Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, use, and maintenance of your URBAN ARMOR GEAR (UAG) Outback Feather-Light Rugged Phone Case, specifically designed for the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017). This case is engineered to offer robust protection while maintaining a lightweight and slim profile.
Key features include lightweight protection, a traction grip exterior, impact-resistant rubber, oversized tactile buttons, and compliance with military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6).
Installation Guide
Follow these steps to correctly install your Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) into the UAG Outback case:
- Prepare Your Device: Ensure your Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) is clean and free of dust or debris.
- Align the Phone: Gently align the phone with the case, starting with the top edge. Ensure the camera and ports align with the case cutouts.
- Insert the Phone: Press the phone firmly but carefully into the case, working your way around the edges until the phone is fully seated and all corners are securely covered by the case's protective frame.
- Verify Fit: Check that all buttons (power, volume) are functional and that the charging port and headphone jack are accessible through the case's openings.

Key Features
The UAG Outback case is designed with several features to enhance your device's durability and usability:
- Lightweight Protection: Engineered to provide robust defense without adding unnecessary bulk to your device.
- Traction Grip Exterior: The outer surface features a textured design for a secure and comfortable hold, reducing the risk of accidental drops.
- Impact Resistant Rubber: Constructed with high-quality, impact-absorbing rubber materials to dissipate shock from drops and impacts.
- Oversized Tactile Buttons: Designed with larger, responsive buttons that maintain full functionality and ease of use.
- Military Drop-Test Standards: Meets MIL STD 810G 516.6, ensuring the case can withstand multiple drops from specified heights.
Impact Protection
The case exceeds military standards for drop and shock, enduring 26 drops from 4 feet high with 0 damage. This is achieved through a multi-layer design that includes a military-grade MIL STD 810G-516.6 compliant structure.

Lightweight Construction
A web of hollow cells within the case provides rigidity and compression strength while minimizing overall size and weight. This feather-light honeycomb design contributes to the case's protective qualities without adding bulk.

Slim Design
The case features a dramatically thin, friction-free, and lint-resistant package that allows for easy insertion and removal from pockets. Its slim profile ensures comfortable handling and minimal added bulk.

Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your UAG phone case, follow these simple care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the case material and finish.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the case for any signs of wear or damage. While highly durable, extreme impacts can cause minor cosmetic changes.
Troubleshooting
Most issues with phone cases are related to installation or minor fit adjustments. Here are some common points:
- Case Not Fitting Correctly: Ensure your phone model is indeed the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017). Remove the phone and re-install, making sure all corners snap into place.
- Buttons Not Responsive: Verify that the phone is fully seated in the case and that the case's buttons are aligned with the phone's buttons. The oversized tactile buttons are designed for responsiveness.
- Port Access Issues: Check for any debris in the phone's ports or the case's cutouts. Ensure cables are fully inserted.
