I apologize for the delay on answering this. I had only had this case a couple of days. Now that I've had it for about a week. I think with the slim design it would be perfect for a in the pocket type case. I'm not sure what level of durability your wanting. However if its just to carry in your back pocket to leave the purse home. It would be great.. however if your really active, I can see where the 2 pc snap on case might come loose. As it has on mine a few times since I've had it. I hope this helps you.

It may be slim but protective....unless ur going to drop it everyday, three times a day, it will get the job done

Hi Deanna, this case will not fit over anything. It will only go over your plain phone and a screen protector. It is like a glove.

I have dropped my phone once since I got the case and there was no damage to the case or to the phone. There's no room to put anything else in the case, though so it won't work if you need it to be a wallet, too.

The case fits my Galaxy s3 very snugly. I doubt there is room for an additional case. I did see many cases on my AMAZON search which would suit your need and had slots for driver's license and credit cards. Good luck! Linda in AL

Um i mean its not as bulky as an otter box and its pretty but mine isnt staying snapped together like it used too. Im oretty sure that was my bad though, i probibly took it off to agressivly. It also doesnt have the clear hard plastic cover to go over it. The stylus is pretty and works fine. I mean i would definatly reccomend it just be careful takeing it off. Ive dropped my ipod multiple times whothout a crack. Also since its white i fond it gets dirty on the edges and dingy looking just from being in purses and fingers always on it. But it cN be cleand mmby sumply bleaching the white part. But yes get it, i like it, its light weight and not heavy or bulky like an otterbox, um so yeah.

I can't address the part about the Otterbox case. My phone is an Iphone 4s and this case worked great. I did not worry about dropping it. I hung the lanyard around my neck and didn't worry at all. After two weeks of using it that way plus jamming the phone/case/lanyard into my pants pocket I saw no signs of wear or breakage. I was especially concerned about the loops at the bottom of the case where the lanyard attaches but had no problems whatsoever. My main reasons for getting the case were one, that I could have it around my neck so I had quick access for pictures and two, that I did not have to worry about dropping the camera down a cliff or into a river.

No, these cases, imo are better than other companies out there. I've had my case for 1.5 yrs. No issue except the hole for the head phone jack is a little small. I just drilled it out bigger. I have dropped my phone several times, normally on to hard floor, still have not broken the phone / screen.

My LG Thrill (2 1/2"X 5") uses this case. I went through 4 phones and lost my insurance before using this ballistic case. I can certainly vouch for it's effectiveness since I've now had my current phone for almost 2 years. I drop it constantly too. I'm very rough on my phone. As for the specs, if you type a search for a ballistic hard case with your phone id, the right case size should appear from your search. It was that simple for me. Good luck!! I'm just now trying to find the ballistic case in different colors.

It's been great for me so far. I've had it for probably 2+years and dropped my phone many times. Phone hasn't been damaged and only minimal damage to the case

For me it has held up very well I have dropped my phone several times sense I purchased the case and no damage what so ever. As to the typing it does not seem to effect it any at all other than close to the edges until you get use to it. I have been very pleased with it.

Just the same as it is without a case at all, just with less glare. I definitely recommend this case to anyone as clumsy as I am when it comes to a phone. I have had it for a few months and I love it!! It's a little heavier than I'd like, but it really secures your phone. Plus, if anyone ever tries to mess with you, you can use it as a weapon! Lol. All in all great case! I am fixing to buy another for my wife because she also really likes it! As long as you have an iPhone charger you are good to go. (There are some chargers that will NOT fit with the case on) Other than that I have absolutely no complaints! If you are questioning whether you should get it or not, the answer is YES!!!!

I don't find it bulky. It is definitely solid (some cases I've had before are softer), but I've used this same shell on an S3 as well and it's saved my hide more than once. Still fits in my back pocket, just doesn't slide in and out as smoothly as without a case because the case is matte, not glassy like the phone itself.

I've dropped it a few times and it hasn't broken yet. I think it is a great case! It is a bit slippery so if you are holding it with your shoulder, it might slip out but its durable. I love it

Just to let you know, Mine was not in good condition when i got mine, but that was just design issue. I can not tell you how many times I have dropped it and frankly I don't care what kind of damage it does or doesnt do to the case since I knew immediately upon coming out of the box that I would have to replace it soon. That being said, It has held up to drops better than I had expected. Every time I drop it, I still look down to check that everything is ok with my phone. I believe it has stood up to this because the rubber coating on the inside of the case stops most of the forces that would normally shatter the plastic case around it.

Yes, it needs to be tight for protection and to last longer. I leave my case on most of the time. If you like to change cases a lot for variety, this would'nt be the best choice. But if you want a compact case which fits the phone perfectly and shows it's design beautifully, this is the best one I've found., in addition to a screen protector.If you need to take the case off, start with the corner of the top or bottom, it 's easiest, but does take some patience.

It's a really solid case in my opinion. I have dropped my phone several times during school, and nothing ever happened to it. Even though I have had a good experience with the case, I would still recommend being careful because your experience may vary.

I love mine tested it without the phone 1st to see if it got wet, then again with the phone both times completely dry. Ive dropped my phone so many times still not a scratch on. And can't beat amazons prices. If I change phones I'll try to find another life proof case for it. Great purchase

Not sure if it's durable enough for that amount of taking on and off but, the case can come off easily enough if you want it to.Have you ever thought about getting a bigger battery / charging pack? I hear they work wonders.
