I would have to first disagree with the review saying that it muffles the sound, the microphone hole and the earphone speaker are uncovered and I havent had any problems when talking with it and being heard.I bought the SLVR 7 recently and had noticed that its display is glass and not plastic like my previous phone, I always carry it in my pocket along with my keys and coins so I was afraid it was going to get it scratched. So I looked around and this one looked like the nicest one to protect the screen.When I got it the case looks kinda flimsy but once the phone is inside its sturdy, but it does look like it you drope the phone and it lands sideways the case might break and the phone would slip out. I havent tried and I dont want to. The case fits nicely and when I showed it around people thought it was part of phone, all the buttons and ports are uncovered and the LCD screen is well protected, so it accomplished its purpose with me.The major flaw it has its where the mini usb port is. It does not let the usb cables fasten in. When I put the charger for the phone you can kinda feel the cable does not go all the way in, so whenever you move the phone while plugged, the cable will easily fall out by itself. Which is not much of a problem if I leave it charging and dont touch it, it will charge, but if you use it while plugged you have to take it out of the case, the same if you are plugging it to your PC, the computer will not see the phone cause the cable is not properly plugged and using the hands free is not even an option, unless you keep your thumb on the connection so the cable wont slip off.
