Review on Ghostek Exec (4Th Gen) Wallet Phone Case Armband Attachment Accessory - (Black) by Kevin Compton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Rugged Case: Holster

This is my first Ghostek case I've bought. I usually get a different case for my cards, but the design of this case intrigued me. I was definitely interested in the modular design of the detachable card holder, as well as the possibility of installing up to 4 cards. When I received the case, I noticed that it has a rubbery surface, but you can tell that one of the layers of the case is like a hard shell. The fit is great as everything is coordinated. However, there is an area that looks like a gap in the armor around the area where the S Pen sits. You can easily pull the S Pen out of the phone, maybe too easily. The area where the S Pen sits is quite a large recess. If it falls on this corner of the phone, you may damage the phone. Other than that, everything else about the fit is great, the buttons have a nice feel and all ports are aligned. It has a raised lip all the way around the phone which is great. Dropping it face down on a clean, flat surface shouldn't be a problem. Thanks to the rubber coating, the cell phone feels good in the hand, but the card holder makes it a bit unwieldy when you have to reach certain areas of the display. The cardholder seems to be holding cards pretty well, I put a credit card in it and shook it quite hard and it didn't budge, adding more gave me the same result. I haven't tried the magnetic part of the card holder as I don't have a phone holder so I can't speak to the strength of the magnet. Removing the card holder is pretty easy, it slides out easily, but don't worry about it slipping off easily as it will snap into place when you put it back. Remember that it will only "fix" in one place. Path. I have some concerns about the card holder, the faux leather looks nice but I'm wondering how long it will last? It doesn't matter if not, but I want it to last at least a few months. Only time will tell at this point. I also worry about the cardholder themselves when it comes to holding cards. I'm not sure if it's glue or something, but I'm worried that later it will lose its firm hold on the cards and the cards will start slipping out. Again only time will tell but for now I can say this is the best card case out there when it comes to functionality, bulkiness and fit. I noticed a few things. After putting several cards in the case, I noticed that it's much freer if you just put one in the slot. I would shake it vigorously, most likely it will fall out, but under normal circumstances it should be fine. Also, when using mobile payment, it is much better to remove the card slot to use it, since it is less accurate when touching and paying, and even more so when using the Samsung MST method.
