Here we are with the FlexiShield gel case for the Samsung Galaxy S4. Now, if you’ve got a Galaxy S4 or any of the previous Galaxy phones you’ll know that they’re not the most durable of devices.
The plastic cover does mean that the chance of taking a nasty knock increases quite considerably. So, with something like the FlexiShield Galaxy S4 cases the idea is it’s flexible but hard-wearing.
So when you pop this on your device and if you happen to drop it or it takes a knock it’s the FlexiShield that is going to take the brunt of the force and not your back cover or the sides of the S4.
It does work quite nicely, more importantly when they’ve milled the ports out they have left plenty of room around all of these various port holes so if you’re using either non-standard cables or if it’s your camera or your speaker grille the case isn’t interfering. With the camera especially it’s not blocking any light around the outside and it’s not obscuring the LED flash either.
On the bottom you can see that it’s leaving plenty of space for your micro usb so if you happen to be using a third party usb cable maybe it’s got a slightly bulkier end to it, it’s not going to interfere and it will still go in quite neatly.
On the front of the case, and one of the reasons I like these gel cases so much is this lip. If the device happens to fall on its face, the actual screen isn’t going to take the hit on the desk, or on the floor.
The covering around the outside, the lip, will take the brunt of the force.
Obviously, if you take a trauma directly onto this screen something that’s slightly raised up, then I’m afraid this case is not going to protect you but to protect the back of your case and the sides, to prevent that face plant from occurring then the gel case is absolutely fantastic and one thing I really like about the FlexiShield is how hard-wearing it actually is.
Having that additional skin on there really makes a big difference.
