Does the silicon cover offer port protection?

Hello Renee, Yes, the silicone cover does offer port protection on both the power input and the headphone connection. This case was very well thought out.

Yes, it does. The silicon flaps don't cover the port completely, but it does do a nice job protecting it.

Yes it has protection for the headphone port and the lightening port, thus far is the best case I've found for the price. I've purchase 2 other cases by different brands and have returned both, I would highly recommend the Bear Motion case.

I don't know what you mean when you say "port protection"; I think of firewall protection. But, the silicon cover protects my I-pad from just about everything; when I drop it, when I spill something, the cover protects from just about everything. I would buy it again and, again; it is well worth the money, I love it.

Yes there is port protection. Case is still holding up well. Hoping they will make more colors.

Yes itdoes the silicone part itself is thicker than the usual used in silicone cased for cellphones. In my opinion it does its job for the minor impacts if you accidentally drop your ipad mini. However its a different story dropping it from 1 or 2 storey housings. You should get one and try it and see it for yourself. Sometimes its hard to explain how good something is unless you have it.

Yes it does :) There is a little flap that is made just for the bottom port.

Hello. Yes the silicon cover does provide excellent port as well button protection. The silicon walls for these components are much thicker than the other sections of the single silicon wrap, such as the sections for the back and corners of the iPad. Those thinner sections are reinforced by the secondary plastic shell and the casing itself.

No ... It is simply a "drop damage" case. All ports are open to the elements.

Mine has a port as well. I never use it and didn't even notice it unitl I looked for it.

Yes, some of the ports are either partially or substantially covered. I have to remove the device from the case to charge it.

Yes. There are only 2 actual ports: the charging/usb port and the headphone port and both are accessible. In addition, everything else, the on/off switch, the card slot and the volume control buttons are all accessible with the cover on.

Sorry for the late response. No, this case does not have port covers like the otterbox and/or griffin cases

Only if you zip it open to gain access to the ports. It isn't made to be like a shell attached to the system. Just a case.

Not that I remember. I dont remember any ports and as a computer geek, I think I would have noticed. Cant say for sure though.

Did you lose it????? I don't know the answer but would think that it would give you better protection. You might likely get dirt into the ports without the cover on.

If the reviewer you referenced cannot find the port, he (she) does not need the case. The port is on the end of the case. My case performs exactly as advertised and expected.

yes port hole for turning on/off & charging ports did not line up.modify the cover I had to buy a different cover and it 100% better this was a loss of money

It does cover the micro usb port on the core model. You have to slide it part way out of the case to charge.

Yes the port is covered with a permanently attached soft plastic cover. The screen cover does not impede usage of the screen or the phone other than perhaps with the raised bevel around the outside edge making it minimally difficult to access the outside 0.5mm of the screen, at least with my big fingers anyhow.

No. If you drop your device in water even using the case it's gone for. The two ports, meaning the charger and headphone ports, are not covered. This case is specifically designed to help cushion a fall not protect it from a drop in water.

YES, It is very well shielded. I have had absolutely no issues. All other have been nothing but problems. Just make certain you use all shielded cables for the devices connected to this hub. ..

Yes, there are flaps covering the USB & Aux. Input ports. They seem to fit snug enough to limit anything entering.

I have had no problems with accessing the port. There is a "flap" that covers it just as there is on the phone itself so I open that, open the one on the phone and am all set. I love this case. I believe it has saved my phone at least 3 times from what would have been shattering drops or water damage that would have rendered the phone inoperable.
