Does this case really protects the phone if it falls and does the back absorbs oils?

I don't know if this case will protect the phone if you drop it. But the case fits the phone very well and I have not seen the back of the case absorb oils. I keep the phone in my shirt pocket with no problems.

I've dropped it a few times and my phone has been fine. clearly If you drop it screen down into gravel with out a screen protector on the phone, it may crack. The phone sits down into the case so if dropped on your floor your screen will be fine. As for the oils, I'm not sure. the sides of the case are plastic and the rest is like a dense silicone rubber, I know its stain resistance and the oil from your skin will not show on the case.

Ive dropped it few times and every drop was either to the side or the phone hit something and luckily the screen is still protected with no scratches or broken glass..

It's OK but it will only last a couple of weeks before the plastic breaks by the usb. It kinda shows fingerprints on the back.

It will prevent the screen from getting scratches. It will not interfere with the functionality of the phone. It doesn't do anything to prevent physical damage to the phone caused by a drop. You would need to purchase a protective case to provide that functionality.

Yes this does protect the whole phone. The case has 2 layers, the hard and soft shell. I have dropped it from a 4 ft counter without adverse effect personally.

Hi there! This is a snap-on case. The case does protect from the dings and dents of everyday use, as it encloses the back and sides fully; yet is not designed to cushion from excessive drops, especially drops to hard surfaces.

It has for me; I've dropped it several times on tile floor. It covers the back of the phone and all around the edge. I really like it.

This case is more about looks than protection, though it will protect from day-to-day bumps and useage. I would not recommend it for someone who is looking to protect a phone from drops and a difficult environment. The main purpose of this case is looks and simple protection - not to save your phone from abuse.

It does protect it somewhat. I've dropped my phone a couple times and it was fine. It's not at bulky as the otterbox so I assume if your phone lands face down on something hard the screen might break. My case actually cracked at the bottom from plugging it in all the time. I'm a little rough on things. It's a great case for the appearance. I wouldn't bank on it to keep your phone 100% safe.

Not at all! Now does it provide the same protection, I would say no, but it has done the job for my wife's phone. The size of the case is good for her because she doesn't want anything that is bulky or looks industrial.

It does to a point. Because its a rubber material but there is nothing over the screen to protect it. If you drop it face down it will not be protected at all.

It will protect your phone from falls, but the case itself breaks. (at least mine did). It didn't break to the point where I couldnt use it. One of the little pegs broke off and it was loose in one of the corners. As for water, only the back is protected so if you set it on a wet counter it will be ok but if you drop it in a puddle it will not be ok.

I have dropped my phone once or twice and it hasn't damaged the phone. It won't be as protective as an Otterbox because it is less bulky but I have heard from the bestbuy mobile reps that this case will protect the phone pretty well if you don't want the bulk of an Otterbox. Hope this helps!

It does not give your phone any protection. This case is for style and looks. So dropping your phone is not good.

No, I dropped my phone and the top and bottom chipped and shattered. Nice looking phone, but does not protect if dropped.

Gel...the cases absorb shock when the phone falls however I'd recommend an otter box type case as opposed to these; reason being is they don't protect the LCD screen and the screen is expensive. I hope this info was helpful

I've dropped my phone with the case a few times and it is still good. It does not protect the front though; I got a separate cover for that

I'm no longer using the Otterbox and have my phone on vibrate on my person usually, so cannot say I noticed. The Otterbox is certainly excellent protection if your phone will be treated roughly and subject to dropping frequently, including screen protection. It does not protect against liquids, of course. For me, it had two major drawbacks: 1) If you need to take the case off and on more than a couple times, the outer rubber bumper stretches out and will not stay properly in place any more 2) This same rubber bumper causes the phone to be difficult to get in and out of pockets. I now use a Speck Candy Shell case. It does not have a screen cover and also is not suitable if you intend to take your phone in and out of the case many times. However, it serms to be good protection and slides in and out of pockets easily. I like it best of the three cases I've had.

Not really it really protects the back of your phone. I've dropped my phone a bunch of times with the case on and the screen has scratches on it but it hasn't cracked yet
