Love the patent leather and matte leather combo. Do not buy this product it is a waste of money and now I can?t return it. Notice the length and location of cable is off. I went hiking in California and walked through the tide pools on the coast and they did me well. Pick up a pair and make your feet happy. However, the pattern of the flowers is a bit of a gamble. It does have a plastic material feel, as long as youre not too rough or drop them repeatedly they should last. Because it clings to the actual buds case, its almost impossible to line up all the edges and cut outs to make it look neat. This makes it great for noisy environments. When I opened the package it was in plastic.
