Review on Raptic Shield Clear Case For IPhone 11 Pro: Military-Grade Protection With Anti-Yellowing Technology by Srinivasan Bennett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Disabled, Love My Case, BUT Muffled Sound Using Speaker with Deep Voices

I am permanently disabled, which means my cell phone is very important to me. Before buying a phone case, I compared cases on two different review sites to make sure I was selecting a case that included pretty specific features, such as,(1) durability (Geez, it better be because an iPhone 11 Pro isn't cheap);(2) easy button access / control (fine motor issues; painful);(3) the iPhone 11 Pro's speaker quality maintained (hearing loss and holding the phone is painful); and(4) minimal added weight (again holding the phone as well as carrying it in my purse cause pain).So far so good on 1, 2, and 4. Item number 3 depends on the person. Ironically, the voices I typically have the most trouble understanding (high pitched, petite females) sound great using the Defense Shield's tuner system. The manufacturer advertises that their system improves/helps the speaker's sound quality. The reviewers mentioned this too. However, voices similar to my son's that are deep sounded muffled as if he had a cold, which he did not. I've nagged him enough that he knows to speak into the phone and not use his speaker when talking to me. Once, I took him off the speaker phone, I could understand him clearly. The problem was my holding the iPhone in the typical position immediately shortened our call due to the intense pain reverberating through my hand and fingers.In my opinion, the Defense Shield Series does have a significant limitation as it relates to low pitch voices, especially since this a highlighted feature for the case. However, this design flaw also likely affects a relatively small population of customers in any meaningful way. I would recommend this case with the caveat that the buyer understand all of the pros and cons.More importantly, comparing my Defense Shield to the other phone cases I reviewed, I am glad I bought this phone case.
