On the top of the smartphone there are mechanical keys to lock the screen and adjust the volume. The back of the case is entirely made of matte plastic. The speaker and camera of the device are reliably recessed into the case and are framed by protective frames made of metal. On the bottom there are holes for charging and connecting to a computer, and on the top we can see a jack for connecting headphones or a stereo headset.
