LG G5 Case, POETIC Affinity Series Premium

I received this POETIC Affinity Series Premium Case for the review and I am very impressed. Before I go on any further, let me tell you that I have used a lot of phones and the experience surely requires a lot of time spent on searching cases for those phones. So I am not easily impressed by them. I only used few POETIC cases in the past so to be honest, I wasn't expecting much. However, this case is AWESOME. Let me tell you why.

Design: A lot of LG G5 cases are quick made and you can hardly find manufactures that really spent some time to design its case or have design idea for phones that are not mainstream, aka Samsung or Apple. However, this POETIC case for LG G5 nails it. Its back design has awesome design that has clear back (85%) with raised TPU back material that will prevent from scratching clear backs. Usually other clear back cases are pretty at first, but gets easily scratched and becomes ugly, but not this case. Also, their X-Form design DNA really shines my Gold LG G5. It doesn't cover gold color of my LG G5 which I really love and still manages to have protection and design at the same time.

All holes are perfectly cut and I like how the charging port and earphone port is wide for different headset users . If you happen to use headset that has a bigger jack than usual earphone like me and find other cases too small, you will appreciate it. As you can see from the pictures I attached, majority of case is plastic, but you don't have to worry about it being slippery. All areas that you grip with your hands are all sturdy TPU material. Especially on the side are sort of wave looking pattern that prevents dropping from those with sweaty hands. The hole in back that has LG G5 home button is wide and you will not have problem putting your fingers for finger scan.

Protection: Four corners of the case has raised TPU material protecting from the drop on these corners and the material feels different than typical TPU material. It feels more sturdy and you can tell it is not a cheap material. This case will protect your phone 200% in the case of drop even when you drop to the 4 corners. Although I have to mention, in my opinion, the direction the wave pattern could be upward rather than downward to increase more traction but it is really non-issue.

Thickness: This is probably THE most important thing for me when I look for case because I like thin phone but what is the point of being thin if you put a thick case. However, I have to say this POETIC case is almost as thin as a simple TPU case I have been using recently and it does not feel any thicker at all in my hands. See pictures of very simple TPU case, POETIC actually looks thinner.

Button: LG G5 has only two buttons, volume-up and volume-down and they are VERY responsive.

I tried to find a flaw of this case, but could not find any except that wave pattern could be better if it was in opposite direction, but that is my personal preference. Combining plastic and TPU material in a design that really stands out from other cases (in which I have 3), POETIC will be my choice from now going forward. Anyone with pretty design, protection in mind will love this case.
