I bought the cover for my iphone and I have it now in use since 2012. Now it's 2014 and the shell still makes a very reliable and good service. I have two children and the like tilt to time a glass or the like, but my phone does not cover even like when purchasing. I would buy the shell again. She is very clunky, but since I as a woman anyway always have the phone only in the handbag, it is not disturbing, on the contrary, I find it faster in my pocket.
