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.

It's a very durable light protection case. I've had it for about six months no scratches on my phone and would really recommend it for you.

I liked the Otterbox my only issue is the rubber got stretched out and eventually ripped. The Ballastic case is a different design and therefore this will not be an issue.

It looks great, no scratches and I have 5 & 10 yr old girls. The cover that goes around back side shows scrapes but nothing ugly, looks like rub marks from my nails. I would buy another Spigen case without question. Hope this helps your decision. Great quality.

The Otterbox Commuter case fits perfectly with the screen protector. In fact that is the case I have on my phone. There are no issues with bubbles on the sides. The only problem I had with this screen protector is that it is kind of difficult to apply it without having any air bubbles left behind. My order came with 5 screen protectors. I used 3 before I was able to get rid of all the bubbles. Another problem that I have noticed with this screen protector is that it's hard to keep it smudge free. I like the screen protector. It is very clear and I have not seen scratches on it yet. I hope this helps. The Otterbox Commuter case fits perfectly with the screen protector. In fact that is the case I have on my phone.

The case does get dirty and scratched. I've had mine for a couple minus and the sides are all discolored and/or scratched. But the case is pretty solid.

I have had the Otterbox for a while now, and I have not had any problems. I love mine.

I've never had an Otterbox. Probably it's not the same. But it is really durable and solid. I've used it for months and it's held up to and protected my phone from drops and damage. I really like it.

I do not know about that partcular protector, but I do not think this is scratched easily. I have dropped this countless times and have traversed the rugged outdoors with this. So far so good.

No, mine don't have any scratches and I've had them for about 8 months and I share them with my bf whose Constantly dropping his phone so in my opinion they've passed that test

There is no scratch at all; front, back, all four sides, and the iPad and all accessories are in the originally sealed box with all original film/plastic protectors around. I am not sure whether this is the case for all sellers but it is the case for the one I bought from.

Honestly, I've had this case for a few months now, and it is fairly scratched up on the back. The only way it gets scratched is when I set it down on the desk, because it travels solo in my pockets. I do not know how to take advantage of the warranty, however, if several cases are getting scratched (yours, mine, cases from other reviewers), I don't think that the case is really anti-scratch. I accept it for what it is, which is a cheap case that does a decent job of protecting the phone. Sorry that this doesn't really answer your question though.

Love mine. The OtterBox Commuter series protects quite well. Good investment.

Mine didn't come with scratches on it but it has gotten some over time. Also, it was kind of hard to put the case on but I don't think it will break.

I think it is just as good as an Otterbox. My sister has an Otterbox and she dropped it numerous times and it hasn't cracked. I have already dropped mine and all it does is bounce off the ground. Since the plastic raises the screen from coming into contact with any surface, it doesn't get scratched. My phone has not cracked and a two year old has thrown it everywhere. I definitely recommend it. Especially for just $7. You cant go wrong!!

From my time with this case it has been amazing. Materials feel solid and the rubber bumpers on the corners are a plus. Never owned an otterbox but I've handled one in a Verizon store. I can tell you that for half the price your getting a case that's just as good. Better in my opinion.

The Commuter series is a 2 layer case which includes a screen protector as well as a belt clip. The Symmetry Series is slim and just fits your phone. You have to buy an additional screen protector. I actually had the Defender series which is a 3 layer protection. I found it overtime to be quite bulky that is why I bought the Symmetry. It's as slim as your phone and comes in different colors and patterns. Hope this helps. You can also see all the series on Otterbox's website.
