The phone fits well and the frame holding it is a rigid, glossy, black plastic. All ports and buttons are well exposed (Apart from the power and volume buttons) and there is no case interference with the rear camera or flash. The outside of the case is a smooth rubber coating that has a dry feel to it and the inside has a felt lining. You can fit more than one card in each slot which is convenient because I can carry my Student ID, Bank card and Drivers licence. It would be nice to have a flap to shut the cover with because when it lies closed on a surface the cover is not completely flat against the phone (when there are more than two cards in the case), but this is not a problem when your phone is in your bag or pocket. The cover does fold back completely against the back making it possible to lie the phone flat on a surface with the screen exposed and parallel to the surface. The built in stand works well, with enough resistance in the cover for the screen to stay in place. I can't comment on the longevity of the materials over time but for $25 everything feels well put together.
