Pretty good phone case, had to modify it though

So I like this case. It is rigid on the back, but not too rigid. It has some transparency that you can see in the pics. Looks nice. It isn't too slippery, but slides well into my pocket. It doesn't show finger prints and I transferred my PopSocket from my old phone no problems and it sticks well. The up and down buttons for volume worked well, if you can zoom into the pics you can see the inside look of the buttons. They click well and are nice. The buttons are hard plastic that snap into the soft molded side, and i am glad that it is made that way, which you will learn later why. The problem I ran into was the main button, the one on the right. That button on the right was too thick or just uneven. it was like it was partially pushing that button in almost all the time. Like if I wanted to turn the volume up, it would take a screenshot. And just sitting there some times SIRI would activate. And on top of that, the "click" noise when you press the button wasn't clicking. So, I popped the button out and after looking at it, I figured I could just shave off some. I took my wife's finger nail emery boards and started shaving down some of the material on the back of the button. It seems that the back of the button was uneven or too thick. It was shiny where it wasn't hitting the sanding board and matte in the other locations. So I kept sanding it down with the emery board until i felt I took enough off and the surface looked uniform. I popped the button back in and it works great now. Makes a clicking noise and doesn't feel like it is already pushing and everything is working normal. So other than the button modification, the case seems to be working as advertised. I have dropped it a couple of times and it protected the phone fine.

Pros
  • Basic Cases
Cons
  • The Translucent Matte finish may be difficult to apply or remove, making the case less convenient to use
