It is very nice. Used it only for a couple months or so. Barely has a scratch. Bought it when I went to Texas where they actually had cricket services but now on back in Florida and no longer have use for it.
Cricket is and has been Nationwide for over a year now , and yes they have coverage in most of Michigan. More coverage in high populated areas than smaller towns, lower populated areas, etc. Greenville ,Grand Rapids, and Portland are fully covered! :) , Belding is mostly covered, Orleans is mostly covered only patchy near the airport, Ionia, Lowell, Saranac are covered but are a bit patch. If you need to pinpoint any specific location heres a link for Crickets Map Coverage :
