[Samsung Galaxy S10 Accessories] Diablo2424:
I just got my Galaxy S10 (work phone) and work did not provide me with a case for it. So I set out to find a case, however, since it's not my phone I wanted to make sure it wouldn't end up cracked, but I didn't want to spend $40+ for an Otterbox. I saw this case on Amazon when I searched for Galaxy S10 case, and figured I'd give it a try. Disclaimer: I was chosen by ArmailloTek to test out their case at their expense, but this is a %100 honest review, so please read it if you're interested in this case - also this was the first time I've been chose for something like that, so I was pretty excited! :victory: Here's the link to the case on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MLZY39Y/

The case arrived at my house earlier today, and I can honestly say, after installing it, it is a really solid case! It's a bit bulky, so don't expect your nice, shiny, sleek new Galaxy S10 to still be thin and sleek with this case on it, BUT, it is well protected! I personally just use a Wellci Clear Love Series Ultra (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CB9VQK7) for my OnePlus 6, personal phone, as I prefer my phones to stay thin and sleek, however, it does not offer any kind of protection on par with this ArmadilloTek case on my S10. The packaging is very similar to that of OtterBox, in clear plastic with military personnel on the front, and though it says "Military Grade Case" I don't stand by that claim for ANY case, as it's still a fragile piece of glass, aluminum and PCB's, it can't withstand a bullet :p.

The case goes on with a plastic bumper all the way around, then the rubber/plastic side and backing slips over that. I will say that it is very difficult to remove once the case is on, but then again, if you need a case this tough, you're probably not removing it often. It doesn't get in the way of the curved edges of the phone, though I don't use the edge features of the S10 anyway, they're just gimmicky to me. The case has a kickstand on the back, which is great for standing the phone up vertically or horizontally to watch YouTube and other content. The only downside to it is that it is a little tough to lift out of the back of the case without nails, as it does click down into place when stored away - which I love, so that it doesn't just fall out and end up breaking.

The volume/bixby/power buttons are very easy to press with tactile feedback through the case, and it doesn't interfere with the stock screen protector on my phone at all! Doesn't rub on it and make it lift or anything like that. By far my favorite features of this case are when you lay it on it's back, there are rubber feet (in the shape of fake hex head bolts) so the plastic back isn't rubbing on the hard surface getting scratched up; and if you lay it screen down, there is a pretty big gap between the screen of the phone and the table. See the pictures below as I tried to show the light coming through, as just the top and bottom edges (which are the case) touch the table, not the screen of the phone, and there's a few mm in between the screen and the table - I love that, as I like to put my phone face down sometimes, and now I don't have to worry about scratching that beautiful Samsung display. The case also has nice covers for the 3.5mm and USB-C ports that press in firmly, stay in place, and don't feel like they're going to tear off after being opened/closed repeatedly.

tl;dr

Overall I would rate it a 9.5/10 (the only reason it's not 10/10 is because of the kickstand issue for me, though that's a personal preference thing)

Pros:

Great protection at a great price

Keeps the screen off the table when face down

Rubber feet on back for face up placement on table

Useful kickstand for content consumption

Secure and precise fitment

Covers over the 3.5mm and USB-C ports

Tactile, easy to press Bixby/Volume/Power buttons

Useful side grips for holding the phone and not slipping

Cons:

Kickstand is tough to open from the back of the case, without nails, which is also a pro as it won't fall out from the back of the case and break unexpectedly :confused:

It is designed in Texas and the company claims to be all Texan, though the poor English in all documentation doesn't re-enforce that (also the packaging says, "Designed in Texas" "Made in China", just FYI, but then again what isn't nowadays
