Returning it to target. Screen is terrible and couldn’t get passed fluorescent green.

is there any way to remove the screen protector? i'm sure it doesnt just pop off, but like can you remove it without damaging the rest of the case?

This Telephant Bumper is a win. It’s EVERYTHING RhinoShield Mod/Crashguard should be for money. Excellent buttons, fabulous feel in hand without overly wide, and made from a super rubbery rubber. Hard to explain. WAAAYYY better for money than Mod or Crashguard.

My Lifeproof Fre came today. Didn’t spend MUCH time with it because I threw it on and it didn’t like my iCarez Glass on phone, which doesn’t surprise me.

Sorry to hear that. I guess that's pretty much in line with just about every other review of this case I've read.

Is the Telephant strictly a bumper, or does it have a back protection option?

Here’s another great Ross Store find. Like the look and for $7.99 can’t really go wrong. Seems to be the same form factor as the Penguin case I got there a couple of weeks ago. Nice raised edges and feel in the hand. It’s a 2 piece slide together type case though so have to be cautious and wipe the case clean before I insert my phone to avoid scratching.

LOL. Why? What part do you not like? The colors?
Why they chose to bling it with the gold is beyond me.

They go with a plain light grey upper & then change the theme completely with a 'look at me' shiny (& scratch magnet) gold bottom.

Slider design is good. Just need a whole plain or bling coating, not a mixture of the two...

What are you talking about? That case is blue and black!

Jlczi, be careful when removing the case, there is a risk of scratching from grit that may get inside and pulled along the phone when slid off.

Happened to me way back on the 3GS.

Hi,
I’m currently using Rhinoshield Crashguard and is having a hard time to remove the bumper for cleaning. It’s closed to impossible. So I’m thinking to get the Mod instead. Can anyone here share if removing the Mod is just as hard or is easier?

Thanks.

No, they’re both equally a pain to get off.

Do you find the black silicone to be a pain to keep clean?
Unfortunately the black silicone keep more dust than the leather one and on the black color you can see dust better then in the other, but for me it’s not a problem, I clean it often and I wash it every day.
