Bizarre, I had exactly the same blue front (same brand) and she had seemed to last longer before use. My phone has a year and a half and I replaced the first case there is a few months. Very convenient to use. The magnetic flap nice. Great to be able to store the CB and cinema card eg, as the license for release without the hassle of a bag. The permit holds but we should not let it constantly. Convenient viewing position (in the bed to see a film for example). Always the same reproach against by a few millimeters more height would not be a luxury. It does not take the phone drops vertically otherwise the high or low edge that takes. If not closed, has a nice little side book. Fortunately most often in my bag in my pocket because quite thick, I recommend over others I've tried (nothing to do with the flaps samsung color eg nice but do not protect in case of fall)
