I prefer that rather than the cases that make you remove the Apple one. Even when you pay a good price for something, quality just isnt as common as it used to be years ago, when pride in workmanship really was the norm. I ordered an 8, I probably could get away with a 7. In this picture is my older Windows phone, which is 6 inched long. They feel very comfortable & sturdy. Its truly the game changer for me. I used the box it came with to lay on, and the styrofoam to hold up the opposite end i was screwing. I have had no blisters and no PF since using these shoes. Bluetooth has definitely come a loooong way. Looks aren’t that important to me, but it looks like a factory part.
