Is this case good for protecting against falls?

No. I dropped my Galaxy S5 that I've only had for 6 weeks completely face down on the garage floor and I now have a gouge and a crack through my screen. The only thing on the garage floor was the normal garage floor dirt so I would choose a case with a larger front lip.

My phone just dropped from the top of my freezer (5'4"), hitting the top of the refrigerator door (3'6") before landing on the lineoleum floor. The phone is still perfect (functioning as normal, and not a scratch or dent to be found when I removed the case) and the case doesn't even have a scruff on it. I am about to order this case in more colors.

I would say no. Its well made but its not made for protection if you drop it.

I'm not sure about a drastic fall, but it at least keeps everything together and behind something. So even if it is dropped in the case, the front/back has a bit of protection and at worst, the sides, have at least a zipper between the system and floor. It is okay for falling, but a different case would probably be more protective.

It offers almost zero protection against falls. In fact, I could argue that the extra weight makes it worse than an iPhone with no case, since more weight means more kinetic energy when it does fall.

If it falls on the side with the rubber, I think it would be fine. If it falls on the side with the face of the device, it would likely crack. I think that it is great for small drops and bumps, but would not withstand a harder fall.

Yes. That type of case will help prevent it from cracking and breaking so that type of case is very good for drops.

You can put on the case and it protects from falls. The case comes with two seal in sticker/ screen protector sheets. Those can be removed but they are meant as a one time use seal. I am currently using the case without the sticker seal and it protects fine from falls. Only problem is how expensive it is.

Yea i bought a screen protector with the case. I think it will protect it if your phone falls on one of the sides or even face down because the case does come up over the edges but the screen is fully exposed. So if something were to fall on it or it fall on a corner, it would probably do some damage.

I believe it would protect it from minor scratches and bumps, but it would not protect it well enough from a major drop or fall.

There's some resistance, but you can grip ot without it falling. And if it did the case can withstand the fall

It will protect the phone from scratches and chips. I would trust it for a very short drop but nothing substantial. It is more cosmetic than protective.

It's very thin for mainly for surface protection, but it might not be enough for high impact drops. I've only dropped my phone once - form about waist height to asphalt, and luckily it landed case down. No damage to the phone, but the metal plate got dinged up (I'm referring to the previous elago S5 case I had). If you tend to drop your phone a lot I wouldn't suggest this case, but if you're looking to just protect the outsides with something minimal that doesn't change the feel of the phone, than this is it.

I am not using this case for that reason. I don't trust it for protecting my phone if it falls. Being that I live in NY and it is cold and snowy. I bought an otterbox commuter. It can and will protect your iPhone.

Personally I feel like this case protects my phone very well from normal falls. I have dropped it and it has been fine.

while I wouldn't reccomend dropping your phone from any substantial height, it protects it from small falls like off of a counter off of a couch. I wouldn't trust it if my phone fell down the stairs or on the concrete though.

I didn't. I am sure though it's not to protect from a fall on a hard surface (though I've seen iPhones survive on their own).I bought this case to protect from scratches, dirt and wear of being carried in a bag, in a pocket with keys, left in a car compartment or car floor and things like that.Rugged cases are bulky, look somewhat silly and give a protection for something that is quite unlikely to happen, in my opinion.

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.
