Does it protect or is it just for looks?

In my experience of the times I did drop my phone it landed back first (or at least seemed to, and i dont know if its because the back has a rubber "impact" cushion (if thats even what its for) but he case would seperate to reduce the force. I would say yes. I would compare it as a good alternative to otterbox.

Yes it does protect the phone. I would say better than the Otterbox Defender. The black (on the color I purchased) is a softer rubber and the the red is a harder plastic shell the clips onto that. With the case on the iPhone 4S it measures ⅝ inch thick. I have dropped mine a few times(from waist high) without damage.

just a normal case at a very good price. the supposed "great" cases have too many bad reviews for me to spend more that this. Happy so far.

It only protects the small part around the front. The blue part you can see from the image posted. My phone has landed screen down on concrete twice and that small part of the case has Protected my phone screen from breaking. Not sure if I'm making any sense... The small rim of the case that covers the front screen has protected it from breaking, it lands on a flat surface so what hits on the phone is the case covering in the front....

In my personal opinion, no. It's wonderful but just for "looks". I bought this for my hubby and he already has another case on his phone.. the top corner of his screen broke when it feel off the couch with this case on it. Hope this helps!

Not at all! Now does it provide the same protection, I would say no, but it has done the job for my wife's phone. The size of the case is good for her because she doesn't want anything that is bulky or looks industrial.

It can face either way. I would think you would want it faced in for privacy and protection.

Yes and no. It has a lip on it to help to try to prevent a shattering screen, but it all depends on how the phone is dropped. The screen is exposed.

It may be just the thing. And if you don't like how it looks, you can always, you know, use it for its intended purpose!

It's just a simple case with no design or other distractions. It's quite nice looking! Hope this answers your question!

It does protect the screen. The case has a slightly raised edge around the entire face of the phone. So you can lay it face down on a table without scratching or even drop it and it will protect the face. It's not a very thick case though so it won't offer as much protection from drops as say an otterbox case would. But the face of your phone should not come into contact with a surface if dropped.

It is more for looks but on a scale 1-10 for protective either a 6 or 7. For looks it is a 10.

Yes, it protects the edges of the screen. The lip extends about 1mm past the screen to create clearance between the screen and the surface you happen to place your device face down on. It's a great case.

It's definitely just for looks. It goes on quickly, comes off quickly as well. I haven't experienced any downsides as far as god or general shooting. In summary- it just makes your beast look pissed off ! A good buy

It probably offers little to no protection, but for its price... Its a good bargain for a decorative headwear (it also blocks wind pretty well.)

I believe it is there for protection while home is being competed by contractors. I removed it once everyone was out of house. It makes it look more finished.

No, as far as protection goes this case would get 2 stars maybe. The case is more for looks. I have a Zagg screen protector (highly recommend buying one)so I don't have to worry about my face getting scratched which is why I bout this. The edges and back will be the only safe part

No it doesn't provide protection, you might need to get the privacy protect one for that.

She has dropped the phone a few times and been ok but it does not protect the screen or offer a lot of protection overall. It is mostly for looks. I recommend it if you have insurance on the phone.
