Apple MFI Certified Type-C to Lightning Woven Cable with Aluminum Housing - 6IN

This is one of the sturdiest usb-c to lightning cables I’ve bought. I take care of my wires yet they still stop working over time but I don’t have the feeling that will be the case with this one. It charges incredibly fast and doesn’t heat up to uncomfortable temperatures. I wasn’t looking for a great cable, just needed a quick replacement, but this turned out to be something I believe will last a long while.

Bought for an iPhone XR. Works good. Haven’t had any times where I needed the protection yet. Fits just fine over the phone. The Belkin glass screen protector sold on Apple’s website for the iPhone XR does not present a problem for this case. The case fits over the phone and glass screen protector just fine. I don’t use the credit card holder for credit cards, just a credit card sized card that list my personal information in case the phone gets lost. The case is supposed to let you angle the phone in an upright position, but it is hard to do for me and when I get it, it works good for watching videos. The case is lightweight. The iPhone XR camera lens is recessed into the case, so the camera is well protected, even if you lay it on a thin layer of water, for example, if you lay the phone in the case on a table that has some water on it from a spilt water glass, your camera will be protected up to a point. The case looks great to me and it does make the iPhone XR bulky looking. The case completely blocks the color of the phone body. The only give away of what color the iPhone is, is the the recessed camera cutout. All buttons work as expected and the tactile feel is great. The back of the case has a nice leather look to it. The copper trim looks like real copper. The black rubber part of the case looks like it was precision cut and the cutouts for the lightning connectors and speaker holes look very nice, meaning they are precisely cut for the iPhone XR. The case is much more impressive in person than the Amazon photos would have you believe. All in all a great case. The only thing I can’t say is, how well it protects the phone from bumps and falls. I’m not going to test my phone of course, but the way it looks and how it feels, it seems like it would protect great, but I can’t say anything about it’s real world performance in protection. Any phone will get damaged regardless of the case, if it bumps or drops from too high a height. Even a drop of 2 feet onto concrete or asphalt or hard like surface will damage most glass phones, so don’t expect a miracle from a case unless it’s completely encased including the screen and water, dust proof with shock absorbers, suck a case would be enormous of course in order to allow the shock absorbers enough travel length. This case works for me. Give it a try. You can always send it back.

First off, I feel cheated that I didn’t get this case for free or discounted like most others seem to be getting it... So, from someone that paid regular price: I’m happy with my purchase. I bought this case because Otterbox hasn’t updated their commuter case for the iPhone 7 yet and this looked like the best option available (could fit at least 3 cards with a couple bonus features I didn’t go out of my way to have: magnetic back and built-in stand). I fit 3 cards (one was a thinner ID) and a cash bill folded twice. I tried adding an additional item (fishing license), but I had to fold that twice and that caused too much bulging. The card space is recessed and it sits in something like a rubber pocket, so it can flex as cards are added. The cover snaps very assertively over the card holder, which is great for keeping cards safe - I’m not worried about losing them at all. Of course, it might hold them too well as I struggle a little bit to get the cards/cash out over the recess (they don’t just smoothly slide out - especially anything below the top card). The magnetic feature also means I can attach this to my vent magnet in my car without having to add a metal pad to my case. I wouldn’t have gone out of my way for this feature, but no complaints that it’s part of the package. The stand feature doesn’t really have as many angles as it claims to - the phone is just too heavy to have it at the smaller (closer to laying flat) angles. The upright most angle (closer to standing on its side) is very stable. I haven’t had any major drops yet (give it time...) so can’t speak to durability other than it seems like it should hold up pretty decently. I added a glass screen protector which of course means the protective edge around the front of the case doesn’t stand out as far from the first glass surface (being my screen protector). Of course ideally, the screen protector should take care of protecting said screen and hopefully it’s not an issue. Summary: 4 stars because of the shortcomings listed, but as the review title says, overall I’m happy with my purchase.
