Best case for the Galaxy S4
After much research of comparable waterproof cases on the market, I decided on purchasing this case. There are many on the market, and waterproof cases are in a class above most others. So far I can't say enough good things about form fit and function. I work in construction trades so the waterproof/dustproof/shockproof/impactproof design is of extreme importance. Yeah it costs a bit more than others but what sets it apart from the others is:1. It doesn't add much bulk- For all the protection it offers, its quite a slim design compared to others I've seen.
2. Sound is exceptional. As I've read and experienced, this is a major complaint for most all other waterproof cases. People can hear me and I can hear them. Anyone that experiences this issue has not turned off "noise canceling" as the instructions suggest.
3. Touch sensitivitiy is unaffected.- I have found ZERO loss of touch screen sensitivity on this case.
4. Screen protector scratch resistance- I am always concerned the clear screen protector that is built into the case will scratch and degrade over time. The case is built with a clear plastic screen cover that features a 4H hardness rating. (search "pencil hardness") Although I haven't had the case that long yet, time will tell its overall durability. But at least Seidio is stating their screen protector hardness standard and not just saying "scratch resistant".
5. Waterproof rating is everything I expect- Another reviewer gave it a low rating for its waterproof attibute because they took it diving. C'mon really? Diving??? The case can go down 1 meter (3.3 feet) under water for continious submersion or 2 meters (6.6 feet) for up to 30 minutes. My phone comes with me kayak fishing in the ocean, but if you want a dive case, this case is not for you.
6. Wearability of port latch -For charging and audio connections to this case there is a waterproof port latch that is molded into the case that must be opened regularly. At first glance I thought the plastic hinge would quickly wear out. After looking closer it is NOT plastic but actually rubber and very ingeniously designed to keep water out. Sedieo states it has been tested for xxx amount of wear cycles. Time will tell for sure, but it is clear that the design and engineering was well thought out in this critical area.
7. Piece of mind- If the addage is true "you get what you pay for", this case applies for a reasonable level of protection and insurance against damage. You paid good money for your phone. You know its not a matter of "if" but "how often" you are going to drop your phone. Then there are those of us that will never admit you have ever sent you phone through the wash machine
