I was looking for front + back protectors for my SE. On 5S, I have been using Spigen's Neo Hybrid Slim EX, which is just a bumper provided with Spigen's front+back protector films.

I don't know what happened but it seems Spigen no longer supplies their products to Amazon. Looking for an alternative option, I decided to give an Armorsuit a try. I have used it for Garmin watch and some other android phones before and found their quality pretty good.

Well, it turns out that I am no good at applying these to an iPhone and managed to get condensation built up under my camera lens. On top of that, my headphone jack was malfunctioning, thinking something was plugged in when nothing was there. I brought my phone to apple store right away, and was confirmed that I did manage to literally flood the phone while applying the protector films.

Armorsuit does have a good warranty. If I really wanted to, i could file a warranty request and get new sets of protectors to put on my replaced phone. However, the slightest chance that I could cause liquid damage to my phone is enough to steer away from this type of protectors for good.


I ended up getting Ringke Fusion ($7.99)

along with Spigen's screen protector ($9.99)

$18 total. Satisfied finally but it took me quite a journey to get here....
