User questions & answers

Question:

How long does the knife remain sharp? Does it need to be sharpened periodically

Answer:

compared to the tough armor (which this is based on) the lip is much better, the Spigen tough armor was very good on the 5s, not so much on the 6. The lip and grip on this one is much better. I didn't measure the lip on this one, but it's about double the tough armor (which is not much). Swiping from the edges is not affected, even thought the lip is higher. I really enjoy this case, and I bought and returned 3 others, because I didn't feel like they did the job right.
