We all want to protect our gadgets, especially the expensive ones. It is good that there are so many companies for so many types of accidents. Yes, that’s what I’m talking about today. This review is specifically for the “Bare” iPhone 3G+3GS Mate case. As with anything, there are pros and cons to this case. Unfortunately for “Naked”, the cons far outweigh the pros. It’s not good that the product has a $29.99 price tag. As usual, here’s the short version first, then I’ll cover the details. Simply put, this case is awesome. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I am the worst cell phone case ever. Always.
Here are the facts about the case according to the letter included with the product. While there are few, here they are all the same. 1) The case is built 3G+3GS. 2) built in semi-rigid screen protection. 3) Two-part strong click breakers. 4) Access to all ports and tickets.
Let me go over the pros of this case first. Again, not many, but I try to be as fair as I can with reviews as often as humanly possible. So here it goes. Shock absorption is good because it’s one of the many reasons public buyers start, right? The public wants to know that they will be protected if they drop the phone. I’m not a klutz by any means, but accidents happen and I’d be lying if I said I never drop my stuff. I bring this up because just the other day I dropped my iPhone for the first time. This is about the level in linoleum on the floor. He placed the phone in one of its corners before settling on the ground.
After I recovered from the minor shock, I picked up the phone and removed the case. I checked every inch of the phone (even though I don’t know what I was looking for) and everything was intact. I did some tests: I sent a text, downloaded web pages and so on to make sure the phone’s operation was not suspect. While I admit, I’m no techie, everything seemed fine and in working order. It seems that the reason he did one of the jobs I hired was correct. Although this is in prose, it is connected with this part of the story which I will pursue later.
Then in the pros panel there is access to all the buttons and ports. As simple and stupid as this is, it is very good. I’m surprised at how many cases I’ve seen over the years that didn’t allow access to a port to be removed without reason. So again, it’s a very nice simple feature. There’s plenty of space to trust with the buttons on the side of the phone, the camera isn’t obscured, the speakers are open at the bottom and the headphone and charging ports are as easy to access as a case-less phone.
Another great point for the case is that it comes with a built-in screen protector. Buying a case at $29.99 doesn’t hurt so bad when a screen protector is part of the package. A screen protector was waiting for everything. I have never found anyone rubbing or taking action on the phone. Even though the screen protector is good, it also has a con. I will enter later. I think that what is most in favor of this pro- is that I could not buy a patron outside the screen; as it was built in the case. It is important to note the difference between what I am happy for. More than a cover when effective, it was there and not spend extra money. . I hope that someone makes sense besides me.
Sadly, that’s all the nice things I could think of about this case. Not many, but certainly a few, as I said. They’re not enough to make me want to buy this case again, but at least the case isn’t irreparable. lam time cons. I have most of these.
As I mentioned in the prose section, I dropped my phone and it was safe. But there is nothing to conclude the rest of the story. This is. Probably the most disappointing thing about this case, although the packaging claims that “durable” doesn’t have exactly the same definition as “durable”. Again, I’m not a rustic person, but accidents happen to everyone. After just one drop the case broke and no longer gripped my phone the way it was meant to do. At least taking a break is a better solution than having a phone break. Which I think is done, but as it is almost useless after one drop, it is ridiculous in my most stupid opinion.
I said before that this case is made of two distinct pieces: at the front and at the back. The case fits around the phone sliding from the back to the front in a sort of “tab A in slot B” formation. I don’t like this plan from the start. The corners of the case (near the ear) do not fit together properly. For they do not agree at all. A space was left between the top and bottom pieces. The gap is such that it made a very thin case as opposed to a strong one. Also, the gap allowed all the dirt and grime to contaminate my phone inside. I wish my phone was so dirty that I had to clean it at least twice a week. That might not be a big deal to some people, but I’m the kind of guy who wants to buy a case and leave it. The feather that I want is in the case, it should keep the dirt very much. This saved nothing but the screen commands of my fingers.
“What? Why didn’t the screen respond to your fingers?” Sadly, yes. While I praised this case for having a built-in screen protector, I could say that Case Mate’s R&D has been tested better; department Apart from the protective covering of the body, the protective cover was completely harmless. It happened to me that the screen was so slow that sometimes I would have to shake the damn thing with two fingers to get enough pressure to respond. Sometimes I would have to press the clean buttons twice to get what I needed done. The screen is also made with more inaccurate texting. I would like to press a single letter key, but get different letters on the screen. And yes, I tested the phone without incident so I’m sure the phone wasn’t the problem. The problem is not the phone and my fingers are fat. The screen is full without fail accurate and responsive. A screen protector that makes the screen tough is not good for the perceived accuracy of touch sensitivity and capability.
A few final notes: it’s a species wise accident. It is not shiny, not attractive. It is quite heavy which makes the phone of a surprising size. The risk of taking the phone out of my pocket is a little heavy. All together the product feels rather short-lived. After about a month with this thing, the screen protector started to peel off from the rest of the case (this was before I dropped it). This is done in normal practice. I text, talk, play games and do the usual stuff. This case is going to start breaking so quickly, it’s well… kind of funny.
While I can’t comment on other things through Case Mate I can say with absolute certainty that all “Naked” should be gone. Happy hunting cause.
