Samsung Galaxy xCover (Extreme) Review

Both sides of the Samsung Galaxy xCover are identical except for the volume rocker and power button. Roughly two thirds of each side is covered by a recessed texture to allow a better grip when the phone is wet; or when it’s a hot, summer day and your hands are sweaty.

On the left side above the aforementioned textured grip is the two-stage volume rocker, of which is one of the most pleasant ones I have used in recent times. Slightly above the rocker is a torch icon; the LED on the back can be activated by holding down volume up for a second. This only works when the screen is off however.

Flipping the phone over onto its other side you will find the singular power button in the typical Samsung position about two thirds of the way up the edge of the phone.
