I read that lots of people are having problems with these type of holsters. Its true that if you drop it on the floor there is a potential for it breaking. With that said, I've dropped this a few times and its been ok. I'm happy with the purchase, I prefer it over the body glove type case I had before.Since it doesn't actually protect your phone from gettting scratched, I wouldn't recommend it if you are concerned from getting your phone scuffed in the event you do drop it or something.
