Although I have the i9000 worn with protective cover just in your pocket (had and the shell its protective effect against fall never etc unfold), after less than a month, the two snap locks are up completely broken (which the shell is a total loss is). Already before the matt outer white layer began scour (which is also not clear, the protective envelope came with no sharp objects such as keys in contact). Conclusion: The cover looks good, but is completely useless in this workmanship.
