I drop my phone from my night stand and maybe a fumble during the day a couple times a month. Mix in alcohol and that average may tick up a bit. Bottom line, I am you stereotypical phone user. I have bought approximately 5 of these cases. The wear and tear is 3 months before you are start to see some serious degrade at the corners of the case. By six months, the case has seen better days and it is struggling to maintain a snug fit. I have complained about the quick deterioration. The only solution is to "upgrade" to one of their more robust case. Thus, making my phone a brick in my pocket and loses any aesthetic appeal brought by Caubade... This defeats the entire reason for why I was attracted to Caubade products in the first place.
