Belkin Essential 031 Case for iPhone 4s (Black/Overcast)

 (5 customer reviews)

This case is very protective. I dropped my phone face down while ice skating and it was fine, no scratches or marks. I have thrown my phone across the room and it just bounces up with this case on. I'm happy with how protective it is, but I do have one problem. The color fades and turns much lighter in time. When I first purchased this case, I was happy with the vibrant sunset pink color and the gray color around the edges. It quickly started to fade, though. As of now, this case is more orange than pink. I am not happy with the change in color that occurs. I even tried to clean it with no luck. It is a nice case, but it gets dirty easily.

I had the black and white version of this case and loved it, but when I saw this pink/grey version I knew I had to have it! I absolutely love the colors and look. The material is also great because it's kind of rubbery so it doesn't slide around, but not too rubbery. It's a very snug fit, and excellent protection for the phone. The only minor problem is that the top on/off button is hard to push, which is weird because on my black version of the case it was almost too easy to push. It's not a big deal though. Overall, I love this case and would highly recommend it! My boyfriend also loves it so much that he took over the black version of the case when I got the pink version.

The item is just as pictured. It's more of a coral/melon pink which is what I was hoping for. The texture is good. It's a little rubbery so that it doesn't slide off my lap or anything, but it's not SO rubbery that dust and crumbs stick to it. It's the perfect in between. My only issue is that it seems like around the corners, it's a little bit discolored (probably from setting it down on different surfaces, but still, the texture absorbs colors...) Overall, I would recommend it.
