Our Verdict
Hardshell
Pros: Very thin; light; doesn’t impede button or slot access.
Cons: Screen film difficult to apply without getting bubbles; doesn’t provide complete protection to bezel area.
Comments: The case leaves the iPhone’s bezel exposed along the bottom edge. During testing, I dropped my iPhone and this section of the phone’s bezel was scratched.–Rob Griffiths
