does it protect against dropping?

Yes. Its pretty much and entire shell and the only exposed part is the touch wheel. If for some reason you were to drop it on a corner and it just happened to hit EXACTLY on the touchwheel then no. I've dropped my ipod a couple times and the case gets scratched and dinged but it protects it just fine

I am afraid I have dropped my iPod and all well was with it, the case did it's job of protection!

I haven't dropped mine, but the case deff feels durable and sturdy. You should be safe against minor drops.

It will help because it covers complete ipod but it is not real thick so it wont let it get scratched but as far as impact not sure and don't want to try.

I haven't dropped mine. It looks COOL, but that might be form over function. LO'B

I don't think anything can protect if dropped just right. These are more for fun. Protects corners. I would buy again.

I have dropped it but usually when I am sitting and the fall is not so dire. However, I find the protective cover to be one of the best I've had. Even if it falls directly on the screen, enough of a buffer is in place from the outer cover to shield it from touching any surface. It has a soft rubber case that is covered entirely by a hard cover case. Based on my own experience I would recommend it.

I haven't drop it yet on a hard floor, so I don't know yet if this cover will protect it from breaking the glass. I dropped it on a carpeted area. It didn't break.

Yes and no. It has a lip on it to help to try to prevent a shattering screen, but it all depends on how the phone is dropped. The screen is exposed.

I have dropped my phone with this case and it has been protected. But they were small drops. I don't think it is super protective.

It's designed to protect the screen from contacting any surface if it's dropped

I would say yes, in most instances. It's not marketed as a protecting case, more so designer. But I've dropped mine a few times and I've been lucky. That's not to say it won't, iPhones are weird like that. But it does a pretty decent job for mine. Hope that helps :)

It wont protect against water, but it will protect against dropping within reason. It surrounds all edges of the kindle and if you drop it screen down, the screen wont hIT the ground because the case comes over the edges of the front. I love it! I feel more confident if I drop it.

Yes it will protect the screen because it has a lip that covers the edges of the screen that will absorb the impact of the fall. (I've dropped my phone face first a few times already with the case on).

Yes it does.....I have dropped it several times with it protecting the screen.

I have never dropped it on a very hard surface to say but I would think it protects it a little bit. It cushions it a little but probably in the right circumstance it could still crack but not as easy as without it. It is thicker than I thought it would be. Very nice product.

Unfortunately no it's not but it will definitely protect it from the dropsies ;)

I dropped my phone with this on and it definitely prevented it from chipping/cracking or the battery coming apart, etc. It cushioned the fall and nothing happened to my phone. Nothing covers the screen, but I'm happy with the protection it's given so far.

Yes, I have dropped my phone many times and the case protected it. But, the case itself will break.

It definately is not a case to protect from large falls. It serves well as an everyday bump and nudge protection case.

Yes it does. I got it for protection because i am clumsy and i drop things. If you want the nice thin look then this is not what you want.
