The shell is doing what it should. She sits at attention on the phone and protects it effectively from shocks. I was able to try. However, it creaks a bit and since the envelope a little "brushing", the On / Off button is only accessible with a fingertip or the fingernail. But that does not detract from the usability at all. The design is by the way the eye and for people who have the Gameboy still met and hours playing "Tetris", a must.
