Although the Hard Case City Design (NYC) Clear Case looks beautiful, but unfortunately so thin and fragile that it is simply useless and the term "hard case" really do not deserve. The envelope came already with a small crack in a corner. Since this was hardly to be seen, I still wanted to keep the shell. But only with the clip onto my iPhone - which I did with extreme caution due to the existing mini-crack - broke another piece of casing elsewhere from (where the cover for the function buttons on the side of the iPhone has a recess and therefore there only a thin material web is present). When I wanted to lose weight again because of the damage the shell, the upper half broke off completely. I do not think that this is just a random manufacturing defects on my part. The material is so thin that the shell can withstand not even normal or careful handling, let alone any kind of load, for example blows or similar, would ever grown. Too Bad. The one star there is only because you can not assign null stars, and because the envelope in terms of design is really pretty. But as I said, of processing and nature of the material here unfortunately a complete grip down the toilet.
