Will this case absorb the shock if I drop my ipod in it?

Depends if you drop it on a carpeted surface yes. If it falls on tile or concrete may not hold up

I own the same case and have dropped my iPod plenty of times in it and my iPod is fine, but the distance it fell wasn't super far, just about the distance from my couch to the floor.

It's protects the iPod against any falls so yes but the case does not cover the edges along the screen so the screen is not protected as should be. If iPod with this case on fell face down screen could shatter. I hope this answers your question.

Hi Eric, I've had the case since August. It's always in pocket and I've dropped it a number of times and no signs of damage to the case or to my Ipod. It really is pretty tough. Hope this helps. Ron

No, the case is the same exact size as the phone. So if you dropped it face down it could get scratched.

Hi Leanyka R! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) Our case will offer moderate protection in the event of a fall, it has good quality cushioning and is well constructed. Of course we cannot claim 100% shock resistance like the Otterbox or Lifeproof cases for you, but it does a good job of protecting your phone along with looking great!:-) Hope this helps, please do contact us at our storefront email if you have further questions.

I have dropped it from 10ft+ easily and it has done nothing to the phone inside. The outside silicone cover works well to absorb shock. Don't try smashing it or dropping it from like 50ft though...not sure how that works

My daughter (she's 9) has only had it for about 6 weeks now, & so far we have not had any problems with the case at all. She has an Ipod Touch 5 & only dropped it once in the garage on the concrete floor with this new case - and nothing happened to the case or the Ipod. She also does not take the case off on a regular basis.

I would not say it is shock absorbing however I have dropped my I phone 5S a few times now and nothing has happend to the phone itself the case has a couple of scratches and dings from the fall but is still in excellent shape. I really do recommend this case it looks great with the phone and keeps the phone from being damaged.

If someone tries to grab it from you will they get shocked if they touch the sides of the device?

Absolutely! My 8yr old just dropped this out of a moving vehicle yesterday, the case protected my ipod perfectly. I figure if the ipod wasn't damaged after being dropped out of a moving vehicle while in this case than NOTHING can hurt it...lol! I absolutely LOVE this case! I just wish it had easy access to the charger port like it does for headphones. But I can garentee you will love it!!! I do :)

Oh yeah. I have a pair of Shure 215 in-ear monitors. Even though they have their own zippered case, I wouldn't hesitate a moment to store them in this. Once inside this case, they are basically surrounded by soft rubber. If dropped on a hard surface, it would bounce, absorbing the energy of the fall. The worse that might happen would be the headphone earbud actually popping out of the case because this is how they're removed normally and it's also where the rubber is the thinnest. Provided you don't make it a habit of tossing your earphone case to the ground, you'll feel your headphones are safe inside this case because it's fairly large and flexible. Oh yeah.

yes ... very much so . I've dropped mine twice and the plastic took the impact and the rubber coffin took the after shock ... no problem.

It is VERY bulky. It's designed to be foolproof, so it's almost like a bumper. I used my ipod in a gym where it's constantly being dropped, so it suits that need very well, but for something you want to keep in your pocket, there are probably better options

Yes it does but is not intended for it. I've dropped mine a few times and the case just opened when touched the floor receiving all the impact

I am assuming you are asking whether the side of the iPhone can be well protected from any shock (dropping accidently). This cover provides tight contact to the phone so it won't slip out and provide good absoprtion from any shock.

No, it's a sort of hard plastic that holds the device in the binder. The outer case seems sufficient to absorb shock though.

Yes, if it doesn't fall down! It takes a bit of a light touch to balance the unit whichis incredibly top heavy this was designed for an iPod. Mine is collecting dust now as i"'m tired od doing battle with it! I stmil Disapprove of this unit.afterthought unit!
