I bought this case on the first day it was available and I was very happy with the fit and function. After I paid full price, they are again recalling the Note 7 due to more battery fires. My problem now is that there isn't another phone that is as good as the Note 7 and I'm not willing to power it down or trade it for something else. I'm going to keep using it for now and look at the LG V20 when it comes out at the end of the month.
I had the case on my phone for about a week and decided to remove it because the openings for the home button and earpiece allow a large amount of dust under the screen protector.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I highly recommend the defender otter box case if you want peace of mind for total protection. I have a new one for my note 7. Extremely well made and fits like a glove.
Good case but now that the phone is being recalled, is just wasted money
