How well does it protect against drops?

I think it protects well. I have dropped my phone several times and I have no dings, dents or scratches on the phone or the case. The edges are a tiny bit raised so that when dropped the screen doesn't come in contact with the ground. But I also have a Zagg film on my screen. I will never do with out a Zagg - pricey - but has lifetime guarantee. But I do love these cases. Very good for the money.

Noted in my review: corners aren't well protected since there's that "rebound" effect, especially when the case gets less stiff, it hit the cement but may flap once or twice which takes the case corner off the phone momentarily. Thus, with time, the case gets loose. So when you drop, it's easier for the corner of the phone to slide out. However it is one of the better ones out there. Im thankful it didn't shatter my screen since I prefer no screen protection.

I dropped my phone getting out of my car a couple weeks ago onto cement and there was no damage to my cell phone. I noticed a small chip out of the Galaxy case, which proved that it could have been much worse for my phone if it hadn't been protected.

I've dropped my phone at least 7 times from my chest pocket, While bending over to pick something up off the floor and my phone has survived each drop. About 2ft down not far but other people have shattered a screen from that far.

I've dropped it a few times and it hasn't broken yet. I think it is a great case! It is a bit slippery so if you are holding it with your shoulder, it might slip out but its durable. I love it

I have dropped it on quite a few occasions and it has been great about protecting my phone. And I've had no problems with my credit cards being deactivated.

Yes. It protects very well. My girls are 2 and 5 and they have both dropped it and it's fine.

It is very snug - it keeps the profile of the phone slim without a lot of overhang. I don't believe this is the best case to do drop tests with, but as far as protecting the phone from scratches and minor drops, I believe it's fine. I haven't had the flap loosen, but I've only had the case for one month now. Also, invest in some good screen covers - they are cheap and worth the extra protection. My last phone was in really good shape and I got nearly $200 when I traded it in at Apple on the 5S.

No, it offers little protection against drops. Basically, protects against scratches only.

Not bad. It's a little tight on the corners which would worry me if I didn't end up dropping it but the outside is a little rough and seems durable. With that being said, I feel like as long as you trust yourself to not drop it, it's good :)

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

No problems with any of these. However, you must be prepared to accept that the top and bottom rubbery edge (not the corners) tend to make it feel a bit lose, but it's not like it's going to come off, just not real solid. I believe it would still be very protective if dropped.

It has good scratch protection and some drop protection. The outer edge is a soft material that does give drop protection. My Wife loves it because it looks good and is not bulky.

I have an iPhone 4s and it protects very well. I have a two year old and my phone has been dropped and nothing has happened to it!

I don't think anything can protect if dropped just right. These are more for fun. Protects corners. I would buy again.

Yes I can honestly say it does protect from falls and covers the sides well in my opinion. I also have no problems with using buttons on sides ....loving my case so far ..

It seems protective enough to me. The edges don't stick out but if you were to have just the right drop you could potentially damage the ipad. Over all I find this to be very secure.

I have only dropped my I pad about 2 foot distance, and it protected it 100%. It is a really good case and does keep it 100% protected . The down side ( if it is a down side) is that it makes a very thin I pad thicker. For me, that is perfectly fine. If I where to buy a new I pad, I would buy this case again. Hope that helps.

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

It's hard to say, I have not drop tested, otherwise it has not broke yet from regular use.
