When I took the case out of its packaging, I was surprised at how high quality it was. The back of the case was a hard plastic, but felt nice and soft to the touch. The edge of the case was made with grippy rubber that made it easy to hold the phone without dropping. Some phone cases that cover the physical buttons make them hard to press, but this case made it easy like there was nothing blocking the buttons. The kickstand on the back was easy to open up and was very sturdy. I could prop the phone up horizontally as well as vertically to watch videos which is very useful. The magsafe magnets on the back allowed me to attach my magsafe battery and stayed on without a problem. Overall, this phone case is one of the best I have used because it gives me the drop protection I want and the convenience of standing the phone on the table to watch videos, all while still being in a slim profile.
