Forget protecting the phone!!!!

I ended up bought another otter box instead because I didn't want to risk the $$$ phone!

Phone broke while this was on it.

It is very slim and has protected my phone from getting destroyed during a couple of falls.

Won't protect your phone if you drop it front face onto concrete, or if you dropped it form like 5 feet or anything

very slim case, protects the phone from scratches, easy to grip.

and it will not protect the phone if dropped or else

(8/17/14):After taking very good care of this case (and my phone for that matter

The best phone so far.

When I got my iPhone, I was looking for a case that would protect my phone without the inconvenience of bulkiness

Great look, super slim and tough to protect the phone if it should fall

I ended up buying a different cover because I was too worried this would not protect my phone.

Overall protects phone.

Not the greatest protection if you are looking to keep your phone completely safe, but you can't beat the look of this case

I haven't dropped my phone once since getting this case so either it's helped my butterfingers or I have just been lucky and don't know if it will actually protect the phone when/if that happens

But will not protect your phone.

Designer didnt think how a super smooth back can help secure the phone in the hand

Fits the phone really well and does not bulk it out like the others

I love its minimalism because I do not want a bulky phone to carry in my pocketbook.

This can protect your phone from a light drop onto certain areas.

I pulled my phone out of my jeans and the camera part broke off.

Thin plastic will protect phone from minor scrapes or drops.

Don't see how it would protect the phone.

phone well keep being it's slim feature.

I dropped my phone too often, which approves the good quality of this case.

I bought this cover wanting something to slim to protect my phone since the slim design was the reason that I bought it.

It is just enough to where it is not intrusive while using the phone but enough to elevate it off the surface for protection.

Horrible phone case...broke into pieces within a few weeks

My phone fell and it cracked the screen badly

Durability: 4.5Design: 4Ease of taking it off the phone: 2I think this case has a bit of an issue of heat dissipation - my phone gets overheated when I use this case but not with the other case I got.

Sweet phone case

Favorite phone case ever

It's not a rugged case but perfect for someone who wants to protect their phone without adding bulk or weight.

Nice slim case to protect from minor everyday use, like setting the phone on the table.

Though it wasn't without a few cracks in the corners after a year of use (and drops), my phone was still well protected

His phone fell a numerous of times and it took a while for it to really get in there and dent or scratch the case, but not the phone

I should have ordered another case, but hoped that it would still protect the phone even though part of the case had broken off

It was and alright case it does what you expect it to protect your phone from scratches...

Although the case chipped both times I dropped it, the phone remained protected.

but I've never cracked or broken a phone with this case

I don't see how this could do anything to protect the phone, even from the most minor incidents

It drives me bonkers when a beautiful and sleek phone is jammed into a bulky ruggedized case just to keep it safe.

Much nicer than a bulky phone cover.

Does not protect your phone by any means.

It comes out of my pocket with ease and still decently protects the phone.

slim design.. protects the phone enough

My phone has also been through many falls, even fell on rocks at Yosemite and luckily no damage!!

My phone has been thrown a few times since getting this case usually from a 3 ft table but no scratches or issues

It never took a serious drop, because I'm very careful with my phone, but it did a great job of keeping my phone safer from normal, every-day wear and tear

This case keeps your phone very secure, even if it drops out of your hands.

Its slim enough that it doesn't feel like your phone has a case, but rigid enough to protect it when it falls (trust me on this one)

Your phone will break if you drop it with this case as its only protection.

It's slim enough that it feels like I'm actually holding my phone, and not my phone with a chunk of plastic surrounding it, but it provides solid protection from scratches and drops

I have dropped my phone several time and the case has protected my phone.

Its thin, protect my phone so good

Its thin, protect my phone so good

I almost drop my phone once a week and this case protected my phone really well and lasted for a whole year.

This fits the bill, it is very thin, and slightly rubberized so as to hold the phone to surfaces but not enough so to make it difficult to remove from a pocket

It protects your phone, but the openings are too small for pretty much an width of AUX cord.

I never used iPhone cases and preferred "raw dogging" my phone and just risking the drop

I've loved this case -- strong, minimalist, hard plastic, and actually protects phone, UNTIL it wears & breaks

And best of all, it's very low-profile and allows you to nearly feel like your phone is as it should be: naked and free

Thin case that adds very little weight/bulk but protects the phone

I'm sure this will scratch the phone, and just doesn't really feel good when you're holding it

It does not protrude out far enough on the screen side to protect the phone if it falls on the screen side, so I think half the time it is not going to help.

The case is very very thin, to the point where I did not feel like it actually protected my phone

Sleek yet protects your phone from any mishaps

Even survived getting run over by a car, my phone was shattered and bent, but the case barely scratched!

It did not protect my phone from a fall and my screen cracked

I really think this is an inadequacy for something that should be protecting your phone, because this is a relatively large point of weakness

This is my 3rd replacement in about 6 years (the others were dropped and usually cracked around the edging somewhere -- but protected the phone).

Does not protect phone at all

Looks good but does not protect phone.

Great price and fits phone well.

And yes... this case is not a full case... hence logically speaking... if your IQ is anywhere above 70 you should already know that it will not protect the phone if you drop the phone

Doesn't do much to protect phone though.

UPDATE>>>I really liked this case, but the other day I took it off and found that the case had actually damaged my phone!

Don't expect it to protect your phone like an Otter Box

great phone case, fits as expected and looks great.

It does not protrude out far enough on the screen side to protect the phone if it falls on the screen side, so I think half the time it is not going to help.

My phone feels way less bulky, as if I wasn't using a phone cover.

Scratches your phone terribly

But I dropped my phone a bunch of times and it did not break with this case on.

I've dropped my phone several times and it hasn't broken.

Will not protect the phone

Great case, not bulky just enough to protect the phone and give it better grip.

My phone never fell

Super slim, fits phone well.

I never used iPhone cases and preferred "raw dogging" my phone and just risking the drop

My phone broke in this flimsy case.

The edges that protect the front came off after a fall, while they didn't break away it kept the case from further protecting the phone

Slim, it covers the phone but it will not protect it

I highly recommend this case to anyone who wants something stylish and protecting your phone.

My phone fell and it cracked the screen badly

I have dropped my phone a few times with the case on and the corners protected the phone perfectly.

I have dropped my phone a few times with the case on and the corners protected the phone perfectly.

As luck would have it, the 2.5 foot fall, onto carpet, was still enough to shatter my phone's screen

this is a nice product- sleek looking and fits the phone well

Case has a scuff on the top left corner but phone is undamaged

It doesn't seem like the heartiest case, but it has protected my phone each time I've dropped it.

and my phone was fine.

Its very skinny so it doesnt make your phone feel bulky.

In general, the case makes the top part of my phone looks weird because only the two corners are cover while leaving the middle open

It seemed to be made of a sturdy material that protected my phone from most drops and scratches.

and it's done a good job at protecting my phone.

It drives me bonkers when a beautiful and sleek phone is jammed into a bulky ruggedized case just to keep it safe.

Its very slim, but it protected my phone for almost a year

Its the same as having a full heavy duty case protecting the phone, with the feel of no case at all.

its a simple case that works and protects your phone... definitely suggest.

I should have ordered another case, but hoped that it would still protect the phone even though part of the case had broken off

All after one accidental phone drop.

Does not protect the phone on edges.

I would not trust this case to protect my phone under any circumstances

Spend a measly $20 now and protect the phone itself for longer life and better trade-in value.

I've dropped my phone with it a few times and my phone still works and is in one piece.

If it actually protected the phone it would be a great case.

I really wanted a slim case for my phone to preserve the simple beauty and natural design of the iPhone

I didn't mind so much since I am very careful with my phone, but then my wife dropped my phone EXACTLY where the plastic broke off

The case broke... which was OK, but the phone was perfectly fine.

I wouldnt trust this to protect the phone if dropped, but it doesnt claim to protect against those scenarios, very good product.

I feel like it doesn't fully hold my phone well

This is a perfectly fine phone case if you're looking for something that looks sleek, and you don't have high expectations about the level of protection you'll get for your phone

Good phone case

it's like having a new phone

but it doesn't protect the front of your phone because there is no bumper to protect your phone from making straight contact with the ground.

It's thin, not the thinnest, but enough to not break your phone from a short drop

Also, ignore the negative reviews that talk about how easily the case cracks and how it does not fully protect the phone

I wanted a case that you wouldn't notice and would protect the phone from scratches

, it does a decent job protecting the phone, but it's not the most heavy-duty thing

I don't think it can give your phone any protection, may be minimal or this is just one piece of a real case.

I can easily take this phone out of my pockets, especially with tight pants (I gained some weight...

This case looks nice, and is slim; but so much so I don't see how it can protect the phone other than from scratches, definitely not from a drop.

Bottom line is, the case protected the phone, which is what is was supposed to do

The only thing that I did not like about this case is that it dosn't protect the screen at all, three days after I purchased this case I dropped my phone and cracked my whole screen

This case will not protect your phone from drops (but that isn't what I ordered it for), but does protect great against scratches and wear and tear, plus gives your phone a unique look!

exactly what i was looking for to prevent scratches to the back and sides of my phone. if you are looking for something to protect your phone from falls, this is probably not for you.

I have dropped my phone a couple of times on my concrete steps and the case has protected the phone nicely

I have dropped my phone a couple of times on my concrete steps and the case has protected the phone nicely

Unfortunately, I do not have this case anymore as I broke it when taking it off one day to clean my phone

I'm on my second one as I dropped my phone onto the concrete one too many times and it cracked the first one

I had to order a second one after I dropped my phone and cracked the first case (after a year of use), but my phone survived the drop unaffected and the case is cheap enough that I was fine with buying another one

This is the best phone case I ever had

Scratches your phone terribly

My favorite phone case to date

Has saved my phone three times now--accidentally flung it across concrete from waist height the other day and it protected it perfectly

I ordered this to replace a bulkier phone case that was falling apart

I was literally standing still, listening to a presentation at work, when the wrist-strap loop broke, sending my phone to the floor

So far, I've dropped a Nexus 4 and an iPhone 5s in the Ringke Slim and 3 out of 3 times, the case has cracked from the drop but the phone shows no damage.

Also I drop my phone at least once a day and has never broken

Doesn't protect the phone at all.

Front of care is so close to being flush with the phone's glass front that I don't think it would protect the phone from grit or sand on a table

very nice cover, fits tide and really protects the phone

If you are interested in protection incase you drop your phone on the screen edge, I don't think this will protect your phone very much.

Looks nice but my screen cracked when I dropped it slightly on kitchen floor (not even cement) but that was my fault for choosing a case that does not protect the phone at all.

Ringke Slim's are my favorite phone cases so far

This is a great looking case, protects the phone pretty well

As far as protecting my phone though

Some other reviews thought it was sturdy enough for impact, but since I don't tend to drop/bash my phone, this works for me.

Phone landed on the top right corner and broke that part of the case off but protected the phone well enough

My phone fell off of my lap with this case on it and the screen shattered.

The first case I smashed in my pocket by accident with a free weight and it smashed a corner and warped the case's corner, but the phone didnt have a scratch on it.

By itself the iPhone feels slippery but with this 'hard case' clipped on, the phone is much easier to use and feels much more secure.

It probably won't protect my phone from drops, like a some other bulkier cases, but that isn't what I wanted

The security of the case but it does not feel like your phone is an armored car.

it protects the phone well and looks great.

This case takes the damage and protects my phone well.

It makes for a nice low-profile, pocket friendly phone (but not waterproof of course).

I really like the feel of the case and the feel of the screen protector but one thing that really upset me was in the pictures it shows the case sticking out so that if the phone fell it wouldn't drop on the phone because the case will stop it but my case sits flush with the phone so if my phone were to fall on the screen this case bumbers wount help at

It's very slim and and snugs the phone but always breaks around the volume controls and ringer control

this is a great product... for everything else like dropping your phone on the ground, use your common sense and look elsewhere

doesn't protect phone at all

My normal resting area on my computer monitor doesn't work any longer, as the phone just slides off

my last case had gotten beat up protecting my phone

Thin and will not protect ypur phone

This case is sleek, and really does protect your phone.

Did protect my phone before braking.

Even protected my phone from a couple ~3-ft drops on concrete (there may have been some luck involved, too)

The phone was never dropped or mishandled in a way that could have caused or explained this type of damage

I did not drop the phone or abuse it in any way

It probably won't protect my phone from drops, like a some other bulkier cases, but that isn't what I wanted

It's about as thin as you can get while still having protecting your phone from small bumps.

Phone landed on the top right corner and broke that part of the case off but protected the phone well enough

Phone landed on the top right corner and broke that part of the case off but protected the phone well enough

The case is very thin and hugs the phone very well.

Without the catch-edge the phone easily falls out of the case

Regardless, it's a great case: it protects my phone and looks great!

Nice simple cover for the price!It cover the phone in the right places to protect it from the

It looks great, but when it comes to actually protecting your phone, it will only stop scratches

WHERE YOUR PHONE ENDS UP CRASHING

I've dropped my phone multiple times, including once knocking it flying 10 feet away as I tried to catch it, and each time the phone was working and the screen was perfectly intact when I picked it up.

Dropped phone lots of times and no damages.

Her case cracked a little after multiple falls - but it did protect her phone well

Very slim, stays clean and protects phone

This was a good slim case that fit my phone well.

It has protected the phone from waist high drops by him and being tossed by our toddler

I accidentally dropped my phone onto the sidewalk tonight (it probably fell a good 3-4ft) and nothing happened except for a minor scrape/chip on the corner of the case -- no cracked screen or anything

The case is sleek looking and fits the phone great, doesn't add much bulk to the phone and the lip around the edge of the screen keeps it from getting scratched up when you set it down.

Very slim, wont bulk up your phone and protects against light drops as well.

I had to order a second one after I dropped my phone and cracked the first case (after a year of use), but my phone survived the drop unaffected and the case is cheap enough that I was fine with buying another one

This case didn't even protect my phone with one fall

The first one was awesome and protected my phone a while

but it did NOT protect my phone

It is not going to protect your phone from a direct drop from a high distance but it will keep it safe from scuff and sratches.

It has protected the phone from several drops from about hip
