Ringke Slim case in daily use - how does it perform?

When you consider buying a protective case, do you think about whether it actually meets the manufacturer's claims? Does it actually fulfill the role of aesthetics and protection of the smartphone? Well, because how can such a small amount of plastic effectively protect the device? For several weeks I have had the pleasure of testing the Ringke Slim case. It is one of the slimmer and more resistant smartphone cases of its kind, but like any product it has its advantages and disadvantages, which I am about to outline.

Comfort of use

The comfort of using a smartphone equipped with Ringke Slim undoubtedly improves, because the device is not so slippery and perfectly adapts to the shape of the hand so that it lies in the hand more stable. An important indicator here is the fact that the phone so far during use has not once slipped out of my hand, although with other cases it happened notoriously, because I have too small a hand to handle my device. Moreover, exactly as the manufacturer assures, the case is very nice to the touch.

As for the application of the case to the smartphone, the matter is simple. Thanks to the notched corners, we prevent possible cracks caused by stress when applying or removing the case. You don't have to use extraordinary force to put it on or take it off, which is clearly a plus.

Access to the keys and sockets is exposed. You may or may not like this, it is a completely personal issue. There are two sides to the coin. On the one hand, it's nice, because the buttons are more intuitive, easier to feel, but on the other hand, this part is much more vulnerable to damage, due to the cutouts.

Appearance

As soon as I saw this case I decided that I had to be its owner. My special attention was drawn to the variant with a beautiful color - Rose Gold. Classic, elegant case, and on top of that in such a color.... What to want more? After applying the case, the iPhone looked great, and I can say that I was enchanted with it. Ringke Slim is a relatively minimalist product. It has a uniform color, only in the lower right corner you will find the manufacturer's logo.

After a few weeks of use, I also noticed quite a few scratches on the case. They must have formed with normal daily use, for example, when storing the iPhone in a bag, or several falls from a small height. The fact is that this is a feature of the material used and the large majority are only visible in the right light, but the case itself no longer looks as beautiful as it did at the beginning.

Protection

The phone secured in this very case fell several times to me from the couch or table. Seemingly small distances, but as you know, and such a fall can cause a lot of damage. As I wrote earlier , the case has already collected some scratches, but there is not a single dent or crack - which pleases me immensely, and my smartphone thanks to Ringke Slim remained intact.

I freely admit that when applying this case, after using several other, much more armored ones, I thought "uuuuuuu, it's going to be lousy, I see it poorly" in terms of protection. It cancels out absolutely everything! Despite its slim appearance, my iPhone is in truth solidly protected.

Summary and price

Ringke Slim's regular price is $49 (in our store they are often lower), which I think is a good price for this product. You get a solid level of protection and a sleek, feminine look. At this price it would be hard to find something as slim, resistant, giving similar comfort of use, perfectly fitted to the shape of the device, and to please the eye with such a color. The only drawback is that the scratch resistance level is too low - here the manufacturer could improve its product.
