Let me start by sharing the pros:

It is durable. I have dropped it, or had it dropped, off tables, couches and chairs onto hardwood floors, concrete and tile. After my heart starts beating again and I have the opportunity to inspect my phone, it always comes away unscathed.

Its easy to hang onto. I have shovels for hands, so this adds some girth to an otherwise small and slippery phone and makes it very easy to hold. (Any time I try and take the case off, I feel like its going to slip out of my hands.) The rubber is high quality and doesn’t stretch… I’ve removed and replaced the case dozens of times and there is no show of stretching from the rubber. It also doesn’t attract too much lint… although it does some, its easy to clean off without much effort.

Provides easy access to necessary ports. With the exception of one after-market car charger, I haven’t had a problem getting headphones, auxiliary cables, or chargers to fit into the ports without removing the case.

Now the cons:

Let me address the “oil-slick” issue. The built in screen protector is probably the biggest design flaw of the whole case. As much as I love it, this is why it has lost a complete “star” in my rating. If this weren’t an issue, even in light of the other cons listed below, I would have given the case a 5 star rating. I tried all the little tricks everyone mentioned when they have these issues with the screen protector, and nothing worked adequately to me. So, I cut it off. I had a screen protector on the phone already, so doubling up only was good if it were going to take a direct splash of liquid on the screen… which I will take my chances in avoiding. This m
