The hull is made of a black rubber part which protects the back and sides of the phone and a rigid white part that closes like a door on the screen by covering half. You can download an application that reduces the display of useful data on open portion of the screen but I personally did not find it practical at all and I use the black part that does a very good job of protecting all alone. Protect the screen by a simple plastic film. On the practical side, even with the installed shell, wireless charging works!
