Great protection without compromising usability

I must say, I'm truly impressed with this product. I've used it now for about 2 months and I feel that it's really protecting my Gear Fit without compromising on screen visibility or sensitivity.

Although I want to protect my iPhone, I don't want to encase it in so much rubber and plastic that it resembles a brick, and the Grip Candy Sheer line is a wonderful compromise.  It is made of semi-flexible plastic that makes it easy to insert and remove the iPhone.  Even though the protection is limited, it should protect the phone in most instances.  The back, all sides, and the edges of the screen are protected by a thin, rubberized plastic.  The lock and volume buttons are covered.  I like that the lip wraps around the edges of the screen to protect in from edge impact and to lift the screen, just a little, in case of face down impact.  (The Belkin View case has a slightly higher lip and therefore more screen protection, but it has scuff issues.)  Among low-profile cases, the Grip Candy Sheer offers good protection.

Although the back of the case is translucent, it obscures the Apple logo except in extreme bright light.  The photo makes the back seem more transparent than it really is.  If you want to show off the logo, then you'll want a transparent back case such as the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Belkin-View-Case/dp/B0094CX3BI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Belkin View Case</a>.  I like the translucent back because of its visual texture.  I also like the contrasting colors that give the phone a distinctive look.  If my husband's and my phone are on the counter, I know at a glance which one is mine.  The best feature of the case is the way the phone feels in my hand.  I love the non-slip, rubberized feel of the sides.  There are two downsides, however:  1. When I insert my phone, the case pulls up a bit of my screen protector in the corner because the fit is so tight. 2. My auxiliary cable in my car won't fit in the jack cutout.  My earbud connectors fit, but anything with a slightly wider base will not.

Out of the Belkin cases I own, this line is my favorite, followed by the Belkin View.  This cover would be perfect if it had a higher lip around the screen and a slightly larger cutout for the headphone jack, but even as it is, it's the best one I own.

This case works perfectly well with the iPhone 6S Plus. The clear back with bumper dots has an appealing look, letting the device show it's true colors. The Apple logo is unobstructed by the bumper buttons. The cutouts for the charger, speaker, and headphone jack all provide plenty of clearance for all sizes of plugs.

The corners are far more reinforced than other products, providing superior impact protection. I've dropped my 6S Plus quite a few times from about 5 feet, and have yet to have a crack in the screen thanks to this case.

My only gripe is there were seems from the manufacturing process left uncut or unshaven, which made holding the case uncomfortable. Simple fix with some very fine sandpaper.

The case is not very big at all, and doesn't weigh much. For a case that offers such incredible protection, it's a relief that it's not a bulky mess like most "protective" cases.

I would certainly buy this again.

I couldn't be happier with this case. The snug fit, non-slip texture on the back, and subtle ribbing on the edges make this exactly what I was looking for, and the price was certainly reasonable. This is not a case intended to protect your device from falls, but it could help it survive the occasional tumble. If you are a careful sort and are looking for a modicum of protection without bulking up a device that is already quite sizable, then I highly recommend this case.

I have used Otter Boxes for most phones I have owned in recent years. My most recent purchase is an iPhone 4S. I purchased my first OtterBox directly from the Ntelos store where I acquired my phone, and ordered my second one from on here. I have found this to be a very reliable case that offers effective protection from low-height falls and the casual abrasions that most people would encounter in daily life. I found this model offered more thoroughgoing protection than light shield cases, but wasn't overly cumbersome or heavy like some of the thicker models.

To relate one anecdote of my own experience, on one occasion I was biking to school and made the mistake of placing my phone in my coat pocket. As I headed up a slight hill, it slipped out and I heard the impact on the pavement. The phone was turned downwards and I lifted it up expecting to see a thousand pieces of cracked glass. Amazingly, it was unscathed and there were only very minor scruff marks on the case. While I would not recommend throwing your phone against a wall in a rage, this product does well against casual accidents.

The only significant problem I encountered with it was what prompted me to purchase my second case. The bottom portion of the cover next to the entrance for the charger on both cases has cracked, and on the first one it also fractured near the top. This might be from repeated droppings, but I imagine the bottom was caused more by the pulling back of the little rubber guard when a charger is not connected. I would say each lasted approximately nine months before cracks appeared. Despite those problems, however, on other occasions when I dropped my phone, it still came away unscathed.

Thus, if you have an iPhone 4S, while this product does well protecting against casual contact, be wary of cracking of the case. It also comes with a nice plastic screen guard, which deters scratches, but also leaves smudges unfortunately.

Offers great protection.  We have accidentally dropped the iPad with this on it, and it was fine.  Not as strong as an OtterBox, but much better protection than an average case.  The screen cover does not effect the sense of touch, and offers another layer of protection.

Great low profile case and offers good protection for those who aren't throwing their phones around in a bag of rocks. I felt like I was going to break the phone in two without the case, but after putting it on, it added a nice heft without actually adding bulkiness and weight. The rubber has a quality feel to it and helps you grip the phone well. Some people have commented that the bottom edge is too sharp but I have no idea what they're griping about.

The only nitpick I have with this case is that after about 3 months of heavy usage, I can wiggle the phone up and down in the case about half a millimeter (I know, whine more. I will, just hold on.). The left side of the case where there's no material to clear a space for the buttons is also prone to slight movement because of the reduced rigidity in the area. I don't worry about the phone coming out of the case, but these are just things that bother me.

Overall, the case is great, and I'd buy another one if I needed to. The included screen protector, microfiber, and phone stand are nice touches as well. I can use my phone how I want to, without having to worry about scratching it or anything now.

After putting a lot of research into cases, I settled on this one because of its dual layer protection, cool/unique casing, and overall good past experience with the brand.  Protection wise, this case has handled itself very well even through multiple drops on carpet, hardwood floors, and cement.  Twice have dropped it on one corner from 3ft onto cement (a very common weakness in cases) and all the only noticeable damage is some light discoloring.  Outside of the good protection, the overall appearance of the case is great if you accept the fact that the back will get scratched extremely easily and can pick up hard fingernail scratches even.  After time, the cuts blend in well and even give the case some character.  Pleased and would purchase again if needed.

I bought this over the more expensive and presumably better-protecting Defender series after having watched some reviews of it on Youtube, specifically one that had a guy who chucked his phone out of the second story window of his house onto the asphalt driveway.  This case is FAR less bulky than the Defender series, and has yet to let me down. I work as an automotive technician, an it accompanies me in the shop a lot. I have made several fumbling attempted catches from having the phone drop or otherwise fly from my hand, pocket, or other resting place, and the phone is still intact. It comes with a decent screen protector, too.  I do have a thicker one on standby, but the one that came with the Commuter isn't scratched or peeling, so I'm keeping it on.  I would say the Defender would probably be more appropriate for more rugged outdoors use, as it isn't waterproof, but for most normal conditions, this case is undoubtedly easier to live with, as it is thin enough to fit in most pants pockets without compromising protection.

My second one of these - great protection, non slip, not too bulky

I have been an iphone user since the first gen was released, and have been clumsy as hell with a propensity to drop phones on concrete, corners, pretty much anything.  As a result, I've always used Otterbox level cases to protect my investments and miraculously avoided a broken screen thus far. I always require:

- 360 degree protection - I want the entire phone covered, including a layer on the screen *on top* of an ordinary plastic screen protector
- rubber shock protection integrated into the case
- minimal bulkiness
- accessibility to buttons, camera parts, chargers, ports, etc to be unencumbered

To me, this is the perfect case -- the holy grail.  Not only does it fit all the requirements, but the issue I've had in the past with easily scratched plastic covers doesn't apply here.  I had been using an Anker version with a plastic screen cover and had been replacing that regularly as the screen easily clouded with microscopic scratches on things in my bags and pockets, and anytime I got it wet I'd have to take it apart to remove the water.  (That issue is TBD with this product but I'll update if that happens).

I already had a screen protector on, but dropped the glass piece on top of it anyway and I almost heard a celestial chorus in my ears - no bubbles or anything, just formed a perfect seal where I placed it, and the three pieces fit perfectly and snugly together.  I can tell the case will be sturdy and shock proof; it feels solid in my hands but not heavy.  I haven't tried to take it apart yet, but I can tell that will be difficult. My concern is that the phone will heat up the cover to the point where it melts onto the back of the phone (that happened with one Otterbox and ruined my phone casing).  If that happens I'll be sure to update my review, but that's really the only downside I can think of that could happen and at this point it's pure conjecture.

Easy to assemble, appears to provide very good protection from drops, scratches, and other impacts. I like the belt holder option, it's adjustable and comfortable to wear. The covers over the mute switch and audio port seal tightly and will take some time to get used to. The screen protector is great; touch screen visibility and sensitivity is not at all affected by it.

It's difficult to accurately review a protective product unless you're clumsy enough to have dropped the device it's designed to protect.  I haven't dropped my mp3 player (yet), but the ToughSkin is a nice insurance policy to have if or when I do.

The case is black rubber and includes a clear protector screen.  This clear plastic screen is removable for easy cleaning.  It also includes a belt clip which admittedly adds considerably to the bulk of the package.  The manufacturer really could have gotten away with a much slimmer design for the belt clip part, which is why I soon removed it from mine.

Aside from adding a bit of size to your mp3 player, it doesn't inhibit any of the normal functions of the Sansa.  It's molded to fit perfectly, and stays in place perfectly.  After seeing some of the other crap that is on the market, this was a great choice.  It's been on my mp3 player for about 8 months now, and it's not going anywhere.

Its not the smallest case out there, but as someone who drops their phone a couple times a week this provides great protection. There are bulkier options but this case has been great. The case is very easy to install and remove! I went with a glass screen protector as opposed to included one. Highly recommended.

Decent design, very minimalist while offering great protection from normal use and accidental droppage.  Previous case on a different phone was an Otter Box, and while it was very secure it was too bulky, and dirt would get in the display case.  No problems with this one, very happy with the switch and would recommend, plus it's much cheaper!

This is a very protective case with a built-in screen protector. Some added bulk, as usual with the more protective case, but the phone and the jacks remain very usable. There are thick rubber bumpers around the edges, with a hard plastic shell layer. One nice added detail is the cover over the headphone jack, which helps keep rain water out of the headphone jack if you use the phone in the rain.

The case uses a somewhat unusual system of buttons between the halves that snap together to retain the phone, which makes it much easier to insert and extract the phone, but still very secure. In addition, these should prove much more durable than some case systems that depend on very tiny, delicate plastic snaps.

I'm not a big fan of screen protectors, but that's a matter of personal taste. This one works very well -- it doesn't interfere with using or viewing the phone at all, and when it eventually gets all scratched up, I'll just use a razor blade to remove it from the case.

This is my go-to case for the S4 Active when I'm facing rugged conditions!
