NuGuard KX for iPhone 6/6s - Black

NewerTech NuGuard KX

KX for iPhone 6/6s also available in: blue, midnight and red
Kinetic energy x-orbing protective case provides security and style without bulk.
Massive Impact Protection
NuGuard KX cases use state-of-the-art x-orbing gel technology to absorb and evenly distribute kinetic energy. This revolutionary gel technology allows KX cases to be just a fraction of the size of bulkier protective cases while offering the massive impact protection NuGuard KX is known for.
Design That's More Than Skin Deep
The NuGuard KX Edge Guard over-molding provides enhanced iPhone screen edge protection without interfering with edge-to-edge touch finger accessibility to ensure hassle-free touch keyboarding and ability to drag and organize app icons from screen to screen. Best of all the KX measures an incredible 1/2" thin (including phone) so it can still easily fit in your pocket.
Full Port Access + Great Grip
Precision cutouts allow for full access to all of the iPhone 6/6s ports and buttons, and NuGuard KX's one-piece design makes installation a breeze. A unique cross hatch texture design on the back and sides of the case ensures a sturdy and strong grip while smooth front edge rails allow for easy pocket removal.
The strongest case also deserves the strongest warranty, with a best-in-class replacement lifetime guarantee.

Rating: 5/5 Got this for my daughter's phone December 8, 2017 My daughter needed a better, more reliable case for her iPhone 6. I've been using these for several years and have been very happy with them. Wanted my daughter's phone to have the same reliable protection. It was a no brainer.

Rating: 5/5 Great NuGaurd KX easer November 28, 2017 I purchased this case after my iPhone 6 slipped out of my hand and landed on concrete. Screen shattered! Case fits perfectly and looks to provide extremely good protection. I really like the grip surface. This one won't slip. Surprisingly, the iPhone with the case just slips into my horizontal leather belt holster. A good tight fit, that won't accidentally fall out. I would highly recommend this case protection.

Rating: 5/5 Great case! October 18, 2017 I purchased a set of these for my wife and me. They are a little chunkier than the thinner Apple case I was used to, but you quickly get used to it. I now feel more confident holding it (I mean that it feels like there is no what it would slip out of my hand). And if it does fall or drop, I am confident this case will give it the best odds of survival!

Rating: 5/5 Finally Protected March 27, 2017 I took a chance and did not use any type of protection for my iPhone. Each time I had it in my hand I thought this could be the time I drop it or somehow it gets damaged. Finally I wised up and got the NewerTech NuGuard KX. I saw all the other options and determined I could do no better than NewerTech. To date I have yet to drop it, but you know that day will come and I am ready. I was expecting the new protection to feel like a brick. It is very light and feels good in my hand.

Rating: 2/5 Good, but iPhone5 version is better February 22, 2017 This case seems to fit a little loose along the long edge of the phone; if you squeeze the phone with light pressure it reveals the case does not mold very well to the phone permitter. Furthermore, the external upsets for the volume and sleep/wake buttons are difficult to locate without visual direction (in a dark room). I have the iPhone5 version of this case and it is terrific in all of the ways the iPhone6 version isn't. I miss the felt lining from the previous version as this one omits it. Also, the front glass protection is decent but, again, on previous version was better. I wish they would have kept the previous design and just adjusted it to fit the new iPhone footprint. The case adds noticeable weight to the phone.

Rating: 5/5 A Great iPhone case! January 5, 2017 Previous reviewers of this case have mentioned that it is much better than the Otter case. They understated the ranking: it is much, Much, MUCH better than the competitor. Easy to install the phone, but holds it securely. Protects the phone very well. The phone controls on the side of the phone are perfectly accessible and not bulky or stiff.

I got a Midnight Blue case to distinguish it from the ubiquitous black cases, and is distinctive but not flashy - very professional in appearance. Would definitely purchase this case again or give it as a gift.

Rating: 5/5 Second time around December 23, 2016 Have had one on my iPhone for over a year. Its been accidentally dropped from shoulder to hip high onto concrete and the phone & cover have no ill effects whatsoever. Ordered a second one for the wife's phone when she grew tired of the bulk/weight of her brand x cover. Amazing protection from such a thin cover.

Rating: 5/5 Highly recommended November 11, 2016 I bought a NuGuard case for my iPhone 5 and when I got my 6 there was no question about what case I should buy. After receiving the NuGuard iPhone 6 case I was not disappointed, I can confirm all of NewerTech's claims about how good this case is, it is pricy but worth every cent (or in this case dollar). For a highly protective case it is very slim and has a better grip then the previous version (iPhone 5 case). This improved grip however does not make it difficult to get in or out of tight jean pockets! All the buttons and stuff is easily accessible and the camera is not blocked by the case.It feels good in the hand. The only critic is that there wasn't quite as big a choice of colours like with the iPhone 5 case. All in all, the search is over, this is your next iPhone 6 case.

Rating: 5/5 It fits my needs exactly. November 8, 2016 When I received my iPhone 6S, the immediate thing I noticed was how thin and slippery it was. Trying to pick up the phone was like trying to pick up a dime--not exactly easy. The phone was also smooth and slides easily in my hand. This case made picking up the phone super easy and secure so I don't fear dropping it.

Rating: 5/5 Best Grip October 6, 2016 The grip you get while holding your phone in the KX case is amazing. Very unlikely to ever slip out of your hand. If it does, this case seems like it will protect the phone from almost any conceivable impact. Great price too. I cannot bring myself to buy a sleek new phone and then wrap it in a case that more than doubles the size. This slim case gets the job done.

Rating: 5/5 Buying iPhone cases sight unseen can be tough... September 9, 2016 Buying iPhone cases sight unseen can be tough. It's difficult to gauge size, dimensions, quality, and fit. And I hate bulky cases, but equally hate having an iPhone unprotected. So I received this case a few days ago, and it is perfect. It adds a little bulk, but still fits well in my pants pocket. It feels great in the hand, and the raised edge around the screen gives a whole lot of certainty that if I was to drop it, I have some protection there that might reduce the risk of a cracked screen.

The quality and features of the case are great, and the price is right. Very happy.

Rating: 4/5 Only case I trust with my iPhone. July 17, 2016 I have used KX Cases since the iPhone 5s and have recommended it to many friends because it is the best case I have ever used. So getting the new case for the iPhone 6s was a no brainer. I never worry about accidentally dropping my phone because I know the case will protect the phone every time. The case is slim and feels great in the hand. There are only a few little changes to the iPhone 6 case which I am not too happy about. The mute button on the left side is a little difficult to operate with my big fingers. Also plugging the phone in when it is dark can be a little tricky. And lastly I would prefer if Apple logo cut out wasn't there as it was with the earlier cases. I used to hide a $20 bill behind the phone as emergency cash which I now can't do anymore. However those gripes are very minor and the main purpose of protecting my phone are fully met. So yes get this case and tell everyone with big bulky cases to switch to this case. Also I have dropped my phone from 20ft and it landed face down and the case performed as advertised. No damage to the phone. Also with the low price it is really very little risk to you and the phone with thank you.

Rating: 5/5 Tough but Lightweight July 15, 2016 I would prefer not to put a case on my iPhone because it adds weight and hides the sleek look of the phone. To protect my investment I try to find the thinnest, inexpensive case around. After my latest (cheap) case cracked, I saw the offer for the NuGuard case at OWC. It is a great value. It is only a little thicker than my previous case, has a good gripping surface, and has a cutout for the Apple logo. Openings for all controls and ports are large enough to be accessed easily, except for the mute switch. That requires a bit more effort to engage, but is not a big deal. The case is thin enough to slip easily into my pants pocket. I haven't dropped the phone since I put on the new case (and hope not to), but it appears rugged enough to protect the phone against falls. Highly recommend this case.

Rating: 5/5 Best Case for iPhone July 7, 2016 I'm really impressed with this case. It's thin and durable. The best thing I like about it is the texturing on the sides and back. This really helps with the slick metal case of the iPhone.

Rating: 5/5 Keeps my iPhone6 safe April 21, 2016 I bought this KX to protect my new iPhone 6 before I even bought the iPhone. I've had it for over a year and it does the job for me. I've dropped the phone on the floor at home - no damage. I've dropped it getting into my car onto the concrete road surface - no damage. It does not add a lot of weight or bulk to the phone; I carry the phone in my pants pocket.
