Did the shell are less than a year and am very satisfied. It not too thick on, feels quality in your hand and the most important, the iPhone is with this shell slip in hand. The only drawback for me is that I have a white iPhone and also a white bowl, looks good, but only the beginning. By the time she gets dirty and can be cleaned not really. Now I wanted to buy a new and will order me today a black. The reason for this is that my phone is now fallen out of his pocket on Stahtreppen and to all the way down to the asphalt. Height almost three meters. I must say that I was lucky. Not even a mini scratches on the iPhone, the shell has burst something on the corner and has some scratches. Thus, it has served its purpose. ;)
