Paradigm® Pro Heat Regulating Case for iPhone 14 Pro

I don’t remember when I started using BodyGuardz cases and screen protectors, but there are few products that have retained my loyalty for so long. Their Performance Pro case is just another reason for my loyalty - it’s a sturdy, well-constructed case with great features. The lanyard is very helpful - it’s prevented dropping my case and made it easier to carry many things on more than one occasion. The kickstand? I’m still getting used to it - this is the first case I have had with one. But, it’s nice to be able to look at the screen in portrait or landscape mode without having to hold it, or worry about having to constantly reposition the device, or have the device constantly falling. Speaking of falling… I had the same model case with my iPhone 16 Pro Max (without the kickstand) and there were a few times I dropped it - including while I was running, meaning it hit the ground, slid on pavement, and bumped into things - hard - but, here’s the thing: It kept my phone protected. I was able to trade in my phone for the maximum value because my phone still worked perfectly and it didn’t have a scratch on it. And, to be honest, after all that, the case itself barely had even a scratch and I was able to give it to someone else. This case is the same sturdy quality as my last case so I expect the same great experience. I’m sure I’ll buy more cases and screen protectors as phone models change, but I can’t imagine them not being made by BodyGuardz.

I was drawn to buy this case because of the air vents. I figured the kickstand and lanyard capabilities might come in handy at some point. The biggest disappointment was the case feels totally plastic and cheap. It is a rigid case and although it has a sandy type back, it feels slick like it could definitely fall out of your pocket. I wish they had used a more rubbery or silicone type material to give a little softness to it and feel more grippy. I haven't decided whether I need to return it or not, but I'm not a fan like I thought I'd be. If they could improve the outside material, the case could be a home run with the air vents. More color choices would be a plus too.
