Review on 📱 Blue Encased iPhone XR Rugged Holster Case with Belt Clip - Heavy Duty Protective Cover Holder (Rebel Armor Series) by Richard Gallagher

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Excellent quality case - with one big problem

First of all I like a lot of things about this case. Excellent quality. It fits perfectly in your hand. This is great protection for your phone. I like the integrated button covers that allow easy access to all button functions. The latch at the top - as opposed to the typical latch in a holster - is a nice feature. Based on those things this would be a 5 star rating. If there wasn't a serious problem. The problem lies in the case design. Especially because of the way it's designed, you'll have to put your phone in upside down. I'm right handed like most of us and wear my holster on the right side. I've worn phone cases for many years. And anyway, I pulled the phone out of the holster with my right hand and looked at the phone. Then I returned the phone the same way - the top of the phone to the bottom of the holster. I never had to use my left hand to look at the phone or put it back in the holster. But in this case, when you put it in the bottom of the holster with the top of the phone, those pretty button covers get pushed into the sides of the holster. This activates phones with a built-in SOS feature! The first time I did this I didn't immediately realize what was going on and the local police called me to see if I was ok. I did it again within an hour. Of course, if you put your phone in the holster so that the bottom of the phone is at the bottom of the holster, there is no problem as the holster has no sides on the top half. But it's unnatural! To stow the phone this way, I have to flip the phone over with my left hand while holding it with my right. Then the process is reversed when I take it out of the holster to use it. Because of this design flaw, despite all the benefits, I cannot recommend the case and doubt I will continue to use it.

Pros
  • Sturdy case with polycarbonate frame and reinforced (steel rivets) swivel clamp that allows 180° rotation (with 5 additional stages) for vertical and horizontal use.
Cons
  • Disappear
