I love this shell I got lots of compliments from my friends who are fans on a white iphone and it makes even more beautiful! As against it is not very well protects the phone: it is really a fancy shell that serves just to pretty. I'm not saying it does not protect the iPhone but say that is not its primary function. Now it is broken at the corners (one is 12/7/14) having ordered there about 3 months (March 23).
