This shell is beautiful yes, but it is a bit big to be discreet. It seems to protect my HTC One. Some kinks to report for a hull that still costs 30 ,. Placing a protective film + the hull is quite difficult. The shell consists of a flexible or part silicone gel and a rigid part that keeping everything in place. This rigid part does not benefit from the neat one might expect from an object that price. There are some traces of apparent molding (small protruding ridges resulting from the molding of the rigid portion). Except for those few small flaws, it is a good product that will do wonders in protecting your smartphone.
