How does this protect the phone?

I dropped my phone with this on and it definitely prevented it from chipping/cracking or the battery coming apart, etc. It cushioned the fall and nothing happened to my phone. Nothing covers the screen, but I'm happy with the protection it's given so far.

It's held in by a hard rubber/flexible plastic casing. It's very good at keeping it in place and doesn't let the phone slide around at all. It's also very minimalistic. I haven't taken my phone out of it except for one time, but there was no stretching (or cracking like when dealing with hard plastic).

I'd say it protects against scratches to the phone's body. I have dropped it a couple of times without any issue, but this thing is by no means an Otter Box or Lifeproof. The case is a flexible kind of plastic, so it does absorb a bit of a fall. I'd go with this case if you're just looking to keep the phone looking clean over time. If you're prone to dropping your phone, I'd suggest something a little more durable.

It protected my phone when it landed screen side down. I feel that this case gives me adequate protection. I don't think any case maker can make a claim that the phone will always be protected 100% of the time, (crazy accidents sometimes happen), but, I would say based on how it has worked for me that 98% of the time you would be covered with this case if you dropped your phone. Hope this helps!

No, it protects the phone as any other cover would. Phone feels same with or without the cover. Already paid for itself after first drop.

I dropped it. Nothing happened, but it wasn't a drop from a far distance and I also have a screen protector. So, I'm not too sure how much the case aided in protecting the phone

It covers the back and around the phone. However I have not had a problem with the protector since is purchased it. It works.

It has the rubber gasket feel that covers the phone, then a hard plastic that goes over the rubber. The plastic is stiff and molds the to phone. It has protected my phone from my three year old who likes to play games, then throws my phone.

It does and it 'really' does protect the phone. My phone has fallen many times and it is still going.

Not sure what you mean... For one, the phone isn't waterproof, but it is water-resistant. The screen protector won't affect how well the phone resists water... It will protect the screen in the event of a drop tho.

It protects it greatly. The sides are very spongy so when phone falls ( if you happen to let fall purposely), it will be well protected. I have never dropped my phone but there is always a first time for everything right?

Plastic screen protector that prevents scratches and extra strength to the glass if it is dropped. I have used this case for 6 months now and dropped my phone several times and no break. It is very thin and I was not sure it would really protect the phone, but it has been put to the test several times and has done the job.

I'm Sorry it's a does not, protect your phone From Falls at All, be very careful, screen is fully exposed, and is most vulnerable!

it has a rubber piece that goes around the phone and a hard plastic shell that locks it in place. I believe it is of better quality than the defender. I have dropped and thrown my phone without any damage. also the port holes are covered which keeps out dust.

No it doesn't. I was not impressed with it at all. It's made out of a rubber and only covers the back of you phone, leaving the front exposed. Also the chain on the handle so plastic. Was intending on returning mine, but waited sadly waited too long. I honestly would not recommend ordering this,

Yes, there's a hard clear plastic cover. It makes the phone a bit less sensitive to touch than the flexible plastic covers I think, though probably better protected in the event of a direct screen impact. Seems more likely though for a dropped phone to impact on the back, sides, or front rim, unless it were dropped on an uneven surface like a big rock instead of on the ground.

I drop my phone pretty regular. This case protects if well. I also have a pretty thick screen protector on it.
