Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2019

I've used, held, or seen nearly every type of phone case and Griffin in my opinion are still the best, and are very up there on looks. My last griffin lasted 4 years, and I only got rid of it because I got a new phone. It kept my phone looking like new on the inside and only some of the flaps fell off. I threw, dropped, and squished it so much and zero damage was ever done to the phone, with the only damage to the case being a slice due to a sharp edge. This new case seems to have thicker, sturdier rubber and I am pleased to see that the flaps are changed and seem better than before. I love the look and am very glad I bought it.

this is hands down the best case I've had

As a contractor, this is hands down the best case I've had. I've probably dropped my phone hundreds of times, as high as 8 feet, directly on the screen. Not a single scratch, dent, crack, nothing. Splashed it with water, used it with wet hands, and when I went to get my battery replaced (one of the bad 6s batteries) I asked the guy at the apple store to check the moisture indicator, and he said it was fine. The dust filters also work incredibly well.

I've had this case for a year, and only purchased another one because the rubber was starting to rip in some places, and the fingerprint sensor cover wore out (cleaning it didn't help anymore).

Cons- I personally cut the headphone jack cover off because it gets in my way. Also trimmed away the clear plastic cover off of the camera because it made my photos look hazy. Though with this new one, I haven't had that issue. They may have changed the material. People do occasionally have a hard time hearing me, but that's a common problem with any case this durable.

I mostly like the case, absolutely hate the belt clip holster thingy.

I have a love/hate relationship with this case. There are a few reasons. Let me start by saying my wife has hers, and it is great for her. She doesn't use the belt clip (more on this) and just carries it wherever she goes. This adds a lot of bulk to the phone, and for her, she needs that kind of case. I on the other hand, don't really need that kind protection most times as I carry it in a horizontal pouch with a case that protects all but the screen. And I never drop my phone. But there are times when I need this case. And when I use it, I love it because I'm so well protected but I hate the darn belt clip thingy. It is awful, a horrible design, and something that I just curse when I use it. If you are used to the hard protector of the "big o" company, and the great hard sided belt clip snap in holster, you'll be disappointed with this belt clip thing. It is two little arms that reach out, and you line up on the one little arm to the one part of the case, then it should snap into the other one. Well, I'm not someone who likes having to look at where things are to get them lined up. In fact, I gave it a couple of weeks and never got it right. Then, when you go to release the phone, the clip will sometimes grab on the case piece that is the screen protector, and now you have to wrestle it from the clip thing. I call it a clip thing because it isn't a full blown holster, like the big o's holster, it is a flimsy two armed thing that allows the phone to wiggle around while hanging on there.

As for the case, no doubt it will protect. I removed the little ear piece filter thing that keeps water out because it reduced volume enough I could not hear. And people I have talked to on the phone have told me it is hard to hear me, like I'm speaking into a cup or something. That is expected, given the heavy duty factor of this case. It has a military grade rating for durability, rain, dust, etc. and I believe it. But for me, it is just too big and the belt clip thingy too goofy and flimsy, to use more than for when I'm working in a rough environment. When I can, I switch back to a normal case that protects all but the screen, and keep it in a horizontal holster.

Amazing case

Amazing case. I used dremel for removing piece of plastic for audio jack to insert properly between plastic skeleton part of case. It did not affect anything and case is still super strong. Must clean often with alcohol or a lysol wipe to remove oils caused by hand use.

I have dropped phone 6 times with 5 feet highest point on rock. It is darn good case. If you want you can slightly remove paper/plastic material that covers holes for microphone and speaker. They do protect from much dust however they block out sound as well. I just slightly folded them over about 1/16 of an inch so a small hole is still visible and allowed for sound to travel in microphone and out of speaker for better quality and use. For this good case and a good 10 minutes of TLC phone is awesome and protected by case.

Has kept my 2015 iPhone NEW.

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2017

Bought one of these in March of 2015 for $55. 00 when I got an iPhone 6. Took my phone through mountains, canyons, rivers, streams, on and off the job, dropping the unit (accidentally) numerous times watching it land in the worst possible ways from heights as high as 10' and into wet environments.
In Aug 2017, I am now purchasing a replacement Survivor case as my first one is finally worn out... My iPhone 6 remains undamaged - perfect screen/digitizer. As family and friends bring out their phones with cracked screens telling tales of again going back to the screen repair shop for replacement screens ($65-100), my phone remains original, as new and fully functional. Price of Survivor now less than half of what I originally paid. Excellent value.

best of the initial durable case options

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2014

This is a very well done case, I now have both the griffin and the otterbox. I prefer the overall feel of the otterbox. The slimness works well in the pocket and it seems to me thet it provides slightly better overall protection.

But, I am now typing this with the griffin installed and the touch screen ability and responsiveness is night and day. The otterbox is being returned. Perhaps they will address the issues with the screen. Perhaps I am now a griffin convert.

My 4 and 5 lived in the otterbox. But as I continue to use this griffin, I appreciate the ability to actually use the phone more and more.

I don't feel the rubber is too soft or gummy. Nothing like the iphone 4 otterbox which gathered every bit of lint and practically adhered to your pocket lining.

Survivor- for iPhone 8

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

My iPhone 8 is fully protected and I am able to use the touch screen with ease.
The only setback to this phone:
1. The camera is half covered (so I have to remove the case to take pictures leaving the phone unprotected) and
2. The outer shell is hard to put on-bulky with the bottom a bit flimsy. The piece that covers the charger feels like it’s about to fall off and I just got this case two days ago.
Im a bit disappointed, having read the previous reviews. But other than that, the survivor is as expected to keep your phone protected against falls, breakage.

Manliest phone case in the market!

The case looks great. Better than the 5c case, which i used couple of years ago. In 5c case, you couldn’t swipe up to get the shortcuts menu. This case doesn’t have that issue. Also, The case will protect your phone like a AAA bodyguard protection. Sometimes i like to take the covers off just to take a look at the phone because it looks brand new, even after long term use! But there are issues also.

1.The microphone cover is not that durable. After 6 months, it had a tear and then it’s better to take off the whole thing (microphone jack area) because it looks really bad and you know it will eventually tear more.

2. The loudspeaker area has a filter. I should have took it off on day one. It blocks 75% of the sound.

3. The worst and sad thing about this case is the front plastic cover. Once it gets some scratches, and it scratches really quickly, you can not enjoy the screen anymore, it gets relly blurry. Sadly i had to throw it and now i just use the back cover only.

Hopefully the future iphone models won’t have these issues.

Would be a great case with a couple design changes.

I have had my iPhone 6 in this case for the last 6 months and for the most part it has been great.
My observations:

I use the supplied belt clip daily. The phone has never popped out of the belt clip and when removing the phone from the belt clip, I have to make sure to pull up on the top hook on the belt clip or else the top clip of the face cover becomes disengaged with the case.
That brings me to my next point. The face cover is held on the case with 6 clips. The top and bottom clips come unhooked way too easily- the top from the belt clip and the bottom from opening the flap that covers the lightning port.
Maybe because of the top and bottom clips not staying hooked, but dust does get under the face cover. I have had to take off the cover occasionally to clean out the dust.
The membrane over the home/touch ID has been working fine- I almost always access the phone via my thumbprint.
It has been dropped a couple of times- once on a concrete sidewalk from about 3 feet and there was not a mark.

If I could change anything, and I'm not sure how to do it, would be to change the design of the top/bottom face cover clips.
