GRIFFIN SURVIVOR FOR IPOD TOUCH 4G REVIEW
Positive: Very protective. Includes belt clip. Looks nice.
Negative: Flaps may rip off due to careless use.
Bottom Line: My favorite iPod case. Protects against dust, scratches, drops, vibration, and light rain.
Full Review: This is my favorite case. It is very protective. It will protect against all the elements except water. It is water resistant not water proof. This means it will NOT protect against being submerged. So do not go swimming with this case. It does protect against light rain though. I had this case in my pocket at a park once. While I was there it started to down pour. I was completely soaked and so was my phone, but this case helped protect against the rain. As for drop protection goes. It can take drops up to 6 feet. It has a rigid polycarbonate plastic layer which encases the iPod, then it has a silicone wrapper that wraps around the outside. Inside of the polycarbonate layer there is two foam pads on the back. This will help protect the iPod. The case is thick. Not near as thick as the "Nerf Armor" case though (See the review for that). There are flaps that cover the camera, dock connector, and the headphone jack. This will help keep out dust. The camera may be a problem for people who take a lot of pictures, but it can be ripped off. It is also wise to be careful while opening the flaps as careless use can rip them off. My case still has all the flaps on there after 6-7 months. This case includes a belt clip which is not the best. But I do not use it. The buttons are easily accessible. The screen protector is not the best. But for me there is no air gap so no sensitivity is reduced. The screen protector has a few scratches. But barely noticeable. This case can stand a few drops. If it falls, there is barely a sound because of how well this case works. On the front the screen in protected by a plastic edge, not only that but also some of the silicone goes over that for face down drop protection. However as with any case, it may not protect against every drop. It is possibly the most protective case for the iPod. But be warned no case can protect an iPod 100%. Overall, this case is great and fits all of my needs so it gets five stars.
