So the shell is real and not processed extremely thin clean. Protects the player but before scuffs. Unfortunately, she draws due to the silicone dust and grains of sand (beach) like a magnet. Therefore, I did not know if I would buy again. A little tip: I have the display protected by a strip of an old cell phone screen protector against scratches and the MicroSD slot is closed by a scotch tape strips. Thus penetrate on the beach no sand grains into the player.
