Have you been looking for a unique case that is stylish,
convenient, and can still protect your average joe drops? Well your search is
over. The Graft Concepts Leverage Case is an amazing bumper or case that is
held together with a latch. It works quite simple; the fastener is at the top
and holds the polycarbonate sides together and the backplate on. The fastener
folds downs and becomes part of the case. While skeptics say the case will come
undone, the case will never come unlatched. On top of that, the lever goes over
the top right of the phone to make for a cool sleek looking sleep button. These
features combined make a great argument to be one my personal favorite.
The main feature of the Graft Concepts Leverage is the latch.
It is the showpiece of the case. Right from the start, snapping the case into
place made it feel great. The wake/sleep button that the case provides is
sturdy but requires more of a press than the case-less iPhone. It is
aesthetically pleasing and can still fulfill the same response when pressing
the phone’s button. One other feature that does not need to be over looked is
the back plate. While some companies give a sticker back plate, the Graft Concepts back plate is a legitimate plate. The same plastic used in making the
case is used in the plate. It is not flexible, very firm, and flits securely
when latched together. The case comes in black or white; the latch can come in
chrome or matte. The new glossy white case looks great and just goes to show
how the company listens to their users to provide the best product available.
As far as build quality goes, this case was completely
thought through. Made with nice soft plastic (or glossy if you have the white
case) and a metal latch, the Graft Leverage is surprisingly sturdy and protects
your phone like any other bumper/case. Obviously, the case is more of a fashion
statement than a body protector, but it will get the job done once or twice if
you drop it. As far as clearance for the 30-pin connector, the headphone, and volume
buttons, this case is like most others. The connector will take few 3rd
party chargers. The best bet is to strictly stay with apple’s charger cord. The
headphone jack is also quite tight. While the case can handle many headphone
jacks, not all will work for sure.
Two things need to be noted about the Leverage. First, is that
the company used to have problems with the lever (the top part, where it
latched to the phone) scratching the top of the aluminum band around the phone.
When the lever is clamped in, it would leave the slightest mark. This was
resolved within a few weeks of the problem being noted. Recipients who found
scratched bands were given 50% off any GC products. I have not noticed this
occurring with my case at all. Second, is that the lever is held together with
small metal rod. This could mean that it will break with little force. In the unique
situation that anything would happen to the case, the company has a 1-year
warranty that they stand beside.
Any serious iPhone user looking for a unique and elegant
case should consider the Graft Concepts Leverage Case. It rivals any other with
a great feel in your hand for half of the price of other. The case is one of my
personal favorites for any occasion, and can be purchased straight from GraftConcepts for $50. The versatility of the bumper or case provides for a terrific
experience.
Because I received a Black and White case from GraftConcepts, I am going to give both of them away. The stipulations are a little
different than the other giveaway that I hosted. If there is no way for me to

ReplyDeleteWhen you say "re-tweet" your post once a day, how can I re-tweet your post when I can only re-tweet your post one time for every post you make? Do I just copy your post and just tweet it myself once a day?
