Does this case meet the MIL STD 810G-516.6 Military Drop-Test? So many of them say "armor" protection but don't have the certification.

Well..while getting out of my car I've dropped my phone unto the pavement and it bounced around a bit but the case seemed to have protected it that's for sure. No cracks, dings or scratches. I'm happy with it!

No it does not. It's thick hard plastic. No metal protection or shock protection.

Yep. It's not as good as the Ballistic case I purchased shortly after, but it offers enough protection for short distance drops :) Hope this helps!

Hi, I have dropped 3 times my 1520 screen facing the ground and it's still ok. It's a very good case.

Hi Debra, The one Otterbox Armor series case I bought was legit. Since it's working nicely for me, I didn't need to return it so I'm not sure what sort of warranty is available. However, I'm sure Amazon would back up your purchase should the product not be what is described.

I have a slim case from Khomo and the fit is snug. I don't even have to snap it closed, but do anyway. I'm not familiar with the armor case. Good luck! :-)

From what I know, the Otterbox does not have a drop rating. They just say it protects from drops but no specifics on height/level. I've tried searching online but no luck finding any information either.

I'm not really sure, but if the new case has a very rubbery feel to it (like the my first one I bought in 2012) then you might have an older model. My old rubbery case really deformed over time and really didn't fit well at all. I'm assuming the less rubbery plastic in the new one was their solution to that problem and I'd recommend getting that one. The serial number on my new one is (I think; I'm looking at the bar code tag) 77-18581. It's a Defender series, not Armour.

I have not. i got the case because I notice quickly that the back would pop up on mine if dropped on a counter or bumbed hard on somthing. This case seams to be thick all the way around and with the hard case that wraps around the silicon case I think I can take a really hard drop. I have tossed it on the counter at work plenty and it takes it fine. I cant believe you screen shatterd that easy. the lady at the Att store told me the Active was supossed to have a stronger gorilla class. who knows if thats true.

It doesn't have built in "screen protection" for the front but when laid, screen down, it's safe. Honestly I regret not buying this case first over the Ballistic brand. Hope this helps

Just to let you know, Mine was not in good condition when i got mine, but that was just design issue. I can not tell you how many times I have dropped it and frankly I don't care what kind of damage it does or doesnt do to the case since I knew immediately upon coming out of the box that I would have to replace it soon. That being said, It has held up to drops better than I had expected. Every time I drop it, I still look down to check that everything is ok with my phone. I believe it has stood up to this because the rubber coating on the inside of the case stops most of the forces that would normally shatter the plastic case around it.

The edges are pretty slim the back of the case seems a little bit thicker, I used to use the Otterbox Commuter and this Armor case is way more thinner, I have the transparent one and it looks awesome on my S5, now I cant say is drop proof, I havent drop it yet...so I dont know how this case perform.

this case is very much the real deal.I have droped the phone from 6 feet up nothing happened to it. I have not tried the water test however I do believe it will protect the phone from water. I would buy this case again no ?s asked.

Can you provide some evidence of what you're saying?? To me it looks totally legit, and even if it weren't it's a great case and provides protection like no other to my phone, I changed it just because the commuter series from otter box is slimmer.

Hello, it is definitely a nice case. Nothing really fancy about it. But if you want complete protection for it, water, dust etc, it is definitely worth the money. I haven't dropped it in water, but If I did, i'm confident it would protect it. It also has lifetime warranty. If the plastic case or any part of it breaks. You just go to the website and order a new. Free of charge!

I purposely dropped it from about 3 feet and it handled it like a champ. Bumps aren't a concern with this case either. However, I also have screen protection from tech armor (glass) kind along with the sigen case. Extremely happy on both items.

Have no idea what that rating system is. But case is very hard with rubber-like bumper corners. Best protection I've ever had for a phone. Get the ballistic glass as well for the front.

Regulation wise, No...But ppl say they have gotten it on with no problems and it did fit in the overhead. My issue is if you get tuned down then they will take it from you and check it...I dont want mine checked. Too many thieves looking for these cases. Best off buying http://www.amazon.com/Pelican-1510-000-110-Carry-Case-Black/dp/B0002SKHIK/ref=pd_sim_p_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=04CQSGJDZFT5GNJHVQZB
