I bought two hulls before this one, at the same price, whatsoever SAMSUNG brand, and they have broken each time. This shell will replace the back of your phone and make a coverage (as thin as a sheet of paper), a flap in a way, protecting the screen. Too bad that our phones are not sold automatically with this type of shell ... well we comfort by saying that at least has the privilege of choosing its color! I have an order for my husband, jealous of my phone design ...
