I'm testing here the Case in color Satin Silver. The color accents are set by the frame, which is made of hard plastic. The mobile phone is first protected by a soft inner case, which secures good against bumps and as the front lip of the cell phone towers over without affecting the operation or the optics. The lateral edges are covered by a tough elastic band, which total a chic and its value and design arises. The hard plastic case mimics a matte metal surface that is away for my taste still far from a real polished metal surface. It can be seen already from a distance so that it is not for real metal. The reverse shows the soft shell, forming a perfectly flat surface. The back has a good grip and little prone to greasy fingerprints. Overall, the design is reminiscent of the distance to an iPhone, which is certainly of the designers so willed. The case provides a very good protection. The front is of course still vulnerable if they can be escaped by an enclosed display foil against scratches, but not against drop impact. The side buttons are made of metal and can be in my case (which is seen differently in some youtube videos) butterweich use - it therefore no difference with the original keys. The USB port can be used without problems. What annoyed me, however, that not everyone earphone jack can be pushed far enough. Only earphones with a narrow plastic rim can be used. This may mean that one has to start looking for a new earphones. This is the only weakness of this cases, I mean. The price is okay if you mitbedenkt that this case looks very high.
Pro: + High-quality appearance, chic design, price therefore justified + Hardly noticeable when worn, the delicate line of the S4 is largely preserved, but the appearance varied widely (which will appeal to many S4-owners ...) + The camera mode switch can be operated optimally
Cons: - Not everyone headphone is designed to push far enough
