Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 60 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers reported significant issues with refunds, often waiting months without resolution and receiving no response to their inquiries. People also expressed dissatisfaction with the product quality, noting that items received were often substandard, cheap, or broke quickly, sometimes not matching the descriptions or images online. Reviewers frequently mentioned receiving incorrect items, such as the wrong size, color, or even a different product entirely, and found the return process to be slow and deliberately obstructive, with strict requirements for proof of postage. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with the product quality, describing items as having great design, being top-notch, and feeling premium, with some even praising the prompt delivery and perfect fit of cases. Some customers also noted that their cases were protective and stylish, fitting well and holding up brilliantly over time.

Easy website to navigate, quick checkout, and rapid delivery. The iPad smart case is top-notch quality and the stand angle is perfect for watching videos. Spot on experience.

Beautifully designed products and brilliant UK-based service. The leather wallet case is so classy and keeps my phone completely safe. Will absolutely be a repeat customer.

Abysmal customer service

Abysmal customer service. I accidentally ordered the wrong iPad cover. I followed their precise instructions on it, and a month later I am still being told that it’s being referred to customer services and that I’ll get a refund in 3-5 working days. However, I was told exactly the same thing a week ago. Genuinely do not understand how it is this hard to refund - I work in customer service myself and process refunds automatically. I wish I had checked their reviews before ordering!

Dear Robyn,

I am incredibly sorry for the delay you’ve experienced with your refund and the frustration this has caused. We aim for a much smoother process, and it is clear we missed the mark in this instance.

I can confirm that your refund for order #22041 has now been fully processed. You should see the funds back in your account within the next 3–5 working days, depending on your bank's processing times.

We appreciate your patience while we coordinated with our returns department to get this resolved. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, as your feedback helps us improve our service for all customers.

Best regards,

The Customer Service Team

Poor refund procecess

Purchased an iPad cover although the right size as per description it was too small, returned next day. I am still awaiting my refund from the 13/03/2026. So many email sent which do not get replies. Awful company to deal with.

We sincerely apologize for the delay in your refund and the lack of communication you’ve experienced. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide, and we understand your frustration.

Rest assured, you will receive your refund. We have investigated your case and can confirm that your return was received; however, an administrative delay stalled the processing of your credit. I have personally escalated this issue to our finance team to ensure the funds are released immediately.

We are currently reviewing our internal ticketing system to understand why your previous emails were not captured, as we want to ensure this doesn't happen again. You should see the status of your refund update within the next 3–5 business days, depending on your bank's processing times.

Thank you for your patience while we make this right.

Website features incorrect, refused free returns

First the wrong size phone case was sent, I had to pay for returns. Once I got to try the correct size case it then appeared that the case didn’t do wireless charging despite it being on the website as a feature. I wrote and told them this and they refused to pay for the return of the item even though it was totally their fault and mis sold

Hi Natasha,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations.

Regarding the return, we can confirm that your order was delivered on 20/03/2026. As per our 14-day return policy, we require customers to initiate and complete returns within that timeframe to be eligible for a refund. Unfortunately, as this period has now passed, we are unable to process a return for these items.

Additionally, while we strive to provide accurate product features, our policy remains that we do not cover the cost of return postage. We appreciate your feedback regarding the wireless charging and will look into this with our product team to ensure all descriptions are as clear as possible for our customers.

Best regards,

The StudioShake Team

Hi Jason,

I am incredibly sorry for this experience, as waiting over 21 days for a refund is far from the standard we aim to provide.

To ensure we can resolve this immediately, please email support@studioshake.co.uk with your order number and any tracking details from your return.

This will allow us to investigate exactly what has happened and expedite the process to ensure your funds are returned to you without further delay.

Poor quality and customer service.

Update 3 (27/5): The poor quality and lack response.

It has now been more than month since I asked for a the faulty products to be replaced or refunded. They stopped answering my emails. There are no other way to contact them. I recommend to stay away from this company.

Update 2
The two IPad cases are after 1 week broken/cracked. The quality of the plastic does not seem to match the premium price. I have sent a complaint. And it has now been 7 days with no response (they advertise 3-5 days).

Update on below (26/4). The two iPad cases are now received after a lot of delay.

I ordered two cases for my iPads. Only received one. Wrote to customer service. They claim to respond within 1-3 days. It has now been 4 days. No response.

Hi Kasper,

I am very sorry for the delay in our response and for any confusion regarding your order. While one of your iPad cases has been successfully delivered, it appears there was an issue with the delivery of the second item to your address in Denmark. According to the tracking information (UPAAH000000083419265), a delivery attempt was made on April 8th at 9:23 am, but a note was left as the addressee was not at home. The parcel is currently "Awaiting Pickup" at a local facility in København (2100). Please check for a delivery slip or contact your local postal service with your tracking number to arrange for a collection or redelivery, as the item is ready and waiting for you.

Avoid this company

Ordered a phone case. Money taken.. no confirmation and no case has arrived. Their web site “contact” icon is allegedly at the bottom right hand corner of the browser screen. Nothing there. Emailed my problem. No response at all but a tsunami of annoying emails about the company and founder. Chased by email. More irrelevant emails re the company but not proper comms. Utterly hopeless. Will pursue a refund through a charge back. Avoid this company.

I am incredibly sorry for the frustration and the lack of communication you have experienced. It is completely unacceptable that you’ve had to deal with a wave of marketing emails while your actual concerns went ignored. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.

To rectify this immediately, please send your order number and any relevant purchase details to support@studioshake.co.uk. Once we have that information, I will personally ensure we track down your order, explain the lack of confirmation, and provide a clear status update.

Our goal is to resolve this to your satisfaction right away, whether that means getting your case to you immediately or processing a full refund. Again, I am truly sorry for the hopeless experience thus far, and I appreciate the chance to make it right.

IPhone 14 case doesn’t fit StudioShake

Despite doing everything requested by StudioShake to return the defective case they are now saying I am out of time for a refund. Legally I am not. The case was not fit for purpose. I notified StudioShake of this and sent them photos. They asked me to return it tracked. They gave me the wrong postcode so the Post Office couldn’t return it. I was abroad. When I came back I searched for the correct postcode and it was returned. I paid for tracking as requested. Then StudioShake said I took too long to return it and therefore will not refund me. What can I do? What they are doing is illegal. But because the value is relatively small I cannot force a refund. My guess is they bought a load of cheap iPhone cases that do not fit and are trying to get rid of them.
I think my only option is to go to Trading Standards to see if anyone else’s has complained about StudioShake and maybe they can investigate this sharp practice. So disappointing. I liked the case a lot. Shame it wasn’t fit for purpose.

Hi Eleanor,

I completely understand your frustration regarding the fit of the case and the difficulties you've faced with the return process. It is never our intention to make things complicated, and I am sorry for the stress this has caused.

While we truly want to help, we are unable to process a refund without confirmation that the item has been returned to us. Because we haven't received the case at our warehouse, we do require a tracking number or a proof of postage receipt to verify the return and move forward with the refund.

If you are able to obtain those details from your local Post Office, please send them over to support@studioshake.co.uk. As soon as we have that proof of purchase for the return shipping, we will be able to investigate this further and work toward a resolution for you.

I am very sorry for the frustration and the delay in getting back to you. I completely understand how stressful it is to be waiting on a refund, especially when you can see the tracking shows it has arrived safely.

I have looked into this and can confirm that your return has been processed. We have now issued your refund in full.

Depending on your bank’s processing times, the funds should be back in your account within 3–5 working days.

Thank you for your patience while we got this sorted, and I apologize again for the lack of communication during the wait.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE

Here is the response to my earlier query regarding my long overdue refund received on 24th January 2026 -

Thank you for your feedback. We have reviewed your account and return history to provide you with an update on your refund.

Our records indicate that the refund of £40 was officially finalized and processed on January 25, 2026. These funds were sent back to your original payment method via our payment processor at that time.

Since the transaction was completed and the funds were deducted from our account over a month ago, we recommend checking your bank statement from late January. You should see the credit reflected there for the full amount.

We aim to provide both quality products and clear communication, and we apologize for any frustration during the return process. However, we can confirm that the financial side of this order has been fully settled on our end.

Well what a surprise NOT no refund has been received by my credit card provider!! Also the amount due by you is £40.35 not £40 and as promised in previous emails I have never received any refund confirmation from you.
This is getting beyond a joke I am fuming at the way I have been treated.
PLEASE REFUND MY MONEY!!

I completely understand your frustration regarding the delay in seeing these funds. I have personally re-verified our records against your order and no stone was left unturned.

I can confirm that a refund of £40.35 was officially initiated and finalized on our end on January 25, 2026. This transaction successfully cleared our account and was sent back to your original payment method.

At this stage, because the funds have moved out of our financial system and into the banking network, there is no further action we can take from our side to "re-send" or "pull back" the payment.

Next Steps for Resolution:

Contact Your Bank: Please provide your bank or credit card issuer with the date (January 25) and the exact amount (£40.35).

Request a Trace: Ask them to look for a "pending" or "cleared" credit from us. Sometimes banks hold these in a settlement account before they appear on your consumer-facing statement.

We aim for clear communication and quality service, and while I recognize this isn't the immediate resolution you were hoping for, I can assure you that the refund has been fully issued to your bank. They are now the only party with the visibility to track the final movement of those funds into your account.
