I accepted a request to try this case out and give a review. My review model is a hard crystal clear slim – style case with clear frosted soft side panels and bezel lip. This same frosted material is patterned on the back face to provide some tactile grip when the phone is placed face up. The side panels have soft covers for the volume and power buttons which allow button access without having to use more force than the naked buttons. The bezel lip is tactile enough that placing the phone facedown holds the phone stationary even on a polished hardwood surface. The case does slide in and out of my pocket without issues. The grill for the speaker and the cutouts for the headphone jack, power cord, S pen, etc. are properly located so that they are all easily accessible. That said, extracting the extended push button top of the S pen can only be done from the backside of the case. This isn’t really an issue but you should be aware of this minor idiosyncrasy. The case fits very snugly over the phone so it shouldn’t ever come off from impact. IMO the best features of this case are the fact that the outer surface mimics the curvature of the sides of the phone thereby retaining the lovely body design, the crystal clear case material the allows the beautiful phone colors and highlights to be seen, and the total absence of irritating hard edges on the case exterior. While I normally carry my Note 5 naked, I will be using this case whenever I am going to expose it to environments that expose it to a high risk of physical damage.
