I don’t have to remove my phone from the case to charge. The strap is much better than the plastic ones that quicksilver had in their line up as its made of fabric on this one and the piece that goes between your toes is not overly thick. This was a birthday gift for our 3-year old granddaughter. I am soooo disgusted! 5 in the regular skinny foot sandals so I stuck with that when I ordered these. The atmos makes this purchase an even better deal. Great price for a classic look. It doesnt protect the whole case so it is kind of useless. I don’t know if I want to go through the hassle of retuning and I can’t get in the same color in my size and wide :( without slipping or making slapping noises.
