Does this case/cover offer much protection on the corners in the event it was accidentally dropped?

Hi! The cover does offer coverage on the corners. I haven't yet dropped my iPad...nor do I plan on it...so, I can just speculate, that the cover would protect the iPad's impact on a hard surface.

I believe it does because the corner are hard and the iPad snaps into all four corners.

I think it's enough. Of course, if you dropped it on something pointy and all of the stars aligned and you nailed that corner, it could probably do some damage. But for most surfaces, I think it's fine. When I drop my phone, it tends to be on the corners and I haven't had any issues.

I have dropped it but usually when I am sitting and the fall is not so dire. However, I find the protective cover to be one of the best I've had. Even if it falls directly on the screen, enough of a buffer is in place from the outer cover to shield it from touching any surface. It has a soft rubber case that is covered entirely by a hard cover case. Based on my own experience I would recommend it.

I think so. When closed the thickness of the cover and slight space that recesses the screen seems pretty protective from average bumps and drops. Not heavily cushioned.

I don't think anything can protect if dropped just right. These are more for fun. Protects corners. I would buy again.

I have dropped my phone with this case and it has been protected. But they were small drops. I don't think it is super protective.

Corners are protected - design provides good protection against an accidental drop.

The black corners are built nice. I would say it will protect from a fall. Its not an otter box.. but i feel it well protect very well..

The case does clip over the edge of the phone, so depending on the drop it should but no guarantees.

Noted in my review: corners aren't well protected since there's that "rebound" effect, especially when the case gets less stiff, it hit the cement but may flap once or twice which takes the case corner off the phone momentarily. Thus, with time, the case gets loose. So when you drop, it's easier for the corner of the phone to slide out. However it is one of the better ones out there. Im thankful it didn't shatter my screen since I prefer no screen protection.

I have dropped mine a couple of times and its fine. The corners are covered by the clasps, and they are raised enough to protect the flat edges. It looks lux too, if that's your style.

It offers some protection around the edges but it won't protect from major drops.

It does cover the front edges, but the front corners are 'exposed'. That's not to say there's no protection as the case angles back to about half way covering the top and bottom, but if you drop the phone directly at the front facing top or bottom corners you can damage them. That being said, it is a very slim case and provides coverage of the critical side edges, so that when I put the phone face down no part of it touches the flat surface, due to the edge covering, and I appreciate the easy access to ports and toggles (i.e. power & volumes).I like it a lot, but as with all things ymmv.

I bought this for my son. It is not a case designed for good protection. It does wrap around the edges, but I wouldn't count on that in case of a drop.

It doesn't really slide much as the buttons stick out on the sides, so you kind of have to peel it off from either site. The corner protection is very limited as this case is very thin and doesn't really wrap around the corners. I had mine drop from 5 ft. which hit a corner and it shattered the glass. The glass is tied to the lcd display as well so to replace it can be $200 or more at some places.

The corners are stiff and extend just beyond the phone itself. I do believe it would survive a drop without scratching or denting the phone.

It does to a point. Because its a rubber material but there is nothing over the screen to protect it. If you drop it face down it will not be protected at all.
