I recommend all purchasing this protective case for samsung s3 ... I was at home several very nice shells but I was looking for something more solid that can protect my phone when dropped, and since I made this purchase, I have never given any of the other shells so I feel safe with my laptop it! There is no gap between the case and the phone, turn plastic is very solid and I have avoided much trouble, again, as my phone is white, transparency of the cover allows me enjoy. Really, do not hesitate!
