Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

So I am mowing my yard on my riding mower. I had my phone in the smartspeed case. It fell out of my pocket. To make a long story short I ran it over. It flew out the side of the mower, I thought it was a small piece of can or something. Couldn't find my phone, looked in the yard and there it was. Not a scratch on the phone , but the case took all of the trauma. I immediately bought another one on Amazon. Would recommend to anyone. A tough case that saved a phone.
Very cool-looking case. My wife commented it looks very "masculine," and hey, with my silver iPhone, it matches my truck! 👍
Three issues:
Two are minor: The heavy metal parts have no type of rubberized bits to keep the case from sliding around on a smooth surface or scratching a delicate tabletop.
Another minor issue was that the case was difficult to fit over the phone, causing a slight flex of the faceplate, which in turn caused one of the screws to be hard to tighten. I had to loosen all of the screws slightly in order to get the faceplate fully tightened, and even then, the case seemed to be just barely warped; it would not lay flat, either face up or down. I would suggest a case made of plastic in this design would be a much better product.
The other (major) problem is the case apparently does block the phone's signal. On the one day with the case on, I had half of the usual LTE signal I would normally get. Sitting on my couch, just a few feet from my wireless router, I would still have reduced wifi signal, with slow video loading/streaming.
Slippery, heavy, adds considerable amount of weight to the phone, and it impaired my phone and GPS signal. I had no issues with phone calls or GPS until I started using this case, at which point both became considerably worse. I would not recommend this case to anyone. All of these 5 star reviews must be fake. If only the other 1 star reviews had been posted before I decided to purchase this.
This is a solid case and it looks awesome!. The unit has a perfect fit and was super easy to install. It came with the a small screwdriver for assembly. My favorite part about the case is it's NOT flat on the sides, so it allows you to have a good grip on your phone. I usually carry my phone In my front pocket and the metal does not snag in anyway. Highly recommended if you want something different than a rubber or pleather case. Worth the money!
I initially loved this case but was having signal and GPS issues. I thought it was a phone or carrier issue until a recent trip with my wife who is now on same phone and carrier. I has limited GPS and no service nearly the entire weekend where as my wife sitting next to me didn't miss a beat. Once I got someplace to get a screw driver I removed the case and my signal was better. Very disappointed since the case itself had been one of my favorites. I see they have new designs and I need to see if the have resolved the issue.
It looks cool as shown in the picture. The little screws come loose and fall out. And it dropped and shattered my screen it is not a protective case at all! And it kills the signal
