Caseology Wavelength for LG G5 Case (2016) - Stylish Grip Design - Navy Blue

So first things first.. Fit and finish. When I bought this case, I was a little hesitant, since the same case for the iPhone 6 wasn't the best fit, the one on the iPhone 6 was a little loose, this one fits snug. So I was more than thrilled and my doubts were alleviated instantly. Going to the back, the camera and fingerprint sensor cutouts perfectly line up with the hardware. I immediately installed my tempered glass screen protector, and they seemed to have been made to work seamlessly with each other in mind. As you can see from the photos, you can't see any form of gap in between the screen protector and the case. Which is phenomenal, because I am very OCD about those sorts of things.Usability Volume buttons are a little too easy to press at times. Which can lead to volume changes unexpectedly. Other than that, grip is great, the textured back is wonderful in the hands not to mention adds a touch of style to the overall design that makes it feel organic.Protection The TPU sleeve would probably be sufficient enough, but Caseology decided to go the extra mile and add the polycarbonate bumper to add that extra layer of protection, for that, "Just in case" sensation. The sides of the case extend high enough to protect the screen even on face first falls. Still be sure to get a screen protector, as no case garuntees the full safety of your phone.Overall I am very happy with my purchase of this case, and have found myself liking my cell phone even more due to the sense of grip the case has added. Which is an added benefit I wasn't even aware of.

I love my new case! I have the pink LG G5 and I purchased the turquoise mint green case. It arrived promptly and was easy to put on my phone. It fits snugly. I also purchased the LG G5 Tempered Glass Screen Protector, [Full Screen Coverage] Supershieldz Anti-Scratch, Anti-Fingerprint, Bubble Free. The edge of the screen protector is not interfering with the edge of the case (I had this problem with my last case and screen protector on this same phone). Both items fit nicely together. I really like the mint color and the texture on the back of the case. The fit is nice and slim, as well. Would definitely recommend this combination of the two products.

Fits well around all cutouts such as the charge port and headphone jack. This case is high quality and has a great grip. The case is thin and not bulky but it protects well. I know this because I drop my phone more often than I can count. Its protected my phone from some major falls I'm super glad I bought this it was def a good buy.

Pros:-Perfect amount of grip-Looks sophisticated... kind of like the phone already looks.-Openings for buttons, lens, and plugins are perfect!Cons:-Volume buttons make it easy to accidentally raise/lower volume... usually raising it when you don't want it raised.-Does not address the quick-change extra battery modular system. It's hard to get off making changing the modular battery (a huge feature of this phone) a chore.As you can see from the pros and cons, there are really only two things about this case I don't like, but they are serious enough I took off a star for each one. The volume buttons is a big deal, because it would have been pretty easy to just leave an open and smooth void where the volume buttons are, allowing the user to get their finger in there to change it but at the same time making the button recessed to prevent accidental changes. The way they have it makes it just as difficult to fell and just as easy to accidentally change, or change incorrectly, as without the case. My case also seems to make it easy to accidentally up the volume and harder to lower it.The quick change modular system is also a big deal, because LG (for reasons I can't fathom) decided that even though the LG G4 was wildly successful due to it's easily enlarged battery and removable micro SD card, they would make it nearly impossible to enlarge the battery of the LG G5. So our most widely available option is to carry an extra battery because the modular system of removing the bottom section makes changing it pretty easy. But NOT if you have to first pry off the very tight protective case every time.So, while I love the looks of this case and think it will do a decent job of protecting from falls, those two things mean I will try a different case if I buy another one.

I feared this would bulk my phone up too much, but it didn't. I've had this on my phone for a while now and it feels pretty good. The sides are a little on the spongy side, but I've had many cases like that and I've learned to live with it. The volume buttons are sensitive, but I think that's more LG's fault for putting them right on the place I like to pick my phone up from.I've not dropped my phone, even for purposes of testing, but I believe that my phone is more likely to survive an encounter with gravity with this case than without.The case doesn't directly protect the front of the phone, but does have a thin bezel that prevents the glass coming in direct contact with thesurface.It should keep the glass away from any dirt on an average surface. If you put your phone, glass-side down on a filthy, grubby surface then you deserve to get your phone ruined, you evil person you.I am pleased to say that unlike my previous case, this case does not interfere with the wide-angle camera. There is no case-induced vignetting and I couldn't be happier. Secondly, the fingerprint sensor likewise isn't impeded in its function. There is no digging the tips of your fingers into the case to get at the sensor. It feels natural, as if the case wasn't even there.Looks-wise it suits the phone well. All the strange orifices on the phone line up with the centre of the case's orifices (orifi?) and look professionally made. I even use the IR Blaster successfully and headphones fit in the little recess just perfectly. Sound still sounds great from the speakers, so there is little to dislike about this product.Except the colour. I should have chosen the black and silver. maybe patterned cases can come next. Or interchangeable parts. I see the case is already modular, but I am not sure if this is end-user deconstruct-able and I'm too afraid to try. Still, it was worth it.

I bought the case around 2 weeks ago. The look and feel of the case is nice however, the volume buttons don't function properly. If I press up, the volume sometimes goes the opposite way and vice versa. Not a great product/design for this reason!

The case itself is good, rigid yet slightly flexible to allow easy application and removal. It doesn't make the phone feel too large in the hand and gives a significant amount of grip, due to the textured rear.The downside to this case is that the volume buttons are now extremely sensitive, with little movements in the pocket typcially cuasing the phone to go into silent mode. Also, the case opening for the fingerprint scanner is very deep, meaning that only half of the finger can be placed on, resulting in multiple mis-read fingerprints.Other than this, although it is yet to be dropped, it seems to be a pretty solid case.

Mobile phone companies spend a lot of time to make their phones look smart, and then we buy cases to protect them and hide them. This case does the same to an extent, but at least it leaves a lower part so the original colour is visible. This case has a patterned reverse that breaks up the large surface and provides a no slip pattern. I haven't dropped the phone (yet!), but feel confident it will protect it. The clearances around plug openings is good - no interference with charging plugs (unlike one fitted to my old Samsung) or headphones.

This case feels cheap and incredibly loose on the LG G5, the plastic bumper which goes around the case is flimsy and has gaps to the case. I removed the case because I wasn't confident that it would protect my phone. The volume buttons cutouts also constantly press on the buttons, meaning that there is sometimes a volume slider on the screen. Likewise when taking photos this gets annoying as it will take busts of photos because it thinks you are holding down the button.I DID NOT GET THIS CASE FOR FREE, UNLIKE SOME OTHER REVIEWS. I PAID MONEY FOR IT AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT!
