I must admit that I was hesitant about buying the case. I was wondering what more a branded case could have and whether it was worth the extra money. The answer to this question is many things. The quality of the case is excellent, you can tell immediately as soon as you hold the phone when it is wearing the case. Also, the textured design is awesome and the buttons can be pressed just as easily as when the phone has no case at all, which mostly doesn't apply to most cases I have tried.
