Review on πŸ“· D&F Aluminium Alloy Protective Housing Case for GoPro Hero 5 - Improved Upgrade with Skeleton Border Frame and Backdoor by Travis Coffman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inexpensive and attractive strong frame!

Arrived 13 days from China. Would have given it a 5 if it wasn't for the square piece of plastic taped to the locking screw hole and the inside of the frame. Couldn't figure out what it was for. As soon as you screw in the mounting screw, the plastic square pops out of the inside of the frame, leaving behind a hard-to-remove adhesive. I used 3M adhesive remover and acetone and finally removed it. I don't know why they couldn't design and attach a piece of rubber or similar material to the end of the stop screw so that the pressure of the screw is distributed across the side of the chamber. Just like now, once you make contact you don't want to keep screwing it or it will leave a mark on the side of the camera. I like the lens cover over the Go Pro's standard bezel, although it covers part of the front display.

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Vulgarity
