I have been using the same case for over 6 months, and it's a love-hate relationship. For normal stuff, you can keep it closed. Hard to open with one hand. I have had it fall and the phone kinda popped out. The padding on the inside is nice and soft, but there are some areas inside that could use it...and it's not there.
I did find that you can bend the case a bit to give a better hold on the phone, as well as making the lid stay tighter.
The cover gets really scratched up, but it's better than the phone!
I would give it an 8 out of 10. I had the Seidio rubberized case, and I didn't like how it separated the screen and the slide out keyboard.
My 2 cents worth, take it for what it is
