Archie... I found this to be a good case for my Iphone 4. It's the second one I've had. The frat one got a little raggedy after lots of use. No matter what case you get, you still have to be careful not to drop it from great heights or drop it in the toilet.

This isn't an iphone. It's a case. And the case isn't really sturdy. If you're really concerned about breaking your iphone I would suggest a more-sturdy option like an otter box.

Archie: I didn't get this for myself - I got it for my 22 year old daughter, who loves it. She says it's sturdy and better than any cover she's ever had, including her old Otterbox (reputed to be the best in the business). I think this is a worthwhile purchase for you - but YOU have to be careful not to drop the phone! :)

It's a good case. Never have dropped my phone with it on, however. I think it would protect it well, but if you use your phone in a rough way maybe you should go for a heavy duty case designed for a phone that will receive abuse.

If you just want good protection, I'd get an OtterBox. If you want the storage too, I don't recommend it because the latch isn't strong and kept popping open.

No, this is more for someone that wants to combine their phone and wallet. You need a Otterbox cover. Sorry to say it but for a 13 year old that would be the best. I purchased this for my husband, he has not dropped his phone yet and I really don't expect him to, so I could not tell you how it holds up. Hope this helps :D

I dunno, assuming you buy from the right dealer and therefore get the right product and not one of the knockoff flimsy ones, it should survive impact from a high drop. These people obviously don't grasp that they aren't all receiving the same thing because I suspect they are ordering from different sellers for the cheapest rate. I'm clumsy as can be and the rubber outer lining keeps it from slipping out of my hands like the slick and slippery ipod without the case. I've still dropped it a few times and it didn't so much as nick it. Also I suggest getting them screen protectors if you haven't already. I got this case and screen protectors immediately after getting my ipod and it's still in mint condition because of that fact. Don't let other people's ignorance deter you. Buy from the right seller, the Amazon promoted one, and you should get the right thing. If you get it and it doesn't look like the right product or it seems flimsy AFTER putting it on the RIGHT WAY. (Reading through other customers experiences with THAT is embarrassing.) Then if it isn't satisfying-- send it back. Good luck! I love this case and I've had it for 5 months.

Depends how it's droppedAfter 24 hrs of receiving the case And putting it on. I dropped my phone while getting out my car and the case did get damaged. I dropped a few times and each time there was damage to the case or the phone or both. It was cute while it lasted

Yeah I think so. I have the iPhone version and it's the best I've had at protecting it and I'm a major clutz. So I'd recommend it.

I would its really delicate though I would advise a iPhone and to go with it a Life Proof case but if your nay on the iPhone than yes this is a good alternative hope I helped.

Hi Jim, I can't answer that question because I find it difficult to "test" my new Iphone by putting it under water.If it leaks and my phone is ruined....I lose, if it doesn't leak and my phone is fine...I got what I paid for.All I can say is....I am trusting the case to protect my phone from water damage "as advertised". In my opinion the case snapped together securely, with what I believe to be good seals at the joints.I don't expect to take my phone with me "in" the pool or oceanbut I believe it will protect it from splashes and drinks at the table accidents.Hope this helps......john Hi Jim, I can't answer that question because I find it difficult to "test" my new Iphone by putting it under water.If it leaks and my phone is ruined....I lose, if it doesn't leak and my phone is fine...I got what I paid for.All I can say is....I am trusting the case to protect my phone from water damage "as advertised".

Most anything can break if it lands just right. This case is rubber and can help but not prevent. I dropped mine 4 times in this case and it never broke. But maybe the 5th time it would have. Good luck

It's about all ya need for a iPhone 4s but I've not tore apart a 5s. Go to YouTube and watch the tear down of a 5s and see what ya need.

It's a really solid case in my opinion. I have dropped my phone several times during school, and nothing ever happened to it. Even though I have had a good experience with the case, I would still recommend being careful because your experience may vary.

I never dropped it but the case doesnt look like it would protect it. When i got the case it didnt work from the beginning so i never had the chance to drop it but its not really a case for protection

Not really. FYI if u want your iPhone to last never drop it in water. I don't care how they described it waterproof I heard too many incidents that they dropped their phone in the water or pool in a lifeproof case still their iPhones were damaged.

depends on how much you drop it. The 1st thing to go on mine was the stand to stand up your ipod. Then after that mine lasted like 4-5 months until i took it off.

Not at all. In fact gets so wet iphone is covered & I'm worried it will be damaged.

I drop my phone A LOT lol and i havent had any breaks. It doesnt have a wrap around the screen tho so it is left unprotected.
1369636
Probably not. This isy first iPhone, so I like the idea of it being all wrapped up and protected! I was able to put my SP on pretty snug, so it's been working nicely for me.

From My Experience and from what people are saying off the forums, it should be okay from a short fall, keep in mind this case is is designed very slim so anything more than a short fall and your really pushing your luck. Also the screen on the N5 is VERY fragile this case does not offer IMO, any reasonable screen protection. Mine fell from about 4 ft (screen down) onto a bump on the sidewalk and that was enough to crack the Digitizer and had to send the phone to LG for a cost of $140. If your phone should fall screen down chances are you could be like me and have to shell out $140 for a new screen :( Invest in a flip-style case or one where the screen is more protected by the edges of the case.

it does not last it only worked for about a month I don't think a teenager would want to be bothered with it they like the iphones the way they are
