Got my Incipio level 5 case from UPS today - Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories

today I got my level 5 performance series case from Incipio today.
Anyways so far I like the case a lot compared to my Otterbox Defender. The case is very durable but thinner and more sleek than the Defender. The holster is top notch and premium as well granted I never use the holsters with my cases but some might like it.
The built in screen protector also fits very tight to the screen too and the home button on the bottom of the protector has a plastic frame all around it but doesn't affect using the finger print scanner. It looks like less dust will get under this due to it being tighter and really no gaps near the home screen for dirt to get under.
The only downside to the built in protector like the Otterbox Defender it's not very clear. granted it is a lot more responsive than the Defender though and has no rainbow effect. Not impressed by the clarity but not really much out there right now to protect the screen.
Only other downside I see is the speaker volume is a little softer due to the protector covering it.
Overall I say this is a great case. However you might want to look at the Level 4 because Amazon has the white case for about 31 bucks if you want to use your own tempered glass and not have a built in protector because otherwise the level 4 is almost the same thickness as the level 5 but maybe with a bit less of a raised edge around the screen.

Nice, thanks for the pictures. Is the back grippy or a hard plastic?

i wouldn't say a hard plastic but more of a soft, matte finish.
I really dig the case except the built in screen protector sucks just like the otterbox defenders does. This one might be worse but it is far more responsive and tight to the screen.
If there would have been good tempered glass protectors out there I would have simply bought the level 4 case which doesn't have the built in protector and is only 27 bucks now on amazon.

Just wanted to bump the thread. Got this case today and it is really good. The white and black are on sale for $25 at Walmart and Amazon. I agree that the screen protector is responsive but the clarity is horrible. I don't care as much about screen protection so I just popped the screen protector off the front cover - solves that problem. I can always add a screen protector directly to the screen later on. The feel of the case is very good in hand and is the best "protective" case I've tried for the S7, better than the Poetic and Supcase ones, at least.
I highly recommend this case especially at $25.

The other issue I don't like is the audio is muffled due to that section being covered. When using my Otterbox or Supcase the audio is a lot louder than the Incipio.
I saw Amazon knocked the price down. Otherwise I'd say order the level 4 protector from Amazon if you don't want the screen protector then. Still rated for 13ft drop (I never trust drop ratings) and is cheaper than level 5. On the level 4 the audio sounds louder too. I'm guessing because it doesn't have port covers or a screen protector more sound can escape through the case. I might just go back to my level 4 vs the Otterbox Defender since I keep getting dirt under the screen and go naked on teh screen.
