Accessories HTC Desire Case-Mate Tough review

Hello..

So, after I broke and repaired my Desire, I felt it was time for some sort of cover. I browsed through many, looking for a case that would protect the handsets backside as well as being tall enough to take the hit it the phone fell face-down.

I ended up getting the Case-Mate Tough case. (HTC Desire Case-Mate HYBRID Tough Case - Black, very fast shipping)

And I have to say, that I'm not disappointed.
The case is quite expensive for what it is, but it does it's job extremely well.

First goes on the silicone cover, followed by the hard plastic cover. The plastic part snaps into place easily, when alinged with the volume-buttons.

It's also tall enough on the front to take a hit when dropped face down, around a good 3-5mm from the glass.

The case has cutouts for the audio jack, microUSB and microphone. The volume and power buttons have their own places in the silicone part.

My only gripe with the case is that both ends of the phone are not covered by the hard plastic, and being only silicone there, when pulling out of a tighter pocket, they might bend, or even possibly tear the silicone apart.

I'd give this case 4.5/5, because of the not-complete plastic covering, and the price, but it's still an extremely protective case, doing it's job well.

Like the package says, "Think Rambo, only pocket sized."
