Is this case really dust proof, or at least good at trying to prevent dust from getting inside de case?Thanks

I haven't had mine all that long, however it 'seems' fairly dust proof. Of course, if you are in a particularly dusty environment, you may find that nothing will keep it out of the phone.I've been pleased with it thus far, and have yet to find that my dog (yellow Lab) has been able to get his hair in between the case & the phone.

Excellent question. I purchased my otterbox case the same day I purchased my iphone5s. I will remove my iphone from its case and post a review with some pictures within a few days. :)

The only weak link I see regarding dust in the iPhone 5s case might be the hole in the screen protector for the finger print ID/home button. My old 3GS case had very few dust issues but the screen protector covered the whole front of the phone. For regular every day use I think this case should be fine. My old case as good as it was I had to take it apart about once a year to clean out stuff that crept in. If I have to do that a couple of times a year for this model no big deal. The finger print ID convenience is worth it. If you want to go hard core check out the Preserver series. I just couldn't justify the price difference.

Dust will still get inside the case. You have to remove case and periodically clean the screen and case to remove dust. Personally, I don't have a problem with that. As long as the case protects my phone from me dropping it, I'm fine with some dust getting inside the case. Be careful if you decide to get the Otter Box case, when cleaning I always use a %100 cotton handkerchief, to avoid scratching cell phone screen. Hopefully, my comment helps you in making a decision to purchase this case. You can't beat Otter Box quality!!!

If the door is closed, you shouldn't have trouble with dust getting onto the items inside. Just got one of these. Looks nice!

I love the white! It gives it a very unique look. Plus compared to black cases, yes it can get dirty, but it shows less dust. All around awesome case!

I haven't had any trouble with my case, it would have to be a pretty tight and inflexible case to have any problems. It's quite thin and leaves a small border around the edge.

The case does not seem to collect dust or lint. I have had it for about two months. It fits in my pocket and I can get it out quickly. Hope that helps.

I just run water and a towel or rag and clean the accumulated dust off. I let it air dry and stick it back on (steel case). Won't hurt anything.

I would say yes to shock proof and dust proof. I've dropped mine several times and haven't had a problem. It's 2 cases in 1. Not sure about water resistant haven't had mine near water.

No. Simply move the dust cover to the side. Same goes for the headphone port. Great case. Highly recommended. Provides all around protection. The only thing that's make this case perfect in my opinion would be if it provided protection from water.

I read about that before I purchased mine and though it is possible due the compact camera's fixed lense, if you take really good care of it and try to be cautious I don't see how it can't be avoidable. I purchased a Pelican 1020 micro case and keep it in there, no way any dust can get inside of it.

I use this one, it's not waterproof, the Hydra Series is though :) This is a really nice case, though.

The case is a bit difficult to put on because it fits so tight on phone. I feel that it does a great job keeping the phone dust free. Taking it off would seem to be harder. I will cross that path when I have replace the battery I suppose. I think the buttons work grest. Are you sure the sides have snapped into place as designed?

Yes it does butt it is not dust proof. You need to take it apart & clean it a couple times a year.

I don't know if I quite understand the question but I would say no aseverything is all enclosed. I have not had any problems with dust ordirt getting inside.

It is just an opening and there is no shield to protect the lens. With that said, the case is thick enough for the lens to be protected from breaking, but it is not protected from the dust.

You are correct. There is no dust cover. I store mine in the box it came in when not in use.

Dirt will get in, and dust, adn hair etc. it's a GREAT bumper case, but I jsut now broke mine trying to get phone ut to clean interior of case. Cheap enough to buy another though. The phone is already waterproof, so no need to spend lifeproof money!

I would say the case doesn't get dirty. I have had mine for a month now and it still looks new.
