It is a hard case, not easily removable, although this is also positive for security reasons, it just takes away a bit of convenience if you want to change the SIM, etc. The same thing happens with the camera cover, which can be quite troublesome if you don't have nails and a little patience. Other than that, it is very high-quality, sturdy, and has a clip to prop it up for vertical video viewing. It makes the phone look bulky and somewhat awkward to use, but if you don't prioritize those things, then your phone is definitely upgraded and protected 100%, which is the purpose of the case.

Update: 25-10-23 The small round piece in the middle of the phone came off over time along with the ring that functions as a stand, but I glued it back and put it back in place, and it's fine.
