i-Blason Armorbox for Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Case MagSafe with Camera Cover Stand [Support Wireless Charger] 360 Full-Body Case with Screen Protector & Kickstand Phone Case for S24 Ultra, Black

I've been looking for some type of lens cap for my last 3 or 4 phone cameras, for many years. So, I found this case with a lens cap built in and really wanted to like it. If you don't use wireless charging, it is a really good case. It's quite rugged with the hardshell and bumpers, the built-in screen cover is sensitive, but not over sensitive and it looks good. Of course, I bought it for the lens cap and that works great. The problem I'm having is that I've got about $100 invested in 5 wireless charging kickstands (1 for practically every room) that worked great with my last several phones, but none of them work now that I have this case; the 4 corners of this case stick out like bumpers, which is great protection for drops, but it offsets the wirelss charge pad and my kickstands don't charge my phone anymore. If I didn't have to go shopping for new, specialty charging kickstands compatible with this case, it'd be a 5-star case for me.I updated this to 5 stars when I figured out this case enables magnetic wireless charging. As far as I know, that's a feature Apple builds into their phones but Samsung does not.I've gotten a couple magnetic charging kickstands that are faster and more stable than standard wireless charging, not allowing my phone to get bumped off the kickstand. I also got a couple magnetic battery banks that just stick to the back of my phone now. It's tough to pay for upgrades, but magnetic wireless charging really is better than standard wireless charging. I'm really glad I got this case. I've dropped it from about 6 feet a few times and not a scratch on it

There really is no better case in this price range. The fit is perfect, and every surface is protected. Compatible with any wireless charger I've tried. It looks sharp.Installation is super easy. Follow the simple, commonsense instructions EXACTLY, and it literally takes seconds. I personally chose to wear nitrile gloves and use a lint-free cloth to be sure of a clean fit.I keep seeing concerns about the print reader, but honestly, it just comes down to handling.1)Make sure every surface is as clean and dry as humanly possible.2) DO NO TOUCH the sensor medium on the phone case, or the sensor on your phone, as you install the case.3) That's it.THAT SAID: My dad got this case, and was a little intimidated to install it based on my warnings and installation videos. Based on a deep scratch on one panel and what he explained went wrong trying to install it, I am pretty sure he received a returned unit. (I don't believe the company intentionally deceived him, but things happen.) There should be protective film on each side of the front panel, AND AN ADDITIONAL sticker on the INSIDE that protects the print reader medium, to be removed IMMEDIATELY before applying the front of the case to your immaculately clean phone.DO NOT TOUCH THE GEL SPOT, EVER.IF THE PROTECTIVE STICKER IS NOT THERE, STOP AND RETURN YOUR CASE. My dad's protective films were flipped to the wrong sides, which confused him, and he didn't call me until after he'd touched the medium and tried to clean it with alcohol and a cotton swab. The gel medium cannot be recovered once it's been contaminated.Follow the instructions exactly, and you will be very happy with this case.It is extremely sturdy without being heavy or awkward. This level of protection does add a little bulk, which I like for grippy handling, and the rubberized frame reduces sliding. A lot of two-piece cases seem to just add a layer of obstruction to touch sensitivity, and the case just gets scratched up instead of the screen. I just pulled my i-Blason off of my full-time Note 8, and the case is still perfectly clear and scratch-free, only slightly less glossy on the outside surface from daily rough handling.The kickstand feature is not a life-changer, but it will get you by on a flat, stable surface. I've certainly had worse.While other cases have been gifted to me, and I've occasionally needed a special-purpose case over the years, this is the brand and style I have relied on for my last three phones, and I can't recommend it enough.Update: I do recommend that you either hang onto the protective film for your thumbprint dot or plan for something similar in case you need to remove your case for any reason. If it comes in contact with anything (ie: lint or cleaning agents), there's a solid chance you're not going to get its functionality back.

I have always been a huge Otterbox Defender fan, but they seem to stretch out over time and I have had to replace every one. Granted each lasted a couple years and they were replaced for free, but it's still a pain and disappointing. Plus Otterbox cases were/are getting crazy pricey, comparatively.So enough about Otterbox. Bottom line was, I was in need of a case for my new phone and I was done with Otterbox, so I started researching options...and there are a LOT of options for protective cases out there...holy moly. I did quite a bit of reasearch, read reviews and decided to give this case a shot (to be honest, this company wasn't even on my radar when I started looking). So far, I am beyond impressed. Because of how precise it fits together, it took a little effort to separate the case and screen protector (I definitely recommend starting where the arrow points). Once I got it separated, my new phone fit perfectly. I LOVE that the case comes with a built in screen protector. There is a small black circle in the lower middle for fingerprint detection. In spite of it being visible at certain angles when the screen is off, it doesn't interfere with the screen at all when its active. The metal case doesn't impede wireless charging on my bedside pad or in my car. As a matter of fact it seems to be less fickle about how it rests on the pad than any of my previous cases. Overall the case feels amazingly sturdy and well made. Be aware that there is a metal flap covering the camera lenses that obviously has to be opened before you can use your camera. Since I'm not an influencer or a paparazzi, it doesn't bother me taking the extra step before I can use the camera.The one possible concern is how tightly the flap that covers the charging port fits. It feels like it may eventually wear out or break, but that is pure speculation on my part. Regardless, I would recommend this case to anyone looking for a great protective case. BTW, I have a Galaxy S24 Ultra...
