This is the perfect case for those of us who are careful with out devices and want to enjoy the slim beauty of your iphone. For me larger bulky case take away from enjoying the beautiful screen. It gives me all the protection I need because I am very OCD about keeping my phone pristine. It has a great texture that feels good in your hands and provides excellent grip. It is the closest you can get to not using a case at all which is why I love it. I carry my phone around in a leather zip around wallet so it is secure. But with that I can take out my phone and enjoy all its splendor. I think I may buy a Sheath case as well for times I need more security but I truly enjoy the minimalism of the Veil case. Very highly recommended.
