Plastic is not so comfortable in the hand. could be part of it) However, if you need constant protection (kids and/or clumsy ones) and regularly plug in the switch, this case seems like the best way to go. I'm really surprised that all the snippets actually work well enough. The case fits well in the docking station. Considering what they're trying to do, this is a pretty impressive product.
