Does the case protect against bumps and falls?

Yes works great I have dropped my phone several times and this has protected it

I'd say it protects against scratches to the phone's body. I have dropped it a couple of times without any issue, but this thing is by no means an Otter Box or Lifeproof. The case is a flexible kind of plastic, so it does absorb a bit of a fall. I'd go with this case if you're just looking to keep the phone looking clean over time. If you're prone to dropping your phone, I'd suggest something a little more durable.

The rubber is high enough around the edges to protect from a fall. However nothing is 100% guaranteed. I have found the rubber rubs and lifts the protective screen cover I put on my son's iPad.

This will not protect any mechanical damage to screen (crack/break etc) from a fall. its just a screen protector, not a bumper case. It can though, protect your screen from accidental scratches or smudges. The touch sensors are not affected by the protector, it works perfectly fine.

Yes, it has a thin layer of padding to protect from minor bumps. In fact, that's the reason why I purchased this case. I like it very much for this reason. It's a little larger than the iPad Air, but I'm ok with that. Hope this helps!

Its very basic protection for your phone, like a bumper. It won't protect it if you drop the phone from high heights but a couple feet off ground drop is okay.

Yes, phone is protected, sides, top and bottom. I've even dropped my phone a couple of times no damage to the case or the phone.

Yes. I've dropped it many times, and few scratches on the cover. Great protection.

no, neither. but it is great protection from bumps if you are prone to dropping your phone...just DON'T drop it in water!

No, but when dropped nothing happens to the screen because it bounces so the screen is protected.

Yes I can honestly say it does protect from falls and covers the sides well in my opinion. I also have no problems with using buttons on sides ....loving my case so far ..

Yes. My daughter has dropped it a couple of times and it's still in tact. She also has a screen protectant as well.

No it does not. The rim of the case does protrude out above the screen so if you drop it the screen will not hit the floor. But the case will not protect from any scratches.

No, it does not. However, the case is raised on all sides of the screen side so IF the phone fell straight down..the edges would stop it from damaging the screen.

My phone has taken several falls in this case and had no damage. The case covers the sides and corners well, but doesn't affect the use of any of the buttons.

No, the case and the phone are exactly in the same plane, so when it is facing down, both touch the ground (it does not protect the Iphone at all, but it is very thin and delicate)

Yes, it provides some protection as soon as the screen isn't hit directly while it falls. Anyway, a three feet drop is high... For that maybe another type of case, a thicker one, could be more useful. My nephew of 5 years uses the tablet with the case, and he is very careful, he sits down and is not walking around with it, that can help too.

I have dropped my phone a couple time and there is no damage. The corners are protected by the hard plastic shell and there is a lip (thats not holding elasticity) that helps cushion the fall. But the screen is not protected.
