Phone survived a fall off of my car!

I was getting gas in my car and checking the air pressure when a friend of mine called me. I talked for a second and had my hands full of the air hose. I sat my phone on the trunk and finished with my car. I got 1/2 a mile down the road and realized...NO PHONE! I turned around and found it in the middle of the road. The phone was off and appeared to have a cracked screen. I cleaned the phone up and the screen was not cracked! The phone landed on the top right corner right at the camera cut through, and there was road rash on the bottom corners also, but the top took it hard! The phone recovered around an hour and a half later and has been working great since. The phone case still looks new when I took it out of the case!
This cover/case was just what I wanted. I did not need a fancy one with all the bells and whistles. I also needed it to fit inside a cloth carryall case that I keep attached to my purse. It actually fits better than my old case. I feel there is enough cushioning somI do not have to worrynabout dropping it.
Pros: High quality, Durable, not too big around edges
very well made case and does its job very well, only 2 things i dont like; the volume buttons both click at once and dont line up with the case on, and how dirty the accent colour gets, very hard to clean. but other then that a very nice case, also i dont find it to slippery like others had mentioned :)
This was a great little find. I have three boys and we all have Apple products. I bought the Defender case for my 10 year olds Apple mini, and the Symmetry case for my 14 year olds iPhone. He dropped the phone while using a "Selfie" stick and ruined it. Luckily the phone was replaced, but I made sure he got an Otterbox to protect it this time. The only wish that I had is that Otter box came in more of a variety of colors and designs to personalize them a bit more. Pretty boring choice selection.
Pros: High quality, Durable
Cons: no style
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great protection - weird color

I love the protection of this case - after several drops onto asphalt, my phone and screen are still intact. I like the fact that I still have great protection, but don't have to carry such a bulky case. The only complaint I have is the color. I ordered the cardinal online expecting a similar color to that pictured: RED. What I got I see as bright orange and co-workers see as salmon or coral. It was resting on my desk, near a neon pink Post-It note and it actually matched that color very closely. It's not the end of the world, but if you're looking for red, don't order this.
