The case at first glimpse is quality and crystal clear. It was only when I looked closely that the manufacturers have added a protective film to inside and out to ensure it stays that way until used. When this was removed it looked even better.

The case fit is perfect and unlike my previous case, all the buttons work perfectly without having to wrestle them to persuade the phone I am actually pressing them!

There is enough of a rim on the case around the cameras and the screen edge to make me think that drops will be handled with ease and fulfill the ‘shockproof’ claim. The Magsafe ability is excellent and provided a strong connection to my official apple magsafe charger.

The icing on this cake is the provision of a privacy screen protector, along with the required accessories to fit it (wipe, cloth, guide stickers and anti dust sticker). Having used ‘self-fitting’ protectors more recently, this was the first time reverting to using guide stickers, however it went perfectly as the screen was very easy to handle and didn’t slip or bend. The privacy aspect of the screen is impressive and I’ve tried to show that in the attached video.

UPDATE: The privacy screen has an impact on the Face Recognition, making it slightly more tricky to open the phone unless your face is in the perfect position. This can the case with a lot of privacy screens as reported on Apple forums and due to the light being filtered which throws off Face ID. The solution seems to be to register an alternative appearance with the privacy screen in place. Very inconvenient and may put some people off using the filter, as it will me if this alternative face ID doesn’t work consistently.

Adjusted score accordingly as the case is still impressive, even if the filter may put some people off.
