i-Blason for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Case with Stand, [2 Front Frames] [Built-in Screen Protector] [Belt Clip Holster], Military-Grade Shockproof Rugged Phone Case for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, Black

I got this iBlason case in anticipation of a new S23, to finally replace my aged, wonderful S8 Active (I wouldn't need a case at all if Samsung kept the Active versions going). The packaging and instructions were good, but I had already seen video reviews that showed installation and recommend looking for those.I ordered a separate tempered glass screen protector, so I can't speak to the one included with the case. The case worked with the third party screen protector just fine.The case is great, plenty of protection. I was down to this case and a very similar competitors and the deciding factor that pushed me to this was the corner bump outs. Not for their protection, which they certainly achieve, but I figure they make it less likely to slip from your hand. The USB port cover and buttons are the only stress points, but I see no sign of them breaking. It feels chonky in the hand, which some may not like, but it's fine. Very satisfied with the case.One issue with it: the protection is so good that the haptic feedback is muffled. If it's on a table or in your hand you'll notice it, but I've had it in the clip on in a pocket and missed notifications.As for the clip, I think most people don't use it, but I wear my phone on my belt and needed an included clip or a separate case. The clip is surprisingly sturdy. It's plastic, so of course it could break, but I don't worry about the belt clip snapping off the rest of it, as some other plastic clips are prone to do. Like the case, it's sturdy. The belt clip is roomy, so on a thin 1.5" belt it can slide around, especially if running. It doesn't seem like it'll come off, but it does bang around on my hip. The worst part of the clip is that probably 90% of the time my shirt gets caught in it when re-holstering. Previously I had a leather holster with a flap, and the flap would block my shirt from getting caught in the case. It's the worst thing about the entire design, because if you pull the material caught in the holster, it can pop the phone out.Definitely a great case, it met all my expectations and more. Would buy again.

I have worked in cell phone sales in total of a decade. I have personally owned Otter boxes to knock off fotter boxes that looked identical to the name brand. They all fell short and didn't stand up to the price tag or lack there of. This case is sturdy, protective and seemless. It is for people who do not want to treat their phones like they are carrying around a 1,000 baby bird all day and don't want to waste time thinking about the location of their phone. The phone is gigantic but with this bulky case it really doesn't add to much more to the size. When I'm in my wheelchair or sitting in the car it does not dig into my side like otter boxes did or get hung up on the seat belt. This is a large protective case but doesn't feel like you own a brick. For this price you truly cannot beat it. Fits great with the self healing screen protectors I got for it off of Amazon as well.UPDATE:So this case is definitely durable as I have proven it with multiple drops. The severe flaw with this case is the kickstand when you try to have it vertical. I just replaced this case in August due to the kickstand giving out whole found is standing vertical and it just started doing it again. Of this wasn't the case I'd give it 5 stars but it definitely warrants a star loss.UPDATE TO THE UPDATE:CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AMAZING AND SENDS OUT FREE REPLACEMENT!

i bought this one as i thought it will be better than my CaseBorne V "ArmadelloTek" for my S23 ultra as the caseborne in same level with my full glue glass screen protector from both right and left sides, so it'll not protect it if falled on edge unlike the aramadellotek for s21 ultra which was higher from the four sides and that's why i bout same one for s23 ultra without deep look.when i found the i-balson case i saw reviews and read carefully about it and i thought the inner plastic frame will insure protection for both sides of the screen protector as it's wider. i found not. it's in same level and hight of the protector exactly as the caseborne with the following notes:1- grip is better in casebrone2- outer case material feels much more protective in casebrone.3- casebrone lining is thicker, softer to the back of cell phone.4- i-blason case came with non screen protector preinstalled inner plastic frame in the case and the screen protector included one is separate. i spent around 10 min to deattach the inner frame from the case. it's too hard to do it while in caseborne it's much easier to install or uninstall the inner frame. after installing the inner frame on cellphone it was very annoying to put both inside the case coreectly.5- i-blason case weight is lighter than caseborne.6- my screen protector is six weeks old on phone and i nstalled the caseborne case without any problems while installing the i-blason cost me three big bubbles "not very close to the edge, leading to change the expensive screen protecor "couldn't remove the bubbles by any mean.7- kick stand in i-blason is much better than caseborne which was very amazing in s21 ultra case but with s23 ultra's it's fragile and nned careful handling.8- the angle of cellphone when using kick stand in portrait mode with i-blason is way better than caseborne.9- i-blason case can be used for much longer time without pinky and ring fingers got numbness and my palm doesn't jurt while case corner in it unlike the caseborne which not comfy for long using in my case.10- bottuns in caseborne are much better in every aspect, feel & press. also the chrging port cover isn't easy to pull down to attach cable, while caseborne is much easier as it has a thicker handle bar.11- caseborne cavity for s-pen is more practical, protective and better design.actually, i reget buying caseborne case, and almost did for i-bladon but after about week of using i just think whatvwill happen when i had to replapce the screen protector as i'm almost sure it will be nightmare to take the frame out of case, replace protector and reinstall it. I believe it'll cause bubbles as last time but actually it's mush better in hand for a lob=ng period and can use my phone for extended time, pain free. i wanted armor and protective cases for all sides of screen but both let me down in side walls . but caseborne was more dissapointing.i'll keep using my i-blason but i may spend twice of its price for glass screen protectors. But as a price for almost full protection, i'll accept.If there was 3.5 stars i'd use it for i-blason, but here are 4 as it's not fair to choose 3.

Just received this case to replace a metal one i had this case seems solid and has a very beefy holster with it.Kickstand seems good for now that's where my last case failed not this brand overall for now looks great feels great.
