Query: Not as effective as it may appear

I have owned this case and suggest you find another option. Yes, it will protect your phone from most falls or knocks and it is nice looking. However, the phone will most likely fall out the case at any moment and hit the ground unprotected (although the open case will be safe on your belt - not good). The case in general is heavy and after some use the clip mount will loosen and evenutally may fail as with mine (the clip button broke). Using the phone in the case can be a pain as well.
