I said today January 20, 2014, that my smartphone is always in this protective case, and I have absolutely no complaints, having since its purchase, dropped to the ground a number of times, for inadvertence, it has always served its purpose perfectly protecting my Galaxy Note II.
Viewpoint "wear" just a slight discoloration in small top and bottom corners at the curve of the bending portion, an apparent wire at the closure tongue without the person has become disjointed, and two small "cracks" of the black plastic shell, which is clipped into the smartphone, at the upper left and lower right, both without consequences on holding the smartphone in its housing.
So normal wear, nothing to report in particular, unless required screen protector, when something (in loccurrence the closure flap!) Must come to touch it repeatedly.
Which of course, I had from the beginning.
Very good product, more than correct aspect, even in time, five stars well deserved.
