SUPCASE for Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5 Case with Screen Protector, Blue

I didn't want to review this case until I had it for at least a week. So far I've only dropped it once on carpet, which is quite rare for me since dropping my iphone 4 onto concrete was a daily thing for me. With this as my only experience of a hard impact with this case, I cannot judge the case's protection in that aspect, but I will provide my pros and cons on everything else. Pros: -Case seems sturdy enough to withstand 3-ft drops on hard floors - the "inner" case is a hard plastic, then the "outer" part is a tough rubber with a hard plastic backing similar to the Otterbox material for the iphone 4 case. -Does not allow the phone to bend while in my front pocket. -Built in screen protector allows easy access to the finger print function of the home button. -Side buttons are easy enough to push through the case Cons: -Case is hard to install/remove -Screen protector does not rest flat and smooth on the screen, especially around the Home button, so there is a small space between the screen and protector that allows small particles that can interfere with the touch screen -Since the screen protector doesn't rest flat across the screen the outside edges of the screen don't always register your touch through the screen protector, so you have to press/swipe a couple times to get it to register. -Also, the screen protector is a magnet for dust and particles, so be sure to wipe both the phone screen and the screen protector super clean before installing. Other than that, I really like this case. My previous case was an Otterbox for the iphone 4, and I dropped that thing every day for 2.5 years and I never once cracked the screen or had a problem with it. This case seems almost to that standard for the iphone 6, but as I said, I have yet to drop it on hard floor, but this may be that the phone is bigger and easier to hold, or that the case is more "grippy" than my old case that slid out of my hand easily. For now, it gets a 5/5 stars. We'll see what happens when I drop it for real. Edit April 19, 2015: So I've dropped the phone in this case a few times now, and no damage whatsoever. Great case Cons: The included screen protector just kept getting stuff (dirt, lint, etc.) stuck between it and the screen, so I just took it out and bought a $10 tempered-glass screen protector. I was able to put the screen protector on the phone, and then put the case back on. It's so much better this way, but there is quite a collection of lint/dust between the edge of the screen protector and where the case covers the phone. However, I don't mind this, and, therefore, I haven't had to take the case off since I installed the protector (~December 2014). I would still recommend this case, but I would say get rid of the built-in screen protector and buy a stick-on to save yourself some hassle with having to clean it every week. Update October 10, 2016: This case outlasted my iphone 6 (after 2 years of use the screen won't turn on, so getting it replaced). The case protected my phone from several drops on hard floors and the screen never cracked, and the phone looks like new. I have had the 3rd party screen protector on it this whole time and the phone has been functional with both the case and screen protector. I even dropped the phone in a small tupperware of ~1" bleach and bacteria, and the case worked great at preventing water leakage. The only things that have broken on the case were the small plastic pieces at the bottom that help hold the flap covers for the 3.5mm jack and the lightning cord slots. One side for each slot broke off, but it doesn't much affect the functionality of the case except it might affect water protection, and the covers don't stay as tight. But for $20 for this case lasting 2 years and protecting my phone like a brick, I'd say it was well worth it.

I love this case and if mine ever breaks I won't hesitate to purchase another. If I could give it 6 stars I would. I got the new iPhone the day it came out and originally ordered this case as a cheap holdover until the new Otter Boxes or Life Proof cases came out. I expected to use it for two or three weeks and then ditch it without a second thought. After about a day of having it on the phone it was obvious that wasn't going to happen. It pops on and off super easily (without being so easy that you're afraid that if you drop it it might somehow come out) and protects to phone from all angles. The front has a plastic screen protector built in along with a healthy lip to protect the screen if dropped. Where the home button/finger print scanner is there's plenty of space to comfortably operate the button and there's no obstruction when scanning your fingerprint. The back has six hexagonal rubberized feet to hold the phone in place when resting screen side up. They won't keep it from falling off of something at a steep angle but they're a nice feature. The one (somewhat curious) feature is where it says "Unicorn Beetle" smack dab in the center of the back of the case. At first I really didn't like this and found it confusing...what the heck is a Unicorn Beetle. After a while I got used to this little quirk and now I find it pretty funny. Other people tend to get a kick out of it as well. All of the ports on the phone have flexible coverings that aren't obstructive and do a good job keep the dust and other detritus out. The best thing about this case is the profile, it's very slim. This phone is significantly larger than my previous iPhone 4 but with a case on it's still slimmer than my old one was with it's chunky Otter Box on. It feels great in your pocket, this is a huuuuuuuge plus I can't stress enough how nice it is that this is a thin case, it doesn't bulge out of your pocket like some of the others and doesn't feel uncomfortable at all. In the end I decided not to waste my money on the ridiculously expensive Life Proof or Otter Box case and stuck with this one that does more than enough to protect your phone. I couldn't be happier having saved a ton of money, about 10 months in this case has held up extremely well, I'd definitely recommend it.

I hope this case holds up for a while. It appears so good that I'm tempted to cancel/refund my AppleCare. I've had previous iPhones in Otterbox cases. Initially I used the Defender, but pretty soon you realize that case takes too much of the elegant design away... converting your high-tech and well-designed device into something big and clunky. I "graduated" to the Commuter, and I was quite happy with that on the 4s and 5s. What I liked about the Commuter is the raised lip which provides screen protection... and the Otterbox "hard screen" (if you know what I mean) provides more protection, while it doesn't even seem to be there. Where the problem comes in... is with the new Otterboxes. Read the reviews... they're horrible. People say the fit is off, etc. So I started looking elsewhere. Costco offers the Spigen Armor case... which fits well, but doesn't seem to offer virtually any protection... certainly not on the screen side. It's not that it has no screen protector, but even the lip is TINY TINY TINY... Barely any lip at all... so, what's the point? Since the iPhone 6 screen has this curved edge on it... if the case just grabs that... and you drop your phone, you're going to be very lucky if nothing hits the screen... even if the phone lands flat... a dime is thicker than the Spigen case lip. Guess what? The Spigen case is going back. The other case I liked, which disappeared from Amazon before I could order it the same day I found it... was Obliq. I also ordered one of those from eBay... but if I had already received this case... the SupCase... I wouldn't have bothered. The SupCase is PERFECT... it's the perfect compromise of protection, while maintaining a fairly sleek and techy appearance on your new iPhone. If it holds up... I almost can't say one thing bad about this case! If I had one criticism... I'd encourage SupCase to lose the "flaps" for the lightening connector, etc. Flaps on cases suck... just mold those openings into future cases... but with the "pros" of this case, I can live with that one small "con". Here's what I like: It has a nice, deep lip around the screen. Not too deep, but deeper than many slim cases I've seen. This lip not only rises around the perimeter of the screen, but it actually slightly encases the front screen. Meanwhile, you lose ZERO screen real estate to this protection. You can see the actual phone screen edge before the perimeter of protection starts. The screen protector is nice. It's like the good protection that came with the older Otterboxes... i.e. a HARD SCREEN that's just like the phone glass... if you take your time putting on the case, and do it right (which isn't hard, but have somebody with good hands do it)... then it's as if it's not even there. Mine came out perfect and I felt the whole case install was quite easy. I used an eyeglasses wipe to clean off my fingerprints... then a few strokes with a dry lens cloth. I looked across the face in the light to be sure I wasn't about to trap any dust between the protector and the phone... and Voila'! Perfect! The case has slightly grooved edges... so it's easy to hold your phone too. Again, this is a subtle design cue... just a nice touch. The rubber of the outer case is kind of stiff... and a little hard, but at least to me, that inspires confidence, and it also keeps your phone very pocket-able. The "knurled" texture and soft rubber of an Otterbox makes it nearly impossible to quickly pocket any phone. You won't have that problem here. I also like the overall shape and indented design on the back of the phone. The angles and edges look sharp, without feeling sharp. The "holster" works... smoothly and seems to be secure, although I don't expect to use it much, if at all. There are times when the larger size of the latest phones could be a problem for pockets... so who knows, maybe I'll give it a shot. The fit inspires confidence. Finally, the on/off button was difficult to push with the Spigen case... All button action through the SupCase is BRILLIANTLY EASY... as if the case isn't even there! So... am I happy? Yes! I'm very impressed with almost every detail of this case... and it's reasonably priced. Realize that I just got it and wrote a review right away... so this could change, but I'm so impressed with the fit and finish of this case that it prompted me to give a glowing review right away.

This is a very solid case, slim but still protective. This case blows the Otter Box out of the water. One problem I have had in the past with other cases of this sort, were that they came very loose after excessive use and starting tearing from the looseness. This case has been on and off my phone various times over the past 4 months and still fits as tight as can be. The case is initially a bit tough to get on, it's a very tight fit and will take a moment to get everything lined up. You may feel as though you are damaging or breaking the case, but it is almost necessary to provide this much force to get it to set properly. This tough-tightness, however, pays off in the long run, as I mentioned above. I do have a few things that could have been improved, the screen protector isn't amazing, it scratches fairly easily and it is quite easy for dust and debris to get under the cover. I found that the dust and debris that is getting under the cover, is coming in at the cut-out for the "Home" button. The belt clip seems to be of decent quality, I had many issues with the iPhone 5 Otter Box clip, as they would continually break on me. I drive a lifted Jeep Wrangler and it is hard to get in and out without bumping the clip on the side of the door, which is way I use the belt clips until they break and then go back to pocket-use. The Otter Box clips usually lasted 2-4 weeks before they would break from constantly getting beaten up. This belt clip lasted 2-3 times that amount. In the end, it ended up breaking still, but case-and-point, it still lasted much longer than the competitors did. If you are looking for a slim, yet protective case, I would definitely recommend this case for you.

I don't post reviews for most of the stuff I buy, but I wanted to at least comment on this case. i bought this BEFORE I even bought the iPhone 6 (because I knew I would be and wanted to have a case prepared to protect the phone). Considering what these cases sell for in stores - this was a bargain. This is a VERY nice looking and durable case, and I'm very pleased. As a few reviews stated, they don't give much instruction on how to take the case apart. I did a search on YouTube and found several great video reviews that walked me through it easily. Just search "Supcase Iphone 6". They are there. My new phone fits snugly inside, and I feel much more secure holding this than I do the slippery phone. It does hide the "sleekness" of the phone, but what case doesn't? That's why you're putting a case on it.. to protect it. As other reviews mentioned - all buttons are accessible easily, and I really like that they are covered (with easy opening tabs) which prevents any residue/gunk from getting in the phone. (Side Note: I traded in an Iphone 5 to reduce the cost of my new phone, and when I took the 5 out of the case, I was shocked how much gunk had gotten between the phone and the case! Fortunately nothing scratched or put permanent marks. I don't see that happening with this case, as it is all enclosed). The built-in screen protector does make a strange, faint little noise when I tap on it - but no big deal. Does it smudge? Yes. So does ANY screen protector I've ever put on my phones. I am able to wipe the smudges off with ease. Most importantly, the screen protector has not interfered at all with the touch sensitivity of the screen. All in all, very happy with this purchase after using for just a few days. If anything should change or I discover anything worthy of mentioning.. I will update the review.

Excellent case! I have used this case every day for about a week now and it is almost exactly what I wanted. In less rugged situations I prefer my simple leather bumper case but when I am doing rugged outdoor activities this case provides a much greater level of protection. I used an Otterbox on my old iPhone 4 and it did a fine job of protecting but this case suits my needs slightly better for the iPhone 6. I sometimes carry my phone in a breast pocket while rock and ice climbing, where it can be subject to substantial bumps and bangs, bordering on abuse. The main feature I wanted was a rugged, rigid cover for the screen to protect it while climbing. A simple screen protector (the type that allows you to use the touch-sensitive screen while in place) is nowhere near adequate protection in this situation. Like the Otterbox, being able to add a solid plastic cover over the screen allows this case to provide adequate protection for my needs. So, for me, it comes down to this case or the Otterbox. Compared to the Otterbox, this case is: 1) not as bulky 2) much easier to slide in and out of a pocket (the rubber on my Otterbox tends to catch on the fabric) 3) comparable in terms of protection (at least it seems to be based upon using it thus far) 4) slightly easier to put on and remove 5) less expensive (although the price difference is not a significant factor compared to the $840 value of the phone it protects) All of the phone's features work fine with this case in place but it does require a bit of extra time to access the charging and headphone ports and to put it on and remove it. These are tradeoffs that make sense for me, maybe not for everyone. I am not fond of the belt clip (which mostly just gets in the way when the phone goes in and out of my pocket) and I will probably never use it as intended, especially in a rugged environment. All in all, this is the best case I have found for my purposes. Note, that it provides excellent protection against bumps and bangs, and good protection against splashes, but it is NOT waterproof. If you need a case to be truly waterproof I suggest putting your phone into a waterproof box.

WINS: — 2-piece design ensures phone stays in its case, unlike so many 1-piece press-in cases that pop out (even partially) in my pocket — Case doesn’t flip switches on the phone without my knowledge b/c it’s coming out — Well protected when phone falls on the floor or ground — The two case parts fit very well together and look sharp when the case is put together. ISSUES — Clear plastic layer glued onto case frame wants to serve as a screen protector, but it’s design is fundamentally flawed in two ways: 1) When the case is exposed to even a few drops of water or mist, water invariably finds its way into the wrong places. Both the hole in the clear layer around the home button and the hole at the top for the phone speaker etc. expose the phone to the air, so water easily wicks up and gets trapped between the clear layer and the phone screen, in large, thin, annoyingly persistent and mobile globs. These globs can make the touch screen interaction unreliable, and they don’t just evaporate away. Even cleaning the phone case with a tiny 91% alcohol spray can cause the alcohol to get trapped in the same places. These globs persist until the tight-fitting case is pried off the phone and both case and phone are dried off completely. 2) When you are drying off your phone and case (or just cleaning them), HEAVEN HELP YOU if you don’t use a dust-free, static-free microfiber cloth, because even a few dust particles trapped between the phone screen and the case will drive you CRAZY. FWIW I fixed both of these issues permanently by carefully prying the clear layer off the case. The company shouldn’t bother with this layer; good screen protectors like the ones Clearz makes are great, they attach well to the phone screen, and don’t cause problems like this. — Not the easiest to take the case off — Case’s steep upward slope at the edges of the screen can make it hard to select text, etc. at the edges (this is true of many cases that use this strategy to try to protect the screen during falls) SUMMARY With the screen protector piece removed, I am now very happy with this case. My last several cases were one-piece press-ins that drove me nuts when the case would flex in my pocket and start peeling off, switching the Mute Switch to ON without my knowledge. This case completely solves that issue while looking sharp and keeping my phone safe. For this, I am grateful.

I had just gotten a new iPhone and had previously bought this style of SUPCASE for my Samsung Galaxy S5 Active. Seeing as how I loved that case I had no problem coming back to SUPCASE for a case for the iPhone. While the build quality and accessibility to the phone is great, this case just felt a bit off to me. I felt as though I really didn't have a good grip on the phone and the port flaps seemed tougher than usual to open to insert headphones or a charger (which is no big deal as they will become more manageable over time, that's not at all a reason to not like this case). Also the screen protector does not sit flush on the screen, unlike the SUPCASE I had for my Galaxy S5 Active. The screen protector would be flush up top but was puckered/raised towards the bottom near the home button/finger scanner and that allowed dust and debris (or lint if you kept it in your pocket) to get in under the protector and onto the physical screen. Meaning you'd have to take the case apart to clean it every once in a while which is kind of monotonous. The product also comes with a belt holster. ...Which unfortunately snapped upon the second time I used it. It was NO fault of the manufacturer, it was just unfortunate that the case snagged against the seat of the car while I was getting in and pulled on the edge and snapped the clip from the base. Not a big deal for me as I haven't used a belt holster in quite some time but I digress. The belt holster it comes with is sturdy and keeps your phone secure while on your hip. It does not double as a kickstand if that's anyone's cup of tea. All in all SUPCASE is still a great alternative to the Otterbox empire and they make quality products that I'd have no problem recommending to others. Just a few minor things for me that swayed my liking of this particular product from them.

Nice case, offers a good degree of protection for tablet, basically got this to protect the screen but like it for the all around protection it provides, robust without being too bulky.

I bought this based on Amazon US reviews & was as impressed as most of those reviewers. For the price it's excellent value: the build quality is good, it all fits together well, and the plastic screen cover is firmly pressed against the screen so that there's no space between (i.e. when you tap you don't hear the screen cover hitting the screen glass).

Sehr schneller Versand. Verarbeitung und Qualität ist für den Preis völlig ok. Würde ich jedereit wieder bestellen. Touch funktion bleibt tatsächlich wie vorher. Hätte ich nicht gedacht.

Excelente producto, resistente, sencillo, queda como guante a la mano

Au premier vu j’étais très sceptique (en réception), cependant après avoir installé mon téléphone dedans, je constat qu'il est protégé de manière très efficace. Devant comme dernier, il est protégé mais tout reste accessible et fonctionnel. La boiter a un look assez industriel donc dire au revoir au look raffiné de ton iphone. Mais au moins je sais qu'ici 2 ans il restera comme neuf dans sa coquille assez rigide. Les connectiques sont bien protégés, mais restant accessibles, grâce un son système de "bouchon". Le caoutchouc est dure, ce qui don un air un peu "cheap", mais au contraire, de ce que j'ai pu constaté, il est de très bon qualité qui résistera à l'épreuve du temps. Bien nettoyer l’écran avant l'installation de la partie face. Plus besoin d'un vilain protège écrans avec ses maudites bulles d'air!!! On peut le resortir de sa coquille mais il faut de la patience et de la tendresse! Quelques petits embouts de fixation en plastic/caoutchouc ont l'air fragile. Sinon sans problèmes. Je le recommande fortement. Qualité/Prix très correcte.
