but the weakest point on the case is the areas around the volume control

It has some questionable points of design... just some unrefined cutouts for buttons and such, but no big deal

Once it breaks, at one of its weak points, it no longer shields the glass edge of the phone from any impact

The weak points are the thinnest parts of the plastic: near the top near the lens hole, and at the side by the buttons

Unfortunately, in their quest to have the thinnest case there are sacrifices made and weak points in the design

n’t recommend the latter), but the poorly designed shape means you’ll be lucky if the case itself survives a few drops without breaking at the weak points.

The slim design has some inherent weak points, which in my case meant that the thin lip that wraps onto the screen of the phone on both sides ended up splitting away from the body of the case

To bad I really liked how thin it was.
