A Decent Case, but Watch Out for That Stinky Smell

Lulumi Case Review for Revvl 7 Pro

I recently picked up a case for my Revvl 7 Pro from Lulumi on Ozona, and I'm pretty happy with my purchase. The case features a fun design with a dinosaur (or Godzilla, I'm not sure) called 'Happy Day' for 21 rubles, which was a steal considering the other design options were more expensive.

The order took a bit longer than I expected, but the packaging was top-notch, with a nice little package and a sticker on the outside. Inside, I found another sealed package containing the case, which was a nice touch.

The case has a foam insert to provide extra protection during shipping, and the packaging and shipping already cost the Chinese guys around 10 rubles.

I have to admit, I sent a message to the seller on Ozon, begging him to send a different design instead of the one in the lot. I'm not a fan of reptiles, and I just wanted a more neutral design. I used to love dinosaurs as a kid, but I lost interest in them over the years.

However, the seller still hasn't read my messages, but he did send the ordered item, which is fair.

The case itself has a strong smell of rubber chemicals. If you're buying this for your kids and trying to keep them away from hazardous chemicals, then a case like this one from the Lulumi series isn't the best choice. The smell hasn't faded after a few weeks, and if you're talking on the phone with the case near your face, the smell is pretty overpowering.

The print quality of the design might be a bit off-center or slightly distorted.

I noticed the print on one of the cases is slightly off-center.And I suspect that over time the print will start to fade. In my case, it's actually a bonus – it'll just be a classic black case.

The case is soft and moderately thick. It takes a bit of effort to get the phone in, but it grips it tightly, so you won't be able to pull it back out easily.

From my perspective, the case does a great job of absorbing shocks on the sides, and it's also pretty snug against the back.

The cameras are recessed and partially protected by this case, so they'll likely take less wear and tear from rubbing against clothing in your pocket.

The volume buttons are nice to the touch, easy to press, and don't feel like they'll wear out quickly. My only gripe is that the power button (the red one) doesn't have a rubber coating. When you press it, it gets recessed under the case, and it would be nicer if it had the same rubber coating as the + and - buttons.

I've noticed that the thin rubber strip above the power button and the charging port is the first thing that's likely to wear out inside the case.

The Lulumi case fits my T-Mobile Revvl 7 Pro perfectly, with cutouts for all its ports and openings.

I've got a hydrogel screen protector on my phone, and I think I might have applied it a bit wonky (definitely not perfectly straight!), or maybe it's just slightly too small, but either way, the edges at the bottom of the protector are always slightly puffed up due to the case's snug fit. If you've got glass or a screen protector that's not quite the right size, you might experience some issues - it could puff up or start to lift.

And yeah, getting the phone out of the case is now way harder than putting it in, so I wouldn't recommend the Lulumi case if you plan on frequently swapping out your SIM or microSD card.

From what I can tell, this case could last for a few years. It's not exactly silicone, but more like a soft, flexible rubber material made from recycled car tires, 3D-printed on a budget printer in some Chinese warehouse. Just imagine all the journey that rubber took before it ended up as your new case!

I've gotta say, the best case for my Revvl 7 Pro is the one with the diamond pattern inside - it's clearly from a different manufacturer (not Lulumi) and usually the priciest one out there. But it's available for under 300 rubles, while the phone itself costs around 6,000 rubles. Lulumi's TCL T-Mobile Revvl7 Pro case without discounts is usually priced between 70-150 rubles, and for 22 rubles, it's a no-brainer for the best case on the Revvl 7 Pro.

I highly recommend this product and the manufacturer/seller Lulumi. Just make sure to choose a design that you like on the back, or wait for some decent discounts. At the end of the day, what's on the case doesn't really matter if it's reasonably priced. As they say, the case doesn't make the phone.

P.S. Initially, I wanted to write another review about an anime, but I got sidetracked by this case review and decided to add it to Ozon to thank the seller for a great product. In the end, I thought this review was worth sharing, and I'll leave something simpler on Ozon.
