My wife has bought the shell after the old "OtterBox" had sacrificed after a crash of the phone. Now she wanted something more elegant in form, but most of all one color, the one finds mobile phones in the oh-so-dark handbag. Advantages: Pleasant feel (does not feel like plastic to), velvet inner lining of the cover plate (protects the display), tailor-made, semi-transparent holding shell, into which one can snap the cell phone safe. The belt keeps a sewn-in magnets along the shell. In some reviews is not recommended, because the magnetic field may interfere with the built-in compass feature. We have previously noted in this respect no problems. Cons: So far, not really. Even the shell has no signs of wear, but it's also only a few weeks in operation. Of course, they will not protect in case of a crash the phone as the OtterBox, but it also bears not so thick on.
