i have used Otterbox cases for years for my iPhones and galaxy note3 and my iPad 2 and 3 tablets.They are the primary choice for me , actually it should be only choice . Put on an Otterbox defender case for your phone , that definitely will turn your phone into a rugged device that can take a beat , if you do not mind the extra weight and the bulky!! I frankly have been afraid that I was going to drop my phone and beak it . But Today we are going to have a review for Note 5 from the Southern — Little Rock Series Defender Case for Note 5 from Little Rock Arkansas .Their Ceo contacted me via twitter , and offer a few samples to try out . Links on Amazon : Please click here I have to say , this case is a besst , almost the same protection as otterbox ,but slimmer ;it looks like UAG , but have the extra front frame protection— a PC with a built-in Screen protector . (You need to peel 2 Seal Frame on the Screen protector before installation) The back cover is a clam shell polycarbonate shell combined with high quality PC .The inner pattern use a shockproof technology -so called bee hive suspension system, protects your phone from shock, vibration and scratches The ports are covered with flaps that are tight and designed to lock into place. They are designed to minimize the ingress of moisture or dust into the critical switches and ports. The phone front screen has a cover that covers all of it except the home button because of the fingerprint sensor. The edge of the case is high around the front of the phone and you can get the fingerprint sensor to work but because of the new higher angle of your finger's approach you may want to rememorize your finger prints. All of the controls are accessible and the dual cameras and flash are uncovered to allow you to still take good photos and videos. After several days use , It did protect my Note 5 from drops . It is a rugged style case , You should expect your phone gains some weight and thickness, but it is slimmer than Otterbox Defender . the case is durable as a beast. During the review , my little girl just slam this case several times against the wall as usual , seems like she is a very angry Titan try to destroy everything .But , as we all know , she needs some more energy to let me have a new iPhone 6s plus . The protection is paramount, and all other considerations—even inconveniences—are set aside.There are many pros. 1.In addition to the outer foam, there is an inner bee hive pattern that further cushions the back of the Phone 2.To me , the out side silicone is just like an armor , i feel like my phone just like a sodier in a battle . 3.Fully cover the front screen , it does protect the vulnerable and valuable touch screen .but will not affect any functions 4.Fully Access to all the ports , you can use all the function without take it out the case . 5. For 16 Dollars , is quite good price for me and my family .You will never know how much you need to pay after the marriage and Children, 6. The button works perfect , and it works with my wireless charger1.It is not easy to take the phone out of the case , that might takes you serveal times until you get pissed off 2.This Case is a little bulky 3.The bottom silicone cover might get a little bit loose in the future , which i am worried about, in 1 years maybe Durable , easy to carry , bulky but rugged , lower price with full otter box function , i recommend it for everyone ,who wants to have full package protection http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...ds=Note+5+case Coupon is : artech50
