No quite what I expected

Cover arrived quickly. It was easy to install. I only wish that it wasn't transparent. I thought there would be enough "glitter" on the case to hide the ugly grey color. It was not, so I'll remove the case and add some colored paper or film to hide the ugly grey.

Did Not Protect

Do not buy a case from Case-Mate. This had ten foot drop protection, shock absorption technology, and repeatedly advertised lifetime warranty (which was always advertised to sound like it was for if the phone got damaged in the case). My phone dropped less than two feet from the ground and broke. I tried to file a claim, and was told in the fine print of some hard to find corner of Case-Mate's website where they never try to direct your attention, there was one line of text to say it would not help with device damage in the case. The warranty ($150) is for replacing a case of equal value. The most expensive case they sell is $80. They work to get what money they can, and your phone can easily break in one of their cases and they will not help.
I never bought such an expensive case before and I do not think I could ever justify doing it again. My phone is more susceptible to damage in this case than in any other case I have used (and I don't like to spend more than $20 on a case). This is the only phone I have broken, and it went through the least amount of falls, and yet it had the most expensive protection.
Just go get the $20 case that is meant to be sturdy. If you do not like it because it looks less fashionable, then think about how fashionable you'll look when you're standing with a broken phone that just cost you $1,000+ and a case that wasn't even worth $10.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hello, thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear that your device was damaged after being dropped. Our replacement warranties have always been for the case and not the device. We do not have or advertise an amount attached to our warranty. Our warranties are a case for a case replacement warranty and will depend on the value of your original case. No case manufacturer can guarantee that you will not incur damage when a device is dropped, we design and build for durability and protection to help keep your device safe. There is always a possibility of damage to a device if dropped no matter how durable the case is.
