Final Thoughts
Putting the iPhone 4 into the case was very simple, and I felt that the case held the iPhone well.
It certainly felt protecting, and is very hard wearing.
The case is slightly bigger than just a normal case, but that is because of the extra protection. If like me you are used to a smaller case, the Reflex case takes a little getting used to.
The only issue I came across was trying to recharge my iPhone in a dock with the Reflex case still fitted. Half of the time the charging was fine, and the other half I needed to “wiggle” the iPhone to get the charging the start. Again, this is because of the extra bulk of the case.
The cost of the Reflex case is $44.95 and comes in multiple colours.
If you want some added protection for your iPhone, then you should seriously consider taking a long look at the Reflex Series Case.
