Because I really wanted to have a shell that opens upwards, I have - for lack of choice - opted for this. She looks wertig from, is slim, the iPhone is fixed therein and is fully protected. Thus it served its purpose for me. My enthusiasm was even greater when the shell would be something better processed at the price of the cut-out for the + button on the side is unclean cut and the leather unfortunately very sensitive. Still, I'm happy with the choice of the product and did not regret buying!
