Protective, but falls apart quick
357661
The Griffin Wave case is without a doubt very protective, but it has one very serious design flaw.  The rubberized coating, touted all over the box, peels off DAYS after putting the case on.  For me, an entire chunk of the back of the case was missing the coating.  It doesn't hinder its protectiveness, but it makes it feel really slippery, and it looks like crap.

Functionally, this case worked fine in every day use, but offers very little drop protection. My girlfriend was at work when her tablet fell out of her bag, and the tablet easily popped out of the case when it hit the floor (from maybe 2 feet?) and the screen shattered. Highly recommended if you are just looking for something to protect the aesthetics of tour tablet, but wouldn't be my first choice if you are on the clumsy side.

This case has a nice feel to it, though it does add a bit of thickness to a macbook, and fits well. But after a few months of using it, the bottom piece of the case doesn't stay on. The problem is that it's held on by a few millimeter-long, millimeter-thick pieces of plastic around the border of the computer, and they aren't very sturdy. One or two of those tabs fell off within a few weeks of using the case, and the rest made their way soon after.

TL;DR: It's a good case that fits well and protects the computer, but don't expect it to last more than a few months.

Great while it lasted (90 days). It is a minimal add in size & weight to the phone, which is exactly what I was looking for. Grip is good & gives easy access to the buttons. The color started wearing off the corners almost immediately (lives in my pocket) - glad I bought black, as the underneath was also black. Bottom corner broke off (not from a drop, just from normal use) and the case basically came apart over the next two days. I wish this case were much more durable.

This case protects the phone well enough from gouges and scratches well enough,but the tabs that hold the case on the phone are not that stong. After I had the case on my phone after the second day I recieved the case in the mail,I accidently pushed the phone off the table reaching for it,the phone fell breaking off one of the holding tabs. I think this product may need a little more strengthening.

Nice case, especially  for the price. Doesn't last very long though.

I bought this case because I wanted good protection for my phone. I absolutely wished it was sleeker but I figured choosing protection over looks was the smarter choice. So far it has protected my phone perfectly.

Unfortunately in the three months that I've had the case, it has started to fall apart. In the picture you can see that the grey rubber strip around the case is coming off. I noticed it started to get a little loose after about a month of use and now there is a big gap. Although this doesn't directly affect the protection of the phone, for the price they're selling this I expect the craftsmanship to last a lot longer than three months.

Love the design, easy to put on and take off, and surprisingly protective. I've dropped my phone several times and haven't scratched or cracked the screen!

But, the side buttons come off. I actually ordered this case twice now. First, the button over the lock button came off. Without the buttons built into the case, its harder to actually push the iPhone buttons. So I ordered a second case and now the case button over the volume button came off. I've only had this current case for less than 6 weeks now.

Moving on to a new case from a different brand.

The case is great, but the foam falls apart easily,

Fell apart really quick can no longer hold cards. Ill admit it does protect the phone well due to the fact my daughter ran over her phone with a car but no scratches. But it fell apart really quick with stitching.

This case was exactly what I needed in my life until it fell apart after two weeks.  You don't have to take your phone out to do simple tasks like switching apps or down-voting crappy songs on Pandora, just use the touch screen right through the clear plastic.  It has enough space inside to hold a big wallet AND a big keyring.  If you're riding in the sun on a hot day it really heats up your phone, but not so much that the phone stops working (YMMV).  The fabric panel that holds the back of the phone came completely unstitched after a couple weeks, but I'm still using this case a month later with some duct tape repairs.  Had it not fallen apart, this case would be a strong 5-stars.

It protects my phone okay, but as soon as I got it the back component of the case started coming loose from the main housing.

Case gives good all round protection. the front flap is a little flimsy and doesn't inspire me with a huge amount of confidence when using it as a stand but it does work. Dropped my ipad onto a tiled floor and the case cracked at one corner, rather it than my ipad! Bought a replacement and within a couple of months it disintegrated, the corners just crack and the case falls apart, even without dropping it. I guess you get what you pay for.

I wasn't paying attention, and accidentally purchased this instead of the Defender when replacing my 3 year old Defender (which is in great shape, except the screen protector is very scratched). I didn't return it because, my mistake, I just made plans to pick up another Defender and to keep the Preserver as a backup.

I've been using the Preserver for a few weeks. This is a good case as far as protection goes, from what I can tell. It is solid, and I don't worry about dropping my phone with it on. The screen protector is definitely better adhered to the case than those for my Defenders have been.

That said, I had the same negative experiences as others. The case is so stiff that it makes the buttons actually difficult to use (I have taken ONE successful screenshot since getting it, because even with large hands, it is an actual challenge to depress 2 buttons at a time). I cannot use speaker phone function (yes folks -- even with the plugs open or removed), because of extreme echoing for both parties. The mesh panel at the front speaker began fraying in under 12 hours of light use, and fell off within 3 days of light use. One of the back mesh patches came off after about a week. My phone lives between a desk, the passenger seat of my car, and a jacket pocket. It does not have a hard life.

3/5 stars not even due to function (it was my fault that I got the wrong case), but because the LAST thing I expect from an OtterBox is for it to begin to fall apart in under a day.

My boyfriend has Llifeproof case for his phone, and I like the quality of this one much more. I am able to access everything on my phone without any problem (fingerprint reader included). It's good quality, and the buttons on my phone aren't impossible to press like with the Lifeproof cases.

EDIT: A couple of things after having this for a week. I dropped my phone on Monday and the case came apart, my phone was protected, and the case snapped right back together, so no big deal. Today, however I think the headphone cover broke. I've had this case for a total of six days and have only just now taken it off, and the little plastic arm piece that holds the headphone "plug" in just snapped right in half.  I wasn't rough on it or anything. Very very disappointing.

This case is a great non-bulky design to protect my phone. It also works great with the intelliglass pro screen protector. Unfortunately, I am on my second one. Both the first one, and this one have not lasted. The rubber side panels have detached from the core of the case, and have gotten more flimsy. They are currently attached at the top and bottom of the side strips, but not the middles near where the side buttons are. I'm not sure why this is happening. It could be due to using this with an envicar vent mount. Not sure. Its unfortunate that this isn't holding up. I may goto a more bulky case if this gets worse to ensure my phone is adequately protected. I wish this held up. Not sure if super glue or anything would fix it.

After six months, this thing finally fell apart. It's also slightly oversized, which leads to small pieces of dirt getting trapped inside the edges and scratching the phone. Still, you can't beat temporary protection for only $2!
