The Speck Presidio Grip case gives you a strong hold so your chances of dropping your iPhone are reduced. If you do drop your phone, military-grade drop test protection ensures it will stay protected within the durable case. Raised rubber ridges on the case will ensure you have a firm grip while you're texting, gaming or taking photos. The case is slightly raised at the front too, so that if you drop or place your phone face-down, the screen will not be damaged. The combination of hard and soft layers offers incredible protection; the soft layers absorbing shocks and cushioning the phone and the hard layers resisting impacts and giving the case a tough exterior. Buttons are protected by rubberised covers to keep out dust and dirt.
