Two plastic cases...

The first one I bought was the one with the two clips at the top of the top plate where only one of them clips and also this particular case doesn't allow the phone to slide up once it's slide down.

The better one IMHO and the one I bought today is the one that's easily better quality plastic but more importantly has the "ridge" b/w the D pad and the screen. If you see that it's a sign of a better case. This one has one large clip that the top plate uses to secure itself and so far I really don't have anything negative to say about it at this time.

So if you choose to use a plastic case instead of Silicone. I simply don't like the existing Silicone case period. Then look for the one that has the curved ridge b/w the Dpad and the screen.

Not exactly sure what but something causes the top corners on the sides of this case to crack. Quite strange.

It's a stress fracture that a great many crystal cases suffer from. It shouldn't happen so take it back!

Well this is Thailand and I seriously doubt whether they will be interested. They wouldn't let me return a faulty made Silicone case after 3 days of use. Different shop mind you but here return policies differ considerably.

also cracked after just a few days .. It didn't really fit perfectly to begin with - too much stress on those weak points.
I tried supergluing it back together - that worked but its hardly cosmeticaly acceptable 😞
So I'm now using the "leather" case that comes with the phone .. its been ok.

You just know that overtime that flip is going to gradually tear away from that case though. You can see how it's poorly designed such that as you flip it a crease will develop more and more.
