  Minimalist Design with Good Protection

  While there are several "slim" covers for the iphone X, they are mainly for grip, not drop protection. What's the point of a slim cover if it doesn't offer protection? Therefore, I researched several slim cases before taking a chance and deciding on this one because it has the added benefit of drop protection in a minimalist design. I am happy to report that I am delighted by my choice because the cover is light and doesn't add bulk to the phone while offering what appears to be reasonably good protection. Such protection largely stems from the bumper guards on the top and bottom of the frame which doesn't look bad once you put the phone in the frame as it blends in quite well (so don't be discouraged by the photos which show the bumpers without the phone inside). Note that the sides of the phone are exposed but presumably the bumpers on the top and bottom are placed in such a way that the phone, when dropped, may not actually touch the bare sides -- that is my assumption of why the sides are not covered. And, also because the box specifically states, " "Dual-layer shock absorbing corner coverage protects your phone from impact at any angle" Some of the features advertised on the box in which the cover came in are: 1. Raised camera protection 2. Scratch resistant cover 3. Shock absorbing and anti slip 4. Drop protection 5. Port protection 6. Visible edge design 7. Direct button access 8. 1.1 MM bezel for screen protection 9. Built to last with "shock wave technology" 10. "Dual-layer shock absorbing corner coverage protects your phone from impact at any angle" 11. "Stark features a visible edge design that covers the top, bottom, back, and corners of the phone, providing the ultimate protection for the minimalist user" 12. Lifetime warranty 13. Ultra-slim design 14. Micro Defense Technology 15. Drop tested for 8 feet To conclude, these features are a great combination for a minimalist design. I am a difficult person to please and I can't tell you just how happy I am to have stumbled on this cover!
