Does this case give the same drop protection as the Spigen tough armor?

It has the same interior design on the inside back; a grid design. But it does not have the corner protection of the Tough Armor. That would be difficult to do with the plastic retaining band in place. I find it to be a decent case that looks good and has protected my 5s from drops onto wood, tile, and concrete. It has performed very well, and despite the abuse it has not lost its visual appeal. I routinely get compliments on the case.

It's very thin for mainly for surface protection, but it might not be enough for high impact drops. I've only dropped my phone once - form about waist height to asphalt, and luckily it landed case down. No damage to the phone, but the metal plate got dinged up (I'm referring to the previous elago S5 case I had). If you tend to drop your phone a lot I wouldn't suggest this case, but if you're looking to just protect the outsides with something minimal that doesn't change the feel of the phone, than this is it.

It offers a great protection to the phone.my phone fell down for 2-3 times with this case.Nothing happened it didn't leave any scratch on the case too so i think it is one of the best case from spigen which doesn't add any bulk with great protection around edges.I also bought slimarmor case the gold one from spigen.I think It offers amazing protection and as well as it is the beauty of spigen

I'm not sure. I have a Spigen Tough Armor on mine & the screen protector fits perfectly. And from what I have "heard" & "seen" in other comments is that the Spigen Tough Armor & Otterbox Commuter Series is the same size & fit.

I guess every drop is different. Mine fell out of my evening bag unbeknownst to me onto the concrete. A fellow theater-goer ran up to me from behind and handed my iphone back and it worked perfectly. I looked down at my evening bag and sure enough it was wide open and had come undone. My Spigen case is the clear one. Again, every drop is different, but it protected my phone in this circumstance.

I saw a video on YouTube of someone who installed a similar screen protector with a similar case from Spigen and had no issues. Personally, I never use screen protectors but its a matter of choice. I think you should have no issues. See the link here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLCfJ-Fb9_k&feature;=youtube_gdata_player

This probably won't do as good a job as an OtterBox or LifeProof if all you want is breakage protection. The Spigen is a nice, solid case and protects the phone with an inner and outer case to give it cushion if it drops.

I'm not sure as I have a spigen tough armor case. It does not have the front protection that's why I got the glass protector . It seems like it's think enough to fit in a life proof case .

Very. The phone feels very solid in my hands. It has exactly the right amount of protection to guard against drops. It really is the best case I've ever owned.

i had a very slim case from Spigen and it did not work, so i assume its safe to say your impact case will probably not work also.

No. This is a thin case made of a flexible plastic called TPU. It offers much more basic, lightweight protection than an Otterbox case. TPU cases like this one are a nice option if you want to add some protection to your phone, but not a lot of bulk. This type of case does not offer the type of drop protection that an Otterbox case will provide.

No it does not. I have drop my phone on many rugged occasions, very impressed with the protective gear.

Yes for sure . I just bought and received my case . The case is extremely sturdy and durable. I love my case holds up extremely well, if\when I drop it, it just bounces because of the shock protection. Would definitely recommend this case....

No, but when dropped nothing happens to the screen because it bounces so the screen is protected.

Yes. I've dropped my phone a couple times with this case on and it protected my phone.

I'm not sure whether the Defender is the same Otterbox I had before, but I exchanged it for this Spigen. Otterbox is an excellent product in terms of safety - I've dropped my phone from my pocket (about 1.2 m off the ground) onto concrete and it just bounced, zero damage. However, it is a bit on the heavy side and esthetically Spigen has it beat hands down. I have dropped my phone a few times while in the Spigen case onto my hardwood floor and it hasn't been damaged. Another detail: Otterbox makes the phone somewhat bulkier, so it is harder to operate with one hand.

After looking at the defender series I would say yes it's very similar. And yes the phone is totally protected in hard plastic. It just feels cheap to me, but it will protect your phone.
