This is a slick looking case! Looks and feels great. I’m not to concerned about scratches along the side of my phone. When I do feel like I may need some extra protection I will throw it in an old blackberry sleeve. This back cover fights fingerprints, gives the phone a nice feel, and allows me to lay it down without the camera getting damaged or wobbling everywhere. I am a bit shocked about how well it was worked out. I wish there were more options. Black cactus leather is not bad. Reminds me of phones back in the day. However, a carbon fiber, real leather, different colors would have been nice.
