You could get a hooker in Vegas for $80 and she wouldn’t be nearly as ugly as that case.

*shrug* iLike it. Not gonna buy it, cuz I don’t have an iPhone, and tend to like the thinner (or non-existent) cases/screen protectors to thicker ones, but if I were to do so, this would garner some of my attention.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT.
Miniot sent me a badly made excuse for a case, the product was damaged out of the box, i ordered a logo- they got the placement and size of it wrong, the power button did not line up right and ended up dinging my phone, furthermore there are metal rods inthe back which they shoddily cover and of you don’t look to make sure they will scratch the back of your phone.
Miniot is a horrible company which refused to take responsibility for the damage there crappy case did to my phone, and refused to try and send me a working one….my suspicion is that all of them are slightly messed- they even admitted to me that the tolerances are still changing…..
GREAT PRODUCT IN THEORY, BUT FAR LESS THAN PERFECT.
IF YOU LIKE GREEN THINGS, DONATE THE $175 TO A CAUSE THAT PROTECTS TREES, AND DOESNT DESTROY THEM TO MAKE A PRODUCT THAT IS A SLIGHT STEP ABOVE FIREWOOD.
