No-bloat and stink free... what more could a girl ask for

Responsive steering, snappy pivot-style turns, and an overall wide wind range

Versatile kite with steady pulling power and great upwind performance

The Switchblade is a medium aspect 5-strut kite marketed as an all-around freestyle kite which testers praised for its solid steering response, power building in its sweeping turns, easy relaunch and ability to go upwind.

This case looks sleek and cool—not bulky or ugly like a lot of cases on the market. It is lightweight, low profile and has a lot of clear plastic so that you can see the color of the phone through the case, which we liked since the white and silver version isn’t obscured too much by the case.
