We have a case showcase
here at Mashbuttons and this load of iPhone 6 cases has come to use from
Griffin. Four cases were provided to us, each unique and providing different
features to the high priced mobile device. The Survivor Core is a case that
protects the device from small drops, The Reveal case which is slim and shows
off the phone's stunning good looks while providing extra protection to the
edges, Identity is a case the is minimal while still providing protection
without extra bulk, and lastly we have the Survivor Slim which is a dual layer
case built to meet MIL-STD 801G standards for drop protection. Now it is
time to see how the cases stack up.
I have arranged my
impressions on level of protection in which each of the cases provides, with
that being said, I will begin with the Reveal. I like the case how basic and
how slim it is and yet strong enough to withstand a three-foot drop. The Reveal
also does just that, reveals the iPhone 6's sleek new design through a clear
hard shell, while a black bumper surrounds the sides. While I am more of a fan
of the harder materials as they are easy to clean, with the Reveal, Griffin
decided to go with rubber feel that is tough to keep clean in a dusty
environments.
Next up, we have the Identity,
which is another pretty basic case with a twist. This is a dual layer case,
which includes a bumper and a back plate, topped with being built to withstand
up to a four-foot drop. The twist is that the case is designed to support
Griffin's numerous back plates, which vary in design and functionality. Much
like the name implies the varying back plates allow for changing a phone's
identity. The dual material case feels a lot more solid than the Reveal, but
the clear back plate is just as easy to scratch over time. 
Now for the more
durable of the cases, the Survivor Series, and I will begin with the
Survivor Core. This case is rather basic, similar to the Reveal but its build
design makes the phone easier to hold and providing greater drop protection at
up to 6.6 feet or 2 meters. This increased protection comes from the
shatter resistance polycarbonate back and TPE rubber surrounds the phone with
raised corners to help absorb the impact when dropped. This is a
minimalist case for the clumsy and is great because the Core still provides a
slim design to go with the peace of mind when the inevitable hits and the
iPhone plummets to the ground.
Finally and
my favorite of the bundle is the Survivor Slim, and like the Core, it also
provides drop protection up to 6.6 feet, but this bad boy was built to exceed
MIL-STD 801G by making a dual layer case. While adding more protection, the
case is remarkably slim, and as you can tell from the pictures Griffin opted to
make the case wider as opposed to the common thicker cases and this was much preferred. To
also help with the grip, a silicon jacket is used to wrap around the hard polycarbonate
shell. While there was added bulk to my pocket, the slim design felt
natural and not too bulky, but the biggest plus side, was that the case was
more comfortable to hold during extended use while reading or playing
games.
