I’ve tested innumerable cases and this case has all of the things I look for. Easy access to all features coupled with all around protection. The removable clip flexibility is easy for a case maker to implement, and I’m surprised more don’t do it. I am also impressed by the price. I’ve seen similar cases for ten bucks more, and I’m not sure where the money is going. For my money, the Monaco case is a great choice. When I’m not testing other cases, this is the one I’ll use for day-to-day use: until I get restless or find something better.
