The Magpul Bump Case for the iPhone is my ideal protective case for my everyday carry smart phone. THE GOOD: the design is based on the iconic Magpul magazines is a real eye pleaser for many, the case provides a very thin profile design which makes it comfortable to fit in you back pocket or phone case and takes up little to no room. The material provides great grip when holding it and best part is it will provide a nice battle weathered look, but the surface is resistant to scratches. I regularly drop my phone onto the ground and this case has protected it from all the bumps. The access ports for the charging port, vibrate mode, camera lens, and speakers are all very well designed to provide easy access. THE BAD: the thing that I dislike most on this latest design for the iPhone X is the sensitivity of the volume and power button. They are so easy to activate that I regularly find myself accidentally pressing it when handling the phone. This results in multiple unintended power off/on, screen shots, and the like. But like most fi****ms in the Magpul world, this maybe just a training issue. The bezel around the screen is not the tallest. It’s still higher than the screen and will protect you screen (with screen protector) when places face down. But it just isn’t as tall as some other design (which also helps in the thin profile design). Finally (and this may just affect me), I use a magnetic mount in my car for my phone mount, so I typically place a thin piece of steel on the inside backing of the case to hold the phone to the magnetic mount. Because of the ribbed Magpul Case design, the magnet doesn’t have a strong magnetic hold on the phone (compared to my older cases which have a thinner flat backing and worked fine). But overall, this is still my favorite phone case when I head out the door everyday!
