I bought this case to protect my new phone, and didn't expect it to last long. ACTUALLY, it's great. I've dropped the phone a couple of times (small distances) and there have been no breaks, or cracks or problems. The "rubberized" coating is just that... a coating. It's pealing off, but the hard plastic case behind it is just a semigloss black color, so I'm not worried about it. Not a great quality finish, but a very durable case. If you only need it for protection, and not asthetics... it's the case for you. It will keep the scratches, bumps, and drops from reaching your phone. Fits perfectly, has all the proper cut-outs, and openings, and slides right onto the phone. I'd recommend it for protection, but not necessarily if you want the finish to hold up long.
