I had an otterbox clear case that started falling apart (after 3 years) and I wanted something that was less bulky. I like this one, I was worried it would slip out of my hands but it has a very good textured surface that doesn't slip. The overall profile is smaller and it fits very well, after a couple of weeks of use I really like it. I use a magnet car mount and the metal plate is mounted to the back of my phone, this case works well and hasnt slipped off the mount. Its a very nice phone case and I will buy from these folks again.
