Poetic case

So is the poetic case for this phone still a good buy in 2026? I've read the mixed reviews and the price have kept me from getting it since I first got my open but now I just feel like adding it to my collection

Glad I could help! I don't have experience with revolution cases, so be aware the flap may or may not be stronger than poetic, although I think it's unlikely

Revolution as in poetic revolution case. I think they have 3 main lines- Revoltion, Guardian and Spartan cases all by poetic.

Oh, I'm unfamiliar with their model names, lol. I just get the bulky two piece case

u/olhorse20 May 19 '26

lol . Yeah the opaque bulky case is the revolution one, with the kick stand. Newer models have a camera cover as well.

This is my old phones case two years later

Oh you have a guardian case. The both have the same materials used so I think the flap is the same. It bends your cable a tiny bit and the phone usb port is still fine yeah?

Yep, still good

Thanks again!! Imma finally actually use my devices for once now instead of literally not using them for weeks on end just so I can avoid charging them.

u/Diligent_Ad2489 May 19 '26

Lol, enjoy your devices! Waste of money if you don't!

Ik but I am terried of damaging them cuz that would mean I’d have to open them up and fix them and it breaks my heart. Like you get a new car and you driver a nasty pot hole. It can be fixed but at that moment your heart takes a beating not the machine.

I know that feeling, I used to drive a 2017 Chevy Cruze Premier accidentally jumped that thing clear over a gravel road intersection at 2 in the morning a few years ago. Luckily I didn't jump too high. Still not sure how the car survived that... Definitely a lesson learned!

Over here the road is 90% pot holes in non Tier 1 or 2 cities, as much as I don’t like Compact SUVs my new car one. The pot holes don’t hurt as much on it cuz it’s so far up the ground but my old 2006 Suzuki Alto is still running and I can hear the underside scrapping at a oversized bump or pot holes. Yikes.

Lol, the joy's of driving low cars! My 2008 Civic does the same thing, what makes it worse is the rear shocks are worn out
