Reflex Otterbox iPhone 5 case review

In the protection series
iPhone, Otterbox, the specialized American manufacturer offers very
varied.

We have already been able to discover thevery
resistant Defender tested there, theCommuter plus
light tested hereethere is the Reflex for iPhone
5.

This range presents itself unlike the previous ones asa
single-layer protection, but made up oftwo materials
differentto protect the iPhone from scratches and bumps.

The iPhone 4/4S version did not convince us 100%
in the test published here…

What does the iPhone 5 version of the Otterbox Reflex case have in store for us?
sold here?

Onward for a discovery in images and our summary on the choice of a
case at Otterbox now that the entire range has been tested:

The hull is made up of two parts and is accompanied by a
screen protector to stick on the iPhone.

It is made by fusing both rigid plastic and part
flexible which particularly covers the corners and buttons. This part will act as
a shock absorber in the event of an impact.

Installation is quick and easy. This was the main concern with the
previous version, it was very difficult to put on. This is no longer the case,
both parts slide smoothly onto the iPhone and yet
remain very well adjusted once in place.

The whole thing is compact and forms a homogeneous whole in the hand.

The classic openings are provided: for the camera, but
also for speakers, microphone and Lightning jack.

In use, everything works well, the hold is rather pleasant, only the support
on the start button on the upper edge appeared a little more
difficult to push in. nothing serious but you should know if you use it
often, the same for the side buttons.

The corners are made of soft rubber to cushion falls
possible:

In the end, Otterbox has undoubtedly solved the problems of the generation
previous one (it was the first for this range) and provides very
secure, not too bulky (without being as thin as
the one tested here for example) which will undoubtedly absorb shocks and
can be put on and taken off quickly and easily.

Across the entire range of Otterbox iPhone 5 cases, this one appeared
as the most versatile: ensuring good protection
without disfiguring the machine. In the end, we will prefer it toThe version
Commuterwhich suddenly becomes a little redundant in the range, while being
more expensive. ThereDefender
it is designed for much more difficult conditions and is therefore not
comparable.
