After a long research on high-quality covers for my Grade 4 I came again and again to the manufacturer Spigen. Must be something to it, I thought to myself and chose the model "Capsule". ====== Packing: "Oh no," I thought to myself: a blister! How I hate these things but as an unpacking without deeper cuts and abrasions is normally almost impossible! BUT: In this case, very well resolved, as can open the package and you get to the content, without the finger accidentally amputating itself - TOP! ===== Appearance: From the first touch evident: even though it is "only" is a silicone case she seems very high to provide protection! Despite the relatively thin walls is very rigid; the corners are all somewhat thicker in order to guarantee good impact protection. On the insides of the corners ever there is a small recess which provides an air cushion and promises an even better damping of external force influences. However, whether this brings something I would not have to try. Small drawback: all-round run fine Kunststoffgrate which feel not very good; this is primarily an optical problem - I think that goes a little better! Very good I think the neutral smell of the envelope. Cheap models exude often a pungent smell of mold release agents - this smells to ... absolutely nothing! ===== Application: The fit of the envelope is outstanding! All cut-outs are exactly where they should be! All microphones and connections are easily accessible. The S-Pen is easily accessible. Although the shell on the front side is a little, does not affect the function of the fingerprint scanner. Only the recess for the headset could cause problems: it is relatively small, that is, with slightly thicker headphone plugs could not possibly sit quite accurately. ===== Handling: Relative to the size of devices carrying the shell hardly: per page I appreciate good 2mm more. Thinner cases of equivalent effect should there be hardly! On the back there is a very fine "+" is shaped pattern that feels great and extremely safe, non-slip grip offers. Through the shell smartphone is absolutely flat on the table and does not wobble during operation. A reduction in the quality of reception I can not determine.
CONCLUSION: I can Spigen CAPSULE highly recommend and will probably revert to this manufacturer also for my next smartphone!
