This TPU gel shell is ideal for Xperia M. It is flexible and rigid at the same time. The pattern is original and well done. The cuts are clean and placed in the right places for access to all buttons and connections. The shell covers both the phone and provides a slight edge over thickness to protect the screen when dropped. By cons, this edge is white and can not necessarily please everyone. Too bad it's not been done a border in shades of the motif. But for the price, we will not complain.
