how does the survivor case compare to the protector case? both made by griffin

I believe the survivor case is a little bulkier and checking both out it looks as though the protector may not come with an installed screen protector or detachable belt clip. I've had two survivors but no protectors so I may be a little off the mark.

I do not have direct experience with the protector, but looking at the respective stat sheets on the two cases, it looks as if the Survivor is held o a more rigorous standard. On the survivor they quote more detail on dust and water resistance as well as a specific military grade drop standard. I hope that helps.

It's a little slimmer and the TPU is a little softer than the original Slim Armor. This is the better case, but so far there is no option to buy standalone frames for the Slim Armor S, so if you're looking to get a bunch of different colors, you may want to consider the original.

In no way does it compare to a lifeproof case. Both cases are completely different and made for different purposes. This is an open face case with a clear plastic backing that is held on by the plastic bezel/trim that wraps around the edges of the phone. The phone is exposed to the elements. The lifeproof case totally encloses the phone in the case which is supposed to stop any and all elements from getting to the phone. The lifeproof case is also made of a more shock absorbing material which will hold up to drops, bumps, etc. a lot better than this case will.

it doesnt compare. At all. I have the "fre" lifeproof and it gives complete protection. I can use it underwater without being nervous about whether it will get water damage. I am not too worried when I drop my phone with a lifeproof. It offers great protection, but its not as slim as this one. Do not buy this one if youre looking for great protection. This one should be bought if you want slight protection with a much smaller feel like you barely recognize there is a case on it.

I have the griffin survivor and it does not fit. My wifes ipad has a smaller protective case and it does fit. There is some foam you could trim and try it however I did not try this.

Absolutely I have a griffin survivor iPhone case. The one that they sell on this particular Amazon website is fraudulent and a knock off. Do not buy this!

Mario, I don't know what 'survival protection' is. I have a Pong case on my iPad 2 that almost doubles the thickness of the unit and the Ram Mount X-Grip fits and holds securely while traveling in my motorhome. Order it, if you are not satisfied, return it to Amazon for a refund.

To me the are about the same. I couldn't tell the difference between the two. But if you really want the best protection buy the life proof.

I've owned both but I really like the Trident case better. The Trident case keeps it's shape better than the OtterBox. The Otterbox case started losing its shape after a couple of weeks of use, on the other hand I've had twoTrident cases and my original case is still going strong after several years of use.

I've got it for iPhone 5s, just different camo. I use to be a huge Griffin fan until I found out that, when I took my case off... It had some kind of oil all over my phone from being inside the case. I've got no clue how or why it does it, but it does. I'd research other cases b4 spending this kind of cash to has an oil substance all over my iPhone while inside the case. Also gets dirt, moisture inside as well so it doesn't protect it like it claims. My mom has it on her iPhone 4s and the case does the same to hers. It'll ruin your phone after a while. Just a HUGE FYI. Just my opinion and experience. Good luck. T. I've got it for iPhone 5s, just different camo. I use to be a huge Griffin fan until I found out that, when I took my case off...

Mine was a griffin survivor case (I believe but if not it's a great case) it says survivor on the back and has the logo on the button. Mine came in a griffin box. That plastic bag you're telling everyone about sounds very odd. I'd contact Amazon customer service.

The commuter case is not NEARLY as bulky as the defender. Is is much thinner and fits in pockets better. It can still take quite a beating, though.

Well I don't really know how they compare. But read the reviews and looks like the Gariz case is a dud. The one by Fujifilm half case is nice and looks very classic on my X-E1. So far so good and fits like a glove. Very Retro.

Hello S. Bapisteller,We do generally recommend using cases that do not cover the edges of the front screen with our screen protectors. The griffin survivor case will cause problems with our screen protector and we do not recommend it with our screen protectors. If you have any question, please feel free to contact us. iTechAccessory

Same materials as the defender (I have a defender) , but definitely not as substantial. I was hesitant about getting anything less than the defender initially because I've dropped mine at least a dozen times with no issue but this one is the proper size for my wife and she's willing to take the chance. The biggest difference in the two different cases I think is the lack of coverage on the front of the phone. If you're worried about the glass breaking, the defender is definitely safer. You're going to have to weigh the pros and the cons of each design. Hope this helps.

Hi my daughter recently broke the screen on her iPod touch 4g and she is getting a new one from Santa. So I bought the case. I already have it for my iPhone and it is great. I think if my daughter had it we wouldn't be having to replace her iPod. She dropped it on our hard wood floors and the impact on the corner shattered it. This case has a hard durable inside with a screen protector and a rubber exterior so to me is is far better than the otter box. Only case better is life proof which is waterproof. I highly recommend it!

I'll measure if you want, but the defender seems like a large phone case. The armor seems like a toughbook tablet. Oh and while the defender is not waterproof and all kinds of stuff gets behind the lame screen protector, at least people can hear you when you call them which is more than i can say for the armor. If you are willing to have a non-waterproof case "Ballistic" brand case for $25 is way superior to Defender.
