Introduction

The Honor X9B is a solid mid-range phone, and protecting your investment is crucial. Enter the Honor X9B case (Model Number: PK1650), promising military-grade drop protection and a sleek design. Over the past few weeks, I’ve put this case through its paces to see if it lives up to its claims. This review details my findings, highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of this protective accessory.

Features

The Honor X9B PK1650 case boasts several key features: Military-grade drop protection, an anti-scratch and shockproof design, a magnetic car mount functionality (thanks to a built-in metal plate), and a comfortable, easy-to-clean surface that resists fingerprints. The case also features precise cutouts for all ports and buttons, ensuring unimpeded access to all phone functions. The soft TPU material promises a snug fit without being too tight or loose.

Performance

The case’s build quality is impressive. The TPU material feels durable and provides a reassuring grip. I intentionally dropped the phone (within reason!) a few times from waist height onto various surfaces (carpet, hardwood floor), and the case protected the phone flawlessly. There were no cracks or damage to the phone itself. The magnetic car mount functionality worked perfectly with my magnetic phone holder; this is a welcome and useful feature for those who frequently use a car mount. The cutouts are precise and allow for easy access to all ports and buttons. The claim of anti-fingerprint coating holds true, it’s significantly easier to keep clean than other cases I’ve used. However, while the case provides good protection, it does add a bit of bulk to the phone.

The fit is almost perfect; it’s snug enough to prevent accidental slippage yet easy to take on and off. The case shows minimal wear and tear after several weeks of daily use. It has successfully protected my Honor X9B from minor bumps, scratches, and even a couple of more significant drops.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Military-grade drop protection, excellent shock absorption, magnetic car mount functionality, easy to clean, precise cutouts, comfortable grip, snug fit.
• Cons: Adds some bulk to the phone, relatively basic design (may not appeal to everyone).

Final Verdict

The Honor X9B (PK1650) case delivers on its promises. It offers robust protection, useful magnetic functionality, and a comfortable design. While it adds a bit of bulk, the peace of mind knowing my phone is well-protected outweighs this minor drawback. If you’re looking for a reliable and protective case for your Honor X9B, I highly recommend this one.
