This is a very nice shell; not perfect, mind you, but far better than most. The deep red cannot be properly captured on camera, it's much darker than the original red shell. The matte finish feels fantastic, though mine sadly came with a blemish. I opted to put it on regardless, but for how much this costs I expected better quality control. The included tri-wing screws and driver are garbage, this cannot be ignored and should be addressed in the future. I had to re-use my original screws, that's how bad the included ones were. The rest of the screws worked just fine and the driver for them I will be keeping for future projects. Something to be aware of: the matte finish is a fingerprint magnet, such is the nature of the finish, it's unavoidable. In no way is this a negative, just something to be aware of.
Solid case w/ some decent buttons etc comes with two different versions of springs for the bumpers (clicky clacky, and quiet). I had to cut part of the case with some wire cutters to fit my ips screen. (The PCB that was included with the screen couldn’t fir because the tiny ribbon cable was to close to the edge of the screen.
