Accessories Rearth Ringke Case and Ringz Review

I've been using my Rearth Ringke Case and a Ringz audio jack cap for about a week now, so I'll share my thoughts about it with everyone.

Design:
One of the things I really like about this case is the look of it. I like how it maintains the look of the phone while still protecting it. The lip around the screen protects the screen if you put the phone face down. The cutouts are nice and the audio jack cutout fits perfectly with the Ringz Audio Jack Cap, and that's both good and bad, but I'll explain why later. Something I noticed that I haven't seen on other cases is that there's a little lip around the camera, which is great for when you put your phone down on it's back. It will offer a bit more protection for the camera. One of the things that bugs me is the part that goes around the speaker. It seems kind of thin and I'm afraid it will rip in the future. Another thing that bugs me is that I hit the lip around the screen whenever I have to slide across the screen (like when I'm playing Roller, which is like skee ball) it kind of pulls it back and it just bugs me a bit.

Quality:
I'm impressed by the quality of this silicone. It definitely doesn't feel like a cheap eBay rip-off. It's not the type of silicone that gets stuck in your pocket and it doesn't collect lint like most silicone cases do. This case doesn't add bulk, but it still provides protection, which is nice. As stated earlier, I would like to see the part around the speaker a bit thicker or just not there at all.

Usability:
This case has a very nice, grippy feel to it. It provides access to all the ports and covers the volume rocker and power button. One problem I have with the volume rocker and power button is that they aren't that easy to press for me. I don't like the bare buttons on the Inspire though. The buttons with and without the case seem about the same. I have three different micro USB chargers and they all fit fine with the case on. Headphones fit fine with the case on too.

Ringz Audio Jack Caps:
These little things are awesome :D They keep dust out of the audio port when they're not in use. It's flush with the case, which is nice because it makes it look nicer (as opposed to it sticking out) but that makes it a bit harder to pull out. You can still pull it out pretty easily, though. You can't beat the price: $1.99.

Overall:
I enjoy using this case. It offers enough protection for every day use, but doesn't add much bulk at all. It has some nice features and doesn't seem to have too many problems. It's made of good quality silicone and feels nice.

If you have any questions about the case, feel free to ask. Thanks for reading my review and I hope you liked it :)

I'll be uploading some pictures later in the week.
 
I've tried to upload them, but it won't let me. I sent in a support ticket and the guy said he would try to put them on for me.
