2.0 out of 5 starsNOT THE RIGHT CASE TO PROTECT YOUR IPHONE!
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2015
Sadly I was hoping that this Survivor case would be perfect for my IPhone 6 plus, but alas, this was not the case, pun intended!
My requirements were two-fold; a case that protected my expensive IPhone in case it was dropped and a clear screen protector that prevented the screen from getting scratched every time I touched the face of the phone. Unfortunately this was not the case to purchase and I will tell you why.
First, the case makes an already giant IPhone 6 Plus much heavier and bulkier. The case is constructed in such a way that there are a few major pieces to deal with. The phone slips into the base which protects the phone. After that, the face protector goes on top of the lower case and snaps right in, NOT! The face piece of clear plastic has tabs that are SUPPOSED TO click into places on the case that holds the screen protector on. This is easier said than done. Some if the tabs may click and lick while others don't, allowing dust and dirt to get in your expensive screen.
Not only do the tabs not only click in and line up, but the corresponding buttons and switches on the side of your phone never seem to line up perfectly. You press and press the case to turn up volume but it doesn't work because the cases never seems to line up perfectly with the volume button!
As stated earlier, I wanted a clear plastic face protector to protect the IPhone. Well it protects it, BUT, seems always a but somewhere, the plastic is so cheap and thin it shows every fingerprint and scratches very easily. The screen protector gets dirty very quickly and is difficult to clean properly. They suggest a clean cloth and a little bit, just a little bit of water and soap! NOPE, never seems to get the screen totally clean!
Griffin was kind enough to send me a new replacement case but once again the same problems; tabs don't click and lick properly, clear plastic face protector gets scratched too easily and yet again, yes I said again, the buttons don't line up on the case. If I have the same problem with two cases, it is indeed a real problem. I have talked to customer service and they were nice enough but again, not the case for me, and most likely not the case for you either!
