Love the redesign, much stronger around the weak points

Weak point in design, broke by toggle switch

One day the plastic frame cracked by itself at the weak point near the speaker.

Great product although weak point is by bottom ports on phone

So far so good, had the previous version and within a few weeks it broke at the weak point which was where the mute toggle was

Besides this incident I like this model and the manufacturer improved the design reinforcing the weak points with more metallic surface

The rubber ridge comes just enough past the face of the phone that I think it would protect from a screen impact if dropped, which the whole point of a case is to protect the screen from cracking, so that's good

The hard plastic is raised up at the edges in certain points, which I believe overtime become stressed at the weakest points, which is where the cutouts for the ports and vibrate toggle are.

I like the case if it didn't break at a weak point.

However, the previous design was flawed and break in the fragile points of near the phone buttons

I do enjoy the sturdy build, slimness, price point of this product

Looks fairly premium for a cheaper price point

Also, the plastic around the power jack is sharp and irritates the hand when holding the phone in one hand and supporting the bottom of the phone with your pinkyGreat looking case but weak point make this case a poor value.

The hard plastic bumper has several weak points around the cutouts and will crack at some point.

It makes sense, because the portion that broke looks like the weakest point (the tiny piece connecting around the headphone jack)

Item as described - Bought this a while ago, and it failed recently...the weakest point of this case is where the volume and sound toggle is...it lasted nearly 8 months.

A drop will likely break the bumper at one of those weak points

I've had it just over a month when the "aluminum" frame snapped at what is clearly the weakest point at the charging port

I've noticed that many negative reviews are related to this case's outer band, which appears to have several weak point and is prone to cracking
