does this case give good protection to the phone? I'm having trouble on deciding to get this case or the slim armor one

It offers good protection, however it will break after limited use, making it worthless. Would not recommend.

Get the slim armor. The case is okay for protection but the bumper is frail plastic so it could snap on your first time putting in on. I don't recommend it at all.

It does protect the phone outer corners but not the screen. .Also the area where you charge the phone, the outside trim is very fragile.

Logan, I've dropped my phone a few times since buying this case and it protects it well. Thankfully no screen cracking.

I've been using this one for about a month and it works perfectly. It definitely protects the round corners of my S4, which is, for me the place where you need more protection. Haven't seen the slim one though, but I would recommend this one for sure.

Yes and no I has the rubber casing which helps with being dropped. However the plastic around it is very breakable.

Very good protection. I've dropped my phone twice with it and not a scratch on both occasions.

Its your basic protection. Ive dropped my phone before using this case and it was fine. The only problem is the camera on the back is lacking that extra protection.

It ain't otterbox stuff but it give pretty good protection in my opinion + Way better look and grip feeling than the otterbox brand or any other kind. I personally highly recommend this... I do not know anything about slim armor one so can't say much about that

It was recommended to me by someone who has one and they are very happy with it. I bought this one but decided to much of the phone was exposed. It does have the raised edge to keep screen from touching surfaces. I just wasn't convinced phone would be protected. I chose the wallet style case.

I've dropped my phone quite a bit and so far I haven't had any problems, just slight wear and tear on the case where you plug the phone in to charge it.

I would say go for the bumper if your primary interest is in protection. The feel of the slim case was preferable to me, but I am sticking with the bumper since my slim case shattered its corner when I dropped it.

The case provides great protection and a very secure grip. It does not make the phone bulky and doesn't take away from the overall beauty of the phone. Hope this helps!

Alexandra, in all honesty, I can only speak of my experience with Ballistic since I have never purchased an Otterbox case. With that being said, I have been very happy with my Ballistic cases that I have. I have purchase two thus far and when and if I purchase another case, it is almost certainly going to be another Ballistic case.

They are very similar, but just as the name suggest the slim armor is not as protective as the tough armor. The slim does not give as big of a lip to protect the screen and it has better corner protection.

HI Tiffany! Yes the case holds up very well and protects it like a Otterbox. It was just was too big and bulky for my taste. Hope this helps!!

Despite how thin the case is, it protects the phone pretty well. I've dropped my phone several times with this case on, and my phone is flawless. And in my opinion the Neo Hybrid does a better job at protecting the screen than the Spigen Slim Armor because its front edges are higher. I think moderate drops should be fine in this case (pun intended).

Yea I haven't had the slim armor either, and I noticed so far that any scratches I had gotten on this Neo Hybrid case, I could wipe away.

The case is good. I've dropped it 1 or 2 times, have plopped it on the desk & it's ok. The outter rubber case though doesn't fit well. It's constantly popping off the corners & it's not molded properly. I understand the budget oart as that's why I got this ine, but if you tend to drop your phone often I would spend a few more dollars & get a better one. I wouldn't recommend this one. Hope that helps your decision & good luck.

The volume and power button are covered by very smooth and responsive buttons. The buttons push as if they are a part of the device with, completely natural. The slim armor is a thin rigid skin type case. It is open on the top and bottom but still provides a lot of protection. This case was dropped and provided better protection then I ever imagined. The back plate is made from a very beautiful brushed aluminum piece. The slim armor is the closest thing to a raw no case feel you can get with a lot of protection. You would be happy with either case. I use the neo hybrid for work and out about trips and the slim armor at home and running errands.

I havent seen the "commuter" case but the Spigen slim armor case is a tight fight. I would check the dimensions of the two before purchasing.

It is not designed to protect like the Otter does. However, I recently have dropped my phone more than ever and it has not broken, nor did the case. I am not sure that I would depend on anything to protect as well as the Otter. I do really like this case, though.

Sorry, I have not dropped the phone since I got the case. I can tell you I dropped and broke two phones before I got the case. It seems to protect what needs protecting, is light weight, and sleek. So far, I highly recommend this case.

The Slim Armor case does not fit the iPhone 5S very well. The edges don't line up with the outside of the screen properly. The Slim Armor also has very sharp edges on the back. The Slim Armor S has a much better fit for the 5S - the lip of the case fits over the edges of the screen and provide much better drop protection, and the Slim Armor S is also more comfortable to hold. Spend the extra couple of bucks on the S if you have a 5S, it's well worth it.

It is pretty slim, not at all like the Armor series from Otter Box for the iPhone. As far as screen protection, it is just a thin clear screen protector, again, not like the waterproof Armor case.

I would recommend the Spigen SGP 10203 slim Armor Case. If you have a Galaxy s4. I just saw them. I am getting 2 of them. They come in different colors. Although I always take black.

No I think they've done a great job designing it to make sure the screen doesn't touch when I put it down on a flat surface. Also it's one of the few cases that protects the volume keys and on/off button. They are protected but still respond easily to the touch. Also the camera lens is well protected on the other side too. I'd definitely buy it again. Good luck!
