I drop my phone all the time. Do you recommend I get this case, or the Defender case? or Flex?

If you drop it all the time, I personally would not recommend this one. If you don't like the thickness of the other Otterboxes, then you might try the Lifeproof Nuud. It's thin. I have it on my phone now. I've dropped my phone and rinsed sand off of it in the ocean. I also have a TechArmor screen cover on my phone as well. Hope this helps.

I still drop mine all te time, and still looks brand new because of the case... I could not recommend it more

Don't own the others mentioned but I can say that the Otterbox passes the drop test.

I drop this thing at least 3 times a day(most recently from 10 foot bleachers onto a concrete floor) and I have never had a problem. I do have a fairly pricey screen protector I got from ATT ($30 bucks but worth it) however. This case is really good and if you haven't already bought an otterbox, don't.

Depends on if you want to actually protect your phone. The rubber case is SUPER cheap, the hard case is only a little but better. Look elsewhere my friend

yes! i've dropped my phone a hundred times and it's always been fine. this is a great case. and yes, it's flexible enough to be taken on and off easily, if that's what you're asking.

The Slim Armor would be the equivalent of an Otterbox Commuter case. Decent for minor drop protection, but not enough protection for those that punish their devices. The Tough Armor is as protective, if not more so, as the Defender line of cases. The Slim Armor does not give as much screen protection, as the lip around the screen is much shorter. I feel the Slim armor also feels more slippery in hand.

Yes! I drop my phone on a regular basis. I've found it very protective. I haven't taken it off once. The rubber is flexible enough to where its easy to put on your phone and its just thick enough to protect it without making your phone the size of a brick.

Mine popped out after a dropped it a couple times. Then the rubber on the sides started to come off so I got a otter box commuter case on eBay for under 20

I would suggest the Skinomi Tech Armor glass. I dropped my galaxy s5 on the cement a few days ago and noticed cracks on what appeared to be the screen. I was bummed out. when I got up the next day I peeled off the protector and it was just the protector that was cracked, not my screen. I just ordered another one. :)

The commuter has a silicone case that fits firmly against the actual phone. The silicone wrapping then fits into a hard shell. this protects the phone even when the case is jarred. The defender is a hard shell and doesn't have the same give when your phone is dropped.

I would say go for the bumper if your primary interest is in protection. The feel of the slim case was preferable to me, but I am sticking with the bumper since my slim case shattered its corner when I dropped it.

Yes, I have dropped my phone many times and the case protected it. But, the case itself will break.

Well, this case isn't made for hard falls or extra screen protection, its flexible and slim so you always need to be careful. Adding a screen protection helps as well. If you think its going to fall easily or frequently get something with more protection..Best Regards

I assume you mean the phone not case... Nothing as you know is 100% protection for phones, but I can attest I've dropped my phone with the defender numerous times and it did not hurt it at all. I even dropped it in wet snow and it was fine. You should look on Otter Box website, they have test videos (at least they used to), In MY opinion the defender is the best protection. I love that it comes with a belt clip so I can walk, do housecleaning etc with it and I don't miss a call or text. They are expensive though. My son took his Otter Box off of his phone, dropped it and it cracked really bad, so he put his Otter Box back on to keep it together so to speak, so far, no new phone purchase has been needed.

The commuter case is not NEARLY as bulky as the defender. Is is much thinner and fits in pockets better. It can still take quite a beating, though.

The case is good. I've dropped it 1 or 2 times, have plopped it on the desk & it's ok. The outter rubber case though doesn't fit well. It's constantly popping off the corners & it's not molded properly. I understand the budget oart as that's why I got this ine, but if you tend to drop your phone often I would spend a few more dollars & get a better one. I wouldn't recommend this one. Hope that helps your decision & good luck.

I found the commuter to be more slimline than the defender but both work the same in protecting my galaxy. I liked the defender more but it is bulkier ( I use a belt holster to house it)

I am in agreement with Jessica. THe otterbox is bulkier than this case. My husband had the defender and it is definitely thicker than this one.
