i-Blason Ares Case for iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro 6.1 Inch (2020 Release), Dual Layer Rugged Clear Bumper Case with Built-in Screen Protector (Black)

I just keep buying this case each time my wears out, and each time I get a new phone. My whole household uses I-blason, they are very durable and not bulky.

I've been using this case for about a year, just never got around to writing a review for it. Best case I've ever used for an iPhone in this price range. Both the front and back of the phone are protected. It offers some protection if you drop your phone from a normal distance like holding it in your hand and it slips and hits the floor. I wouldn't take it to the top of a building and let it fall..lol I've seen a couple of reviews complaining that the case would not handle a 20ft drop. To be honest, if you're going to be in a situation where your phone could possibly drop 20 ft, you should take more responsibility and not depend on an 18 dollar case to save your phone. You need to spend more money on a case if you're that irresponsible with your thousand dollar phone. This is a great case for normal, every day use. Also, the case is not difficult to remove if you know what you're doing. I've removed the phone from the case several times for regular cleaning. With the front of the phone facing you, pull down on the left corner of the back of the case. It will pop apart allowing you to safely remove the phone. There are plenty of videos on YT that show you how to remove any case, the same rule applies to just about every standard case on the market. And, the more you remove it for cleaning the protective front screen, it will get easier every time to separate the two pieces. Some people don't even do this extra step for cleaning their screen. It's not necessary but I just prefer cleaning it this way.

Fits beautifully, it’s a two-piece cover which has an integral screen protector. Looks good and protects well.

I had this case for about 2.5 years and it did OK (it was certainly better than measly slip case my phone had). It had good grip, simple design, and several color options. It was functional but it is not waterproof (it's not supposed to be waterproof). The frame felt weak and finally broke while cleaning it one day. I went with a Pelican brand case instead, much more durable for forestry. It's good case if you don't need something for a more demanding environment.

My son love this case

For me, built-in screen protector is a deal breaker. This case completely covers the phone. Light, no bulk, fits in pocket. Previous “heavy duty military” metal interfered w/reception.This rubber case at 1/2 the price-weight-bulk offers all the same. Touch screen works great & camera has a raised edge to help protect it. (I always have an extra screen protector over cams on the back). My previous (heavy) duty military grade w/built in cover looked hard core and still cracked. No cover is fool proof. So far, this cover is better than expected. All depends on how it lands when dropped. H2O proof? Haven’t had water events yet but since it won’t swim back to you…I imagine it depends how fast you retrieve it. Prob buy a diff color when it goes on sale. Thumbs up.

Other cases I've used have a rubber case that is only on the back and sides. You have to put a clear film on the screen to protect it. The i-Blason case has a clear protective plastic on the back with the strong bumpers on the sides. It also has a second case for the front that fits into the back part of the case that looks like it will protect the screen better than a thin film. I thought it was too thick and would interfere with the touch screen but I see no difference with or without the front case in being able to access all functions of the touch screen. So I am very happy with the case and I love the color, purple, too.

Came quick and the case is nice, it clicks in safely too and just feels good honestly pretty happy and feels just like my old otterbox case
