Review on Carbon Fiber Texture Case For LG Stylo 4/4 Plus - Slim Fit Shock Absorbing Soft TPU Cover From Poetic Karbon Shield Series In Black by Jen Coleman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not as grip-py as I hoped

I love that the case isn't too bulky. I love that access to the fingerprint scanner is just as easy to get to as it is without the case. I also like that the edges don't interfere with my swiping or having access to the sides. What I can't stand is that the case is a bit too slippery to hold. The material, while it looks like it has more grip/grit to it, it doesn't. I have very small hands and I've almost dropped this phone about 6 times after I got the case but not once without a case at all. It's also harder to hold due to a) the "squareness" of the edges, and b) the ridges of the cutouts cut into my pinky (which I use as a "base" to keep my phones from slipping through my hand). I'm probably going to have to ruin the case by putting duct or gaffe tape on the back of it to make it more grippy, but this is the third case I've tried and I'm getting sick of returning them (I'm sure Best Buy is too lol). I'll keep it as it is a decent case with some minor flaws but it will be tossed into a drawer once I find a case that I'm more satisfied with.EDIT TO ADD: I've gotten much more used to the case now (about a week or two later). I didn't apply duct tape, but I DID take a nail file to scuff up the sides of the case where your fingers and thumb hold on to the phone -- and since then it hasn't slipped once. :)

Pros
  • Slim, lightweight design is great for on-the-go use
Cons
  • The TPU material may cause the phone to become slick in wet environments
