How protective is that case? do I still need to put the iPhone in an additional bag/case or can I just throw it in my purse? without scratching it?

It is protective of the iPhone casing but the face of the iPhone will always be vulnerable because it's glass. The plastic cover you apply to the face that comes with the case hasn't bubbled or scratched but I don not know how durable it really is, I am careful of the face. The corners of the case are beveled and that adds much needed protection to the face. Over all, I find the case impressive.

You still need the clear protective cover over the face of the phone, but other than that I just put it in my purse and don't worry about it.

To have full protection you will need a protective screen cover. With those two your phone will be pretty safe.

I give it a 8 on protection and there's no need for a additional case. But make sure you put a screen protector if you don't want it scratch.

No problem. I love this case, its very durable. My 2 year old has dropped my phone a few times and no issues. Only thing I can say bad is don't leave it in the sun or a hot car. Here in Arizona the temps get high. I made the mistake of forgetting my phone in the car. Came out to find the leather wallet sleeve came away from the hard plastic. Some super glue fixed It right up tho. Looks like nothing ever happened. Good luck on your purchase.

Excellent question. I purchased my otterbox case the same day I purchased my iphone5s. I will remove my iphone from its case and post a review with some pictures within a few days. :)

Hello. I am happy with my case. I have a photo cover on my iphone 5 and it fits great in this case. There is not room enough for an otter box or similar in it though. The velcro is not as strong as other cases I have used but it is not bad either? I guess if I was going mountain climbing I would choose another case but for everyday running around it seems fine to me. Hope this helps.

I haven't taken it out yet. :) But it was quite easy to put on so I can't imagine it being hard to take off. I like the added screen protection, the easy to use "easel" type built in stand, and the rubber outside casing, I've found no reason to remove it from this case. And it's still very lightweight I believe. I hope that helps your decision.

It's very nice and seems very protective. Not going to experiment to find out...LOL I did order another case that was suggested for it, Poetic brand , leather, and makes a stand and also has slots for cards and stylus if used. Using the included cover for now as I love the color and don't carry Tab around in purse, using it at home. Hope this helps...

The computer itself has a sturdy case especially if the key board is attached. The extra cover should help reduce scratching. Drop any computer just right (especially on corners) and it can shatter the glass etc. To be honest, I have never used my case. However, I have taken my 2 in 1 on several trips without any scratches or other damage.

Maybe one of those really thin bumpers. The case is really snug. If the bumper is sticky silicone it might be hard to slide in. I use it w/ just my plain iphone and it is awesome! I get so many compliments!

comes in 2 pieces.. one rubber, which goes on the phone first... the second is the hard shell... the hard shell is not very good (a corner chipped off of mine about 3 weeks after I bought it.)Since you already have a rubberized shell... you probably don't need the outer hard shell... BTW: mine chipped from just the pressure of being in my pocket, so I doubt it will be any good in a fall or with analternative backing such as what you already have.

I've had my blue one for about a year. I put mine in bags with other stuff and have to admit I tend to toss my bag at the end of the day. It's been dropped and rubs against things in my bag. It has one teeny, tiny scratch.

its fine, and quite protective of the IPOD you lose the thinness of the IPOD but get the protection. . i personally find the silacone casing sticks in my pocket.... i liked the sliky feeling of an unprotected Ipod in my pocket but given that most 3rd part companies are not fixing IPOD 5s yet, go with the protection and this is WAY cheaper than Otterbox.

Unfortunately, it does scratch and it'll be < week. Nothing you can do !Even as scratched, it is still one of the best for revealing your phone !!!

I was very concerned by this, too. There is a tiny bit of padding where the iPad connects, therefore if you are careful, it will not scratch.

Mine is first gereration. I love my case. I can use it as a wallet when shopping, saving the need to carry a purse. It holds three for four credit cards, your license and a dollar or two. Great for hands free shopping. I also have droppedmy phone many times without a scratch. Don't overstuff it though. Then the lining comes apart. I'm thinking of ordering another one. I get compliments on it all the time. People ask where I got it.

This isn't an iphone. It's a case. And the case isn't really sturdy. If you're really concerned about breaking your iphone I would suggest a more-sturdy option like an otter box.

I just got this and took it on a trip - the phone has done fine and no issues at all. But now I'm concerned about tossing my phone in my purse and having it damage something else.

@ K.R. Marlo - Couldn't agree more. A little common sense would really help these designers. I know it's difficult to anticipate all of the different cases, thickness, etc but there is no way I'd ever buy this product if I have to take my iPhone out of it's case every time I use it or not have my iPhone in a case at all. Sigh...the search goes on.
