I bought this for my 12 year old son's iphone SE and he loves it. Finally a good quality case that still appeals to children. I feel comfortable now that he is protected by Otterbox!
As far as pieces of plastic go, this one is also plastic. The paint on the corners chipped away faster than one would expect. Nothing special, but it does cover the phone (as advertised).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
