PROTECTION: This looks like a nice case, but does it offer high protection? And grip?

I wouldn't say it gives high protection at all, but is more of a soft plastic outer layer. Also makes for a better grip than with the phone alone. It keeps the thin profile. This is just what I was looking for.

I have the matte case. It is excellent. Perfect compromise between protection and thin form factor. Have dropped a couple times on corners with no vissible damage or problems. The matte version offers a nice grip, as well.

I wouldn't say high protection because it is not a completely hard plastic case and does not cover over the front. I have dropped my phone a few times where it tumbled across the wood floor and it has held up. As for grip, it's just a smooth case, so better than plain phone but not great.

It's definitely not a slip on and off kinda case haha. But, i think of that as a good thing, cuz it makes it more sturdier. I've only had to take it off a few times, and when I did I just pryed (sp?) the front part off with a knife carefully to get it started. The side buttons seem to line up perfectly for me. I do notice they're a little harder to push than the others I've had, but this is definitely a case to protect, so I think it's cuz the buttons are stiffer. When I dropped this sucker last week for the first time, it tumbled and landed something awful and my heart sank to my butt and it didn't phase this phone one bit.

I would say it is a little slick but not slippery. Certainly not as rigid and non-slippery as an Otter Box but not bad. It is very thin but should provide some protection if the phone is dropped.

The edges have some grip....but I would say it is more smooth than grip.....it does not hang up going into your pocket......it's a pretty cool case for the price....looks pretty sleek and is very functional.

I would definitely buy the case for it. Overall...it is decent when it comes to being dropped (as long as it does not fall on the screen) it will last for a bit

It has some grip. It is actually two pieces one has grip and one is hard for protection!

Oh yeah I know what you mean. Well, I've had it for about a week so far & I've used it A LOT. I haven't had that problem yet. I don't think you'll have a problem but then again I'm not 100% sure. This is a pretty High Quality case. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Yeah it seems to protect it pretty well. The phone slips in really nicely and easily. but there's a lot of rubber around it so I think there are some pretty decent protection. however, I haven't dropped it yet so I cannot speak from experience.

I think people like the smooth feel it gives off and the design or color that is chosen. But seriously, I just bought it, n I already need another one. I mean, with my note 3, the most important thing to me is protection, but there are people who care about looks n feel more, in which this case would be perfect but for protection, Absolutely not.

The case is made of a fairly stiff rubber. It will protect the phone from scratches but I don't think it would provide as much cushioning in the event of a drop as some other cases that use a softer silicone for their inner shell. Having said that, I have never dropped my phone in this case before. It looks like others are reporting it does protect against drops.

I have not but i can tell you the grip is solid, i think it should be fine. The back up strap alao helps to secure but it will blick the screen as it is as thick as a shoe lace

Grip is fine. I haven't tried picking up any small smooth objects like an iphone, but then who would under water. I can grip the equipment without any issues. And things like shells are easy to pick up. I think they should be durable since they are thick. So issues so far.

Haven't dropped it yet, looks like it offers some protection. More for fun I would say.

Hello, it is definitely a nice case. Nothing really fancy about it. But if you want complete protection for it, water, dust etc, it is definitely worth the money. I haven't dropped it in water, but If I did, i'm confident it would protect it. It also has lifetime warranty. If the plastic case or any part of it breaks. You just go to the website and order a new. Free of charge!

No I think they've done a great job designing it to make sure the screen doesn't touch when I put it down on a flat surface. Also it's one of the few cases that protects the volume keys and on/off button. They are protected but still respond easily to the touch. Also the camera lens is well protected on the other side too. I'd definitely buy it again. Good luck!

No it does not feel slippery at allDue to the texture of the case, a person can get a nice firm grip without fear of dropping the device.

I don't know. I did the research and read all the reviews and this is why I got this case.
