my purpose for this case was to not only protect my phone, but to be easy to get on and off so i can easily swap my pictures under it. it's super difficult to remove, and i feel like i will snap my phone every time. ive been using it for just under a week, and it's scratched horribly. i always either carry it or have it in my car phone holder, so it's not been a situation where it would have been at risk of getting this horribly scratched. save yourself the wasted 10 bucks and find something better that won't look like it's years old and fought in battle after just a week.
