Although its appearance at first seemed similar to the original, in the end it turned out that as a mold it was smaller and did not fit uniformly on the entire phone. The bottom part of the battery did not button up the cover. Also, as a construction, it was very fragile as it cracked twice while trying to button it up. It came without volume and on/off buttons, which troubled me as I had to order buttons from abroad because I couldn't find them anywhere else. I had to heat it with a hairdryer to soften it and make it fit somehow, but still it didn't attach correctly. 1 for how much it troubled me.
