iLuv is a well-known Apple accessory manufacturer, with a wide range of iPhone and iPad case options available in retail stores. For our latest video review, we went hands-on with the company’s Layup X case, available for the iPhone 6 Plus and 6S Plus.
The Layup X is a multi-function case that offers all-around protection for the iPhone, a tempered glass screen protector to protect the screen from scratches, and a built-in kickstand. More functional than stylish, the Layup X consists of an inner hard shell that keeps the iPhone in place and an outer rubber shell designed to provide protection from impacts.
iLuv’s Layup X easily fits an iPhone and provides access to all ports and buttons on the device. Although a bit heavy, the Layup X feels solid on the phone and it’s a case that’s going to offer a good amount of protection against bumps and drops.
As for the built-in kickstand, it’s functional, but it’s made of a flimsy plastic with poor build quality. It’s able to prop the iPhone up to an ideal viewing angle, but we think the kickstand is the first place where the iLuv case can fail. Overall, though, it’s a solid choice for consumers looking for a case that’s going to offer all-around protection.
Layup X is available from the iLuv website or Amazon.com for $34.99.
