The style, the color, the durability of the case, and how the screen is protected were all top points for why I chose these cases. What I didn't realize is that the screen protector is a very soft (poor quality) plastic that scratched the first time my phone dropped and landed face down. The phone's screen was protected but the case's screen is scratched in several spots. I'm happy that my phone was saved but it's hard to see the areas of the screen where the scratches are. The scratches have lessened slightly over the past couple of weeks since it happened, but are still there.
