I was very curious about the camera cover and wanted a case with a built-in kickstand. Cover worked well for about 3 days then the dust/grit/pocket lint built up in it and made it very difficult to open. Cleaning helped immensely but only seemed to help for about 20 minutes. Not worth it. Kickstand was tight to get open the first time but worked easily after that. As far as protection, it's sturdy. A silicone layer followed by a plastic layer. I refuse to use screen protectors so I can't say anything about that other than the nice thunk it made in the trash can.
