I think that when you put a case on a iphone, it changes the feel and takes away the sleek. However, that was not the case with this particular one. It maintained the perfect balance between protection and keeping the sleek feel. The case is not bulky nor is it thick, but it still provides your phone with maximum protection. In addition, the case covers every corner of your phone which is amazing. I highly recommend this case to anyone that owns a iphone.
