Definitely a Great Case!!
After reading some of the other reviews for this case, I pulled the trigger and ordered one at the whopping $10.00 that they are asking for it. Now, this is not Otterbox quality but it is not that far behind. I would like to see an integrated clear screen cover like the Otterbox Defenders generally have, but then, rest assured that the price will go up $20-$30. To verify, I have the 8200 model S3 Mini and this case fits like a glove!For the price, this case is awesome. I read some things in the reviews about removing this or that, for this function or that function. It's a case for your phone! It's designed to protect your phone. Everything functions (on/off and volume) as it should with the phone inside the FIRST two layers of security. If you have the phone inside the first two layers and then put inside the 'clip holster', you will not be able to plug it in to charge it unless you modify the case and drill a hole in the bottom retainer. I would not call this an 'issue' because IT"S PROTECTING YOUR PHONE! I like the fact that the screen is further protected when it is inside the 'clip holster'.I actually took the clip off of the holster to streamline the case a little more. I keep mine in a pocket or in a backpack. I don't clip my phone to my belt or anywhere else - why run the risk of having it come unhooked, for ANY reason.This is a ten dollar case. It is not an Otterbox. It has ample protection for the phone. It's a tough looking little thing but I like it. If I know anyone who decides to minimize and buy a 'Mini' phone, I will recommend it.

Close Enough
The case itself is fine. It has a harder piece and and flexible guard piece that makes a prettt solid csse. The kickstand sticks and is very flimsy. The biggest drawback is that my charger won't fit snuggly or stay connected when the case is on. The stylus and clip piece are ok but not really needed for me. You get what you pay for. I didn't want to put a lot of money into a case. I'm happy with the case but would be happier w/o the kickstand.

Works good so far
Works good so far. My only complaint is the belt clip pops off the holster about once a day when being manipulated, but it does pop right back on. On the other hand, I'd rather it come off easily and reattach than break. So maybe not a gripe at all. Worth the cost.

Purchased as replacement for prevous case that broke in a week and had the belt clip snap off in a week, but was able to repair it. I guess I am just too hard on or expect too much from this type of product.

I'm Happy with my purchase
I'm Happy with my purchase. It operates just fine and the price was right. I had a leather case before and the leather covered belt clip was veryhard to clip on my belt. In time the leather wore off the clip.

Case good/ belt clip poor
The case fits well and is very protective which is good because the FIRST time I got into the car and snagged the seatbelt with the belt clip-case holder, it promply separated from the belt clip and dropped my new phone to the driveway. My Droid X belt clip holds the mini in its case just fine and isnt as much work to get out.

saving face
exactly what I needed. Only reason I didn't give 5stars is due to removing top for use of phone. Still need the protection this cover provides. 100% satisfied.

Ordered this for my brother, he loves it, however, it took about 1 1/2 months to get here.
