Tech Armor Apple iPhone 5S BLACK/SLATE EdgeProtect PC/TPU Bumper Case - Frustration Free Packaging

I tried to upload my power button modification video, but Amazon said it was too big so here's the YouTube link for it: http://youtu.be/4wl9eLiCryEUpdate: to make the power / lock button REALLY EASY to click, just cut slits into the rubber around the button w/ an Exact-O-knife. Make the slits along the long sides of the button.As mentioned an many other reviews, yes, the power / lock button is hard to press. I'm hoping this will get worked in a bit over time.My only other complaint would be the openings at the bottom. The one around the lightning port is too small to use with a 30 pin adapter, and there is VERY little clearance around the headphone jack so only very small headphone connectors work. I prefer the cases that have a large opening at the bottom for these reasons.All that being said it is still a very nice case. Well made and a fantastic fit. I'll likely be keeping this case unless I come across another bumper that is even lower profile, but that seems unlikely. So far this bumper adds less bulk to the phone than any decent case I've found (there are some other, thinner bumpers I've found, but the quality was no where near this good and fitment was terrible).

I'm using this on my iPhone 5s. I love the look and feel. It fits tight and firm - perfect. It took me a bit, but I realized that this type of case is really all you need to protect your iPhone if dropped. It covers all corners and the edges. Slightly harder to turn the power off and volume, but the look, feel, and confidence in protecting your phone makes it worth it. Looks awesome too!

This is a solid, sexy looking addition for your already sexy looking iPhone. It does its job and protects your iphone for the majority of drops (which occur with one of the edges hiting first). That being said there are two things I dislike about it. One, I had to bore out the headphone port (with a dremel tool) to fit a pretty low profile aux cable in it and second, the black rubber outer part is starting to separate from the hard plastic middle part along the bottom. Given that this thing was less than $10 to get to my door, I cant really complain, I am still using it at this moment as I write this review, but I cannot give it 5/5 stars cause of the aforementioned reasons. Overall though, I have been very content with this bumper.

Offers good protection and fits well, but it is extremely difficult to press down the volume and power buttons.

The material of the case is great but the only problem is that the lock button is too stiff and the case is not screen protector friendly it was causing damage to my screen protector making it pealing off at the sides and corner everywhere. Would be better with two versions one screen protector friendly and one for people who dont use screen protectors.

I purchased this bumper case because I hate full cases for phones. I've always been very careful with my phone, and even though I had my iPhone 4S caseless its whole life and didn't have issues, I wanted to have a bit of protection for my 5s. It does its job well, and installation is easy. It just pops on snugly.The only issue I have with the bumper is that it makes the button feel very mushy, and it's quite difficult to feel whether or not you pressed a button or not; and even though it is somewhat to be expected as there is now a layer of rubber in between the button and my finger, I have experienced cases that still allow for more tactile button feedback. This goes for both the volume buttons and the sleep/wake button.It doesn't quite bother me enough to bother purchasing a different bumper, but it's worth noting that it is kind of an issue.

It is really great when it comes to look and the protection. The 3 stars are because of the power socket hole. I had to use a small file to open it little bigger to use with the non-apple cable. Many other bumpers support non-apple cables.I didn't try all the non-apple certified cables in the market. My experience is based on the few cables I tried.Update 5/Aug/2014: After my first review, Tech Armor contacted me. They stood by their commitment and sent the latest version. The new version of the bumper fits the cable I had, and I believe it will fit most cables. The cutout for the power is bigger now. Plus, I found the new bumper is bit flexible than the older version. It is easy to put in, but i don't mean it will slip out easily. You need to put some pressure to put it on your phone and take it off.

I've been a long-time user of minimalist bumper cases (show off that beautiful iPhone body!). Most are fairly flimsy and tend to eventually separate between the rubber and the hard plastic portions, making them flimsy and prone to falling off. The EdgeProtect is the tightest fit I've ever seen (I couldn't get it to come off at all for about 3 months). Fantastically secure and a great overall look. Two slight 'issue' of note:1. The holes for the audio jack and Lightening port are only large enough for Apple-slim accessories. Anything larger will NOT fit.2. The power button is hard to press due to the thick rubber used to cover it (volume works fine). A fair trade in my opinion.

Amazing case! Fits perfectly, buttons are a bit stuff but you'll get use to it really quick. Also looks great

It's not bad for a bumper case, and for those people who said the power button was stiff.I do think it is stiff AT FIRST! over a few days and using the power button occasionally, it does become easier to use.The access of volume rocker and silent button is not bad at all. For some people, the silent switch may feel a bit too deep, but I think it's in a good position.It also looks fantastic.

My tech Armoir bump bar got delivered today. Good quality and fits perfectly fine. Only minor issue is that the buttons (volume, power) are a little stiff and you need to press a little hard on it. I am this will get better once it is in use and ease up eventually.

Although the product looks sleek, once I put on my iphone, the power button on the top of the cover is so rigidly made that I have to use both hands just to press the button, its impossible to press with a single fingerIts ridiculously painful and I don't know how it was designed originally. Very unsatisfied with the quality of the product.

Good bumper, but buttons are hard to press.
