The pros:I wanted something that would protect my phone when I inevitably drop it. I also wanted to be able to clip my phone to my belt/pocket rather than stuff it inside my pocket. I did not want a bulky case that would not let me charge my phone while in the case, become a problem with using the numbers, or too hard to see. This case met all my needs; and the phone can take a fall much more gracefully. ;0)The only con:The snap that holds the case over the screen only snaps on one side. This causes the clear window to become a little wrinkled and causes glare on the upper right side of the phone at times. I'd suggest a strap over the top of the right and left sides and make a hole for the button you'll cover on the left.
