Protection – Enough for small day-to-day mishaps
For protection, this is one of the toughest slim cases that we’ve reviewed as its drop rated, has multiple layers, comes with a screen protector, has decent edge for screen protection and no unnecessary cutouts. With that being said, we will say that dust and debris may get to your iPhone because of the fit issue mentioned in the section above so if you do get this case, consider cleaning it periodically.
As a side note, this isn’t the toughest of the Griffin cases as the Slim and Core can be both dropped from 6.6ft or 2m whereas the Identity is rated to 4ft or 1.2m so don’t go throwing your iPhone over your head in this case!

Functionality – Better than the Griffin Survivor Core
In terms of accessing your iPhone inside the case, we didn’t have any issues. The buttons are so easy to use especially when compared to the Griffin Survivor Core, the cutouts at the bottom of the case are large enough to handle a variety of different sized cords and the Touch ID cutout, though a little high, doesn’t get in the way of the sensor. There are also no camera or sound issues.
The screen protector is quite nice though having it jut out every so slightly makes dislike it quite a bit. The screen protector is sticky so it eliminates any sort of gap between the screen protector and the iPhone which is nice. Hopefully they decide to do the same thing with their next iteration of the the Griffin Survivor All-Terrain. Glare isn’t an issue or extra reflections and most importantly, no diffusion of the iPhone’s wonderful Retina HD screen.

Aaron, just out of curiosity, when you say “we” in some of your videos, are you just being humble, or are there actually more than one person who runs this site? In some of your videos from the Jurassic period, I see another reviewer here and there, but I haven’t seen that in any more recent videos. Just curious…. Thanks.

When I say “we”, I’m referring to the Mobile Reviews Eh! brand. In the written reviews, I use “we” and in the videos I use “I”.
There was another reviewer a couple of years ago but that was when Mobile Reviews Eh!, was a side project of my consulting firm. Shit hit the fan over a year ago and I decided to shut down the consulting portion of the company and focus on this full time since I found it more enjoyable.

Aaron, does this case fit the iPhone 6s Plus?
