As others pointed out, the case fits snug but is easy on/off. There is a knurling finish along the sides for a good grip, and the matte finish on the back is smooth enough that it slides in and out of a pant pocket easily. Another unexpected bonus is that the volume rocker is not exposed. Before buying the case, I found that I was always adjusting the volume inadvertently. The cover makes it a bit less sensitive.The only minor fault I have with the case is a small protrusion with two holes on the back bottom right, which I presume is for attaching a lanyard or stylus tether. The bump only sticks out a 1/16" or so, but it is enough to cause the device to rock (and make a tapping noise) when used on a flat hard surface. I have no use for a lanyard, so I removed the bump using a Dremel tool and a small cone sander. Others may find the attachment point to be a plus.. Either way the case is a bargain at $10.
