not secure on the hinge part. it's plastic & it broke off on a 2 1/2 feet fall ;[ i am soooooo sad it broke off. such a classic navy blue phone case too.
I bought this from the AT &T store and was disappointed in the quality. Very much plastic that did not hold up well. I am going back to Otter Box more expensive but longer lasting. This is a slippery phone and really needs a heavy duty case!
I've used this case for almost two months. It works well, including the area around the hinge, and the color is nice. The only negative is that I found it incredibly difficult to remove, which I needed to do to install the SIM card. (I didn't know the phone didn't come with the SIM card already installed.) Be very sure you won't need to remove the case for any reason before inserting the phone into it. Also, follow the instructions that come with the case.
