Doesn't close properly
and the window gets smudged so easily inside and out rendering limited visibility

Overall, its a bag of **** and I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Thanks for a quick review lol...I was fixing to buy it until I saw a video on youtube saying the same thing. Oh well, just a rubber/plastic case it is for me.

Couldn't agree more with this, was really looking forward to this case but I'd re-packaged it back up for a return within ten minutes. For the price of it it really is very poor, in fact I wouldn't use it for any price.

I've switched to a Spigen screen protector and one of their neo hybrid cases. Great combo.

Weird mines pretty good, no complaints. Mine closes but will open if I hold it upside down but that's gonna happen.

It's definitely over priced buy people were finding deals for 30 which is a much more reasonable price.

And there was a thread on this already explaining that the case not closing all the way was a common issue that would go away with a couple days of breaking in.

Yeah, I love this case.. Already tried a couple but this makes the phone look more high-end.

After a couple of days the hinge loosens up.. just gots to ride it out

I actually like it, although it's super overpriced


The cover does loosen up over time, although an extra 1mm of material in the hinge area would have made a tremendous difference

As above, it will loosen up soon. Mine is shutting more and more by the hour

Also found it very pricy (Paid £38 before launch) and feel I need a case for a case just to protect the more expensive one but anyway ;)

I've seen one also in the Samsung kiosk in Best Buy, and I have to agree they are crap. It doesn't seem to close properly, and for something that feels that cheap and basic, it shouldn't be $60. And I agree with someone above - I wouldn't use them even if they were free.
