Just got the case, shipping took forever from US -> Canada.
Ballistic seems to be more leaning to protection first then everything else second. Otterbox does well balancing Appearance/Protection/Bulk that's why it is so popular. It seems to be built with quality materials and they're no fitting issues for me. The 3 holes are not covered in the back so that is a plus over the Trident. It is quite bulky and thick coming from an otterbox on my old phone. Each corner has a bit of a bulge coming out which is suppose to absorb shock when the phone falls. Headphone and USB port are not covered but every other button is. Buttons that are covered are very responsive and feel nice. Not as heavy as I thought it would be which is a good thing, actually quite light. I wouldn't be scared to drop my phone at all. Probably the best case for the Amaze on the market right now. But if Otterbox released a case I would be tempted to buy it.
9.5/10 Protection -0.5 for no usb/headphone cover and camera is a bit exposed.
8/10 Price- I got it for $28 shipped to Canada not bad. Around same for otterbox.
7/10 Bulk- More on the thicker side but lightweight. Not as bulky as Trident I think.
8/10 Appearance- It looks nice and rugged but doesn't have finesse like the otterbox. But it does feel really good in the hands.
10/10 Build Quality/Materials - Seems as if the materials are well made and can stand up to punishment. Lightweight and functional.
Will be subject to editing and more review as I use it. But overall happy with purchase and this case does what it is suppose to do PROTECT my phone.
