This hard shell (albeit cheap) clear plastic case does the job pretty well. If you are looking for a bit of scratch protection while carrying in your pocket or purse - this works well. Note - cheap product which gets scratched itself pretty easily and looks foggy after minimal use but still does what it is intended to do.I have used mine for about four months now and also purchased a Krussell case for my wife (at the same time) while the Krussell is a great case, it is too bulky for me as I like to slip my phone into my pocket. If I needed a belt clip case, the Krussel is the way to go. This crystal case has not broken yet after a few drops. One slight problem is when using the light (flash) for taking pictures, the case creates a shine into the lens so you must remove the crystal case before taking pics with flash. Biggest problem is the scratching/fogging of the plastic over the screen. While the screen is dim you notice it, but after you brighten (start to use the display) you dont really notice it. It is the slimmest phone protection I have found yet and does ok. If it were $5.00 it would be better but has done ok so far.
