Should have gone with Mophie
on June 2, 2016
Posted by: darren77th
from orange county
Well I went with this case onyl because they did not have the color mophie I wanted and figured Lifeproof had a good reputation so why not give it a try. It is an attractive heavy durable case which is a good plus. I really feel like I could throw in accross the livingroom against a wall and it would survive. I havent tried the waterproof feature and nor will I either beacuse now we get to the major flaw with this unit that is a deal breaker for me and is why I will be returning it after just 4 days. The battery feature is HORRIBLE. Yes it says you get double the battery life, which I saw is highly suspect, but it takes FOREVER to charge. I have tried 3 times now to charge the unit. No I am not over exgagerating here with what I am about to say. If you have used up both the phone and case battery you will need almost 11 hours to fully charge both. That is complete uselessness. There is no way I should be able to plug this thing in right before bed, then wake up have breafast, take a shower get changed and still only have the pack 85 percent charged. If your primary reson for getting the case is for protection then maybe this is fine for you, but if you got it primarily for the extra battery run from this prodect as faast as you can and go with something else.

The art of war may be thousands of years old, but on the battlegrounds of the future combat has become a big business.

In this new age of privatized combat, one PMC stands at the forefront of the industry, the juggernaut Atlas Corporation. Founded and led by Jonathan Irons, perhaps the most powerful man in the world, Atlas Corporation represents the evolution of modern combat. Under the oversight of Irons and men like him, the rules of warfare have been completely rewritten, and national borders change with the demands of the highest bidders. Do you have what it takes to navigate this ever-changing military landscape and answer the Call of Duty?The latest installment in the popular combat series, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare plunges you into the combat of the future, orchestrated and fought by PMCs with the latest technology in armor, weaponry and tactics. Enter the world of Jonathan Irons ~ the founder and president of the world's most dominant PMC, Atlas Corporation ~ in a powerful performance by Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey. Step onto the battlefield in a powerful exoskeleton that provides a massive force multiplier, delivers strategic freedom and enhances even the most adept soldier's abilities with optimized movement, jumping and grappling, covert cloaking abilities and biomechanics that take your strength, awareness, endurance and speed to the next level. Destroy opposing forces with an advanced arsenal that allows you to dominate the battlefield and all-new equipment, abilities and perks that put you at the forefront of combat technology. Conduct missions with hoverbikes, highly specialized drones and other new vehicles that enhance your mobility. Attack enemy forces with tried-and-true standard ammunition or step up your assault with new directed-energy weapons. The future of war is upon you ~ are you ready to play your part?

Massive Disappointment
on December 11, 2014
Posted by: darren77th

Ok first off let me tell you ], I have been a COD fan from the start. I have always found this series of games superior to the Battlefield series. I have defended COD to the end even if the graphics might have been better in Battlefield. But this is a shameful mess of a game. Sure the game looks nice but really, jump packs. Yes jump packs and eco suits. The single player game is fine i guess, but the multiplayer is another animal altogether. I have always loved the multi-player aspect of COD. NO LONGER. I have up after 3 matches. All it is now is jet packing jumping all over the place with no realism at all. I mean if i want to play a quality sci-fi game I'll play a far superior Halo game. That is basically what this franchise has now turned into, a substandard Halo game. Look if i wanted fantasy i would play Halo. But i don't i want a good realistic war game. I really HATE this game. This is the last COD game ill play It was a good ride.

The highly advanced iPhone 5s features the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, a new 8MP iSight camera, a new FaceTime HD camera, ultrafast LTE wireless, iOS 7, and iCloud. Yet it's as thin and light as ever.

So happy I made the switch

I have been in the android camp since my first Droid 2. Since then I have owned 3 different android phones from differnt companies (HTC, Motorola, and Samsung). I have lived through the constant annoyances of haveing to take apart the phone in order to take the battery out to reset it........constantly. Had the probalem with EVERY android phone with HTC being the absolute worst of the bunch. I also had to do deal with viruses from various apps I downloaded. My list of gripes go on and on. Any real android user if honest with themselvs will tell you the same. I kept telling myself it was worth it, that there was way more I could do with it and I always looked as Apple users like there were a bunch of weirdos standing in line to get a phone.......a phone of all things, I mean it was substandard to what I had .........right.
If I only knew what a know now, I would have jumped ship a loooooong time ago (Still didn't stand in line though). First of all the sheer beauty of this device is stunning. Its light, thin, and just feels like a well pu together phone. It really is a shame to have to put it in a case though, but I'm not stupid it has to be done. The set up with insainly easy to do and I did it myself. It was intuative and I it almost felt like I have been using iphones forever. The screen is amazing. The color and detail of the pictures that I have taken with it our better than any other phone I have had. Even pictures downloaded from my HTC Resound look better that they did on that phone.
The fingerprint scanner works like a charm. As you use the phone more and more to do things is asks you if you want to use the scanner to serve as a password, which is great when making purchases at the App store and Itunes, its all just a finger print away. This is by far my favorite feature so far. Just looking at all things I can get in the app store, and I can see just how much these phones can really do.
Call quality is awsome. Its crystal clear and I have had no dropped calls. Also I am receiving ALL of my calls unlike android phones which routenly missed calls and when I say miss I mean like the call was never made.
The only thing that might be construed as not the greatest is the battery life. Its getts me through the day, but thats about it. But it is still way better than andoid phone which would get me through half the day.
You will not go wrong with this phone. If you are contemplating between another android phone........DON'T. Make the jump you will be glad you did. Other iphone users, time to upgrade you will love it.

I really like the this series. The game has a very cinimatic feel to it. It really puts you in the game. YOu feel a wide range of emotions. You will have no problems replaying the game over and over.
Now the bad. The multi player is HORRIBLE. The move of the characters is sooooooooo slow. The only way to move fast is to sommersault all over the place, or duck and running making precision movement terrible. Shooting on the move yea right. If you are buying this just for the mutl player, save your money and stick with Halo.
What's great about it: story line, graphics, repeat playability
What's not so great: multiplayer is horrible

not all that

I purchased this game based on all the other reviews. I was soooooo disappointed. I usually like games like these, but I didn't like it much. Its story line is confusing and the game play is very redundant. You are always running out of ammo. you die real easy. Later levels it takes a lot of ammo just to kill anyone. Because of the money I spent, I forced myself to finish the game and boy was I happy when it ended. It could have ended any faster. I guess I should not have played Mass Effect first.
What's great about it: great graphics
What's not so great: redundant, confusing story line

Get a piece of the action in Battlefield Hardline, a fresh, new take on Battlefield that allows you to live out your cops and criminal fantasy. Combining an emotionally driven single-player story inspired by popular TV crime dramas, and an all-out-war multiplayer on the streets of Los Angeles and Miami, Hardline delivers the most complete FPS on the market.

Are you for real. Have you even played the latest COD game. Its a horrific version of Halo. Ive been a COD fan and supporter forever unit this last game. I hate it. The multi-player is ruined for ever. All it is, is guys jump packing everywhere. I hate to say it but Battlefield is my new go to game now

Does the TouchID work with this case? For example, does it unlock with the fingerprint scanner when the case is on? Thanks!

Yes it does. I even have a screen protector on it underneth and I do not notice any difference in functionality.
