i-BlasonCase Designed for Galaxy S7, Armorbox Series Built-in Screen Protector Full body Heavy Duty Protection Shock Reduction Bumper Case for Samsung Galaxy S7 2016 Release (Blue)

I purchased this case for my boyfriend, who is a contractor and very hard on his phones. His S3 was really in sorry sorts for a long time, until one day it finally gave up and wouldn't even turn on. I'm surprised it lasted that long, honestly. Well, when the S3 died he got a shiny new S7 (what a jump!) and was using it WITHOUT A CASE! I could hear coins and stuff jingling against it in his pocket!He's picky about cases, and refuses to use an otterbox because they are so thick. He complains that they make his pocket too bulky. And a holster- forget about it. He scoffed at the idea! Finally, I couldn't take it anymore, and had to order him one. I was worried that this one might be a little thick as well, but from the reviews it seemed that this was the best I was going to get as far as slim yet fully protected. When I gave him the case he sneered at the bulk, rolled his eyes at the holster, and grumpily tossed it on the table. Ugh. Screw him. If he wants to break his phone, then fine!That night, I came home from work, and he had the case on his phone. It is much thinner than I expected. I have the S6 active with a thin headcase case and his phone really isn't that much thicker than mine. His case however, is MUCH sturdier. It's hard plastic, with rubber bumpers, and a protector covering the entire screen. It's nice and grippy (but no so grippy that he complained about it being difficult to slide in and out of his pocket) and very easy to hold, especially compared to the slipperiness of the phone itself. It's good for his fumbling man hands. He mumbled something about it being good.A few days later, I caught him wearing the *gasp* HOLSTER! Apparently, it's more convenient that way, since he can just pop the phone out and check it quick when it goes off, instead of having to dig around among the screws, nails, coins, keys, and who knows what else is in his pocket. He says that it clips in quickly and easily, without having to look, and stays securely clipped to his belt even while climbing around on ladders and crawlspaces and stuff.The case is a little scratched up already. I asked if he had dropped the phone, and he said "Of course I have... a few times." The phone itself is unscathed, so apparently the case is doing the job well. It also seals all around and protects the buttons and recesses, so there aren't bits of spackle and paint in the nooks and crannies. He's actually using it, and it's doing what it's supposed to, so I'm a happy camper. :)On a side note, the screen protector included with this case is plastic. He doesn't notice a difference, but I prefer tempered glass myself. I purchased the i-Blason tempered glass screen protector for my S6 Active and love it, so if you're looking for glass instead, I recommend you check it out.**Update 3/2017**After a few months of (hard) use, the holster finally gave out. It was the little tabs on the side of the holster part, into which the phone itself clips. A dab of gorilla glue brought it back to life for a few weeks, but then it broke again and he couldn't find the broken tab.**Sellers- If it's possible to purchase just a replacement holster (or two), PLEASE let me know :)**He still uses the case, and it's been going strong for about 9 months at this point. I can't even fathom the abuse that this thing has withstood. He recently had to open the case to clean the inside of the screen protector, the first time he's opened it since putting it on the phone, and other than being a little grimy the phone was good as new. Honestly, I'm surprised the phone itself wasn't grimier, after seeing what ends up inside of his pockets by the end of the day!I'm keeping the 5 star rating, even with the broken hoslter, because every other aspect of this case is top notch and has held up through far more than intended.If you've found this review to be helpful, please let me know by clicking the button below.

I was surprised at how tough this case really is. I have dropped it a dozen times already and my phone is still in good shape. I would of given it a 5 star but I really don't care for the plastic cover to protect the face of the phone. It get junk under it easily and sometimes it won't let you touch buttons easily. Overall it's a good case

I only just received this phone case today, but it seems pretty dope so far. I ordered this to replace an Otterbox Symmetry case for my Galaxy S7. When I got this phone, I didn't want a bulky, ugly case for it, so I got the Symmetry case and a tempered glass screen protector. That case didn't have much of a lip to protect the screen, and I'm glad I got the screen protector, as I would've been on my third replacement due to random cracks. So, if you're trying to decide between this one and the Symmetry--get this one. It's heaps better already and actually very similar in size.Anyway, the i-Blason case was about half the price of that Otterbox (which cost me about $30 ordered through Amazon, no telling what they would've charged locally), and so far I'm very impressed. It seems really sturdy, but it's also not too bulky. The plastic screen protector is very responsive, and I honestly think that the people complaining about not being able to get to the edge of the screen are just being whiny babies. The lip on the front is high enough for me to confidently say that it will protect the screen, without restricting use in any way. This case also works beautifully with my Seneo wireless charging pad. Seriously. It's amazing.On my last phone, I had a SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle for about two years, and it did an awesome job. I considered purchasing another for this phone, but I'm glad I went with this one instead. This case is just sleeker looking and slightly more grippy. The SUPCASE is top notch, but it's kind of boxy and visually displeasing after having one for a couple of years already. Also, this screen protector seems better out of the box. I went with the white one, as I was digging the storm trooper look. I'm attaching some photos, as I didn't see that the white one was getting much love in the photo section, and I actually really like it so far. I'm also adding a few side by side photos with the Otterbox for size reference. Will update if it turns out to be garbage.TLDR.. Better than Otterbox Symmetry. Slightly better than SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle from a couple years ago. Works perfectly with wireless charging pad. Not too bulky. The white case looks like a storm trooper. Get this one.

Die Hülle ist top, kann ich uneingeschränkt empfehlen und ich hätte sie gerne für mein neues Handy ebenfalls gekauft (gibt es aber leider dafür nicht). Ich habe sie bei Arbeiten in der Landwirtschaft (sehr viel Staub und Dreck und Stöße hier und da) sowie in der Freizeit (viel draußen in der Natur) genutzt und nie Probleme damit gehabt. Sie schützt das Handy wirklich rundum sehr gut. Auch der Fingersensor funktioniert gut (und ich hatte auf dem Telefon selbst sogar noch eine Panzerfolie geklebt und darüber die Hülle von Blason).

Tous les détails sur cette protection très pratique et efficace.En comparant les commentaires de plusieurs types protections sur les téléphones mobiles, j’ai été convaincu par ce modèle, car de nombreuses utilisateur vantaient sa grande solidité par rapport à d’autres solutions déjà testées. Je confirme, c'est vraiment une coque qui protège très efficacement le téléphone ! De nombreuses chutent (donc une chute en scooter, et une chute en escalade ! ) ne sont pas venues à bout ni du téléphone, ni de l’écran, ni de la coque ! Elle est vraiment très robuste ! La coque est épaisse et les angles amortissent bien les chocs. Les 4 mm de sur-épaisseur en face avant (habituellement c’est 1mm, ou 2mm maxi) protègent vraiment bien l’écran des impacts. Sauf, bien sur, si l’écran tombent directement sur un cailloux pointu, mais là je pense que RIEN ne protège l’écran, pas même un verre trempé ! D’ailleurs, sur ce modèle on peut rajouter un verre trempé fin collé (j’ai mis du 0,26mm d’épaisseur) pour vraiment garantir la protection de l’écran, et les bords du verre ne se décollent pas (contrairement à plein d’autres coques où ce n’est pas possible). La sur-épaisseur arrière (4mm) protège très efficacement l'objectif photo, sans le recouvrir. Le film plastique de la coque avant évite l'eau et la poussière, mais ce n'est pas un verre trempé. Ce film plastique est pratique, mais il faut reconnaître qu’il y a une très légère perte de sensibilité au contact des doigts, même si ce n’est pas gênant (sauf pour les puristes qui veuillent un écran ultra-sensible pour faire du game). Je confirme un des commentaires précédents qui indique que l’ouverture de la barre de notification en haut est moins évidente avec la coque (avec la sur-epaisseur 4mm de la coque avant) surtout si on a des gros doigts ! mais on s’habitue rapidement. Le fait que la coque soit en 2 parties assemblées permet à chaque partie de très bien englober l'ensemble du téléphone (contrairement aux coques ordinaires d'une seule partie qui protègent l’arrière mais trop peu la face avant, pourtant la plus fragile). D’ailleurs, ces 2 parties se séparent facilement sans outil si on veut accéder à la carte SIM ou la carte mémoire SD. Et lorsque les 2 coques sont assemblées, elles tiennent très fermement ensemble. Cette coque fait un véritable armure à votre téléphone, pour un prix correct. C’est un bon investissement. Je comprends que I-Blason garantisse sa coque 1 an, et ils ne prennent pas de risque, parce qu’elle est solide et qu’elle ne craint rien ! Malgré son épaisseur, la coque reste légère, et pas gênante. Par contre c’est sur que l’ensemble est bien plus épais que le téléphone nu, ou que les coques basiques ! On sent la différence dans la poche. Et le design ne passe pas inaperçu. Prise en main agréable, et bonne adhérence dans la main (plastique non glissant, et bords en caoutchouc) L’accès aux prises (USB et audio) est un peu rigide tout de même et pas très pratique au début pour la prise USB/charge (le caoutchouc est épais). Les touches extérieures du téléphone fonctionnent très bien avec la coque. La qualité du son est totalement préservée, autant en HP qu’en micro, c’est important pour faire des enregistrements sonores ou vidéo. La coque supplémentaire pour porter le téléphone en ceinture est pratique, même si c’est vrai que l’écran plaqué contre soi (et non pas face visible) ce n’est pas pratique pour voir l’écran, et il faut sortir le téléphone à chaque fois qu’on veut s’en servir. Mais on peut comprendre la logique de I-Blason de protéger l’écran en ne le mettant pas face visible. D’ailleurs les concurrents font pareil (écran caché = écran protégé). Toutefois, on peut quand même monter le téléphone à l’envers (donc écran face visible) en le plaquant très fermement dans son logement. Ce n’est pas prévu pour, mais c’est faisable tout de même (moi je m’en sers comme ça).Globalement, je suis totalement satisfait de cette coque, et je la recommande pour ceux qui cherchent une VRAIE protection efficace, qui reste abordable, légère, pratique. Je l’ai conseillé à plusieurs amis qui travaillent sur chantier, et ils sont contents d’avoir un téléphone enfin à l’abri.

The case is essentially in 3 parts - the rugged outer layer, the rubbery inside and the screen protector at the front. Plus the optional holster.The I-Blason is a rugged 360 degree case, comfortable to hold, slightly rubbery feel to the bumper round the screen that makes it secure in my hand.The cut out round the camera lens, flash and sensors is cut well back so will not impede their use. However a sliding cover would be on my wish list. That said the rear case has rubber blips that lift the back and together with the thickness of the case hold those sensitive parts clear by about 5mm. So they will be safe other than by a direct impact by it landing on a pebble for example. The blips help air to flow beneath the phone when NFC/wireless charging and so keep the phone cooler. It is suggested that the case should be taken off if you want to use the Samsung Fast Charge - I have always left it on with no ill effects as long as it is on a hard surface with good airflow.The holster is great and can be rotated to hold the phone securely vertically or horizontally. The phone, with screen facing inwards drops into 2 corner cups at one side and rests against 2 on the other. A secure clip easily opens and closes holding the phone. The belt clip is secure on my belt and can't be lifted off as there is a lip that would prevent this if someone were to try to grab it.The front of the case has generous cut outs for sensors, speaker and front facing camera. The Home button is cut out so finger print access etc., is not impeded. The soft keys are covered as part of the screen protector, but their function is not affected.Sensitivity of the screen is not reduced whatsoever and is just as smooth as the glass. All actions of keyboard, Swipe to form words, Zoom, Pinch etc., work perfectly well. However the swipe down for Notifications and Options only works in portrait mode due to the steeper angle of the bumper at the sides of the screen.As the Gorilla Glass screen is covered by the screen protector in exchange for the protection, it brings with it more easily seen finger marks and reflections. As far as robustness of the screen protector is concerned reviews on YouTube rate it highly. If I drop the phone on say gravel, I will add an update.The sides cover the Volume and Power keys completely and have new easily operated well aligned covers. Speaker grills top and bottom have cut outs, but the Headphone and Power/OTG sockets are covered by pull down covers which completely seal them. They are a little bit fiddly and may be impossible to lift if you have large fingertips or no fingernails as they are slightly recessed against the bumper round the screen. I envisaged cutting them off at some point, but even after 18 months still had not done so because I can hold the phone by the tab to insert the charger plug. The charging cable is not knocked out of line and charging takes place as normal.Although the case was relatively easy to put on with its removable dust cover, I found it hard to keep dust out so when assembled it was hard to tell which of the 3 surfaces had the dust particles on. But that was down to me. I lived with it and have never taken it off.The holster clip took a lot of punishment from me over 18 months of flexing it to retain and release my phone about 20 times a day. So eventually after approximately 22,000 flexes snapped off. I had no hesitation in buying a replacement immediately as I expect to keep the phone for another 18 months.I have reviewed my comments after 18 months use and can now give 5-stars. I would recommend this case highly and will definitely be buying one when I eventually get my next phone.

This case is still being used after several years

Obviously an old case for an old phone. This is the second one I have used. The screen has not lasted that long and is easily scratched, but the case itself is very durable.
