Reviews:

Value for moneyRating: 3
The product is value for money. I have been using all the three items for past 3 weeks, no complaints what so ever
Moto V551 starter kitRating: 4
Great value. All the pieces seem to work fine and I am using them all - including the case. Quite happy.
Charger seems okay; other items are fair/poorRating: 3
Pros
- Inexpensive
- Charger seems to work okay so far
- Case provides some protection and also contains a clip

Cons
- I couldn't hear well at all through earbud (and neither could the people I called when I tested it).
- I was hoping the case would protect the camera lens, but they intentionally cut a hole in the plastic that surrounds the lens. If that worked as designed (so that the lens could "see" through the hole), that would be fine. However, when I flip open the phone to take pictures, the leather bunches up in a manner that covers the lens. I end up having to remove and/or hold back the top cover so that it doesn't get in the way of the lens. (Not a big deal if you don't use the camera that much, but it could be designed better.)
- Sometimes the plastic part that covers the display window doesn't stay snug to the display and shifts around. The plastic is also starting to peel along the edges.

In sum, it might be worth the low price if you aren't relying on all three pieces working perfectly. I found the earbud to be useless, but my overall rating for the kit is 'okay' for the price since the charger and case have some benefits.
