Good protection from drops and scratches, but not from dust or water.

I have had this otter box for about a year.  As a carpenter my phone gets knocked around quite a bit.  The Otter box has kept my phone looking new.  There are several openings that allow dust and water in though.  So I usually have to take the case off and clean it every couple of weeks.  It has protected the phone from a few drops of 3-5 feet also.

Great protection against scratching but didn't do anything when I dropped it " the floor and a rock hit the screen and cracked it. Kinda defeats the purpose. I'd rather have the tempered glass ones.

Overall a good case. Cons include: Not being dust proof as advertised. I understood it not to be waterproof, but if any amount of moisture lands on the phone it ends up under the plastic display cover. Especially challenging if you workout and sweat.  Sometimes you get water on the phone without intention. This causes the screen to become useless until you take the care apart and clean under the display cover.

It is a durable case with a small amount of bulk. I would recommend for anyone who doesn't work out with their phone.  Again just my opinion.

I have mixed review of this product.

Provides adiquate protection for a time. The screen is a little small and does leave a small amount of the iPhone 6 screen unprotected. After a couple of weeks the corners of the screen will chip and leave the flakey film. I was ok with this since it stops your screen from being scratched and don't see a lot of finger prints.

I did drop my phone and both screen and protector cracked. Ultimately, the protector only protects from scratches and not drops.

I have now had this case for about a week.  The case consists of two parts: 1)  inner padding made of soft rubber and 2) thin outer shell made of hard plastic.  Install was easy, and the fit is good.

The hard outer shell supports the padding on the back wall and three edges of the phone; on the lower edge of the device where the USB port and the speakers are located, there is a ~2-in long area without the hard shell support.  I anticipate two problems with this design: less protection for the phone on the bottom edge, and that the padding will eventually break in this area - but this remains to be seen.  The padding forms a ~1 mm lip around the screen and forms decent protection.  I have already dropped my phone from about three feet high onto a hardwood floor with no damage to the phone or the case.

All in all - a decent product.

Update after 2 weeks of daily use: Upon cleaning with alcohol gives off a little dye.  Fit and protection remain good.

I like the look and feel of the case so much that I brought it for the second time, after my first one broke at the edges. The case  saves the phone from scratching, scuffing and the occasional drop (on the side and the back). The screen, top and bottom edges of the phone is exposed. There is also no raised edges to cushion for a front fall. So be forewarned that this does not really offer any protection if the phone drops face flat!

The screen protector is good if you need it only to prevent screen scratches , but it won't protect your screen if  you drop your cellphone.

This case is really best only if you want the extra protection from scratches, dust and dropping it.  I say extra because the phone itself  provides good dust protection and there are other cases that are smaller and more compacts that will protect the phone from drops.
The good:
* the outer shell is large and the textured outer case provides a nice secure grip.
* the phone is completely enclosed for dust protection with soft rubber covers for the USB and audio jacks, sealed rubber button extensions for the volume and power buttons and the screen itself is enclosed and protected by a outer touch screen.
* All the isolating membranes work well for the buttons
* the screen protector works, no pun intended, transparently, its as sensitive as if you were touching the actual phones screen. and with no visual aberrations.
* The cradle has a nice belt clip that swivels to position the phone as you like it and the clip itself is spring load with a nice hook on the end that will prevent the phone from coming off.
* One handed operation to remove the phone or lock it back in the cradle is easy with a little practice to remove the phone from is cradel.

The bad
* The speaker and mic are exposed and they must be to operate so the phone is not 100% enclosed and those areas are no more protected from the cover.
* The instructions to open the case to install the phone are simple pictures that provide little help.

Conclusion:
The case is well built and will provide additional protection in rugged environments without diminishing functional access to the controls.

The case provides very good protection and assurance. While the pink color is almost a coral pink, the disappointment that I live with is how quickly the edges of the case looked dirty, even within the first week's usage.  True to the reviews, there are some "annoyances" to adjust that make it a worthy case. 1)  I replaced the clear plastic cover for a glass screen protector.  It doesn't get scratched up nor does it loosen from the case.  This is highly recommended.  2). We have had to (easily) shave down the edges of phone chargers (like Amazon's brand) so that it would fit into the area covered by the case. All other functions, like photo and sound, work fine with the case's coverage.  I'm certainly content with this case since protection is my main objective.

I'm a really clumsy person and I could drop my phone just by holding it. After I dropped my old iPhone and the screen shattered into a million pieces, I knew that I needed a case that could protect my phone.

This case worked well enough. The negative part of it is the fact that it's very hard to remove the case from the phone after putting the case on. Also, if you drop it multiple times, then you are able to see scratches.

Fits well, and seems to do a good job keeping scratches off the back. Didn't keep the back from getting cracked, though. I suspect this happened when my phone was in a bag full of other stuff, and got crushed, or when I was removing the phone from the cover, by pushing on the phone through the hole in the cover. (I don't do that anymore, I remove the cover by "peeling" the sides of the cover back.

The buttons still have a nice tactile click with this cover on, which is nice.

Great protective case, and it seems to protect against drops and other larger mishaps, along with minor scratches. Does have a tendency to collect dirt and dust, and is a bit bulky.

This case provided good scratch protection for the back and sides of the phone, but no protection for the top and bottom. It's a little too slick for me, and the phone had fallen out of my hands several times when using this case. If you're not prone to dropping phones you may love this case. It is very thin and helps to keep the slim design of the iPhone 5.

It's not quite as heavy-duty as I expected, but it seems to be doing the job.  I've dropped it (from a short distance, not on concrete) a couple times, and it's been fine, but it probably wouldn't save it from a big fall.  The screen protector scratches much more easily than the glass, so I'm considering removing it.

Good screen protector to help protect phone from scratches and drops.

Case works well for basic protection from scratches and small falls. It is no otterbox, but is a great alternative for low risk usage. The front cover folds for a nice stand with a good angle.

Best defense for your phone against dropping and bumps. Not water tight though.
