My second choice after I had previously purchased a cheaper cover for my smartphone and a few days to collect my experiences with it. This Smartphone Cover the smartphone is completely inserted in a soft clear plastic bed while the phone is securely held in place by overlapping lips, so it can not fall out. The removal of the smartphone from the casing is possible without any problems through the used soft plastic. When closed, the shell all ports and openings (USB / headphone jack / camera / flash / microphone / speaker) free. The volume key can also be operated in a closed state. The magnetic lock the shell is so strong that the cover also does not work out when you lift the phone only with the cover of the envelope. The closure flap is additionally used as a retaining tab when "working" with the smartphone. The plastic cup is non-slip, so that the smartphone is well in hand. Optimally I find the possibility that the shell can be used as a stand. Something I am skeptical, however, with the attachment of the outer skin of the plastic shell, this is only half glued to the shell to get the set-up function. The splice is then charged each time when the smartphone is set up. It can only be hoped that this will not be the weak point of the envelope. For this reason I forgive only 4 stars. Holds the envelope more than one year, then comes to a star. Visually, the shell acts of high quality leather optics.
The inside of the lid equipped with a micro-fiber, so that the screen does not get scratched. After one-month use in Malaysia by motorcycle shows that the bright execution of microfibre dirty quite quickly. But what the purpose of the fiber not beeindraechtigt.
Addendum 02.12.2014: When shooting with the flash, there are unwanted light reflections, as the Kunstoffhülle reflected the flash toward the lens. Remove remedy either in night shots the smartphone from the case, or with a punch to enlarge the recess in the area of the flash down.
Addendum 21/01/2015: In the meantime I bought because of my good experience with the Case for a friend, the same protective sheath. There should be two versions, one as before and has the 1 or 2 card slots. Although there are other brands of cases the offer, but their holders are not suitable to protect the smartphone in my opinion the smartphone in a case.
The buyer of a faulted sharp edges of the envelope, are time cut softer and I have so far not on the sleeve. Now, after about half a year use, shows that the bonded with the Silkonhülle corners have suffered at the back a little and slightly (1-2 mm) separate from the silicone sleeve.
