is it just for looks or does it protect it from dropping on like say,concrete?

The case is tough not just for looks as far as concrete goes yes I have dropped my phone from about 36 inches any higher I could not tell you. The corners are a hard plastic type material. This is a good buy for the price I am very happy with this case. the kickstand is a big bonus. Hopefully this answers your question

Will not provide protection for major drop great for bumps and minor incidents

I believe it is there for protection while home is being competed by contractors. I removed it once everyone was out of house. It makes it look more finished.

The lip of the case sticks out a good amout to protect the screen. This will mostly protect the screen when dropped on a flat surface. If the the phone is dropped face down on rocks, then it's all about luck. But mosr cases are made to be dropped on flat surfaces.

Yes, it provides some protection as soon as the screen isn't hit directly while it falls. Anyway, a three feet drop is high... For that maybe another type of case, a thicker one, could be more useful. My nephew of 5 years uses the tablet with the case, and he is very careful, he sits down and is not walking around with it, that can help too.

It's really for the back. It's extends over the face a little so that if it falls face down the glass shouldn't hit the ground. But no face protect.

I did but it landed on the back corner. There was no damage. I can't say for sure that it will protect it from all drops or falls but it would certainly help protect it.

No it protects the back. It has a little lip around the front. If the phone lands flat the front might not crack.

The case is made of a fairly stiff rubber. It will protect the phone from scratches but I don't think it would provide as much cushioning in the event of a drop as some other cases that use a softer silicone for their inner shell. Having said that, I have never dropped my phone in this case before. It looks like others are reporting it does protect against drops.

Yes it protects the phone just fine if you don't drop it, as there's no front protection. The case is hard on the back and the sides are a soft plastic, so it makes it easier to grip the phone.

I haven't dropped mine. It looks COOL, but that might be form over function. LO'B

it is a hard silicone so it is SURE gonna cover the front and protect against drops

It looks and feels like it could protect it from a decent drop, say 5-6ft. I wouldn't jump on it but it looks like it is solid. There's no way you'll have a scratch. It's lined with a wool like layer that is really soft.

That's exactly why I bought it, it has raised edges that surround the edges of the phone so if you happened to drop it face down, you have nothing to worry about. I've dropped my phone face down on concrete and other hard surface and with this case on, it's yet to crack. Hope that helps.

There is a rounded ridge around the case - this also offers protection to the screen - at least, that is what I believe. I've not dropped mine on concrete, but my kitchen floor, and it's fine.

It only protects the small part around the front. The blue part you can see from the image posted. My phone has landed screen down on concrete twice and that small part of the case has Protected my phone screen from breaking. Not sure if I'm making any sense... The small rim of the case that covers the front screen has protected it from breaking, it lands on a flat surface so what hits on the phone is the case covering in the front....

It has a smooth bevelled lip to protect it, very rigid. Dropping it on rough surfaces shouldn't be an issue with the thickness of it.

It doesn't matter what you protect your phone with if you drop it from a great height there is a chance of damage, but this is a rubberised case and will definitely protect the edges if you were to drop from a medium height. I feel safer with it on.
