I've got the Z5 premium recently and was very eager to get an otterbox/spigen case on it,sadly nothing,zilch,nah-dah...only cheap plastic cases and expensive aluminium bumpers.
So i found this,the love-mei case.its is also a cheap knockoff of the lunatik case for crapple's iphones (apple has more accessory selections).and decided to do a first ever review of this case.
Items included in the package -
1. rubber casing
2.aluminium outer case
3.screws to secure case & mini allen key
4.other rubbish that adds weight & wastes space.(lanyard,alcohol wipes..)
5.promotional booklet to make you want to spend your dough.(doesn't work for me)
Cost - USD22.79 (as of this posting & free international shipping from China)

Pros -
1.feels like an otterbox defender case but with scaled up bad ass aluminium metal.
2.encases the phone fully with easy access to dedicated button,earphone jacks and charging port which also serves as dust protectors.
3.makes your z5p looks even bigger than it already is,sort of like how starsaber (from transformer g1victory(japanese anime))merge and become a robot)
4.keeps your phone really safe.i was more worried about making a dent on my floor tiles or hurting my foot than breaking my phone.
5.helps you do weights while running.
6.a good alternative to the otterbox defender case (not that there was one for the z5p to begin with)
Cons -
1. make your phone feels like a brick.
2.no easy access to sim/sdcard (not that it matters)
3.blocks out the indication lights.
4.taking out the earphone jack is going to be a pain.
5.if someone tries to rob you,this is the next best thing to a knuckle duster (not really a con)
6.no more phone eye candy.
after thoughts -
i have used both otterbox (almost all my phones) and spigen (on my shortlived note 3),this case is a new one for me.i like the idea that it keeps my phone really safe and in a really sturdy case but i do not like the idea of holding a brick nor transforming and adding bulk to an already big phone.
I believe the Aluminum used is not aircraft grade, hence the weight. protection wise,i assure you, if you chose to use this to knock some sense into an idiot, it will be an unforgettable one.
The screen protector used seems to be some glass with cheap/pseudo Oleophobic coating and is still a fingerprint magnet but not a very good one.
i think this case is more for those who have to take their phones outdoors or places where things gets rough pretty quickly.i work in an office environment,so using this is like wearing medieval steel armor into the office while pushing papers.
overall ratings (5 being best) -
Functionality - 4.5
Weight - 1
Design - 3.5 (damn screws)
Eye candy - 3 (black color aluminum,me like)
Photos will be uploaded once i get home.
