Griffin 605412-SFPL Survivor Case for iPhone 5/5S - 1 Pack - Retail Packaging - Purple/Lavender

This is a seriously protective case for the iPhone 5! Though, I would never put it to the test like Griffin does!The case consists of 4 parts:1. A plastic shell for the bottom and sides of the phone. This has holes for all ports, speaker, etc.2. A thick rubber cover that locks over the plastic shell and provides tight fitting covers for all ports, camera, etc. This covers the bottom, sides, and provides a raised ridge of rubber above the screen.3. A plasic screen cover that locks securely onto the rubber shell. This does include a screen protector.4. A clip on rotating belt clip. The clip pops open and locks in a position to provide a stable "landscape" stand to watch videos, etc. The belt clip also locks in the closed position if you wish to keep the jaws from opening and getting caught on your pocket when sliding it in, should you not want to clip it.This case is very substantial, once on the phone you cannot see the clean lines of your iPhone 5 any longer, but you know that the $800+ investment is quite protected from damage and the elements. I wouldn't call it water-proof, but I would say that it protects against small amounts of spillage and major dust.The only con I have found is the plastic screen protector is raised above the screen and it takes a bit to get used to what is needed for touch controls with it on, especially if you are used to using the phone without a cover or a screen protector. But once I got used to it, it hasn't been a problem.So far, no one has complained they can't hear me with this on, and I have had no problems hearing callers when using the phone in regular mode and with the speakerphone.I highly recommend this case to protect the investment in the iPhone 5. They don't call it the survivor for nothing!

I have read all the reviews talk to friends got opinions compare products I chose this one for the durability the quality, it comes with a belt holder and in my opinion it's the best solid case on the market. I've been using it for about four months now every day it has high-grade military specs so it meets military grade the price is great it's not a cheapie plastic breakable one layer case. I don't have insurance on my phone so I'm not going to go out and get some cheap plastic crap -I love the Griffin survivor case my sister loves it so much that she's now going to buy one for herself and the color that I chose everybody loves it's become a talking piece. I totally recommend it completely I don't know why people gave it a negative rating maybe they're not put it on right I don't know I never once had a problem with it not once and I've dropped it quite a few times.Bottom line the durability is incomparable to anything else along with the quality I have no problem getting to the buttons like other ones have and the high protection keeps it safe and to be military approved- that's good enough for me and I will buy another one when I upgrade to the 6 or 7 iPhone.If you're going to buy one- buy it from Amazon they are hard-to-find in the stores and if you do find them in stores you will pay a lot more...so you can't beat Amazons price you can't beat the durability of the product from Griffin it's a win-win!

I've had a lot of cases for a lot of devices. This is the first that inspired to write a review. This is a great case, because it does what it's designed to do. If seeing and showing the sleek prettiness of your cell phone is important to you, this case is not for you. If you need your phone to slide out of the front pocket of your jeans like butter, look elsewhere. But if you want to protect your phone from slips, falls, sudden rain and even quarter-size hail storms, not to mention the occasional drink being spilled directly on it, this is the case for you. In the past two weeks I've slid 30 feet down a slick rock face on my belly with the phone in my front right pants pocket, my iPhone 5 and I have been rained on and hailed on, and it's fallen from my ear to concrete (almost a six foot drop). I've even had a whole martinin spilled directly onto it. And my phone is good as new. It ain't the prettiest case, but it sure does do what it's designed to do: make sure that when you need your phone it won't be hors de combat because of the stuff in life that happens to cell phones if you venture outside. And if your device being pretty is important to you, among the many colors this case is available there's got to be one that will be sufficiently eye catching.
