How is the TPU cover in terms of protecting the phone? Any accidental drop experience?

The cover casing did a great job absorbing the impact of drop. I had knocked the phone off a 4 foot table and my phone just bounced after dropping on it's top right corner. The case covers the phone's silver bezel completely. Highly recommend this buy

It feels comfortable when holding the phone and covers it well. However I have never had any drops since owning it so I can't give a confident answer as far as drop protection. I also bought the rubber case hyperion makes for the extended battery cover.

Quite a few drops, actually. Concrete, gravel, and a "helpful" dog picking it up. And my phone looks good as new. It can take a beating.

I bought the extended Bat for my Samsung 4 however the nfc and S beam wont work. I dont know if it is to thick? I had one with my S3 and it worked great! Even with my S4 I am on the phone all day and never once have I had to recharge it before days end. The Customer service with Hyperion has been amazing too

Just to let you know, Mine was not in good condition when i got mine, but that was just design issue. I can not tell you how many times I have dropped it and frankly I don't care what kind of damage it does or doesnt do to the case since I knew immediately upon coming out of the box that I would have to replace it soon. That being said, It has held up to drops better than I had expected. Every time I drop it, I still look down to check that everything is ok with my phone. I believe it has stood up to this because the rubber coating on the inside of the case stops most of the forces that would normally shatter the plastic case around it.

I dropped my phone completely naked (first week of owning it, still looking for a case) and it survived fine, but the silver rim got scratched :( Considering this case, I think it will protect from most falls just fine and keep the cosmetics in tact.

I haven't had a serious drop yet. The case is slick which is worrisome. I bought a Tech Armor screen cover in hopes of extra protection.

It's TPU plastic not hard plastic. It's better quality plastic to be because it obsurbs the shock better if you drop your phone. Hard plastic covers just break and do not protect your phone. This case is bendable but is GREAT at protecting your phone!

I haven't had the case very long, and I haven't dropped my phone since I got it. I do feel pretty comfortable that the case will protect it from a "normal" drop though. By normal I mean out of my hand onto the floor or ground. Probably not anything higher than that though.

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.

Not that much. I mean if you drop the phone it will be protected with the rubber that pads the whole device but not to the point that it's just to big to handle.

It isn't going to be protective from big drops like a life proof case might be however if you don't drop your phone a lot it will definitely help. I love mine and it has a great feel to it as well.

There is a rubber layer that covers the entire phone. A hard plastic layer snaps on over the rubber but doesn't completely cover the rubber. I feel like my phone is well protected. I've dropped it twice and the phone doesn't have a single ding. The cover is also none the worse for wear after the falls, either.

I have no idea what a TPU case is. However, I have a rubberized case covering the sides and back of my phone, and it fits in this case.

I dropped mine out of a Tahoe. Decent height and sustained a few nicks to the case. No damage done to the phone.

TPU case is a plastic flexible kind of phone cover but not like a otter box defender case. It has a rubber surface / material.

I have dropped my phone a couple times and my phone is fine. The case has extra padding on corners . I think has protected my phone well.

I've had it on my phone since it came in the mail and in my opinion it works! I dropped my phone: no damage at all. While I was taking a bath, I put the top of the case in the water and took it out: no damage. So I would recommend it esp if you don't want to pay $80+ like me for a phone case. As with anything, just use precaution. But I would definitely recommend it.

I have dropped it several times. One time was from a store counter and slide all the way across my store and still survived. Not a scratch. I highly recommend it for how cheap it is.

I have dropped it from 10ft+ easily and it has done nothing to the phone inside. The outside silicone cover works well to absorb shock. Don't try smashing it or dropping it from like 50ft though...not sure how that works
