Samsung Diamond+ Rugged Gadget Case Titan

The media could not be loaded. I always go with a Samsung case. I just like that the phone recognises it. This is not as sturdy and protective as my Samsung clear view case was on my S8 plus but I look after my phones anyway. Samsung definitely compromised on quality with this one. I’m not planning to drop the phone while hanging out of a window 10 stories high. If that sort of protection you are looking for, this case is not for you. It is substantial enough to protect from dropping it on a carpeted floor. I haven’t dropped my phone yet to test this though. The case is a nice fit, doesn’t interfere with my film screen protector. No problem removing the stylus. First I was worried about the notification window not having any cover, only protected by the screen protector, but so far I have no scratches, the camera lenses are sunken in. The side buttons are slightly hard to press. I have to say those feel gimmicky and cheap plastic looking. It’s been on my phone for about a month. Took some time to get use to the little window to turn off my alarms in the morning when I can’t see a thing but mastered it at the end. My only concern is regarding the colour. I wonder how long it will stay cream.

Every time I end up with a new phone I go through the usual process of buying cases and returning any that aren't suitable.I went straight to the usual suspects, the Spigen Tough Armour was too slippery for the size of phone, the UAG (can't remember the case name, just that it cost me £60!) was bulky but didn't offer protection where it's needed, though I kept it as it looks nice, I tried around 20 cases and have ended up with the UAG, Titan and a Mous case which I have as my classy choice for it's sleek design which makes the phone feel so much smaller.So why have I stuck with this case as a "daily"? Well it has great grip on the sides, has a lanyard loop, the sides come up above the screen curve protecting it in a way that usually only an Otter box defender would for a curved screen phone.As a bonus the attachments are great, well one is, the card holder is totally pointless. The one that provides function as a stand though is brilliant, you can hold it like a mug of coffee if your hands are full, use it to hook your fingers through while holding or taking photos for extra security against drops.For the times I have dropped it the phone has been protected, I strongly feel the extra screen protection around the sides has kept it from having to go in for repair.One of the cheapest cases out there for this phone and if you can tolerate the added bulk and having to remove the attachments while charging (it causes the battery to warm up faster so charge speed slows down, removing it allows heat during charge to dissipate more readily).It's the surprise package of the cases I tried, I expected it to sit in my collection not getting used much but I've settled on it as the best for daily use now and only change when I need to use my gimbal or am going out somewhere and want the class of the walnut backed Mous to go with the occasion. Not sure how it will handle the summer in terms of how much the case causes things to heat up, hopefully it will be ok though. I'll revise the review if it ends up a problem.

Fits like a glove and the leather finish is really nice. It's not the slimmest case I've used, however the very slim ones don't have the soft lining so your phone ends up scratched due to dust etc getting inside. This one is still pretty slim and sleek though amd should keep the phone in good condition. The side buttons are really good, just like using no case. Camera lenses fit nicely, and actually better with the case than without (without, the lenses stick out so can't lay the phone flat, they side nicely inside the case). Worth the money I'd say.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased the Smart View Wallet Cover in Khaki for my Green S23 Ultra, and I will agree that it is a great investment. It is made of a sturdy material, which is soft to the touch, and features a card holder which can comfortably store one card (you can store two cards, but it may affect the holder/cause the case to not close properly). One thing I don't like about the case is that it is a magnet for fingerprints, however I don't find this particularly troublesome.The Smart View window is chic and informative, it provides you an access to your notifications without having to open your phone, and the Always On Display ensures you can see the time at all times. Moreover, you can answer, decline or end calls directly from the window. However, you are limited in terms of functionalities from the window, and many apps/notifications will require you to open the phone cover and use the main cover.As for the camera lenses, the case is raised in that area which provides ample protection from scratching the lenses if for example the device is on a desk or table etc, so I have not found a need to apply camera lens protectors. In addition, there is a raised lip over the main screen, so it will provide ample coverage against scrapes and scratches, though I would recommend applying a plastic screen protector, as it will provide some sort of protection while not adding to the bulk of the already bulky phone and case, as a tempered glass protector would.If you are an individual who primarily stores their phone in their pocket, then I would suggest you take a look at alternatives as this is not a lightweight case and can cause difficulties especially if you are a person who regularly keeps their phone in their pocket. However, if you primarily keep your phone in your bag or backpack, then you shouldn't need to worry about the bulk of this case.This case is not perfect but I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for convenience and stylishness in a compact offering.

Bargain price.

Looks great new but awful quality. The case has started to fall apart after only 2 months of use and looks damaged. The card slot is so tight that it's difficult to get a card in and out of, meaning the finishing on the material has come off and the faux leather has started to fray. Would not recommend.
