It's more for dents and scratches... but I've never droppedy computer so I wouldn't have any real experience with that! I have this shell cover on my computer and when I take it around or travel I put it in a soft case made for the macbook of a similar size. Hope that helps!

Well I wouldn't say it was designed to protect against major falls, it's not padded in any way however I was glad to have it on when mine fell even though it landed on carpet not hard floor. My answer would be that it just might survive a fall depending on the impact but protecting the internals of your computer is another thing.

The case or somewhat ridged so it wouldn't offer a lot of protection from a fall

Yes to scratches on the back and sides, as well as the screen, if the cover is closed (I would also recommend a screen protector - I have the ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD). Good for small falls (1-3ft), but if you're looking for something that can withstand regular falls or ones that may occur in outdoor environments regularly, I'd recommend the LifeProof case.

The cover works well with the Smart Cover. It is thin plastic (not padded) so it will protect against scratches but probably not drops.

I have a car seat protector on mine. If you use boosters that you take off constantly you have to be careful that it doesn't have anything sharp that could ripe it. Won't hold scratches like real leather but quality is pretty decent.

Yes. I use mine all the time for games and sometimes I slide it across my Kindle and it has not scratched my Kindle at all. Like I wrote it is a cheap item that really does work well for me. So I do recommend it.

No scratches or dents showing since April. No major drops, just a few basic falls on the floor (3 to 4 foot drops) and the case protected phone 100%. You need to put on a screen protector though, if you want 100% protection from scratching your phone. The case protects back and sides of phone 100%, but face is still exposed. There is a raised lip all around the front of the case so that when you place the phone face down on a surface, the screen doesn't touch the surface; however, if you really want to protect the face you need to apply a screen protector.

The front cover outside I think is bonded leather. The back is plastic. The inside is a microfiber/false suede. It has a magnetic quality, and fits my 2013 Nexus 7 perfectly, and if it is on when closed, it comes on when I open it so that I don't have to bother with the on button. I like it very much!

No it's not leather. It's a hard plastic and a fabric case. I like this case a lot. Not heavy but it will protect the kindle

Would this case protect the nexus 7 in a backpack? YesIs the cover solid enough that it could be hit with the corners of text books while closed? I dont see why not

No, of course not... It is just a case. As a case, it does protect. I just had problems with it slipping off every time I had the tablet open.

Not a a lot of protection. I have my phone wrapped with the same materials that is use to wrap high end cars which protects it just fine along with the bumper. I have dropped my phone plenty and it has done just fine. If I dropped my phone face down on a rock or something really sharp it could crack the screen. I like how small this one is. But if you are looking for heavy duty protection this is not the case for you.

It will protect it from drops on a flat surface, the edges are raised. If you were to drop it, the rubber or plastic of the case would hit first. It won't protect against scratches from keys or other items in your pocket though, there is no screen protector.

It will prevent the screen from getting scratches. It will not interfere with the functionality of the phone. It doesn't do anything to prevent physical damage to the phone caused by a drop. You would need to purchase a protective case to provide that functionality.

This case will protect from scratches, but it wont protect it if you dropped it

It doesn't appear to be very durable, but I haven't dropped my phone to see. It protects against scratches and fingerprints but not sure if it would hold up from a fall. I would look for a thicker screen protectore

No. The interior is lined with a thinner leather (or, pleather ?) similar to the outside of the case. But, it's smooth and the stitching is good, so your Nexus 7 won't be scratched. It's a really decent case for the price, and the one I still use more than any other.

There is a lip of 1.25mm that raises the Nexus 5 off of a table when it is placed face down/if you drop it on the ground to protect the screen. While I haven't really dropped it from a substantial height (&gt;1ft) it does feel like it will protect your phone well if you drop it.
