I think it's great as a design. A first flexible rubber cover which fits the phone like a skin and is placed around a rigid shell. it's so snugly between skin and body that we see nothing once laid. For me that has large, dry hands, the phone had a tendency to slip out of my hands. Now it's great because the entry is free (the hull is a type of hard rubber that will not slip), and as the phone does a bit thick it was better in the hand. Finally I would say it is rather seen a male product appearance. For cons, the shell thickness exceeds the screen (you can put the phone on a flat surface without the touch screen), but there is no screen protection (film or flap)
