Griffin 605255-SFFP Survivor Case for iPhone 5/5S - 1 Pack - Retail Packaging - Fluro Fire Pink

Update on previously published review:After a couple of months with this case, I have some additional nits to pick: 1) The silicone is STILL hard to dislodge, so when I really really want to take a picture or movie, I have more than once missed the moment because I could not uncover the camera lens. Major drawback, especially compared to Lifeproof's optically-correct cover instead (I had not heard of them until recently; top-end price, nice features). 2) The back of the case does not lie flat any more. One of the silicone flaps is a bit over-sized, creating not only an unseemly ripple but a potential means of ingress for water, dust, and other undesirables. 3) The case is bulky and easily dislodged from a belt. Good thing it is so shockproof, because I've bounced it off pavement from belt-height more than a few times. I must say, the phone is fine, but if it hadn't been so large and prone to grab things, the case might have had to work a little less.Original review from here on out:I previously owned this case model for my iPhone 3GS, and when the little silicone flap that covers the camera lens came off going through airport security, Griffin sent me an entirely new case, though that loss was not under warranty. However, the 3GS case was a bit bulky and made some of the phone (especially the camera lens) hard to access because of the tight fit and slippery feel of the silicone.With this iPhone 5 version, Griffin has made some strong improvements to the case. It is more rectangular, the silicone is less slippery, and the shape is easier to hang onto. My only complaint with the new version is that the clips that hold the phone to the belt clip get hung up when you are trying to take the phone off your belt. The 3GS version was quick and easy to unclip, and I miss that. I have to take a little extra time getting the phone in my hand. It may wear in a bit and improve; I've only had this case a few days now.The clear screen protector is quite resistant to scratching and provides no barrier to the touch controls. The speakers are quite audible even through the heavy duty protection, and the look and feel of the case is sturdy, durable protection. One caveat: since the protection level of this case is so high, it takes some time and practice to remove and reinsert your phone. The screen protector unclips in six places, and then you have to peel off the silicone layer before you can pry off the hard plastic skeleton underneath.However, since I wear my phone on my belt for all kinds of activities, including wood-splitting, motorcycling, and hiking in rough country, the case has been worth every penny and every slight annoyance. It saved my 3GS several times from wetness and impacts, and I feel much better about carrying my new iPhone 5 around now that my case has arrived. If you are in the market for this kind of case, I recommend Griffin's highly.

I have purchased Griffin cases for all of my apple products. I love them. I have had one for my iphone 5 for the past 4 months. I love my smart phone...possibly to an unhealthy extent...and I want to keep it safe.Cons:1. It made my slim, sexy, little iphone 5 into a monster. Seriously...it like tripled the size. It went from sleek iphone 5, to cartoonishly silly, pink, monster phone. I like pink, and I like cartoons. *shrug* But, I'm saying...if you're say...a professional, wearing a power suit...you might feel a little silly whipping this sucker out.2. Having to open the little flap to take a picture, is kind of a pain at first...especially when you want to capture that funny kid moment. I got used to it. *shrug*3. The cartoonish size, and the non-slidy rubber, make it hard to fit into designated "phone pockets" in purses. Since I usually use the outside zipper pocket to keep it quickly accessibly for when the school nurse calls (boys...sheesh)...it hasn't been a big deal for me.4. It lowers the sensitivity of buttons a little bit...especially in the corners. It bugs my husband, but not me. Who cares...it's MY phone. *grin*5. The clippy thing...if it was on...it would double again the size of the phone. I don't use it. Guys might...but, I have a purse.Pros:1. Otterbox makes a similar product (my sister has it), but it has hard plastic on the outside. The rubber on this one, makes it so it wont slide when I set it down...on the passenger seat in the car, on the center console, on my knee, etc. Anytime I am waiting for Soccer practice to be over.2. While talking on the phone, I tripped over a stool my kids left out, and my phone flew across my garage and hit the cement...hard. It was like a slow motion sit com moment..."Noooooo!"...The call was still in progress when I picked it up. *jaw drop* Griffin...FTW!3. It's giant and pink...easy to find in my purse...easy to find anywhere. Very distinctive.4. I have a black one on an iphone touch...I'm forever losing it in the depths of my purse...but, the black looks pretty badass. Like..."yeah, I need this case on my ipod touch, for when I'm parachuting into foreign countries as a secret agent." I dig it.5. When the screen gets all mucked up from my kids sneezing boogers on it, or smearing peanut butter on it...I love that it's not the "real" screen, and I can just get a damp rag, and clean it up. Also when the screen gets all scratched up (which it will, I am the mother of 4 kids), I can just replace the case, and my precious iphone will remain pristine!All in all...I love this product. I WILL be buying it again. Maybe I will go with Orange next? Or...green?

This is my second Griffin case of same model. The first one is still good after 5 years of use. My Iphone 5 still looks new after 5 years.

Love this.

Second one I have had! Works great , strong, and very functional!

This is the second Survivor Case I've bought...my first was for a smaller iphone. I am one of the few people my age (18) who hasn't had a cracked screen or a broken phone in 3 years of use. The survivor case is strong and flexible and gives complete coverage to the whole phone. When I upgraded to a longer phone the salesperson at the store tried to sell me on a so-called shock absorbent case, but there was only one case I wanted to get. It arrived quickly and in good shape. Plan on keeping this one all through university.

Arrived very fast and is very good quality!
