I took a chance on this case, not knowing exactly how it would function, feel in my hand, or how bulky it would/wouldn't be.Turns out, it's way better than expected. The case is thin, it is very light, it's just as capable of offering great protection, and it looks great. I also thought it is neat how this case is meant to be closed while talking on the phone I can see myself ordering this type of phone case from now on. Note: I work in an office setting. When I'm not in the office, I'm visiting clients. The brown leather case looks very masculine and feels more like it's a part of my ensemble than any other case I've had. That's a plus for me.
