Tech21 - EVO CHECK Case for Apple® iPhone® 7 Plus and 8 Plus - Smokey/Black

I purchased this case in April 2017, my main reason for my purchase of this specific case was that it was clear and allowed my phone to be seen while offering more than minimal protection. I am rating the case as fair because 3 months later it has done a fine job of protecting my iPhone 7 Plus but unfortunately the case it self has darkened and yellowed. My only guess is that it was defective material that allowed the case to become darkened, yellowed and unsightly, but as stated earlier it still serves it intended purpose of protecting the phone. I did contact the company (tech21) under their Limited Lifetime Warranty, unfortunately I paid cash for my case and I failed to put the receipt in the original box which i still had and without the receipt the company was unwilling to honor the Warranty.

I purchased this case in the store because I wanted to physically feel it before getting it. This is the only case I could find that had any sort of "grip" to it. All the other cases were too slick and I was afraid the phone would slip and drop, especially if I was trying to hold the phone with one hand (since I have the iPhone 7 Plus and it's nearly the size of an iPad mini). While this case does have a smooth surface, it's made out of that flexible, rubbery (or whatever) material that your fingers sort of "stick" to (which is a GOOD thing), yet it doesn't show finger prints and it still allows the phone to slip in and out of pockets easily. I like the minimal design because it stays true to the iPhone "look" (I got the black case for my black phone) without adding a ton of bulk. As far as the protection factor, I haven't dropped my phone yet so I can't really give an informed opinion on protection, but I'm hoping it protects well (fingers crossed). The only complaint I have is that this case makes the power button on the side EXTREMELY difficult to activate, so it requires you to push REALLY hard to get it to work. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this case and I'd recommend it, but I do wish the power button functionality worked a little better.

The case is good but the bottom of the case on the first one didn’t cover up to the glass of the screen. The bottom seemed deformed and was enough so that I couldn’t connect my charger to the port.. I looked at other ones (in different colors as they didn’t have another black one) and found the bottom wasn’t deformed. I returned my first one and exchanged for a new one. The second one I could connect the charging cord without as much interference but the bottom was still deformed. Imagine looking straight on at the charging port. The top of the case had a dip in the middle (smiley face). I kept the second one as i could still connect the charger and it did just barely extend up to the top of the screen. Raises that, I’ve had tech21 cases before and they are great at protecting your phone.

This case is crazy-amazing. I love that the case does not add too much bulkyness, keeping the sleek shape of the iPhone’s design on full display. And it fits snugly around the edges of the phone to give maximum screen viewing and total protection from drops that result in the phone landing on its face, or that ever-reverberating crash onto a corner of the device that has a strong tendency to damage not only the screen but the casing of the phone as well. I buy the same case for all of my new phones. I am glad, too, because just hours after putting this on my new iPhone 8s, I dropped it. The phone landed face down, but all was well because of the quality and security this case offers. I have since dropped my phone at least three more times, on various landing surfaces and still not a scratch. The protection capacity for the case is a “10” and the overall “low profile,” sleek nature makes this case a must buy!!

I bought the Tech 21-Evo case in pink for my wife as a surprise. Her original case was falling apart and she didn’t mind that it did. To her the slimness of the case was perfect but didn’t mind the rubber parts wearing out. She loves this case....it’s pink and thin. Now for the product itself although thin it has good protection. It’s soft plastic that protects from short distance fall say about 3 to 4 feet high. By no means is it like the other cases sold by life proof or otter box. It protects up to a certain height. I can attest to the hieght since she drop the phone coming out of the car. It fell out of her hand when she went to close the door from the top of the car window. The price is right for this type of case. Get it if you like pink, thin, and modern styled. Cheers!

Using this in bridge mode from a Google Fiber modem/router. The Google router is connected to the Velop with a HDMI cable.. It worked fine for my tv's and google home/mini boxes. The google speed test gave me over 100 Mbps on the volup network where I am getting about 60 on the Google fiber wifi (I have 1 Gbit service) and I saw NO reduction in speed at the second node. Big problem that I cannot connect my client computers to the server though the volep nodes. I have to leave the computers on the Google router network in order for the clients to access data on my server. (I'm still working on that and hope to find a solution.)

I have been a Tech21 fan for many years. Each product I have purchased for my Samsung and Apple devices has been a top notch product in terms of style, performance and protection. This Evo Check case is no different. I would highly recommend this case for the following reasons: -The case adds almost no bulk to make the phone look "chunky" -The edges are extremely protective while adding minimal bulk. I have dropped my iPhone 7 plus numerous times on different points of impact with no damage to the phone or screen. -The case composition makes for easy grip of the phone. It also allows for minimal movement when on slanted surfaces or dashboards. -The clear back with a herringbone pattern and the white outside edging complement my iPhone 7 Plus nicely. I highly recommend this case or any case from Tech21. You can't go wrong with Tech21.

This case was purchased for a new 8 plus. I was looking for a firm rubber case as I feel they absorb impact better than those hard plastic ones. This case if pretty durable. I've dropped my phone a couple time since and it has done it's job protecting the phone. There's one major design flaw with this case. The opening for the Ring/Silent switch is so small and recessed, you need to put an object in there (paperclip, pen, anything small) in order to flip it on and off, unless you have really long nails. I'd say most men will have issues since we don't typically have nails that extend beyond our fingertips. Had I know this, I probably wouldn't have purchased. But if you have long (ladylike) fingernails, you might like it.
