The case is well made, has the holes to access functions in more or less the right places, and the picture on the packaging even looks like my phone. But there is no way to put a Cingular 8525 in this case without damaging either the case or the phone. If the Bodyglove case I had previously had been made of these materials it would have been perfect, but unfortunately it stretched to where it is no longer secure. This case just simply will not fit my phone. I sure wish the review saying this had appeared before I ordered mine. I'm going to try to return it and hopefully the seller will have some ethics.Bottom line, don't buy this case!
