EliteCase Armor Triple Layer Case with Screen Protector for iPhone 6S - Gunmetal

I love this case! I have had it for 5 months now and it is working wonderfully. It is an excellent case for the price. I previously had a speck case (which I also loved), but I decided to go with a cheaper option this time around.Look: The EliteCase I bought is a metallic gray and black. The black trim of the rubbery insulation is a good look next to the metallic-gray hardshell. No bells or whistles, but that wasn't what I was looking for.Function: I have loved the performance of this case. I have dropped it multiple times from various heights and the case keeps on going. The rubbery insulation has broken the fall well and I haven't cracked or chipped my phone yet. I like that the rubber sticks out beyond my screen so if I turn it on it's screen, it rests on the rubber and not the screen. With other cases I have had problems with lint getting down the lightning port but the EliteCase has an offset in the port openings that catches the lint before it goes down the hole. I am not sure if that was the intent behind the design, but I love it!Comparison: I view my EliteCase in the same category as my Speck case and a lot cheaper. Performs just as well with a fraction of the price. When I buy a phone case again, I will definitely keep EliteCase in my options.

UPDATED 11.2.16 - Having issues with buttons, see #3 under Bad Stuff below! Dropped rating as well.UPDATED 11.17.16 - Received replacement, because of button issues. Issue resolved!I purchased this case for my iPhone 6S. I set my expectations low for the price. I just wanted something that would protect the corners and give me a little front glass protection with a raised edge. Here are my impressions:GOOD STUFF:1. The case seems tough, the plastic is thick and seems strong on the corners.2. There's a little raised bit on the back at each corner that keeps the plastic from getting easily scratched with the phone sitting on its back.3. The front edge is raised all the way around the device so that provides some front glass protection when laying face down.4. This is a 2-piece case. Its not that hard to put on, the rubber is flexible and easily goes on and off. When you snap on the plastic backing that comes around the sides, it becomes a very rigid and solid case.BAD STUFF:1. This is NOT a super heavy duty, drop it from 10 feet off the ground, run over it with a car, lose it in a creek case. It's basic but sturdier and tougher than most at this price. (I have purchased dozens being in Corporate IT.)2. This "triple layer case" is 3 pieces in that it also happens to include a screen protector. This is NOT a ballistic type, hard glass screen protector. If it was, this wouldn't be ~ $12. The screen protector is film type, and it's a little hard to line up because of the curved edges of the glass. I tried to get it to line up 2 or 3 times, taking it off and repositioning each time. This meant I ended up getting finger prints and dust under the film creating bubbles. This is a big pain in the rear. Also, this kind of film can protect the front glass from wear and scratches, but not drops or heavy scrapes.RESOLVED-> 3. ADDED THIS: I have come to experience the fact that the volume buttons and the power button are pretty much useless using this case. I have to push so hard to activate the button beneath the case, I almost want to throw the case away and not use it until I can get another one. I am dropping my rating down because of this. Frustrating. I was contacted by Elitecase to comment on my product, explained issue with buttons, they sent me a brand new case. After receiving it, I found the issue with the buttons was not present on the new case. NOW, the case is usable and good protection for my iPhone 6s. Thanks!BOTTOM LINE:Good case for the money, tougher than most at this price. The screen protector is useless, unless you just don't care about your screen. I had this 2 days and noticed scratches on the screen protector. At end of day of having this set, I ordered a Tech Armor Ballistic glass screen protector (Pkg of 2)  iPhone 6 Glass Screen Protector, Tech Armor Premium Ballistic Glass Apple iPhone 6S / iPhone 6 (4.7-inch) Screen Protectors [2 ] These are great screen protectors and have used them quite a bit over the years on various phones with good luck when the phone was dropped on the face. It also protects against all scratches and is a much smoother and more sensitive screen protector.

This appears to be a good solid case. I hope to not have to find out just how well it protects the phone, but I suspect it will survive most light falls. The two stars are due to the many rough edges which make it an uncomfortable case if you text or surf frequently, and for what I perceive to be misleading advertising on the screen protector and actual quality of the screen protector. The screen protector was advertised as being impact resistant and a $10 value. Sounds exactly like a tempered glass style protector to me, but I received the old style flimsy clear paper/plastic film style stick on SCRATCH protector. I even Googled "TFT screen protector before ordering and I just saw a bunch of ads and articles for the temepered glass style. I guess I take partial blame for not doing more research before spending $15, but I wouldn't imagine somebody would describe this flimsy plastic film as a $10 value and impact resistant. It did protect my screen when I dropped a crumb on it the other day, so there you go I guess....The case seems durable (although uncomfortable) and will probably protect the back and sides of your phone. Don't put too much faith in the screen protector FILM. If you look closely at the pictures, the screen protector is considerably thicker than this flimsy plastic film cover that they send out, yet another reason I was sure that I was getting a tempered glass screen protector.Customer service was great regarding checking up post sale and offering a full refund. But they did not accept blame for the misleading advertising and I didn't see the point in returning a $15 item that would've cost me 33% in shipping costs.I've already ordered a true impact resistant screen protector, for less than $10 actually.If you're looking for a slimmer case with goid protection, this might work for you. I am disappointed based on the above reasons.

Great combination of strength, style and sleekness. I did crack the case when taking off to apply a screen protector, but received a replacement case within two days. I sent a picture and simple email to customer service and they sent a new case immediately. They did not ask for the original case and sent a new one, no questions. It may have been my own fault by not being careful taking out the rubber insert, but happy they stand behind their product. Would definitely recommend.
