good quality production, unique smoky, carbon tint, yet smudges easily

pros: first off, pretty good price from mobilefun, which is what led me to purchase. from the start, the carbon tint really stands out. it gives a smoky, clear appearance that reminds of smoked-out car headlights. adds a subtle, unique appearance to my Xr that I dont see around and turned out exactly as expected.
a very sturdy case featuring 'bulletshield' protection. absolutely satisfied w/ that. i have no doubts my phone will stay protected from drops, and this case will last beyond the life of the phone.
also, the ribbed sides add protection all round for the sides of phone and the right amount of slight raised edge for screen protection from drops.
my tempered glass screen protector is not full edge so cannot say if case works w/ those types of screen protectors. my recommendation would be not to get full edge-to-edge ones to ensure proper fitment.
I have handled slimmer iphone cases so this one feels just slightly bulkier in-hand but no complaints w/ overall size and fitment. all else fits accurately as far as buttons and speaker and lightning connector.
cons: same as other reviews I've seen. it is impossible to keep the case smudge-free from holding. must be due to the plastic or finish on it to pick up oil from skin, so expect there to always be hand smudges on it unless it is wiped down.
lastly, it has a slick feel to it, which is probably the reason for easy smudging, so the grip plus rounded edges on it isn't the best grip I've experienced compared to other cases. it's not just slipping right out of my hands but something you will notice.
overall, purchase case if you value the quality of material for protection and subtle, smoky carbon appearance over the constant, easy smudging and slick grip.
