Default [Review] Aprolink Shell Standing Case

As promised, I have received the Aprolink case and here's my review:

First, the case comes in a box that transforms into a photo frame but I was unable to check this feature since I have no printed photos in that size. The instructions says that 3x5 inches photo will fit.




Second, the case is BEAUTIFUL! The color I bought is glossy white with red and I think it's adding a nice color to the all-white device.



The color really shows on this photo



The case has EXACT holes and cut outs for the 3.5mm headphone jack, USB port and tiny yet precise cut outs for the microphones (on the top and on the bottom of the device), a nice circle around the camera and flash and a split speaker grill cutout (that does not affect the sound output).
The volume buttons and the sleep/wake button are covered by rubber and are very easy to press. Volume buttons are slightly narrow so that might take a few minutes to get used to.
The case also has a lip so you can lay your phone on the table while the screen is facing down without worrying.











The camera lens are protected as well


IMPORTANT!!
I own an international Tegra3 device so at&t and One XL owners might experience a slight misalignment here and there!

For more colors and some information, Aprolink's official webpage.

Found some photos of the Sensation case (different design, though), still gives a nice overall feeling about the quality of the case:

After checking out the Sensation case in the link above and watching several videos of their iPhone cases I was very impressed by Aprolink's products and I have decided to order the case.
I guess this could take a while since the seller is shipping from Taiwan.
If no one else will do it before me, I'll upload some photos and a review when I'll receive it.

*Edit: Review added on 1st post.

Can you show more angles of the camera, protection looks minimal tbh

The lens are almost on the same level with the case so it's not that simple to catch on photo. It's not as protective as an Otterbox but according to photos it provides protection that competes with Case-Mate's Tough case.

Anyway, here's the photo:


If you want a shot from different angle I can try to catch it. A picture of the desired position (with a different case) might help as well.

Hmm it's more of a cutout than protection then. The cutout on my Rock Magic Cube has a 2mm lip that surrounds the lens, offering great scratch protection. Also, the cutout on mine is alot smaller, surrounding the actual lens diameter, not the bigger silver circle around it.

Oh well, thanks for the pic

Received my white and grey one today, which was ordered on the 11th June - China to the UK in 7 days ain't bad at all.

Nice case, aside from the aprolink logo on the back being slightly skewed.

I was previously using the official HTC C700 hard case, which looks great, but is so damn slippy. This case just sticks to your fingers and makes one handed operation much easier.
