The here seen visually from top! The buttons and the screen etc. are not just painted but plastic, making the case looks even much better!
The operability of the iPhone buttons is not limited. While the loud / quiet buttons are hidden, they can still press well. Only the sound on / off switch is now more difficult to achieve a tick, but still far from reach.
Sitting does this shell like any other Silicone Cases also. On the narrow side (top and bottom) pretty good / firm and long sides of the two little loose but still manageable.
The problem is in this envelope, as with all other silicone cases also that dirt accumulates to the screen and to the other vacancies at the transition of the envelope.
Nevertheless, I can Recommend this envelope completely unrestricted for that price. Whether you buy them only because of the style bonus or want to miss the phone in your pocket protection. If you incidentally wearing tight jeans, the shell adheres the way much better in your pocket than in a leather case and you have to spend to pull out more strength;)
