The appearance of the shell is really awesome, I stand fully on this turquoise / blue / white, it just fits well with my mega white iPhone 4. The material is neither silicone nor hard plastic, I honestly do not know exactly, but it is a very sturdy and at the same time more flexible plastic. It fits perfectly and has prepared yesterday survived a fall from just under 2 meters without a scratch on envelope or cell phone tomorrow!
So despite the steep price I am very pleased, think that it is worth it because this shell is determined hold 2-3 years ..
