For weeks, I’ve been putting the Honor x9b case (Model #PK1741) through its paces. This clear case promises military-grade drop protection, MagSafe compatibility, and a slim profile – a trifecta that’s hard to resist in the crowded phone case market. Does it deliver on its bold claims? Let’s dive in.

The Honor x9b case is designed to be more than just a pretty face. It boasts several features aimed at protecting your investment and enhancing the user experience. The standout feature is undoubtedly the integrated MagSafe magnetic ring. This allows for secure and fast wireless charging, a definite bonus for those who rely on MagSafe compatibility.

Beyond the MagSafe functionality, the case incorporates a durable TPU bumper and corner airbags designed to absorb shock from drops. The raised bezels around the screen and camera provide extra protection against scratches and scuffs. The clear design showcases the phone’s aesthetic, while purportedly preventing yellowing over time.

I subjected the Honor x9b case to a series of (controlled) drops from various heights, and I’m impressed with its shock absorption capabilities. The case remained intact, and more importantly, my phone emerged unscathed. While I wouldn’t recommend testing its limits repeatedly, the military-grade protection appears to be a justified claim. MagSafe charging was consistently fast and reliable. The case didn’t interfere with the charging process at all. The slim profile is a significant advantage; the case adds minimal bulk to the phone and fits comfortably in my pocket.

The button cutouts are precise, making it easy to access the power and volume buttons without fumbling. Overall, the case performed exceptionally well in daily use, offering a balance between protection and convenience.

Pros:

• Strong MagSafe compatibility
• Excellent drop protection
• Slim and lightweight design
• Precise cutouts
• Clear and aesthetically pleasing

Cons:

• While the case claims anti-scratch protection, some minor scratches are visible after extended use.
• Long-term yellowing remains to be seen. More testing is needed to verify the manufacturer’s claim.

The Honor x9b case (PK1741) is a strong contender in the MagSafe-compatible case market. Its robust drop protection, combined with the convenience of fast wireless charging, makes it a highly practical choice. While minor scratches appeared after some time, the overall protection and functionality make it a solid recommendation for anyone looking for a dependable and aesthetically pleasing case for their Honor x9b.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely. It’s a great balance of protection, functionality, and style.
