Junk!
I'm pretty amused by the positive reviews on this "case". For 30 bucks you get a plastic back with a flip cover attached. The hinge is fabric. It has some memory so if you fold it back to take a call it won't stay closed for a while unless you remove it and bend it the other way for a bit. Looks okay when closed but you'll be screwing around with it to use the phone or take photos and this just hinders clean operation of the phone. Think about it: you just paid 30 bucks to have a cheap flap hanging off your phone. There is no method to keep the panel closed, so this is passable on your desk at best. It really offers ZERO protection for the phone. If you drop the phone you can hope that the panel does't open and expose the screen to the fall. The corners are just as vulnerable. The fabric hinge is NOT STABLE and so the panel can move to a small degree against the screen when carried. This means if the wrong material gets between the panel (a grain of salt or other crystal debris that can damage gorilla glass) and the screen you'll have a scratch party. Use a screen protector. Seriously, this feels like something that cost a dollar to make and paying 30 bucks is a hilarious joke. For that money you can have a real case that will actually protect the phone. Or get the Otterbox Commuter or Defender (about to be released) and protect the device properly. It's a 700 dollar phone, so why risk it with this cheap flip case? I got this from a friend who also hated it and is also getting a proper case. Sheesh, what a joke of a product.
