Perfect design, fits great!! Maintains the sleek thin feel of the phone while protecting it and making it easier to hold, especially when operating the phone with one hand. I have dropped my Note a few times from a few feet (getting out of truck) onto concrete, no marks on the case or the phone. Another added feature of this case, you have to press the "sleep" button on the side of the Note a little harder. Before I had the case, I was always accidentally hitting the sleep button when using the phone, especially in landscape mode. The case eliminates those accidental black screens.
