what kind of shock resistance does this cover have, i am looking for very good protection but also want something that is attractive and not too bulky

The leather does really well with with shock absorbtion but sadly the case inside that holds the phone is very flimsy. The corners have broken on my girlfriends but the phone still holds in place.

shock resistance is better than the plastic cases, not as good as an Otter Box type cover.

I didn't get this exact one. I had a different case from this company but it was made well. Decent amount of cushion but not too bulky. This case looks like the one I got but just a different pattern. Def a good quality case. Your phone would be protected 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.

Not entirely sure about shock ptoctection but once installed within the case it is surround by approx 3mm of aluminum and sits within very snug.

This type of case does not protect against dust or dirt. If you need that type of protection you need to look into the ones that guard against shock, dust, dirt and water. They are much bigger than this case and not as pretty. If you take your phone into places where it might get wet or there is dust you need more protection.

It's not as thick as I thought it would be. It also doesn't seem like it would protect much as far as shock/dropping. And the case is super slippery.

Not very bulky, takes a decent hit, you have a lot of mobility even when you have the shoulder protectors on. The only down side is that when people look at it they think its bullet resistant.

I recommend something much more padded. If dropped it will not protect your computer. It is more for looks than anything. Hope that helps.

Defender has more parts and belt clip. By more parts I mean is very well protected and has outside cover that is made of rubber so it doesn't slide and it has plastic cover in front. However it makes is bigger and doesn't fit well in locker due to the runner cover and the size. The commuter is very stylish and thin-has 2 parts: rubber on site and plastic outside. The cons are it slides vey far and slips out of hands where defender doesn't. So each one has pros and cons. I just bought commuter and I didn't like it much just because I've dropped it at least. 20 x I'm the last 3 days that I've had it. I'm really afraid one one day when it falls out of my hands or slips the screen will just crack. Defender has more parts and belt clip.

This case has a lip around the screen so if it were to hit the ground face first the screen will remain untouched. I don't use screen protectors because they are a pain in the butt to install and they sometimes take away from the resolution. Just use the phone without one.....that's just my opinion of course....Overall it's a great case, I've dropped my phone a handful of times and I'm surprised at how well it absorbs shock due to how thin it is.

The phone provides an excellent shock absorption system to reduce shock to your phone. It will protect your phone from drops if they accidently happen.

well if you want the best protection you should definatly go for a skin with a hard aoutside and something soft inside. some skins are even water proof for the extra price. if you don't realy go for the hard skins if you get a soft skin thats got a rubber out side it can absorbe some shock of falling but doesn't protect the screen as well...

Protected and shock resistant is 100 %... Protected in the water? NO! I will tell you don't take it in the swimming pool....It is the best case but I will NOT risk my iPhone to swim! Before this case, I had Lifeproofe and it was very bad coality! Bye

I believe this rubberized case will absorb a lot of shock but if it falls a certain way, your screen will break. For example, as long as you don't land your ipad mini screen on a rock, you are fine:)

This is the case I have and it is 0.4" thick. iPhone 5s Case, LUVVITT [ClearView] Hybrid Scratch Resistant Back Cover with Shock Absorbing Bumper for Apple iPhone 5 /5s - Crystal Clear It fits very well in this VERY NICE case. Not loose, but not too tight either. You will love the Knox case. Very durable and the swivel feature is great for positioning while driving. One thing though, make sure the case is clipped on a belt for best security. I hook it on my waist band sometimes, but it will get pulled off. That's only happened twice, when got hung up on seat belt. My suggestion would be to not go more than 0.6" thick. I really like the plastic cover I bought above to go with the Knox case. A winning combo!!!! Hope this helps.

no it is not near as nice as the life proof case. it is not shock resistant either. I dropped my phone in real lifeproof case multiple times, no problem. 2 days after I switched ....when dropped my phone screen shattered.

If you are looking for complete protection this is not it. That said this is a fantastic thin case. Much better then other very thin cases

I have dropped it but usually when I am sitting and the fall is not so dire. However, I find the protective cover to be one of the best I've had. Even if it falls directly on the screen, enough of a buffer is in place from the outer cover to shield it from touching any surface. It has a soft rubber case that is covered entirely by a hard cover case. Based on my own experience I would recommend it.

More than likely the angle at which your phone hit the surface. For best "fall" resistance you are probably better off with a big clunky Otter case. I've never dropped a phone but like to keep them in a case (always Dizyronic unless they don't make it for whatever device I have) yo protect against scratches.
