The anodized aluminum buttons feel surprisingly premium for a case this rugged, and the Atlantic Blue really pops against the black frame. I’ve dropped it twice on concrete already and it’s barely got a scuff. MagSafe still clicks on perfectly through the backplate.
The dual lanyard points are a lifesaver—I’ve got one on my wrist and one clipped to my bag, and the case hasn’t budged. The TPU bumpers feel grippy without being sticky, and the blue is exactly as deep as the photos showed. Even after a week of drops, the polycarbonate frame still looks flawless.
