Is this case supposed to cover the back of the phone?

Yes absolutely, the back is completely covered. Its the front is not covered completely (glass). The phone simply slips into the Bumper, and fits perfectly well. Covering the sides and back completely.

Yes, it covers the back. It's not really transparent - kinda foggy looking & it's not rubbery - it's a hard plastic.

yes it does, you basically remove the back of the phone to place this case.

No, it just covers the back and sides. Open in front. You need to buy screen protectors as well. But it is a good case.

Yes it does. The case does not cover the front of the phone at all....just a small lip edge around the casing.

Hi there! This case covers the phone's back and sides completely. Like most cases, it does not cover the face.

Yes it protects the phone just fine if you don't drop it, as there's no front protection. The case is hard on the back and the sides are a soft plastic, so it makes it easier to grip the phone.

Yes, this model does cover just the back. It has openings in all the correct places for the camera lens, headphone jack, power cord, and speaker. If you get the clear one, like I did, you can easily read the customized engraving Apple put on the back for me. I recommend this case highly and my son the iEverything geek was impressed, too.

Not really. this is a nice case and slick. You don't need the back cover. However, the one you show on the picture is not the one I bought. I got the one with the molded + signs all over the back.

I think it is supposed to but mine did not close properly. Unless I placed my phone screen side down or held it closed the cover would not stay shut all the way. This case is very cheaply made and I could see glue on the clear plastic part of the cover which had squirted out from inside the cover.

Good question. Yes, but not as completely as other cases. It protects mostly the back, and protects the sides somewhat. I guess I got it more for the looks, but the back of my phone IS cracked and I think it will protect that just fine. It fits very snugly, so that helps. I hope this answer helps!

No, it basically covers the sides only. Where the phone starts to curve is where the shell ends.

No it does not cover the front of the phone only the sides and the back. Are you using a screen protector? That might help.

This cover completely covers the back of the phone. If I had my back plate off, it would still offer protection. (I just took it off to see what it would do.) It has 2 different layers. One is rubbery and the other one is a hard plastic. It offers great protection. I have dropped my phone several times and nothing happened.

yes it just covers the back. It looks great and protect the Ipod at the same time.

no cover on front. Case covers the back and some of all sides.....phone slips into case by slightly "stretching" case, then it returns to shape after phone is in, but nothing covers the front.

It covers most of the sides, just not very stable for protecting the front of the phone if it is dropped. Also, the fit to the phone is a little off.
