The sleeve fits comfortably in your hand, sees in black from top and is touch-dry-. Because the original surface of S3 Neo is really damn smooth. The shell is also very easy raise. Felt the first time more difficult and stiff, but the trick: best first push in the lower part of the phone into the lower sleeve section, and then quasi simply press the rest of the phone only in the shell (as in a puzzle). Then goes by itself :) So not somehow spreading or pull or stretch the envelope .... works already .... just try.
