i-Blason Ares Full-Body Rugged Clear Bumper Case for iPhone Xs Max 2018 Release, Blue, 6.5"

This is my second I-blason case. One of my favorites. Keeps the phone very well protected, and don’t have any issues with it. Wireless charging works perfect through the case. Update: A year later, still can’t say anything bad about it. This case has protected my phone against 3’ drops on concrete, and I’ve handled it after handling carburetor cleaner and gasoline. Neither have caused any damage to the phone or case. I have to say, it’s pretty impressive and worth every penny. Checking in again, 2 years later and about to get a new phone. The case still has held up very well, and only has a few minor scratches in the screen protector. The cover for the charging port has fallen off but it’s really not a big deal. The phone is still in mint condition with the case removed, so it has performed very well over the last few years. I plan to buy another I-blason case for my new phone.

I was sick one evening but still had to feed my family. I took some medication, which left me very drowsy, prepared dinner, put it in the oven at 400 degrees set a timer for 20 minutes, and went to lay down. When the timer went off, I took the food out of the oven, only to find my phone in the oven with the food. My husband took the phone outside because I was terrified that the phone would explode. Needless to say, the phone was fine, still fully functioned after it cooled down. It was a little yellow around the edges of the screen, so I got a new phone. I thank the case for protecting the phone against the heat. It was a little melted and I did purchase a new case, but the case withheld and did its job. Furthermore, I've dropped the phone many times. You know when you drop it, and it lands flat on the screen, and you are afraid to flip it over because you know for sure this time it has shattered? Or when you drop it and it lands on the corner and then bounces to the next corner, and then cartwheels away from you. I've had many of those experiences and it has kept my phone in tip-top shape. Today, it fell down the side of the couch without my knowledge. I went to recline and heard a terrible sound. Well, turns out my phone was stuck in the mechanics of the couch. Don't worry, the phone is fine, but the case is scratched. I was looking around Amazon for a cutesy one, with maybe some glitter, or some flowing liquid, but then came to my senses. I'm too clumsy for a cutesy case (not that this one is ugly). As you can imagine, I would definitely recommend this case. This will be my 4th time purchasing this case in the time that I've had this model. In my defense, one of those purchases was for my husband. :)

Honestly, this is the only company I will ever use to protect my phones. I bought the case before I bought the phone. The XS Max is the 1st completely brand new phone I've owned. It's also the most expensive. So much that I was protecting it like it was my child lol. Case was really easy to install and I loved that there was plastic film protecting both sides of both covers. Once on,I felt a huge relief knowing my phone was protected. This was proven over the course of several weeks and more than a few drops. Screen protector is plastic but it never popped out or ripped. Case & rubber is pretty thick but doesn't add a ton of weight. Only downside is no stand. Unfortunately my phone was stolen after less than a month but I have a replacement & a new i-blason "armored" case with stand, because they finally had the color I wanted in stock. Great case, the same price of what I tend to spend when ordering from my fav burger joint. I will admit $20+ is a bit steep considering I'm a college student. Worth the money though.

Got it on time and package was fine. Only problem is it comes with Zero instructions. Only clue they give you is at the bottom of the product box which has a website address that does not work and just shows you an error message... I had to youtube it, but first you gotta know the case model you purchased or it will take some time. Company is so cheap they can't afford to put a tiny sheet of paper with installation instructions with the product... *I'll save you some trouble, get a coin (penny or dime) and use it on the bottom right hand corner where you see a small slot between the plastic and rubber material and pop it open, then gradually go around the case to remove the front from the back piece. Clean your phone screen, both outer sides of the case, then place the front piece to your phone first and gradually go around popping on the back piece. I got the Ares Full-Body Rugged in gold for an iPhone Xs Max, so far it seems fine. Other note is, the gold is not as shiny as portrayed in the pictures, it's more of a bronze or copper look. (Would Purchase Again) Wu.

I’m going to preface this review with the fact that I think a case should include a screen protector, period. That’s really the most vulnerable part of your phone. I bought this case after getting my iPhone XS Max. I was shocked that Otterbox no longer provides a screen protector for its venerable Defender series. Come on, Otterbox. You’re selling protection for a phone that costs as much as a laptop, and no screen protector??? Yeah yeah, you can get a separate piece of glass but I didn’t want to have to go through that entire process of doing all the steps to apply the glass to your screen and then add the case. This case is made up of two parts. A smaller piece made up of the screen protector and some rigid plastic frame that the screen protector is attached to. And a larger more rubberized frame that snaps over the screen protector frame that has a cutout for the camera and a large clear plastic panel to show off your Apple logo. The phone fits snugly against the screen protector frame and then you fit the larger frame over it to protect the back. It’s pretty lightweight and has a reasonably slim for factor (as if that really matters too much for the iPhone XS Max). I’ve drop my phone a few times. No damage. It offers pretty good protection and some ease of mind. I’m sure I’m not going to be able to run my car over it like someone I know did with an Otterbox Defender in its tank-like heyday. The buttons and cutouts seem to match up pretty well. And you know what? I like the convenience and opening up my case. Spritz some lens cleaner over my phone and the case and have a nice clean case rather than have sticky crap wedge under the margins of your “ballistic glass”. I have Apple Care Plus. Thank goodness I had to only fork out $99 to get a replacement iPhone XSMax when I totally crushed the Gorilla Glass. Was it with this case? No. It was with a case that I had to apply the ballistic glass screen protector. This case has never let me down.

For the price this case is....wow a real steal!! It is slim for starters and not bulky like other cases which is something I absolutely love!!! The case also has small covers for the port for the charger and over the mute button that’s over the volume button!! Keeps out dirt as well as prevents you from accidentally silencing your phone. Really love that! I also like that there’s a cover to go over the front of your phone and that’s hard to find with most cases! You usually have to buy a screen protector that cost $20 and up. **Two month Update** I have dropped my phone in this case and I’ve got to say this case is worth 10 stars!!!!!!!!!!! I was getting out of my car and the phone was in my lap and fell on the asphalt...perfect! Was heading into a client’s garage and it dropped on the concrete floor...perfect!

Okay, when i first got this case i slightly hated the ascetic, but after my first time dropping my phone...literally ever. I have never dropped any phone i have had until today. My phone fell of a table, and as it fell the screen went head first into a mic stand pointed like a screw. It stabbed the front of the phone screen, then slide off to the ground laying face down. I knew at that moment no screen protector could have saved that phone from getting cracked. So i leaned over to pick it up expecting disaster and sure enough......The screen protector had ripped open and tore to the side with a good ripple to it. I was glad to see the screen was not absolutely shattered, and then i removed the case to find the real problem....And there was none. The screen looks absolutely brand new, not a flaw blemish or scuff. I wiped it off and was amazing that the screen protector somehow save my brand new iPhone XS Max. . I must say this is an amazing product that can protect your phone and all the while......make it look like an android. :| . Better to be looking like an android than broken to pieces, so i would recommend this. :)

The case is great quality if you’re looking to protect only the frame of your phone but not the screen. For me, this product was too bulky! I also like to have a glass screen protector just Incase. The one that comes with this phone is thin plastic like a zip lock bag. I don’t think it offers much or any protection for the screen if something did hit it. I tried putting a screen protector underneath but it was too tight and did not work. I ended up not using this case and buying a different one asap. I have to give this product 3/5 stars for the design. It’s over protection for the frame of your phone while under protecting the screen itself. Getting a glass screen protector is very inexpensive and I much prefer it to the protection this design offers. I think this phone is for a very small market of people who might damage their frame but not their screen and are okay with a bulky design.

Je ne regrette absolument pas cette achat qui m’a permis de protéger mon iPhone X à 100 % écran inclus. On peut dire que la coque intégrale rend le téléphone plutôt étanche. Il était tombé des dizaines de fois et le téléphone est toujours dans un état neuf avec zéro rayures grâce a cette coque.

Very good and has good protection too

Even 5 stars are less for this wonderful product. It is the best light and protected case for iPhone XS Max. The grip is very nice and transparent back will show off your iPhone colour

A distanza di un paio di mesi dall’acquisto posso scrivere di essere estremamente soddisfatto di questa custodia. Perfetta per il mio iPhone XS Max. La particolarità è data dal fatto che il telefono non è esposto da alcuna parte. La custodia infatti presenta una copertura totale. Le aperture per i contatti sono perfette, con un sistema di finestre apribili e chiudibili. Ho pulito la custodia tantissime volte con alcool per una maggiore tutela (visti i tempi) e non ho mai auto problemi di usura. Non è pesante e le dimensioni sono più che accettabili. Caduta due volte. Tutto a posto!

Screen protector makes it very hard to use the touch screen
