These are a transparent bowl for the back of the S4, which also protects the sides and front edges. Although other reviewers have had different experiences: For me, the shell fits like a glove and was easy to install in 2 seconds. Unsightly bubbles have so far also not made with me. A light protection for the display is given by the fact that the casing front about half a millimeter survives so that the smartphone is protected when depositing (also on the front). Nevertheless, I recommend an additional screen protection by a suitable foil. This protection for the back and edges protect to some extent, the display because it is about the edges. Along with a screen protector, this is a visually inconspicuous and good all-round protection for everyday life of the smartphone in your pocket and the drop for me.
Benefits:
- Is mounted in seconds
- Clings to so that it hardly affects the sleek design of the S4
- Is transparent and thus friendly for the overall appearance
- Protects against drops (also protection of the display shelf, but protector recommended)
- Cut-outs on the camera lens, the speakers and the power supply are accurately
Disadvantage:
- In my version, the shell on the side is so thick that the on-off button and the volume control are difficult to use (fingernail must be partially removed to help)
My conclusion: This protection for the Galaxy S4 is perfectly adequate for everyday use. It protects the back of the phone as well as the sides and front edges well. Along with the film, the smartphone is visually discreet protected by this shell of silicone in my experience, without compromising the sleek design of the phone. The material is sturdy and unobtrusive. The smartphone is also in this bowl well in the hand (even some slip protection). The price of this product is clearly in order. Because of the somewhat difficult accessibility to the On-Off switch and the speaker controls I subtract a star. Nevertheless, good four star.
