Good with minor catches,
First of all, not every case is going to be perfect. And if you’re in the military part time and in construction full time like I am, there’s no such thing as the perfect solution. I’m happy with my case and it does what I want it to do which is to reduce risk of breaking my new iPhone 4s.
Pros:
1. Full function of all buttons
2. Great screen response for navigation (even with a screen protector on phone itself)
3. Excellent design by incorporating full inner hardshell with protective screen and outer rubber impact bumper to create a dust/water resistant seal (NOT WATER PROOF!).
4. No noticable reduction in volume during calls
5. Excellent snug fit
Cons:
1. Bulky, especially with the corner bumpers and side mid bumpers.
2. Clip holster seems sturdy, but I don’t like just two contact hook-like points in the top/bottom to hold it in place (I use a 5.11 Strobe/GPS Pouch and that works for me).
3. Rubber door to back lense can be a little awkward to handle if you want to take pictures.
4. Rubber pull back tabs that allow access to phone ports can be easily ripped off so be careful.
5. Recessed screen can make texting awkward for large fingers, especially at the outer edge of the keyboards.
Overall, I am satisfied and would recommend this product to other military buddies if they are not happy with the Otterbox brands.

|Tough to type on,
If you type a lot, this can be tough. Especially the letters and buttons close to the screen protector. The natural angle of thumbs when typing and texting is more horizontal. This screen protector makes it so you have to go verticle to reach some buttons. I compared this to my sister’s Otterbox cover for her iPhone and the Otterbox’s interior plastic casing has more of a taper down to the screen and it is much easier to type on. I now realize I didn’t need the Rolls Royce of protection offered by the Griffin…I could have made due with the Cadillac protection offered by the Otterbox. With the Griffin you seem to give up some of the functionality in exchange for protection. I should have been more honest with myself regarding the level of protection I truly needed. I’m just a business man after all….I didn’t need the “blue collar” protection this case offers for my “white collar” life. All of the buttons work great while in the case. I dislike the cover for the rear camera…it doesn’t have the nice toggled hinge thing like my iPad’s Griffin has.
