The case consists of two pieces. The back is hard and snaps perfectly. The side point is uncovered. The downside of the case is the front point. It is soft and has tapes all around to stick to the phone, making it difficult to remove. Also, the part where the pen goes is on the top case and side, making it a bit difficult to write on the small screen. Overall, it is a good case but I wouldn't buy it again, I would get the slim version or a case that has the pen on the back because it is bothersome on the side.
