I too own a Motorola V551j and I just happened to come across this case a little over 2 years ago right after purchasing my V551j. I will say this - this case can take a beating and not show too much wear. It was even accidentally dropped off a 3rd story balcony and the only scuff was on the antenna of the phone itself.It's a great case, but it has a few downsides...1 - When you want to take a photo, the case gets in the way of the lens quite often. It's not a huge concern, but it does get in the way if you want to take a quick photo and don't remember to hold the leather piece down while taking the shot.2 - The hole for the earpiece doesn't line up exactly on the case. I have to actually try to manuever the case around to be able to plug my ear piece in.3 - The clear plastic that covers the outer LCD and the inside LCD gets cloudy pretty quickly. I find that the clear plastic shows even minor scratches and began to cloud up after only 2 months of ownership.4 - The case doesn't fit the V551j EXACTLY like it should. The one I bought said it was for the v551, but obviously, it's for the 400 models regardless of what the package stated... I find that the front piece (it's two seperate pieces) doesn't fit too well and I even had to cut a little of the clear plastic on the left side of the phone where the volume and quick link buttons are to be able to access the quick link button properly.I've also noticed that the case is finally beginning to wear and tear and I'm in the market for a new case soon. I'd like to get another Body Glove, but I can't seem to find one that will fit a V551j EXACTLY as it should.All in all though, it's a great case despite the minor problems that could be rectified in a newer version. :-)
