Oh friends, Friends, Just says that the shell is slightly transparent. Although the look is also very pretty, but I wanted more of a rich purple, as in the photo. And so it really looks yet not out. Rather dull and transparent loving !!! Well, I'll keep it because I am now even a little practical person and not worth it, now go through this back and forth. So on a purchase recommendations for anyone who wants to be surprised and do not stiffen on a vibrant purple. :-)
