This is a really nice case which I think greatly enhances the look and feel of the Nokia 6700. It makes the phone easier to grip while operating the buttons and keeps your fingerprints away from the camera lens. The gel skin gives some impact protection, but it is not a "case" in the sense that I understand it, because it only covers the back of the phone - the front is still open to the elements. So you will need the free screen protector that comes with it. The case is not as waterproof as it looks, so be careful if you use the phone in the rain and make sure none has managed to get between the case and the phone. I have ended up putting my phone, with its gel cover, into a protective sock, which rather defeats the purpose of having a protective case.
But overall I am really happy with the gel cover because it does make the phone easier to grip and use. The gel cover is stylish and the sock is not (so I keep that in my pocket).
