The phone is fully protected, incl. The pushbuttons. Normally I do not like that, because the functionality is affected in this way, but this is not the case here. I was very pleasantly surprised, we just let the buttons to press more and the pressure point is still clearly perceptible. As well as I have not seen it even in expensive cases.
The material is a tacky feel. So should one not be able to fall out of his hand the phone. The red strips on the back is a beautiful, visual enhancement. It consists of a different, softer material. The sides and back are black matt, at the front the material is semi-gloss, making the transition from glass not so blatantly fails. Another nice little detail.
As you can tell, I am thrilled with the shell and in hindsight would even be willing to spend more for it. For me, a strong buy recommendation.
