is this case really protective?

It wraps the case like an otter box, but is NOT an otter box. It protects the phone.....ya get what ya pay for ;) The colors are rubbing off, but not a bad deal.

Yes. I have dropped my phone, just tossed it in my purse, and many other things I probably shouldn't do to my phone and it's perfectly fine.

Actually yes it is, I am rough with my phone and have dropped it twice already and my phone and case are in prefect condition

I have had mine for 4 months now and it still looks brand new. I have dropped the phone about 5 times in total (with the case) and the phone is still fully functional and not damaged. It isn't going to protect from a large fall (probably 4ft +), but the case will definitely protect it from daily scratches, wear and tear, and from minor falls. Hope this helps!-Mr. Pottrick

Yes, it is protective. The top piece of the case snaps over the entire front of the phone. Covers the corners and sides nicely. In my opinion. Oh yes it provides power. I have on more than one occasion been grateful to have it when my phone battery was way down, to be able to press a button and have it charge.

No. The case is plastic but its strong plastic, if that makes sense lol. The case is really cute and in a way it's protective.

I do consider it safe and protective. Now, I have not had it long and have not dropped it yet. It seems pretty protective though. Also, much less bulky than an otter box. So far I've been pleased. Hope that helps

My answer is yes I believe so. It is a very tough case. With full protection all the way around. Ours has saved us with numerous drops. Hope this helps.

I would say yes, in most instances. It's not marketed as a protecting case, more so designer. But I've dropped mine a few times and I've been lucky. That's not to say it won't, iPhones are weird like that. But it does a pretty decent job for mine. Hope that helps :)

I do think it has enough protection for general use. I don't feel it's flimsy at all. Obviously a harder, heavier case would feel safer (like an Otterbox for an iPhone) but this one does a decent job. [i am saying this without having dropped the kindle...yet...so can only give you my impressions at this point]. I say buy it and see for yourself.

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.

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.

No, however, I have dropped it once, no scratch, dent, and phone is fine. But, not meant to be protective.

This case is more about looks than protection, though it will protect from day-to-day bumps and useage. I would not recommend it for someone who is looking to protect a phone from drops and a difficult environment. The main purpose of this case is looks and simple protection - not to save your phone from abuse.

It's not very protective, bc it's a thin hard case and it doesn't have a glossy feel to it, so I guess it's matte type, it's just a hard case.

Yes it is, I have only dropped my phone a couple of times since I got the case but so far no damage. I would definitely recommend it, just don't let the cows barrow it, who knows what their huffs would do.

This case [in my experience] has been very protective for me, the case does wrap around the top and all the sides, but does not cover the volume buttons or the power button. But I would recommend getting a screen protector or something to help protect your screen, with this case my phone has been fine, but I have dropped it face first onto concrete without a case and it hasn't shattered so I may just have a lucky phone, but I would suggest maybe getting a screen protector or just be really careful, but hopefully your phone is as rugged as mine and you can get any case without worry! Hope this helped! [And sorry if this was confusing a little, I get off topic sometimes.

No Michelle, there is no protection, but the corners are protected and when you drop ur phone it usually lands on a corner and then cracks
