The case is beautiful, but I haven't dropped mine to put it to the test. It is a hard case so I wouldn't expect it to protect as well as the rubber type ones.

My cat knocked my phone off the kitchen counter, the case broke but my phone was unharmed. I would rather have that break rather than the phone!

Most cases like this will break if you drop the phone outside of water as long as you don't drop it on a pointy object that hits the screen first. A new case is cheaper than a new phone.

Yes, I have looked and looked for a case, this is the first case that I love, light, small and keeps my iPhone 5 secure. Pair this with Zagg Glass (not an invisible shield) and your phone is wrapped up and nicely protected... :)

Well it fit MY iPhone 5c. But I don't think it will fit the 5. Also if you want something that is protective DO NOT GET IT!! It is just a little plastic snap on the back case!! NOTHING on the front!!:)

I am not using this case for that reason. I don't trust it for protecting my phone if it falls. Being that I live in NY and it is cold and snowy. I bought an otterbox commuter. It can and will protect your iPhone.

Not at all. This item looks nice, but will not protect your phone if you were to drop it.

The case is good. I've dropped it 1 or 2 times, have plopped it on the desk & it's ok. The outter rubber case though doesn't fit well. It's constantly popping off the corners & it's not molded properly. I understand the budget oart as that's why I got this ine, but if you tend to drop your phone often I would spend a few more dollars & get a better one. I wouldn't recommend this one. Hope that helps your decision & good luck.

Honestly I like the case but you want something a bit more sturdy and strong... Amazon has a bunch more cases for a few dollars more that you would be more satisfied with. I bought 2 of these and I will NEVER use the other now that I have a better higher quality case. Don't get me wrong, it does the job and I was glad I had it but again, spend a few bucks more and get something a lot more durable. Hope that helps!

The case is no otter box but I'm very clumsy and I tend to accidently drop things a lot and i have to tell you that it has yet to break apart on me. Just make sure that it makes a good snap when your putting it on your phone. It beefs to be on correctly. Hope this helped :)

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

I would say it gives it some protection. This is not a heavy duty case for those that are rough on their phones and dropping it all the time. I really like this case as it makes the phone less slippery and less likely to drop it. Also the corner bumpers absorb the shock if you drop the phone and it hits on the edges. i have dropped it face down from a short distance and it was fine. However, i am very careful with my phone and a gentle user so this level of protection is perfect for me.

The case does not protect your screen. However, it is raised a little when placed faced down on a flat surface.You have to compromise looks over protection of the screen with this case. If that bothers you, then you should go for the case that flips over to protect the screen, but most peeps I know end up not liking those.

Yes. It protects very well. My girls are 2 and 5 and they have both dropped it and it's fine.

The case is made of a fairly stiff rubber. It will protect the phone from scratches but I don't think it would provide as much cushioning in the event of a drop as some other cases that use a softer silicone for their inner shell. Having said that, I have never dropped my phone in this case before. It looks like others are reporting it does protect against drops.

HI Tiffany! Yes the case holds up very well and protects it like a Otterbox. It was just was too big and bulky for my taste. Hope this helps!!

it's protection but if you're worried about hard drops then no. it's a minimalist case so it's geared toward the feel, look, and to prevent scratching the aluminum body of the iphone. go to ilounge dot com they have good reviews of all the cases out there for iphone. if you want a case that will really protect you have to get the padded ones that are thick.

The case barely changes the weight of the phone, it's very thin and doesn't add any bulk at all. And it will protect your case from minor falls. I was thinking just like you when I bought this case, wanted something to at least get the job done without feeling like I had a brick in my pocket, and this case does that job. Hope I answered your question!

No, this case does not protect the screen at all. In my opinion this case is fine for people who are reasonably careful with their electronics and simply want to protect the IPod Touch 5 body from light scratches and bumps during normal everyday use while still being able to use and see the I Pod in its full rich color. The IPod Touch 5 is supposed to have a sapphire glass screen which is very hard (similar to the crystals on fine watches) making it resistant to scratches. Keep in mind, it can still get scratched and if that is a concern to you, then invest in a screen protector or a case that provides full protection like the Otter Box.
