I am not sure how well it will protect the phone if I dropped it on a hard surface but the light weight and size, as well as the reasonable price, make it worth the trade-off.

Even on hard surfaces

Also the raised edge provides some protection to the screen in the event it lands on a smooth surface

and I worried about it falling on a hard surface.

It certainly provides more grip (and, of course, drop protection).This case should allow the iPhone to take a serious drop onto a hard surface and survive intact

Gel-like feel so very protective when you drop your phone on hard surfaces, and grippy as well in your hand.

I've dropped my phone a few times with my current case (Zoogue) with a 1.0 mm lip, which I find really essential in case of frontal impact when dropped on hard surfaces, and has held up so far and screen is without a crack

It provides better gripping for an otherwise slick iPhone 6 making it less likely to drop, while allowing the phone to be slim and stylish as it was designed.

It's a perfect fit, great feel to it - not cheap and flimsy as I thought it might be.
