... few times and this case has done a DAMN good job of protecting it

I've dropped my phone a few times and this case has done a DAMN good job of protecting it. It's not very heavy and moderately stylish. That said, it has the BRILA logo in the bottom-right corner which isn't shown in the pictures. It REALLY irked me for the longest time, as it's not shown anywhere in the pictures.

I purchased this case in the frosted clear color when I first received my laptop in 2015. I did not buy a case for my previous macbook pro and regretted it. I can say now, two years later, that it was a good investment. This case protected the aluminum from scratching and some minor falls of couches. I finally had to replace it when it absorbed the impact from my daughter throwing my macbook on the floor. The macbook was undamaged, but some of the plastic in the bottom corner broke off. Ultimately it did its job and I purchased another one. The only critique I have i that one of the rubber grips on the bottom came out quite soon after purchase and the case does discolor over time after constant handling.

droped phone 4-5 times in last 2 years of owning this case. case had a hairline crack in few places but saved the phone and the case even slightly broken still continues to function and it protected my phone few days ago again, prompting me to write a review after 2 years as it is very good and sturdy. Will be buying from these guys in future again.

Have dropped my phone quite a few times since getting this and protects it quite nicely.

A very thick case that makes sliding my phone in my pocket a bit more of a chore but the protection is more than worth it.  I have dropped my phone more times than I can count and phone inside is still perfect.  The headphone jack and charging port rubber covers are helpful and annoying at times.  They protect the ports from getting fuzz and debris in them but when you want to quicking connect something it sometimes takes popping open the rubber cover several times to connect something.  Great all around phone protection that is well thought out.

This case does a good job of protecting the phone. Dropped it a couple of times and not a scratch on the phone. Protects it from splashes here and there, but I don't think it is waterproof.

The tab covering the charging port is a little inflexible, so it can be annoying when trying to plug the charger in, but it is a small trade-off for the protection that this case provides. This is my 3rd defender series case and they are always awesome.

The case is great. It has had many drops with my three-year-old, and it stays protected. I give it four stars instead of five because it is a pain to take the covers off the ringer button and the charging port. However, some people may like the extra protection. I have had it for about a month now, and it is very sturdy.

I've had this case for quite some time and its holding up very well considering how much I use my tablet.  The case is very sturdy offering a lot of protection and it functions well when set up as in the picture.

Very durable case. I work in an area where getting bumped back and forth is a common thing for anything hanging off your body, but this thing is really taking a beating and still looking pretty much the same as when I bought it. More to the point, it's protecting my phone very effectively. Not a scratch on it, even after all that bumping.

The only issue I have with the case is that there is not enough shielding for the magnets used to keep the flap closed. Some magnetism leaks through whatever shielding they might have in there, and I'm mildly worries about the possible long-term problems I might have.

I've lost track of how many times I've dropped my phone (this is why we can't have nice things, usually), and the OtterBox commuter has done a great job of protecting it.

For what it's worth, IQ Shield has been the best screen protector to coordinate with this case.

I ordered this case a few days ago and received it promptly. It's been providing my SGS3 with great protection; the rubber material provides shock absorption while the hard case deflects impact onto a larger area instead of a single fixed point. The front of the device is protected by a lip in the case which prevents the screen from making contact with the ground when dropped (and the case also comes with a screen protector which is an appreciated bonus). The back of the case has a rubberized patch in the center of the device which prevents it from slipping across tables when you place it down. The back also has a small screen over the speaker to prevent grit from getting in there, which I didn't know about prior to buying the case. The camera is regrettably exposed, but there's not much they can do about that without sacrificing picture quality.

One thing to note however is that the device, as others mentioned, really is incredibly difficult to get into the case. Slipping the device into the rubber sleeve is a breeze, but then getting it into the plastic case is infuriating. I dread having to take it out and put it back in again. Honestly though, this is only something you have to deal with once. The level of protection and style that the case provides more than compensates for the hassle of installing it.

I would highly recommend this case to anyone.

I have used this for a few months now and it will be staying on my phone until it dies.

The frosted touch does hide the custom Moto X case I bought a bit, and the screen protector is already peeling off in a corner.

You may be wondering why I still gave this 5 stars? That is because I have dropped my phones many times and on different hard surfaces from different angles and there has been no damage. I have not dropped it from any ridiculous heights mostly 6' and below, but that is all I wanted it to do and it has saved my phone several times over.

It's a damn solid case with useful folding features that let it double as a stand for either orientation. It provides a good amount of protection without obscuring any ports or buttons, and it doesn't reduce the venting capabilities either. The magnets are a touch weak in my opinion, could use some strength and some better durability: If you open and close your case a lot, the magnets will seem to weaken a bit within the first few weeks. Overall, quite good.
