I actually like it. On my Optimus M, I see dust particles in my usb port all the time. I'm constantly blowing it out. I feel that this cover is better for the port. Though, I sort of like the way my M has it's SD card placement. Unfortunately to remove the back of the Ascend I have to slide it just the right way. The M is very simple, It's a pull off and snap on back. The Ascend is a slider, Sliders are just harder for me. So if my SD was located in the back of my Ascend like the M, I might get annoyed. My main wish is that they'd make longer charging/usb cords that come with the phone stock.
