Yes, I have that case too and love it - but I also have another from Amazon which I love, which is very diffferent. This has velcro over the top, is showerproof and has a small zip pocket for carrying change or a key. There's a neck/wrist strap too.
I find both useful for different occasions, so you may want to think of having more than one, Jackie!
