I accidentally dropped my phone and surprise, the glass didn't crack.

Glass shattered into a thousand pieces

The side around the screen doesn't look high enough to protect the screen glass from the shock when you drop it.

First off, Rearth includes a screen protector which looks of good quality but I haven't used it as I prefer tempered glass

Dont protect the glass, my display is now broke

A screen side fall still broke the glass

Still recommend tempered glass screen protector to be safe.

On the older iPhone 4 the back glass even shattered on a fall.

I finally ended up breaking the case, but wasn't disapointed that it had protected my iphone as well as it did and as long as it did.

This thing lasted about a year and then died a long, slow death as it broke apart little by little

I do not recommend if someone is looking for a quality product as it fails to protect itself

If you can somehow handle your iPhone and this case very carefully then the case will protect against scratches and dings as it should (and feel great doing it.)
