Anyone who knows me knows that I tend to be very rough on my phone. It gets dropped (sometime drop kicked) or thrown, chewed on (by my 10 mo son), thrown in my bag or pocket, I've even fallen off my horse and landed on my phone in my pocket. This means I'm always on the lookout for a good phone case that will keep it in excellent shape.
So far, the Jola case seems to be holding up well to my abuse. It is one piece and snaps easily and securely onto my phone. I had to pull it off today to put on a new screen protector; it was not easy to get off, but it was nowhere near impossible. My phone will certainly not fall out of the case when it gets dropped.
The hole around the earphone plug is large enough that it doesn't impede using a headphone jack (previous cases I've had have made it difficult to use headphones). It is still a bit tricky to pull the cover off of the charge port, but as long as you have some finger nails (not chewed down to the quick) you should be fine. The charge port cover is a problem no matter what case you get.
My one concern with this case is that it is very slick. I have been afraid that it would simply fly out of my hand and onto the ground, but as of right now, that hasn't happened yet. It still feels insecure in my hand though. The one positive about this is that my phone slides easily into my back pocket. This case is fairly light, which is nice. I enjoy not having a lot of extra weight on my phone.
Other than the slickness, I really like this case. I'm going to drop one star (down to 4/5) because I am constantly afraid I'm going to drop it. Otherwise, it is one of the best cases I've dealt with.
I received the product mentioned above for free or greatly discounted in exchange for my review. Regardless, I only recommend products I like and use personally.
