Drop test crash guard bumper

I got mine a couple days ago... It just seems kinda "meh". The buttons are hard to push.

Mine fits really tight. You can pull it away from the phone on the sides but that's just how bumpers work. If they had made the plastic stiffer it wouldn't have the drop absorbing effect that it needs. My phone doesn't move at all in the bumper and there is no extra space at all. I haven't tried to remove it yet but I can imagine it'd take some effort. The buttons are pretty hard to press. It takes some getting used to for sure. Looks and feels high quality.

With the one I got when the phone is on vibrate it rattles pretty loud due to the "Looseness" of the bumper. It's not HORRIBLE but slightly noticeable... for $30.00 + shipping (which took longer than expected... it was in label created state for 3 days before it went anywhere) I kind of expected better? I've got a few cases/bumpers that were under $10 that fit more snug....

Overall it's decent... I don't think it's $30 + shipping decent vs some of the cheaper under $10 stuff... But then again maybe it does protect way better vs drops than the $10 an under Amazon stuff??? (Not going to test that theory though)
 
Well, I have two coming (6P & 5X). I either made a great buy or not. Dunno yet. But none of the other case options are very interesting to me.

That's strange. Mine is very tight and has not wiggle or rattle of any kind. Perfect fit. I'd maybe try to get another one if I were you. Maybe you got a defective one?
 
Really liking mine.

Blue carbon fiber? I got the memo on that one but didn't pull the trigger. Looks great!

Just tried to plug in some headphones with the case on. No go. Tried 4 different sets of headphones and my portable speakers. None will now fit. They made the access hole too small. :(
 
I finally got my case and I love it!!! At first it was a little weird to hold the phone with the case but after a couple of days, you get used to it.
 
Got mine today. Definitely lighter than the Speck case; about as light as the official microfiber case. The headphone jack is rather small; anything with more than a 4mm plug base might have issues. I don't have any problem with any of mine though.
