It's incredibly easy to take off. Not too easy that it would slip off the phone during regular usage, but easy enough if you need to handle the phone by itself. The best way to put it on is to slip the entire right side in first, since the camera and volume buttons have their own enclosed windows. Then snap in the left side of the phone, and you're done.
After seeing the rest of the competition that feature kickstands, the BG is the sturdiest by a longshot. The downside about the way it's set up, is that when you snap it open, it does expose the backside of the phone in that area where the kickstand opens up. About a one inch by one and a half inch horizontal rectangle to be exact. It's not the big of a deal really, but I just thought I'd mention it. Oh, and the other thing is that the power button part of the case is open ended. I haven't had any problems with that feature, but as a precaution, I do keep it upright inside my pocket, just in case.
The case itself is very smooth in texture, and quite elegant. It does resemble a skin, because I've had many people ask me why I have a purple phone. But besides that, it does it's job. As for the camera side, it has enough thickness and depth to protect the device if it fell flat (shallow fall of course). The speaker opening does allow you to hear it reasonably well, but there have been times when I've had the volume set at half, and I could barely hear it on my pocket. I guess that also depends on the type of ringtone you have set too. Mine is set on Modular Light, since it has a high tone.
Overall, if you're not the type that handles your phone every hour of the day, drops it often, or into rigourous activities that would endanger your phone, then you'll be fine with this case. It's a lightweight compared to the other durable cases out there, but it does give you a little protection. Perfect for office use.
I hope that mini review helps.
