i-Blason Armorbox Series Heavy Duty Bumper Protective Case for Samsung Galaxy S7 (2016 Release), Black

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.

I've owned many cases over the years for many phones. Notably Trident armoured cases to protect expensive smartphones whilst I work on building sites.So I needed a good quality case for my new Samsung S7. Trident cases in the past can cost anything up to £30.00 , so I thought I'd look around for a cheaper alternative. Because of the nature of my work I eventually narrowed my choice to two. This one or the "Life Proof" fully enclosed for my S7.Reviews for the "Life Proof" showed that the menu navigation button window will eventually crack and split thus rendering the case/phone open to water and dust which kind of defeats the object of the case in the first place. So I opted for the Armor box. This two piece case has a tough rubber rear shell and a screen protector front shell. I found that my phone fits snuggly inside with no movement. Peel off the protective films of the screen protector and simply clip it into place. There are rubber covers that protect the charging port etc at the bottom and experience has told me that with constant charging the cover will eventually be flapping about. But this for me never will be an issue. Once fitted I found the power and volume buttons work well and the touch screen is very responsive. The only niggle I do have is that it's not easy to shift thumbnail apps around from one screen to another. The protective frame on the front cover stops a thumbnail from being swiped to the far edge and repositioned onto another page of the phone. An index finger proved too big so I eventually managed the repositioning with my little finger, but again if you want your phone well protected there has to be a payoff of some sort. The camera lenses on the phone are well recessed front and rear and hence well protected. Sure there will be ingress of dust due to these openings but a periodic clean is all that's needed. The case is pretty much bombproof and it also comes with a comprehensive detachable belt clip. But curiously it only holds the phone with the screen facing the body so answering a call quickly might be an issue should you choose to use the belt clip. This is a sturdy case that really delivers, and at half the price of a Trident, you simply can't go wrong and I can't recommend it highly enough.Fit it, forget it, job done.

This is a well made protective case. It feels solid and everything fits together perfectly, encasing the phone but still allowing it to be used as normal, although as you'd expect you lose the sleek, smooth look and feel of the bare phone. Some reviewers reported that it is difficult to remove it from the phone, but I haven't found this to be a problem (it seems easiest if you prise it apart at the top edge first, then work your way down). I like that it has a holster with a belt clip - personally I generally prefer this to carrying the phone around in my pocket, although that is still perfectly feasible.My one reservation, and the reason for only stars, is the screen protector. It comprise a sheet of thin plastic material, which after only four weeks already has a number of scratches. That is better than the phone itself being scratched but I was hoping for something a bit more resilient. Also, I doubt if it would protect the screen from smashing if it fell face down on a sharp stones, which is what finished of my last phone, but I guess that is a tall order for any phone case.Overall, this a good product and I am pleased with my choice.

Llegó antes de lo esperado, por el precio no puedes conseguir un mejor accesorio para proteger tu Galaxy S7, resiste caídas y golpes, la protección de la pantalla es muy sencilla, pero te mantiene libre de arañazos y polvo. El ajuste es perfecto y además es compatible con la carga inalámbrica. El envío y atención de muy buenos como siempre.

As expected

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.

Cover semplicemente fantastica!!! Assolutamente ben fatta, resistente ed accattivante!!!La cover è divisa in tre parti (se la cercate sul tubo ci sono molti video che la fanno vedere):- fronte:presenta una cornice già dotata di proteggi schermo (così finalmente addio alle pellicole!) ben fatta e perfettamente trasparente e che funziona ottimamente con il tuch!Il telefono (S7) calza la cornice perfettamente!Vengono lasciati liberi il tasto Home, la fotocamera anteriore, il microfono anteriore e lo speaker sottostante. Presenta anche due sportellini (sempre di gomma ma ben fatti e resistenti) a protezione dell'ingresso cuffie e dell'ingresso per il cavo di ricarica.Sui lati e sui 4 angoli presenta dei rinforzi per assorbire gli urti. Sono presenti anche i tasti per usare i tasti laterali del volume e quello di blocco.- retro:Una volta inserito il telefono nella cornice frontale gli si chiude contro il retro che aderisce perfettamente e avvolge la cornice per una chiusura praticamente ermetica!Il retro è di materiale molto rigido e presenta inserti anti scivolo! Ovviamente lascia libera la fotocamera posteriore e il flesh, ma li protegge a dovere in quanto è più alta di almeno 4/5 mm!- aggancio da cintura:E' una cornice che permette di agganciarci il telefono sia col monitor verso l'esterno che verso l'interno (per un ulteriore protezione).Questa cornice presenta al centro una "molletta" che ruota a 360° in tutte le direzioni con vari punti di fermo, in modo da poter agganciare il telefono alla cintura, allo zaino, marsupio e chi più ne ha ne metta!Conclusioni:I materiali sono davvero ottimi !! Ovviamente ora l'S7 risulta più grande e più pesante...ma per me va benissimo perché ora sono tranquillo e lo porto davvero dappertutto, compreso in cantiere!Penso sia la custodia davvero perfetta per tutto...alla faccia di altre che costano il doppio o il triplo!CONSIGLIATISSIMA!!!!

I have bought this case for myself and my son. My son is in the military and has a way of killing any case that he has had. This one is pretty impressive and tough for the the money. It also works with my fast charger which I like. As I like to say (as a joke), " it is son tested and approved."
