Urban Armor Gear case

cali0028 said:
Thanks for posting this!!! Seems like they have modified the bottom cut out from one whole section to three parts which is good if you ask me to make the front face, bottom part more stronger....has anyone else seen that?

I ordered mine just now after seeing this one!!! :p

Yeah stronger, still has slight movement but nothing that will break or can really be fixed without it being breakable
 
Here is my white one that I got today. Not loose at all, feels great in my hand. I think I may have a defective one, the fit looks odd around volume buttons, but they work and have operational feel.
Gonna check with UAG to see if I have a defect.
Except for the odd fit around volume buttons, I like this case a lot and recommend it.

What do you mean by odd fit?

And by loose it is only slightly noticeable, when you press on the back of the case or push down on the iPhone and the case it has some slight movement
 
These are wicked, tempted by the garish orange Outland. Do they have a built in screen protector? Not like a stick on one?

No and that is a good thing, built in screen protection sucks! As you have to buy a new case when you death it too much to see your screen.

But they come with a dry application screen protector, a pretty good one too, no residue web removed.
 
Fourth

Read that it would slide off your hands but I have no issue.

I don't mind the 'slickness' either feels great.

Is yours slightly loose? I can feel the case give when I pick the phone up, kinda makes a little noise too. Also when I push on the phone while holding it in the hand it will push down into e case and show a slight gap.
Overall just feels slightly loose even with front and back screen protectors on the phone

No not really but I had only had it for few hours... Did you notice it right away?

Not right away, but I don't think the case stretches.
I first was too mesmerized by the greatness I the case, then I noticed a slight 'hallow' sound when picking my phone up from rest in a flat surface and then further noticed when tapping the back it sounded hollow so I started to notice the sound I hear was the phone kinda shifting in the case to make the hollow type of sound.

Just a note this case is so great and fits my style thy that I remedied the looseness and would buy another regardless, just don't want to turn anyone away as to the quality and functionality of the case are great.

I do have a question into the customer service to see if the first round of cases, came from amazon before the official shipping date, where slightly larger or defective...?

How is the thickness of this case for the iPhone 5 compared to say the Speck Candyshell. I know people say it is a similar style case, but is the thickness the same or more?
 
I don't have any issues yet and really like it. ... It's a keeper for me for now. Might want to see if they would exchange it out or do a ram and order again to get one from the new batch. Ya I know it's prob a long process but to me it would be worth it...

I am not sure about the thickness but I'll tell this much it's alot better Looking case than speck! It's a keeper for me.

I might order one from elago being that it's below 10$ just as an back up as soon as my wife gets her to see how much she likes it.

Only minorily thicker, but with rubber 'feet' when laying it on its back unlike the speck.
 
Received mine today and I like it. The top and bottom bulge slightly but hardly noticeable. The side where the buttons are bulges just a hair. I only noticed because I was actually looking for it. No where near as bad as the one person posted. The phone fits snug in the case with no excess room and if I try to press the phone towards the inside of the case, it doesn't budge.

Anyone out there happen to have both cases and could take some comparison shots? If not I may have to just get one from Amazon to do it I guess. :D
