This is a good product, but the bulk of the phone is not the same with the hull. Much bigger. Protection point of view, the phone is well protected. Another plus: there is no glass covering the lens which eliminates surprises during shooting. As against the front flap with "View" is good and friendly but I'm not sure it has a long life. We will see in use. In conclusion it is a good shell that protects your S4 front and rear shocks and the window (View) is a plus.
