Let me start by saying this case is a total vibe. The Desert Titanium color has this electroplated metallic shimmer that catches the light beautifully—it’s like carrying a tiny disco ball, but classy. I was skeptical about the glitter card at first, but sliding it in transformed my phone into a personalized accessory. Bonus: the wrist strap isn’t just cute; it’s saved me from at least three near-drops while juggling coffee.

The MagSafe magnets? *Chef’s kiss.* They’re strong enough to hold my phone vertically on my car vent mount during bumpy rides, and wireless charging works flawlessly—no awkward repositioning. The raised edges (4mm around the camera, 1mm on the screen) gave me peace of mind when I (repeatedly) face-planted my phone on my desk. Though fair warning: those lens rings do collect lint like they’re paid to.

Included screen protectors were a pleasant surprise—crystal-clear and bubble-free during application. The case itself hasn’t yellowed after weeks of use, though the metallic edges show minor scuffs from my clumsiness. Pro tip: Skip the rubber lanyard if you have long nails; threading it felt like solving a Rubik’s cube blindfolded.

Downsides? It’s slicker than I expected—I added a pop socket for grip. And while the design screams ‘luxe,’ those with minimalist tastes might find the glitter overwhelming. But for anyone wanting protection with personality (and two free screen protectors!), this case delivers. Just maybe practice your ‘oops-I-dropped-my-phone-but-it’s-fine-now’ smirk beforehand.
