This case effectively replaces the original back cover. Touch, slightly rough is nice and allows the phone from slipping hands. The flap automatically turn off the phone to save battery power while allowing access to the notification light. An opening of the flap and the phone is immediately available, it's great. The only downside, but I think this is typical of this type of case, entering with 2 hands is less convenient to fold unless complement the pane on the back of the phone, which is not necessarily natural.
