Color options

The packaging is quite attractive. The top of the package opens like the page of a book to reveal the product inside. The following image of the black case in the presenting package gives a good feel for the packaging.

Using The Product

The case and glass together weigh 0.7 ounce (20 g). The case itself snaps on the back of the phone nicely. It is not quite that easy to remove it since it fits snuggly, but it can be pried off without doing any damage to the phone. The case is somewhat smooth and isn't particularly grippy like some other softer cases. There is no lettering on the back of the case to detract from the color of the iPhone.

No instructions are included for applying the tempered glass screen cover, but the process is simple. There's a pull tab for removing the protective backing and the side that goes down is clearly labeled. To apply it, remove the protective backing and line it up carefully. When you are happy with the placement lay it on the iPhone screen and watch while it adheres.

This is a one-time process.  Later, you can pry the glass off the IPhone's face without damaging it, but the glass will lose its adhesion and can't be used a second time.

My main reason for wanting to review this case was the price. It’s very nice to have the option of the clear case so that the design of your phone shows through, and the case is more than adequate as a protective device.

However, this was the first time I had seen both a case and a tempered glass cover included as one product, and certainly the first time I saw both at such a reasonable price. I purchased just a tempered glass cover within the past three months and paid almost $60 for it. The glass cover in this kit is just as good as the one I purchased for almost twice the price and, with the kit, I got a case as well.

Do I Recommend It?

I do. I think the case offers very good protection from scratches and nicks and the tempered glass is an extra benefit. I personally really like using a tempered glass screen protector. They go on, stay on, and don’t get bubbles.
