how much protection would this case give my phone?

Not much but its super cute! I mostly only use it special occasions like going out or parties.

This will give a fair amount of protection. Not as much as a rubberized completely enclosed case, obviously, but certainly better than no case at all.

Well if u want me to be honest this case would not give your phone any protection Its more for fashion ... I have yet to put it on my phone b/c to me it's not an everyday case

It does not give your phone any protection. This case is for style and looks. So dropping your phone is not good.

I have dropped my phone a couple times and my phone is fine. The case has extra padding on corners . I think has protected my phone well.

This case is more about looks than protection, though it will protect from day-to-day bumps and useage. I would not recommend it for someone who is looking to protect a phone from drops and a difficult environment. The main purpose of this case is looks and simple protection - not to save your phone from abuse.

I give it a 8 on protection and there's no need for a additional case. But make sure you put a screen protector if you don't want it scratch.

Not very much. I'd say about 10% additional bulk. I will say this though. This is the only case I've ever used that I prefer to have it on than off.

I dropped it. Nothing happened, but it wasn't a drop from a far distance and I also have a screen protector. So, I'm not too sure how much the case aided in protecting the phone

Generally, yes it will protect it if dropped from the normal standing height of a person. This is a pretty robust case but I'm sure there are certain situations depending on how it is dropped, how it lands, etc that the phone will not be protected.

It will protect it if u drop it off of a 10story building. That's how bulky that case is.

I haven't actually dropped my phone with this case on yet but the case is very hard so it should protect it

I haven't dropped the phone, so I can't say for sure. What I really like about the case is that it keeps me from accidentally touching the buttons on the sides and the screen, which was always happening to me before. I'd jump in and out of apps and screens without meaning to do so. LOL I made a little Tunisian crocheted bag that I put the cased phone in for my purse or pocket.

I wouldn't say alot but it's a considerable amount. It changes how the phone feels in your hands but the edges and details make it extremely easy to grip. Any added bulk is worth it in the long run! Trust me.

I would say it gives it some protection. This is not a heavy duty case for those that are rough on their phones and dropping it all the time. I really like this case as it makes the phone less slippery and less likely to drop it. Also the corner bumpers absorb the shock if you drop the phone and it hits on the edges. i have dropped it face down from a short distance and it was fine. However, i am very careful with my phone and a gentle user so this level of protection is perfect for me.

No, not really. Design wise the case has an almost square shaped hole in the back.So possibly yes but won't do much protecting.

my son is 12 and drops his phone a lot. I have had no issues at all. So I would say yes...it would protect it

I drop my phone pretty regular. This case protects if well. I also have a pretty thick screen protector on it.

it is a semi hard case, it will keep your phone safe from minor drops and normal wear and tare

This case [in my experience] has been very protective for me, the case does wrap around the top and all the sides, but does not cover the volume buttons or the power button. But I would recommend getting a screen protector or something to help protect your screen, with this case my phone has been fine, but I have dropped it face first onto concrete without a case and it hasn't shattered so I may just have a lucky phone, but I would suggest maybe getting a screen protector or just be really careful, but hopefully your phone is as rugged as mine and you can get any case without worry! Hope this helped! [And sorry if this was confusing a little, I get off topic sometimes.
