However, the sharp edge around the inside of the case lifted the "Case Friendly" KX screen protector enough to force some debris under the protector which took some concerted effort to remove with Magic Mending Tape. All is good as of now.
I would suggest that anyone using the case with the KX screen protector take fine sandpaper and round the inner edge of the case to prevent it from being lifted by the case edge.
I would further suggest that the manufacturer change the profile of the inner lip around the screen opening to a round profile to prevent this occurrence. Another enhancement would be to make the power button mounting more flexible as you need to actually push the top of the case downward to activate the iphone power button
I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from NewerTech NuGuard KX. Color: Darkness. X-treme Protection for Your iPhone 5/5S.
