[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
NOTE: I received one of these free in exchange for doing a review.

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Please note the photos I've uploaded. This is a VERY strong case which is made of two pieces, completely covering the phone. DO NOT have a screen protector on your phone when you use this case as the front of the case already has a screen protector built in. If you want the ultimate in protection for your phone, then this is it! The front first goes onto the phone and snaps on with a strong "click". I have read other reviews of this case where the reviewer left a screen protector on his phone and that causes not only for the S-Pen to not work as well but also caused problems in making the front case fit properly on the phone - the fantastic tight tolerances on this case are THAT GOOD! Talking about the screen protector, it is a very strong material which does not at all seem to be a 'finger print magnet'. Also you will note from the pictures I submitted that the tolerances of the cutouts in the screen protector for the pone speaker and home button are the exact right size and line up perfectly. Getting back to putting the case on the phone - once the front is on, then you put the back onto the phone, and the tolerances are so tight with the way the front and the back of the case fit together that you will certainly have some difficulty getting this case on and off of the phone. (You will note this is primarily because of the bottom of the phone case - see the photo with the back and front of the phone case separated but held next to each other.) However, since this case is meant to be #1 protective for this phone, to meet that end it is purposely built with the tight tolerances.

My guess is you can throw this case against a brick wall pretty hard and your phone will not break (however I did not have the guts to try that)!

Going through the remaining photos, you will note the case fits the phone extremely well. Not only is there enough coverage so that the front of the phone - as well as the back camera lens - will not touch anything if the phone is laid down on a flat surface, but the case on the front comes very close to the edge of the display, which is very well protected with the built-in screen protector. I have also read reviews of other thick protective cases where the case was so thick that sometimes a shadow would appear in photos taken by the phone because the camera lens is so deep inside of the case - but that is not the case here (no pun intended). My photos also show the holes for the charging port and S-Pen etc. The ports are covered by included 'plugs' which are part of the case and extremely well designed with ridges built in so that after extended use they should never fall open. The only downside I have found from these 'plugs' are that the S-Pen is actually not very easy to retrieve out of the phone because it is pretty deep and hard to reach. Also, if you have some kind of a plug for the power or the audio that do not fit, then you would not be able to make those holes larger without damaging the capability of the port covers. However, all the plugs and audio cables I have fit with no problem. There is also a loop on the case on one corner which I would prefer not to have, but it is strong rubber material so it could be carefully cut off with a sharp knife and nobody would ever know it was there. Better to have the option of having it or not!

The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is the kickstand on the back is metal, and because of that (I think that would be the only reason) the wireless charging will not work. I really wanted to give this 5 stars but in all honesty because of the wireless charging not working I couldn't do it. So please take this review as 4+ or 4.5 stars! In any event, if you want your previous phone to last forever - then this would be your case!
