drop proof up to 6 feet or 1.8 meters
Real Usage. Real Reviews. Mobile Reviews - eh.ca
Hi this is Agata from Mobile Reviews - eh.ca
and today I'll be reviewing the Griffin Survivor case
for the iPhone 5 an iPhone 5s but the Griffin survivor case for the iPhone 5
will also fit the iPhone 5S the only feature that is not available through
this case would be the touch ID
because the home button is completely covered to the Griffin Survivor case
comes in three pieces with a case attachment
so I'll talk about the case itself first are it has an inner layer which is the
hard
polycarbonate layer that is drop proof up to 6 feet
or 1.8 meters and there is our
a super combined print that goes over there
layer and then you have a screen protector
that goes on top and clicks to both of those layers together
so the Griffin survivor case meets military standards
and like I said before it can be dropped from six feet or 1.8 meter
so we used our EH? reading score system and we scored this case to be 3.7 Eh? out of
5
the first category is design and this category
scored 3.2 Eh?'s out of 5
in terms of weight and bulk this case doesn't
add a lot of weight are it is still quite light for a ruggedized case
but it does out quite a bit of bulk
so most of the bulk comes from the silicon layer which is
what we call a bumper layer so in terms of installation
are you don't really need instructions to install this case
the first layer where you put your phone is this polycarbonate plastic
then you cover it with the bumper
and then you put the screen protector right on top
so this is quite simple but to
actually installed the case it takes quite a while
and this layer here it has a lot of
these very sharp edges and ridges
for the camera as you can see there's more ridge's I'm the same for the mute
button
and the same from for the mic and speaker on your headphone jack
and which is all fine but when you try to install
this case onto your phone it is quite difficult
in the sense that is kind of tedious work i have a full close up video
of of this case and i also in the close up video I show how to install this case
you can check it out
i will link this video and the description below at the end of this
review
in terms of build quality this Griffin Survivor case is really well built
there we've dropped its are several times and also down the stairs
and there's literally no damage done that in terms of protection we gave the
score a 3.7 Eh?s out of 5
the drop ability on this Griffin Survivor case is great it does need military standard
810 which means the week can drop this from six feet
and we did and we did different are high drops and also
we dropped its or threw it down the stairs so you can see watched a video
and I will post a link to it as well in terms of the environmental protection
this Griffin Survivor case is not waterproof I'm it is
a bit water-resistant and that is up to the bay to what you think water
resistance is
but some all of the ports in here when the lodgers are close
and the Griffin Survivor case is installed properly are covered In terms of
functionality for this Griffin Survivor case be rated it 4
Eh?'s out of 5 it in therms of handling
this case is quite bulky but its of
fits in your hand and it is quite soft because of the silicon but it does out a
lot of bulk
the ports and buttons for the Griffin survivor case
are easily accessed I there's just
few latches that I for the Lightning jack and for the headphone jack
there's also a large for your new bottom
which is easily accessed as you open the latch to access the mute button
and also there's a latch cover the lens
for your camera and the two-tone flash
the home bottom is covered by the silicon that comes in through the front
screen protector piece but it is really easily depressed
and it does not affect this functionality at all
in terms of a screen handling this Griffin Survivor case
a screen protector is a little bit raised on the edges
but you can still access we've tried to access the controls that are
that can be opened by swiping from the bottom or from the top
and we also have tried using the keyboard here and typing using the letters
are closest to the edges
and there wasn't any issues with that terms of view ability
on when you're holding the Griffin Survivor cases it's really it is because
thats a little bit of bulk so it's easy to hold and view at any angle
and there is a little bit of glare that is created by
the screen protector but it's not something that is significantly worse
it does not the fuses the from a screen of your iPhone
and actually this screen protector does not register
fingerprints and cheek prints so much so he doesn't get dirty
that easily so the last score
and the functionality category is case enhancement and
and the case and has been for this Griffin survivor case
is actually a belt clip and it is quite slim
belt clip and it is a useful feature
not the only need to actually carry your
your case and you know in the side of the belt
but this also doubles as a stand
to use this belt clip as a stand
you have to pull the clip the apart
until it clicks on the top here and then you can twist it
and its you can stand your iPhone in this Griffin Survivor case
in a portrait If you have any questions about this case
