I was also looking for an elegant shell, while not applying nick, yet well protected. In my opinion this cover meets all these criteria here. When applied correctly, it is firmly seated pleasantly and has no gaps on. All ports are accessible without any problems. The feel of the M9 has in my opinion even improved significantly. The buttons on the right side can now operate more easily and the phone can be kept better by the textured back of the case, that these uhne but sticks to your hand or pocket. Who can here really should spend the money and take up this high quality product. You should already know this, that one of the sheath no screen protection and this must be ordered separately.
