ULAK Hybrid Case for Apple iPhone 5 / iPhone 5S 2-Piece Dual Layer Style Hard Cover (Gold+Black)

All opinions expressed are my own and Xander's. I received the ULAK Hybrid Case for his iPhone 5 for free. Amazon said it would be delivered Saturday, with the Snow we received, mail did not run, but I received a text from Amazon around 3 pm Sunday, that the ULAK case had been delivered and sure enough it was in my mailbox.  My son quickly opened the package and was begging me to switch cases.

 A new case, a clothe to wipe screen off, new screen protector, a card to wipe the bubbles out and a stylist

Before we put the phone in the new case, this is the way the 2 pieces go.

 This is how the 2 pieces look when they are separated before adding them to the phone.

His iPhone 5 going into the first piece, after replacing the screen protector that was on his phone. It was filthy.

 Putting on the second part of the case.

 Completely together.

 This is what the back looks like.

Side view. Looks so much slimmer.

Difference in thickness between his Otterbox and ULAK. ULAK is much thinner.

Pros: Thin. Clearer, cleaner sound out of speaker. Easier to remove. Fits better in pockets. Does not stick to lining of backpack at school, or his sweatpants pockets. Thinner button covers requiring less pressure. Comes with a stylist that matches cover.

Cons: Does not protect from water or dust. My son said he wished it had an outer screen cover like the the Otterbox does to give added protection from scratches.

Overall Opinion:  Love the ULAK. It fits better in his pockets. Easy to get to earbud plug and power connection. Protects very well from drops. Love the stylist.

Ulak Knox Armor for iPhone 6 Plus

My husband has been complaining that while he likes the Otterbox protection, it makes his iPhone 6 Plus thick. My husband is 6'8", in his big hands the iPhone 6 Plus looks like an iPhone 6 does in my hands. 

Amazon lists the Ulak knox Armor for the iPhone 6 Plus reg. 29.99. I received the Ulak Knox Armor for the iPhone 6 Plus case in black for free. First thing my husband said when I put his phone in the new case and handed it to him was "It makes the phone thinner and feels great". He loves how it is textured, it does not slide when he does not want it to. He can place it in his backpack and it does not get stuck like the other case does. He loves that fact that the buttons are not huge or sticking out. He said on the old case he would have to push hard on the buttons, on this new case he barely pushes the buttons and it responds extremely well. He also said that the lip at the bottom naturally pushes his finger/thumb into the home button when he wants to push it, the old case it was harder to push the home button in.

Pros:  thin, light weight, protects well, easy to push buttons, does not have huge button covers which in turn allows it respond to a light touch, when listening to music on speaker - volume does not have to be too high and it sounds like it is not in a case. Protects the earphone and power connection when not in use.

Cons:  not water proof

Overall: great case, great price, great protection. Protects the phone well if it is dropped on any surface except in water. I would definitely recommend this case.

Loving Ulak Knox Armor

Ulak Patterned Wallet iPhone 6 case

I bought this case because it looks cute and has spots inside to hold debit card, drivers license and my College ID so I do not have to carry a big wallet and risk loosing everything at school.  It even has a place to put a couple of dollar bills. It came with a stylist pen and a hand strap.

Pros: can carry ID, debit card and some cash, and a wrist strap. protects screen and protection screen when in purse

Cons: difficult to hold and talk on the phone if you like to hold up to your ear. Stiff case, if you leave it open for 10 minutes it does not want to stay closed afterwards, if you leave it closed it does not want to stay open for any length of time. It was in my pocket when my phone rang, I went to answer and when I removed it from my pocket it switched the call to voicemail. There is no holder slot for the stylist pen so it keeps falling out in my purse.

I received this at a hugely discounted price. Amazon lists regular price at $19.99, but it was on sale for $8.99 at the time.

Ulak Imguard Edge Screen Protector

I received this Screen Protector for a hugely discounted cost for giving my honest opinion on Amazon.

This is a really nice and unique screen protector for iPhone 6 by ULAK. I have tried many screen protectors from the old plastic type with the dreaded bubble that you can never get out to the newer glass protectors. The glass is so much better, but most of them have a smaller fit then the actual phone, especially when it's a newer phone, they always have that half of a circle at the bottom and it only covers just to the edge of the glass and not the whole top of the phone therefore leaving a little space for scratches. With this screen protector you can even see how thick it is.

This ULAK screen protector is one of the best I have seen for iPhone 6 and it even has a new feature that I have never seen before, it is much thicker than normal. The ULAK protector covers the entire front of the phone screen area and leaves no little spaces for scratches and debris to get it there. It also has the full circle cutout for the button unlike many others and it lines up perfectly with all of the holes on the screen. Another great feature that they have added is that the outside edge has silicone all the way around it. I have never seen this before and I love it, it adds even more protection to the phone by covering the front completely and keeping the dirt and scratches out and off my original screen. I love it. 

The screen protector comes in nice packaging and inside they include pads to clean the screen prior to putting on the new protector so you can remove any oils and dirt left behind, there is a nice thick microfiber cleaning cloth and a little plastic paddle type thing I guess to remove a bubble or just help get it on flat and straight, since the bubbles get rid of themselves once you place the protector on the screen. They also included a black screen that you put on first and then remove to get any dust or dirt off first. This is a really nice phone protector set and the glass seems of good quality. I love it and recommend trying this one out for your self it's worth it. Keeping my screen scratch free and like new. I love the fact that you can feel the screen protector is on it. Only down side is that it makes it difficult to use if you put it in an enclosed case.

Ulak Knox Arrmor for iPhone 6

I received this case at a hugely discounted cost for giving my honest opinion of it on Amazon. Before you think this is the iPad case. I picked to have the same color on both the iPad and my iPhone.

When i first got this case it seemed like others that i have gotten before. There was only 1 difference. This one was thinner, it is made of a hard plastic case that is coated with a rubber/elastic material. It is also, like the iPad case, extremely tight fit. 

This has been dropped many a time, I admit I am a klutz. I have dropped it on every surface around me, cement driveway, hardwoods, carpeted concrete floors, ceramic tile floors, and even stairs. It covers all sides of your phone, including a built in face plate that can serve as a screen protector. I have noticed that compared to other cases of its size that it has better volume when playing music through speaker. it has direct access to the phones speakers and doesn't muffle the sound like many other cases like it, but it is also not waterproof. It features tabs that plug up each outlet on your phone, and the tabs are strong and won't fall off because of frequent use. The only problem i have had is that i have found that the tabs work almost too well. On occasions it has been troublesome trying to access the mute switch. Other then this one small problem this is an excellent case. It will protect your phone through every ding and dent you put it through. I would definitely recommend this case to anyone who is afraid that they could drop and crack their precious phone. It doesn't work well if you have a thick screen protector on it. If you do have a thick screen protector on, it will cause what seems like dead spots on the screen and you have to press hard in certain areas to get it to respond.

Like the iPad case, this case is textured, and you can kind of see the texture pattern here. I helps it grip surfaces but if the surface is like backpacks, it lets it slide easily.

Amazon lists its regular prices at $29.99 but when I bought it, it was $10.99. As long as you are not afraid that you will drop your phone in the commode, then this case is perfect. It has a texture surface so it will not slip on slick surfaces.

Ulak Knox Armor for iPad

I received this case at a hugely discounted price for giving my review of the product on Amazon. 

This case is thinner than other cases I have had. It protects just as well as the more expensive cases. Both my son and I have dropped my iPad while in this case, of course it was always on accident, and on different types of surfaces. 

I love the kickstand. It is great when my son has to go to school with me and needs entertainment, I can play his movies and have it stand up on the table so he doesn't keep knocking it over. 

My last case was a silicone cover and it would snag going in and out of my backpack for school, which would cause problems if I was in a hurry to pack up to get to the next class or so I could leave to go pick my son up from his school. It has a nice variety of colors.

The case is a tight fit, but it protects it well and very light weight. Unlike other cases I have had, it is textured making it easier to grip and keeps it from slipping off angled surfaces. This case easily slides  in and out of the pocket in my backpack without snagging and causing issues.

Unless you want something that is water proof, etc. You can not beat the protection and the slimness of Ulak, especially if you are on a tight budget. Amazon lists this case with a regular price of $39.99, but when I bought it, it was on sale for $18.99. I checked and as of today it is on sale for $17.99.
