From the reviews, it sounds like the case will break after a short period of use; for those still has it, how's the durability? Is it still working?

To start off with it's not aluminum and I had to modify it so it wouldn't keep pushing on the power button. It's does protect it somewhat but if I was looking for a case that would protect it I would buy a leather case

I've been using it for almost 2 months now and it's been doing a great job. No signs of deterioration so far!!

To be honest, I haven't attempted to use it. Once I received it, I realized the build quality is sub par. I have intentions on sending it back.

John, my frame also broke at that point, after 9 months. I considered it normal wear and tear and just bought a replacement frame (at least I didn't need to replace the whole case). Good news, the new frame has been bulked up a bit around the charging port, so hopefully it will last longer.

I have a case just like this, if not this exact one for my iPad mini. I am looking for a new one now because I played with the stand a lot and it just broke off. I've had it for about 2 years. If you don't play with the stand a lot when the stand itself is not in use, you should be fine.

I'm sorry didn't notice the couple of times when used the case. I can say it isn't one of my favorite because I'm affraid that the case isn't durable enough for possible drops. I can say that the "iface" case are the most durable compared to the costly outerbox. I will make sure to notice next time the case is used. I really like it based only on appearance. Good luck with your selections.

I had one break shortly after buying my case. They replaced it without any problems. I've had the new one for a little more than a year now with no problems.

Oh yeah I know what you mean. Well, I've had it for about a week so far & I've used it A LOT. I haven't had that problem yet. I don't think you'll have a problem but then again I'm not 100% sure. This is a pretty High Quality case. I'm sure it'll be fine.

I haven't had a problem with mine but I knew this was temporary until I could get the one case I really wanted. There is no warranty on the case as far as I know. Sorry you are having problems with yours.

Just to let you know, Mine was not in good condition when i got mine, but that was just design issue. I can not tell you how many times I have dropped it and frankly I don't care what kind of damage it does or doesnt do to the case since I knew immediately upon coming out of the box that I would have to replace it soon. That being said, It has held up to drops better than I had expected. Every time I drop it, I still look down to check that everything is ok with my phone. I believe it has stood up to this because the rubber coating on the inside of the case stops most of the forces that would normally shatter the plastic case around it.

I've had mine for almost a year and use it a couple times a month. I'm careful with it but it's held up just fine. I wouldn't consider it super durable but there's that fwiw.

It is pretty good! I have this style of case from the same conpany that I bought in sept and it is still in great condition so I am assuming this one is the same, as of now all had been good!

It functions quite well so far. I don't drop my phone as much and I don't have the case in 24/7. There has been times where I dropped my phone with the case on and nothing has been damaged. My dad on the other hand drops his phone at least once a day, whether it's a hard fall or soft fall, and his phone is perfectly fine with the case on. Overall I think it functions pretty well. The case does add a bit of weight but you will eventually get use to it after a while. I have small hands/wrists and it felt heavy at first but I eventually adjusted and as I used the case on my phone more it does not feel as heavy. It only adds some weight, nothing to major in my opinion. Hope this helps a bit!

I honestly never had an issue. The case it not really made for protection as much as it is for looks, feel and functionality. I have two cases and love them.

Hi Eric, I've had the case since August. It's always in pocket and I've dropped it a number of times and no signs of damage to the case or to my Ipod. It really is pretty tough. Hope this helps. Ron

It hold up fairly well. That back surface does "scratch" easily, but that does not impact the durability of the case. Over 2-3 months though, the case does lose it's strength and begins to be loose on the phone.

Honestly I like the case but you want something a bit more sturdy and strong... Amazon has a bunch more cases for a few dollars more that you would be more satisfied with. I bought 2 of these and I will NEVER use the other now that I have a better higher quality case. Don't get me wrong, it does the job and I was glad I had it but again, spend a few bucks more and get something a lot more durable. Hope that helps!
