My favorite, but be careful with the holster.

My favorite of 3 cases I tried. [The others were the Samsung Rugged case & the Otterbox Defender. See my reviews of the others, too.]
The case is compact but well-cushioned. Gripping the phone is easy and sure (the actual phone is slick and hard to grip). The case looks like it provides great shock protection, but its so easy to hold I haven't dropped it ;D. I really like the solid feel of the integral ringstand, which has TWO stops to adjust the angle, as also rotates for portrait or landscape viewing. Rubber cushions at top and bottom protect the screen and a ring around the rear camera protects that, too. [If you want a thicker cushion, REMOVE THE PHONE and apply a thin layer of clear silicone caulk TO THE CASE where you want increased protection, but that's not generally necessary.]
The holster has only one weak spot--the swivel that connects it to the belt clip. The first day I wore it, I hooked it in a door and broke it, but Sahara Case is going to send a replacement. The holster is otherwise well-designed and rugged. The fixed clips hold the phone securely and the spring-loaded release clip is a BEAST. [The big complaint against the Otterbox Defender in reviews was the tiny grips on the release clip which broke.] Bonus: the belt clip has a "kickstand" to hold it open so you csn leave the phone holstered an stipp prop it up for viewing.
I'm rough on phones & holsters, so I have a separate recommendation for the holster: the Tough Tested (generic) holsters have ballistic nylon fabric bodies with a metal latch and a riveted-on belt clip which shrugs off snags.
In summary, a good-looking, dirable case with a great holster--as long as you dont snag it. I'm keeping this one.

I like the case and the fact that I can cover the front and back of my phone at the same time. I can also remove the piece that covers the front and clip it on the back so it does not get misplaced. It is comfortable in the hand and easy to hold.
Cons. It came broken. The piece that holds the belt clip was broken so i could not use it. I also wish could set the phone on a pad charger without removing the case.

I am basing my rating on what I believe is the protection ability of the case . I have dropped my phone twice and the case has done a great job protecting the screen and the camera lens. I was also pleasantly surprised at how nicely I can access the s-pen. The notch is completely open in the back which makes it easy to remove the pen for use.
I have always used a pop socket. They are great for the larger phones when you have smaller hands. The problem was that any case that provided the protection I wanted , had a texture and I couldn't use it. That's what brought me to try the ring on this case. It is definitely an acceptable replacement. Is it as good...no...but I decided the better case was worth the compromise.
The clip on the case holder broke right out of the box, but it was partially my fault, so I haven't used that. It looks like a handy piece if that's your thing,although the plastic piece on the clip broke very easily. I wasn't going to use it , so I wasn't concerned.

I'm glad I was able to get a new phone case but there where some problems. The clip-on case for your pants/belt broke very easily so I couldn't use it at all. Also it isn't wireless charging capable because its to high off the charging pad.

The case did not fit my android phone too big i need another case and i will order me a new one. Its unfortunate but i want a case that fits. But other than that its a pretty case, just not for me
