How well does this case age? One of my classmates has it, but his is all scuffed up and broken around the edges. Wondering if this is common...

Depending on how rough you are with it, it can get jagged and broken but I have had two and my first one I had for 1 year and a half and it's just a little scratched

I didn't find any issues with pressing the buttons. My overall concern was with how fast the case ripped and wore out. Maybe it's a result of pressing the buttons? If you are looking for a long term case I'd pass on this one until they make it more robust.

I've been using the case for about six months now, and not a scratch. As with any tablet case, just make sure you keep particulate clear of the case before snapping your tablet in. As for the backside of the tablet, it's not as prone to scratching with this style case (since the tablet "snaps" into the case, rather than sliding in and out). The micro fiber on the cover flap is really thin, so it doesn't trap much to scratch the front of the tablet. If I've rested the folded flap on a table where the kids may have left crumbs, a simple wipe before closing ensures the front will not be scratched.

I haven't had a problem with mine but I knew this was temporary until I could get the one case I really wanted. There is no warranty on the case as far as I know. Sorry you are having problems with yours.

It's pretty good, in my case at least. I've dropped mine countless times and it has yet to break (until I took it out of the case, dropped it on the ground accidentally, and had it run over with a truck). But yeah, it's a good case.

Mine was not, and tbh honest it was cheap I didn't use it nor would I have even if it was. They sell them for like a $1 separate, so that should tell you how durable they are. With that said, I love the case and have it in 2 colors.

I've had my case for almost 6 months and the finish started wearing off almost immediately. Having not read any other comments with this issue, I thought maybe it was just the case I had. My corners are all turning white. Other than that I love the case. But the wearing of the finish is an issue for me.

You might need to show us what case it is so I could help you. But you just said "this case came up", I was like "what case?" At least post a picture what the case look like or give me the link/website to the case. :)

I did not have any problem like yours. My only problem was the case itself broke quick. Other than the plastic it was fine

Hi. Our daughter (age 15) got this case. She really liked it, but she is kind of hard on things. The pearl came off pretty quickly. Then the lace started coming off, so she took it off. Recently, she dropped her phone, and now has a crack right down the middle of the screen. It could have been worse, I'm sure. She still uses the case. I hope this helps you. It wasn't as durable as some cases, but I think it probably did protect the phone from worse damage, not all damage.

Mine hasn't discolored and the UV coating on the case is supposed to prevent that from happening as advertised. I'm pretty happy with my case that I bought an extra one. Hope that helps!

I saw the same comments. I didn't see the sharp edges that some other people posted. Case didn't scratch my phone either. I've speculated that if there were sharp edges, maybe the manufacturing process has since smoothed them out.

I've had the case for a couple months now and see no signs of wear. I don't subject it to a lot of hard use though. The surface material is unusual and does seem to scuff slightly because it isn't "slick". I am pleased with it overall though and would buy it again.

Yes, after about 6 months of everyday carry [as in take it with me everywhere, everyday] it cracked. However, after 1 year of use it has still held on and protected the computer as required. The cracks are in 3 of the four corners of the upper [screen] case and the longest is about 1/8" visible from the top. There are no cracks on the lower case. For what I paid for the case [especially when compared to what the computer cost] and considering that the case functions properly and still looks almost new, I am quite happy with it.

Mine didn't come with scratches on it but it has gotten some over time. Also, it was kind of hard to put the case on but I don't think it will break.

It's a really solid case in my opinion. I have dropped my phone several times during school, and nothing ever happened to it. Even though I have had a good experience with the case, I would still recommend being careful because your experience may vary.

I bought mine in December of 2011 or very early January of 2012, and it is still in really good shape. The magnet and outer part of the case look like they did right out of the box, but on the interior some of the blue has peeled off the sides. It's not noticeable to anyone who didn't know what it looked like before. After almost two years of nearly daily use, it still works great!
