Galaxy S5 Case, SYONER [Shockproof] Hybrid Rubber Dual Layer Armor Defender Protective Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy S5 S V I9600 [Gray/Black]

This case is well designed. It fits like a glove. But just like racing gloves, it needs to be put on carefully for it is an intentional tight fit. If you follow the correct procedure, it will slid on the first time.Buy this case. Just take your time to learn how it is installed.

Just received today. Seems sturdy, fits perfectly. Possibly a tiny bit slippery on the sides where I hold it. I don't really think it's going to bother me, and if it does I'll just rub a little clear silicon sealant where my fingers go to give it a little tack. The back has a hard rubber overlay on the plastic with a football-like texture. Overall it has a nice feel in the hand, as opposed to the un-cased phone which I found really hard to hold. The opening on the bottom for the charging port is left open on the bottom, so you can still get a fingernail in it to pop open the charging port cover. If they had made the opening the same size as the port (like the power and volume button openings) you'd have to use a tool to open the cover.Took me five minutes to get on because I had to figure it out. Next time will be 30 seconds. Turn the phone off. Put the rubber on. Put the plastic over the entire power button side. (Seller comment says do the volume button side first, but if you do that you'll end up operating the power button several times in the next step.) Put the other side of the plastic on the other side of the phone until the bottom is on as far as you can get it and the top rests flush behind the volume button. Use a small screwdriver to pry up the top edge of the plastic near the top of the volume button just enough to start sliding it over the button. You'll get it over about half of the button. Then use the screwdriver to pry up the plastic just below the button and push it the rest of the way on. At that point you'll likely have a little of the rubber squished out too far on that side. Just use your thumbs to push it and the plastic away from the phone and push it back into place.Sure, if you grab the rubber on the top or bottom where it's not reinforced with plastic you can pull it away from the phone. If you really wanted to you could pull it hard enough to tear it. So... don't do that. Problem solved. As it comes, it's snug on the top and bottom and I don't expect any problem with rubber failure.

Overall this is a nice case. The only issue I have with it is that the hard plastic on the sides, where you hold the phone with your fingers, is a little slippery. Other than that it is a nice case. The install can be a little challenging. Like others have mentioned when installing the hard outer case, I found it easier to put the power button side in first and then bent the upper corner where the volume buttons are to get them in. It is tricky.

Awesome case! Granted, I know my having an s5 in 2018 is really rare. The case is a little tricky to install, however, when you finally get it to pop into place, you wonder why it was even difficult in the first place. This case is great! It feels sturdy without feeling huge against your hands. I also replaced my screen protector and now I feel like I have a brand new phone! I'm sure the other case models are great too but you can't beat the priceling for a years old phone! I am very happy!

Great product

Just ok cheap cover, the rubber is flimsy and feels cheap. The plastic portion seems tough and reliable, but I don't like the rubber, too flimsy feeling and stretchy, especially by the charger port. The speaker hole seals off quite a bit when laid face up, muffling the sound. It does have a decent grip on the back, nice feel in your hand, and shipping was fast. Pretty sure I'm going with a unicorn beetle, have one for iPad, much better density of the rubber/silicone for longevity. This case is not something I personally would suggest for use in a rough, drop potential work environment, but would work fine in school, office, home.

The media could not be loaded. Once installed correctly, the cover is perfect.But installing it is hard to figure out. First attempt failed as it felt like I was putting a model aircraft inside a bottle. Surely there is a better way.Next day, after sleeping over it, I douses the outer hard cover with boiling water to see if the outer cover would be pliant enough to allow the phone enclosed in the inner sleeve to ease in. No way Jose. The rubber buttons in the inner sleeve for power and volume were getting in the way. Slept over it again.Next time around, I found a way. Watch the video and you'll see how easy it really is when a caveman fashions some tools.

This is a nice cover for the money, a bit hard for me to get on the phone with my arthritis but once on it fits well. I would assume the SYONER [Shockproof] Hybrid Rubber will protect my phone if dropped but so far I haven't done so. It rubber keeps it from sliding around when setting it down on a table or stand which is good since my dogs easily knocked my last phone off the coffee table regularly.
