Review on ๐Ÿ“ฑ Samsung Galaxy A71 5G Holster Case with Belt Clip & Screen Protector - Blue (Not Compatible with Samsung A71 Version) by James Parker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I really wanted this well made case but poor design gets in the way of the screen protector

I really wanted this case to please. Sturdy and well made, protect your phone. The problem is that the poor design of the screen protector gets in the way. Unlike a very durable Resto case, the screen protector that comes with it is made out of thin, low quality plastic and when the phone is installed in the case the screen protector sits well over the phone's screen so you have to press really hard to get to it phone to get screen. To make matters worse, the screen ripped off when the case was disassembled, with a piece of brittle plastic sticking to the phone and separating from the hard inner shell. Unacceptable. So I bought and installed a good screen protector. For some reason, the case compresses the screen protector and lifts the corners, leaving four large areas of the screen protector that aren't resting on the phone's screen. As I said, I really wanted to like this case and I found the design to be very performing and durable. It's certainly better than many phone cases you can find at Revain for Samsung's flagship phones like the A71 5g, as the vast majority of cases appear to look good but ultimately do little to protect the phone itself. But a well-protected phone case is only half the battle. The other half is whether the rugged case will remain usable for the Samsung A71. The answer is no. My phone is clearly well protected by this case. However, the screen is either unusable on the entire surface as it includes a breakable screen that detaches from the phone screen and requires a great deal of force to get to the actual screen. And that screen detached from the frame and remained attached to the phone when disassembled, suggesting it wasn't heavily bonded to the hard shell (probably a blessing in disguise). And if you put another good quality screen on the phone the phone is still useless as the bezel raises the corners of the screen protector making those areas hard to reach. Conclusion: I would not recommend this case. The photos show that the corners of the screen protector are lifted and large air bubbles have formed between the phone screen and the screen protector. You will be the judge.
