The Samsung Galaxy S5 is in the standard version, on the one hand relatively thin and beautiful to look at, but it is also slippery in hand and gives the impression that it can quickly fall times. In addition, the camera looks a little out of the housing. So should establish a kind of protective shell that makes the smartphone less slippery and brushing so strong on the back of the camera is no longer protrudes. Furthermore, was the desire that the shell comprises the sides of the S5 as large as possible in order to protect the frame in case of a fall. The evaluated here Cover fulfills these wishes as far as possible. The S5 is therefore very safe in their hands, the camera is slightly recessed so they can not scratch, if the device is located for example on a table and is moved around. The edge protection is added to 70%; it could be especially the top and bottom slightly more pronounced. The design is a matter of taste, looks to me complacent. The plastic is odorless. Compared to the also offered remarks in glitter look silver and black can be the smartphone with this protective cover slide easily in wallets and pull it out again, which is quite difficult in the glitter look versions due to the rough Außemfläche the protective sheath. For durability especially this protective cover in carbon look, I can not say anything because I have them too short. However, we have the same casing in silver glitter look since last year in use, no wear shows for months, despite intensive use of smartphones. This case is very functional and definitely a value-for-Tip.
