I like the case that comes with it, it's easy to carry when taken out of the case, there are no buttons to get my hands out, I have them pulled out hand, aligned the propellers, turned it on and was ready to go, it was about 50% charged. When I saw the propellers were bent I thought I would have to tighten them but I didn't, I straightened them out without worrying about tightening and the drone works fine. The battery pulls out easily and charges with a micro USB cable for easy charging. The manual has QR code for IOS and Android in the manual, easy to use. I've used other drone apps where the phone didn't work properly at all, it responds fairly well to phone controls, and the phone can take photos and videos. I still prefer the remote control, and both the phone and the remote control have a button for takeoff and landing. It's a lot of fun for my son, he was able to fly it well, one note I haven't seen on other drones is that the controls adjust as you turn so you don't have to think about it going backwards. photos are good
