Hard shell cases accept their advantages but when you deport a Windows Phone with a slide-out keyboard, such as the Touch Pro ii or Tilt 2, the choices tin can be slim to none. Smartphone Experts offers their Protective Instance that might just do the fox if y'all're a fan of hard trounce cases.

The cases are offered in pinkish, smoke or clear. The sleek cases aren't for everyone and to run into if the Protective Case is for you, follow the intermission.

Beginning Impression

For this review, I took the clear version of the Protective Case out for a test drive with the AT&T Tilt ii. The case is made of durable plastic that has a little flexibility to information technology. The Protective Case is composed of two parts, both snap in identify with tiny picayune tabs that wrap around the base of operations (keyboard) and top (screen) of the Tilt2.

The case snaps in identify securely but the tabs are so small-scale you may miss putting ane in place correctly. If you miss one of the snap tabs, the case will be a little loosey-goosey. I retrieve if the snap tabs were a niggling larger, it would exist easier to snap the case into place. As is, it just takes a petty effort to insure proper fit.

Cut outs are in place to accommodate the ability, volume and PTT keys. The back of the case has cut-out to accommodate the photographic camera, speaker and mute buttons as well.

Performance

I was a little skeptical on how well the Protective Case would work out on a sliding keyboard phone. I was pleasantly surprised that the case didn't interfere with the sliding or screen tilt of the Tilt2.

The Protective Case does a skilful job of protecting the Tilt2 from scratches, dents and dings. The obvious weakness of the case is that the screen is fully exposed. Add a SPE Screen protector and yous'll help compensate for the loss.

The Tilt two isn't exactly the virtually "pocketable" Windows Phone but I can run into the Protective Example being useful if you carry the Impact Pro/Tilt2 in a backpack pouch, briefcase compartment or jacket pocket.

Overall Impression

The maxim goes, "different strokes for dissimilar folks" and the Smartphone Experts Protective Example isn't for anybody. It's well fabricated, designed to piece of work well with the sliding keyboard pattern of the Impact Pro 2 or Tilt2 and comes in three trendy colors.

Personally, I need protection not just for the phone's casing but also for the phone's screen and prefer a side case such as the Ecolife Sidecase or the Body Glove Sidecase.

Withal, if hard shell cases are to your liking, the Smartphone Experts Protective Case ($12.95) would be a good choice.
