I LOVE this case! It's the third case I've purchased for my Galaxy Note, and FINALLY I'm done looking for the perfect case! This is the perfect one for me. The first one I purchased was a nice, slim fit but extremely slippery, which caused me to drop the phone constantly. The second case I purchased had a great grip but was extremely bulky and covered too much of the main screen, making it hard (sometimes almost impossible) to do things that required me to touch close to the edge of the screen. This cover, however, meets all of my expectations. It's extremely slim (absolutely no bulkiness), fits like a glove, has a little bit of a rubbery feel instead of a slippery feel, has grips on the sides of the phone that make holding and handling it so much easier, and it wraps around the front of the phone just enough to protect the edges, but doesn't cover up any of the screen. The Galaxy Note is a beautiful phone and this case doesn't take away from its beautiful look at all. I've read some reviews that complain that this case doesn't line up on the phone perfectly. My case fits perfectly. The volume buttons and power buttons are quite a bit harder to push now, but it works out okay because I'm not accidentally pushing them at random times like I've done occassionally in the past. It takes a bit firmer of a push now. If I could change anything on the case, that would be the only thing, that I wouldn't have to push quite so firmly to adjust the volume or the power. But since I absolutely love everything else about this case, I still give it two thumbs up and FIVE STARS. I'm so excited with this new case. It's just what I was looking for!
