Everything about this case is exactly why I bought it. It charges easily with case on. Flip cover is magnetic, handy and protects screen. I've dropped the phone a few times, and protection is fine. It looks good. Cover works well as a stand. Price is super. So why a 3 star? The strips that prevent iPhone from falling out of the bottom of the case cover microphone and speaker, sometimes significantly interfering. After using for a month or so, it's really irritating me.

There are three major problems for the case:
(1) The support at the bottom of the case blocks microphone and speaker. This will interfere with your talk if you do not take the iPhone out of the case.
(2) The magnet is used for the flip cover. The magnet is not very robust and it is potentially harmful for the electronics.
(3) The proximity sensor is blocked by the support at the top. If you do not take the iPhone out of the case while you talk, you will get black screen even the phone is away from your ear, which makes it impossible for you to end the call. This is quite annoying sometimes.

I would not recommend this case to anybody.

This case was exactly what I was looking for, with a couple of exceptions. I have the original iPhone which may be why I am unable to charge it with the case on? A little irritating but I can overlook it because the case is nice. Also, the case had a slightly disagreeable chemical-like odor when I unpacked it but was able to air it out. The transaction was great and I would definitely use the seller again.

I really like my iPhone cover.
There are two small problems. When the cover is open, the iPhone can slip out.
Some apps can be difficult to use (at the edges of the screen) with the cover on.

If you like a case that you can carry your cards, ID etc. Also you can clip on your belt this is the case for you. I will purchase another one when this one wears out.

I know this is not the best written review. I had to say something because I do not see many cases that offer what this one does.

Everything is good if you are going for a case with belt clip however I did not want a belt clip...
