This product is exactly what I expected. The ToughSkin cushions the phone and protects it from damage when accidentally dropped (which has happened to me on several occasions throughout the 3 1/2 years I have owned this phone). I also use the holster on a daily basis. It allows easy access and call screening without having to worry about "pocket dialing" or missing phone calls that regularly happen when I carry my phone in my pocket instead. This is the third time I have purchased this product. After a year or so, the rubbery ToughSkin becomes discolored and starts to fray and deteriorate. Nonetheless, I rate it as having a good value and reasonable lifespan.
