The Skin Case does leave the keyboard uncovered for easy access and typing. The only thing we could suggest to be slightly improved here is the amount
of space between the bottom of the keyboard cut-out and the space bar. At times, the lack of space can cause it to become difficult to press the space bar
although after getting used to the case, it became easier.

All the features on the top of the phone are conveniently left wide open for easy access. Unlike some snap cases, the IR port is not blocked by this case
a definite plus if youre doing a lot of beaming. The SD card slot is also easily accessible, as is the ringer switch.

The back of the case leaves a perfectly placed opening for the camera, so you wont have to remove the phone from the case in order to snap a few photos.
It also includes a cut-out for the speaker and stylus. We found that the stylus cut-out took a little getting used to, as the additional thickness of the case
made it slightly tougher to get your fingers in to dig out the stylus.

The case also features a lanyard hole which allows you to use the case to hold tight around your neck or wrist.
