Nice slipcover
Lighter green than in picture, but otherwise accurate as pictured. Looks and feels very nice and fits well on my over-sized couch. Would buy again.

Best bang for the buck off-contract phone
I think this is the best cost to features phone you can buy off-contract. Intuitive design; haven't read the manual yet and haven't needed to. No problems activating on T-mobile - working fine with texts, data and calls. Fast processor, 2GB RAM so plenty of operating system memory, 32GB ROM storage (around 23GB available), plus slot for SD card of up to 64GB so plenty of space for books, movies, photos, games, etc. Must remove phone back to access SD slot. Sound is very good through headphones, except is too loud for me - I have to turn down the volume on the headphones as well as the phone to get it low enough. Ironically, sound w/o headphones is not as loud as I would like in noisy environments. Call quality is v.g. - no problems getting signal, person I'm talking to sounds clear and natural and I'm told that there is no problem with reception on receiving end. Too much bloatware; all apps should be uninstallable and it annoys me that I have to waste any of my precious storage space AND operating system memory on apps I don't want and will never use. Making phone calls takes more steps than it should (4 or 5 when should be 2 at most), but I can hopefully fix that when I get around to reading manual, lol. Google playstore is preinstalled; I was able to add Amazon Appstore, Kindle and Nook apps, FBReader (the best ereader app, period), firewall and anti-malware apps w/o problems and all seem to be working well. There is a built in media player, but I installed a few separate apps I like and some games and other utilities - all working same as on my tablet (or better). Camera is good - not fabulous but not awful either. Screen is great- super sharp and clear with great color balance, saturation and detail. Touch screen is super responsive. Button placement is annoying as hell - constantly pressing on/off button, camera button or volume when I don't mean too - buttons should be recessed or else all located outside of the middle grip zone. If I grip the phone in the middle in the most natural way, my index finger hits the on/off button and I hit the volume up and down buttons with my thumb; if I try to grip higher or use my other hand, I hit the camera button - camera button should be on top and volume rocker moved to where camera button is, move on/off further up on other side and that would solve the problem while still having buttons easily accessible. As it is, you have to grip the phone loosely in order not to push buttons while using it, which greatly increases the risk of dropping it (hmmmmm - deliberate bad button placement to shorten product life? I mean, why (seriously, why???) locate buttons in such rotten spots otherwise?) I like the big clock, weather display and search box in default setup; even like default blueberry wallpaper, lol. Battery is outstanding with bluetoooth and wifi off; barely adequate if they are left on all the time. I don't use bluetooth and turn off wifi when I'm not using it (super easy to do - two swipes to put on or off) and am getting 1 to 2 days useage between charges. If I leave wifi on and use continuously, I get between 6 to 10 hours (more graphic intensive use seems to drain battery quicker). Battery is 3200mAH - wish it was 5000. Battery is user replaceable, which is a huge plus.
So, biggest issues - button placement and volume in noisy environments. Everything else is good to great to awesome.
