Before we go to the unboxing and review of the case, here's some information about the company behind Devilcase.
DevilCase is a mobile accessory company that has quietly been building a strong reputation for its high-quality, exquisitely designed aluminium bumpers. The company has released bumpers for Apple, Sony, HTC, Samsung and Asus phones.
This is not a review unit. It's actually a final retail pack which I am using now for my iPhone 6 Plus. I had the same case for my Sony Xperia Z Ultra too. After using for few months, I decided to get another one for my iPhone 6 Plus too.
On the back of the packaging, you can see the list of items included in the package as well as the installation guide.
A closer look at the installation guide. It's actually quite simple. All you need to do is to put on the 2 aluminium frames on your phone and lock it using the screw provided.
Here come the unboxing part. As I wanted to make my iPhone 6 Plus looks special, I decided to get the red colour. There's few options and you can get it from Connect2U.my.
Once opened, you will see the bumper and a black box.
Inside the black box, you can find 2 pieces of back protector, extra screws, philips screwdriver and the mute switch. I was told by Devilcase that the number of pieces of the back protector is different depending on the model of the case. For iPhone 6 Plus, I got 2 pieces, a red leather and a white carbon fiber. There are few more types apart from what I received, the faux leather, clear protector, and matte protector.
If you take a closer look, you will noticed that the case has a matte look. This is because the surface is anodised.
I am going to assemble it now. As you can see, it got 2 frames and all I need to do is to put both of them together and lock it with the screws provided.
Let's look inside of the frame, you will notice that on the corners and sides, there are these shock absorption layers that help to protect the phone from impact.
And it's done. It took me less than 2 minutes to install the bumper. The case is even compatible with the imos Solid EX 3D Corning Glass full coverage screen protector. No forced lift up at all.

A view on the back.
Side View - the case offers a tactile volume keys button
A closer look at the protruding camera. The case is slightly higher to offer a table protection on the camera lens.
Bottom View - the cutout for both the lightning charging port and 3.5mm headset port is slightly larger to accommodate the use of third party accessories.
While some people might prefer bare back to show off the back of the phone, I would prefer to have it protected. As mentioned earlier, my package consist of the red leather and white carbon fiber protector. And among the 2 materials, I prefer to use the red leather as it offers a greater grip on the phone.
And it's done. It took about 3 minutes to put on the red leather back protector. The installation is pretty easy as the protector is easily removable should you misalign it.
A closer look and you will find the Devilcase logo engraved on the leather protector.
Close up with the protruding camera - The leather protector is at the same level with the camera lens. I did apply a layer of lens protector by imos, so it offers extra protection to the sapphire lens.
