It is a clear case so it still shows off the beauty that is the iPhone, and slim so it doesn't bulk it up that much. Feels kind of rubbery, which gives you a good grip and seems like it'd give it a good bounce as well (have yet to test that feature). Also, if you have the LED alerts enabled and the phone is sitting on a desk or flat surface it will light up around the phone. All in all a pretty good choice by my gifter.
