what did I expect for 9.00, well, I expected the case to fit the phone, which it doesnt. The box was torn, plastic looked handled and i put my S5 in it and it fell right out...what a waste of 9 bucks...it will cost just as much to mail it back. thanks best buy for a wonderful product

This is a very attractive case for my Samsung Galaxy S5. I especially like the metallic chrome buttons and the transparency. I like this case is not clunky looking like so many other cases, in fact it doesn't even look like there is a case on my phone. What is the point of getting a clunky case that covers up the color of your phone? The case has already protected my phone when I dropped it 2 weeks after purchase. The case is very smooth, so it you want a case that has a better grip, then this case is not for you.

got this for a steal because it was mis-marked in my local BB, and had reward points as well. Otherwise, would never spend this much on a case (I've never spent that much on a PHONE for goodness sakes!) That said, it's really unique and beautiful. the back sparkly section is actually 3-D crystals, so there's no glitter rubbing off on everything. Of course, it is very heavy and a bit sharp on the back, so you won't want to set it down on the antique table. It does grip nicely on my non-slip pad in the car though.
the gold around the edges is plastic, not metal, so while it protects the entire phone, don't expect the case to survive more than one or two drops. Mine has survived one drop onto tile, but not sure it will make it through a second one.

I have already had to replace this case at best buy, thankfully they allowed me to replace it because I only had it two weeks. the case pops off a little at the corner and you always have to adjust it, both cases have done this. I pulled my first case out of my purse and the bottom was broken, no fall or anything harsh having been done to it and I was relieved that best buy replaced it. That being said this case is so pretty, I know that sounds dumb but it really is. I have had so many cases on my phones and have never had so many compliments on a case as I have had on this one.The back of the case is smooth and comfortable to hold. If you purchase this case the website has it on sale and the store has it for 40.00 if you do purchase at the store make sure you ask them to honor the online price, which best buy is always great at doing.

This case seems pretty durable....fits the phone nicely. Easy enough to remove when necessary, but stays on great otherwise. The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars is that the edges of the case (down by where you plug the phone in to charge) are a little sharp! Would be better if it was rounded slightly. Other than that I am happy with the purchase and would purchase this type of case again.

This is like my third case for the GS5. I chose this one because I wanted to be able to see the actual color of the phone. Also, with some of the other cases, the color eventually got worn due to denim rubbing off on them, etc. I have not experienced that with this case. Plus the cost was pretty cheap!!

While this case is incredible blingy, it broke the first time it was dropped! It did however serve it's purpose and protect the phone, however, for the price I would have expected it to be around to protect the phone more than once! Thank goodness I just happened to purchase it in the holiday season, otherwise Best Buy would not have replaced it!

This is a very pretty case. It isn't bulky or heavy like some of the other case-mate cases. I wanted something glittery, sleek and stylish and this fit the bill for me. The other reviews were right and this case does come apart when the phone is dropped, but isn't that kind of the point? The case takes the energy of the impact so the phone doesn't? The couple of times my phone has been dropped the case has come apart but the case has not broken and neither has my phone so I am a happy customer.

It does what it's intended to do. I am usually pretty clumsy with phones, and it keeps the edges nice. I like that I can see the color of my phone through the case.

Thus case looks very cute but it's not that protective and it is very hard to hold because of its weird shape. The bottom by the charge port is open and uncovered and the bottom ends are very sharp when you hold it.

Case is nice for display purposes, but the plastic part that is to protect the edges of the phone is flimsy. Cracked easily, but company sent a replacement.

Although I find the cover to be a good cover, I don't think its worth the price. And it definitely adds a lot of weight to the phone. But I do like the trendyness of it. I probably would've waited until it went on sale, but there was only one left at my location.

Case is loose and pops off from time to time. However it is a beautiful case, very stylish and catchy!
