These cases are beautiful.  Unfortunately, I bought 2 that didn't even last a year.  My purple one is in better shape mechanically than my hot pink one but the purple is peeling off in the front where you open it.  My pink case stopped closing securely so I'm thinking the spring part that allows it to close tightly and stay that way wore out.  I take my glasses (both pair) on and off a few times a day and was hoping my cases would last a few years since I initially liked them so much.  I probably would have given 5 stars had I not had these issues in a years time.
