It was a very good timing for me when Targus sent over a protective casing for iPhone 5. At least for a few days I don’t need to buy casing for my iPhone 5. Targus for one is a quality maker of laptop bags, but they already went into making accessories for Apple products as well. We already had the review of the Targus slim case for iPad mini which you can check in this post. Today, we present to you our review of the TARGUS SLIDER CASE (with compression-fit) for iPhone 5.
Buying an iPhone 5 is hard decision to make because its a premium item from Apple and its price is not affordable at all. So you next expenditure after buying iPhone 5 is focused on the accessories that will protect your phone. The very basic is a casing that will protect the iPhone.
Targus came up with several casing and one of these is the Slider Casing with compression-fit feature. The casing provides all around edge-protection with your iPhone 5, no single edge is exposing therefore the small accidental bumps that you make to your iPhone does not make any damage at all.
One challenge when buying a casing for the iPhone is installing it, some casing you buy from stores in Greenhills is sometimes hard to install it in your iPhone, you might accidentally slip the phone causing it to easily crash.
The case is so slim that you will not notice your iPhone has additional thickness when you install it. The interior rubber bumper retrain little shock waves from accidental drops or bumps to prevent potential damage to your iPhone.
I like the idea of Targus protecting the entire iPhone 5 yet, the phone feels not so bulky still. What I noticed with my case is the finish, it was not so smooth on the edges. I have to check other colors because my unit might not the final unit that is in the stores.
The entire phone is covered, all edges are protected which is definitely your objective to protect your most precious iPhone5.
Un-installing it (forgive me for the term, I can’t think of any word for putting it to protect your iPhone), is very easy, the slim slider case comes in different colors too, you can check Targus Facebook page, they have all the colors there.
What is there not to like the Slider Case for iPhone 5 if the price is so affordable, I guess it is priced just right at P1,299.
In case you are interested in getting one, the Slider Case for iPhone 5 by Targus is already available in major Apple stores nationwide. I was informed that you can get it at all Powermac branches; A-Shop: Eastwood, The Fort, Glorietta; Switch Alabang Town Center and U.P. Diliman; Games & Gadgets; Robinsons Appliance Magnolia, Ermita, Pioneer and Palawan; SM Appliance Center: Rockwell, Megamall; i-Center SM Davao, Gaisano Mall of Davao and Abreeza Mall; i-Store: SM Cebu, Ayala Cebu, Dumaguete, Cagayan De Oro and Digiital Hub Cagayan de Oro.
