I've owned some pretty expensive cases for cell phones that when received were pretty cheap and lasted less than a month. This one is different, the case is still just as rigged as the day I brought it, and the clip still works! That's something that usually last less than a week and it's already been a month. The only downside about this case is that the silver outlining will start to wear off in certain places after a month of use. That's why its smart to buy 2. If you plan to have your phone for a year or more, replace the old one after 6 months and you'll be set.
