Caseology Athlex Protective Case Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S23 FE Case [Military Grade Drop Tested](2023) - Active Black

I have had this case since I purchased my phone it has survived multiple two three feet falls with no issues

Fits great, appears it will protect good and is not super bulky like others. I had one on my s20 for years and it's still holding up well. Highly recommend caseology!

Needs more of a bezel around the screen. It would be worth 5 stars if it did.

nice case

Fits well and provides good protection.

I like this case a lot. I've been using mine for over a year and feel that it's one of the better cases I've used as far as being slim but offering real protection with a hard cover. The grippiness is a definite plus. Because of the grip, it feels more secure to hold and is therefore more comfortable to use. The textured surface also adds visual appeal above a plain case. As far as functionality, everything works well with holes in the right locations and no obstruction with charging. The phone has survived a few minor drops without any cracks or scratches, but I haven't had any serious drops. Overall, this is a great case at a reasonable price.

Update: the grip prevents dropping when it's in your hand, but if you jump over a fence with the phone in an open cargo pocket, it'll survive a fall onto bricks from about 4 feet with no scratches or damage whatsoever (don't ask me how I know this haha).This Athlex case feels like a premium slim TPU case but at a great price of only $16 at the time of this review.I also received a Caseology Parallax case through Vine (check out my other review for details), but in summary, I think both cases are great options, but this Athlex case offers the slightest bit more on the protective angle, and slightly less on the appearance (although beauty is in the eye of the beholder).This case has a nice rugged, textured appearance and feel (exactly as the product photos show) and feels very high quality--there were no rough edges or imperfections anywhere on the unit I received. The little textured dimples on the sides of the case will prevent you from dropping the case... even with wet hands. I mean you'd have to deliberately drop it to have it slip out of your hand... this is the single most positive grip on any phone case I've ever owned. I'm not exaggerating. For $16, just to have a decent appearance and all but make slips from the hand impossible, I'd give this a solid 5 stars alone. But there's other reasons you should consider this case...I'm not going to test and verify the 26x drop protection from 4 feet that is claimed (sorry haha), but it does feel solid and has little dimple air pockets inside each of the corners (like the Parallax case) that in my experience with other phones/cases helps soften the blow of a drop right on the corners. Unlike the Parallax, this Athex case also has a yellow thin foam ring around the interior of case where the back of the phone would be. I'm assuming they tested that foam in this area will help if it lands on its back, but I can't know for sure. It does feel the tiniest bit more protective than the Parallax, and while the grip texture of the Parallax is very good, these Athex dimples are amazing. I don't know how it would stack up to a super thick multi-layer case, but between the corner air pockets and amazing side grip texture, I think you'll be well covered (and without sacrificing the slim feel of the phone).Like the Parallax, the cut-outs are generously large, and will fit even a large USB-C thumb drive without removing the case (due to the small phone microphone holes on either end of the USB-C port making this cut-out nice and large).Update: both cases fit the phone snugly and well, I don't think you could go wrong with either case! And I'm almost positive that you won't find any $16 case that offers a better grip with some drop protection like this one does. I love this Athlex case!

Nice case for a nice price. I don't like bulky cases that increase the size of my phone substantially, and this one fits the bill. Easy to slip on and provides edge, corner, screen and camera protection. By screen and camera protection I mean that the case is raised on the edges and protects them by being higher than they are. The tri-camera on this phone sits way above the actual phone, so it sits awkwardly without a case. This case raises the profile of the phone to the level of the camera, so it can lay flat on a surface, and it does so without causing the phone to be extremely thick. On the opposite side, the case has a lip that prevents the screen from contact with a surface when laid face down. The case has a gritty feel to it making it easy to keep a hold of. Side buttons do not stick out very far, so sometimes I fumble to figure out which side is which when I pick it up without looking at it.... but not s big deal. All holes are big enough to get your charger and such plugged in. Highly recommended.
