3.0 out of 5 starsIt does its job, protecting but on the looks side.. meh

Let's be honest: a cell phone case, has the first task to protect the phone.
Done for this case. Uh.
It feels protective, no argue there.
However, the protection is not the only task a case has.
It has to look nice as well, in my opinion, at least.
There, you might want to think about other options.
I thought the clear back in order to display the iPhone glass and logo and etc, was a good idea.
Not that fast.
The plastic that composes the clear back of this case is.. I wouldn't say sticky because it isn't but it offers a good grip, which is on one hand positive, but since it is clear, not that much of a good news.
Because it offers a nice smooth grip, the dust wants to hang around. And what about the finger prints that are blending altogether in a nice swirl of digital grease (more about that in a moment). And since the plastic is rather soft, it collects quite quickly small cracks and little stripes. I tend to take care of not carrying my phone in the same pocket as I store my house keys for example, and it got scratched quite rapidly and easily, I feel.
I never eat any chips or fries or deep fried food. And I'm not a deep fryer cleaner or whatever other job that would require me to handle with my bare hands any industrial amounts of grease, oil or any other kinds of fatty composed stuff. But this case clear back makes me feel that I am SO dirty!
And since there is at the bottom corners some half moon holes that are there for a reason I don't understand, the dust, or any other dusty thing that hangs in your pockets will be tempted to go on the other side of the mirror and display rather proudly at the back of your phone.
For me, this is not a MAJOR drawback, but I'm a bit annoyed if I'm honest.
So this case primary task is accomplished without any trouble: it feels safe.
But if the looks is very important for you, I think you might want to pass this one.
I was about to miss the fact that however it looks quite neutral in terms of size and bulkiness, once you put your phone in, it feels like the phone is noticeably bigger and thicker, which is not positive in my opinion. But compared to a minimalist case, it is definitely more robust and will last longer, if you can live with your fingerprints, scratches, and dust showing up at the back.
Enjoy your shopping!
