This was as pretty as it looks in the picture, which was the main reason I bought it. The cover isn't super thick, so it allows it to slip into other Ipod accessories like speakers, where my previous cover didn't (I had to take it out everytime!) so that was a very nice surprise. Cover fits the phone nicely and I have dropped it a couple of times and the cover hasn't popped off nor broke (granted, they weren't long drops...)
