Works for me, but not really very protective

I wanted this for the comical statement it makes. Unfortunately it is merely a cover, not a protective padding. I'm happy with it, but my iPhone is nearly 5 years old.  I won't be putting anything as thin on whatever replaces my current phone next year.

doesnt stand up as well as I would like it to, but the price is right, and I always protect my devices.

Good case for scratch prevention, but I'm not sure it would do the job if I dropped my phone on a hard surface. Not much for corner bumpers.

I cracked the corner of my screen within a week of buying my phone, and completely broke it within a month of buying it and dropping it all the time with no case, and I've had this one for over a month now and haven't any scratched or cracks or problems after dropping the phone, so I guess it's working. It doesn't seem as thick or "rugged" as I expected it to be, and I considered returning it, but it seems to be doing the job without the extra bulk.

Doesn't fit quite as closely as I'd like and I think it might be messing with my reception. But it does its job and has protected my phone from several drops ;)

feels really light, don't feel like it would protect my phone at all

Not the greatest for protection, but still really good.

Serves its purpose, however, it doesnt feel real sturdy

I hate cases i would rather just hold the phone, but my last 2 phones were destroyed by water and being dropped so i had to give in and get a case. this one is nice and lightweight and i love the color, but i don't feel like it adds a lot of protection since it is pretty thin.  also not super easy to get on and off so if you plan on taking it on and off a lot you may want to consider another model.  also i have an adapter that converts old i-charger devices to the new lightning port (the little white rectangle that has a lightning port on the top, its for an old generation clock radio with charger) and it doesnt fit in the bottom of the case, you need to take the case off to charge that way.  works fine to charge iwht the new charging cables

Great, I love it. It doesn't seem like it would offer much protection, but I am not a phone dropper so it works fine for me.

Easy on and off, but does not seem to have that much protection, although it has survived several drops already.

It's lightweight with good grip, but if you're looking for optimum protection it's probably not your best bet.  It works great for me since I'm pretty careful with my phone.  I've yet to drop it, so I'm not sure how well it protects against that.  Make sure you get a screen protector as well!

It does what it's supposed to do, protects the phone from scratches, drops, etc. I haven't dropped my phone yet but it seems sturdy enough that it would protect it from impact. From a protection standpoint, all is good. It's also nice looking and fits securely around the phone. Why three stars? The buttons can be a pain in the neck to depress through the protective shell, especially the power button. When I'm done looking at my phone, I like to make sure the screen is off before putting it away so I don't end up pocket dialing anyone or open a random app. A lot of times if you don't press it hard enough or at the exact right spot, nothing happens. If I'm holding my phone in one hand, I end up pressing the volume controls on the opposite side while the screen will remain on. I've adjusted to it but when I first purchased this, it was enough to be an annoyance. I've also noted what other reviewers have said about dust collecting on the inside of the shell by the earphone jack (no dust at the micro-USB port as of yet). It wasn't a lot but I did notice it.

Overall protection-wise, it's a good case for this purpose and I will keep using it. Would I purchase another one? If I couldn't find something better, but I'd shop around first.

It protects my phone just fine, but the back is a bit "bowed" out so when I set my phone down on its back, the case and phone like to spin around like a top on my desk. Fun, but doesn't exactly stop it from sliding around on a desk and falling off. Fit and finish are decent, and protection from impacts is great so far. I've dropped my phone several times now and there is no wear.

I just dropped my 4S in this case off of a roof I was working on, and it still works.  The case is scratched on the metal parts but everything else is intact and my phone is working.

The case has very little effect on phone calls and the touch screen is just as sensitive as having a bare screen.

Now the bad part of this review...
The case is heavy, but that helps me feel it in my pocket as I'm walking.  The ringer/vibrate selector moves pretty freely which may cause your phone to ring when you want it to shake.
Here's the biggest problem.  I am using one of the older phone chargers which are moderately bigger than the more recent ones.  The one I use has the buttons on the side to release the jaws that hold it inside the phone.  The port in the rubber isn't big enough to slide the charger through since the metal pinches it smaller than intended, but I just took a razor blade and widened it a little bit.

It's alright.  It basically provides protection from scratches to the back/sides and a ridge so you can set your phone face down without damage but nothing more.  It provides no rigidity or real drop protection.  I didn't expect much more from the low price, hence the 4 stars but be aware that this is not going to save your phone from any real danger.

I bought this 18 (ish?) months ago partly to prevent my kindle from being all scratched up, and partly because I'd seen those magnetic stand/covers for the iPad and thought they worked great.

This cover works great as a protector, and makes the power button less likely to get hit by accident. But the stand configuration is not very sturdy, and is very likely to fall over.
