The shell thickens the iPhone on only slightly and fits very good overall. It is soft and custom-fit, so that the phone can be used with little effort in the shell. All buttons can be after that operate well. Two little things bother: 1.The advertised air cushion effect for the corners I can not nachvollziehen.Das phone fits snugly into the corners. 2.On half height, the shell has a circumferential slightly disturbing "seams" that is probably manufacture. This seam is not pleasant to the touch; functionally it does not matter.
