Griffin Survivor All-Terrain Case for Apple iPhone 6 Plus Review

And finally, we get to Griffin’s most durable and rigorously tested case that’s meant to protect the iPhone 6 Plus from head-to-toe! After checking out several rugged style cases from its lineup, we’re ending things with the Griffin Survivor All-Terrain Case. If you’re more demanding when it comes to the protective elements of a case, you might be surprised what this one has to offer, since it’s constructed to safeguard the phone from all sorts of destruction.

What a beast! This case isn’t afraid to show off its girth and hefty size, seeing that the Survivor All-Terrain case has been made to meet or exceed MIL-STD 810G for extreme conditions. With its gargantuan size, it’s able to protect the iPhone 6 Plus from drops, dust, sand, rain, impacts, vibrations, and a handful of various environmental factors. So, how is this all achieved you ask? Interestingly enough, it’s achieved thanks to its 4 layers of protection.

Naturally, its beefy size is due to the assortment of layers it’s sporting. First and foremost, there’s the foam-lined shatter-resistant polycarbonate frame that’s covered by its outer rugged, shock-absorbing material. Drops won’t cause any sort of damage to the phone, mainly because the thick silicone outer shell allows it to just bounce to a stop when it’s dropped. In further strengthening its package, the Griffin Survivor All-Terrain features a built-in screen protector that not only protects the screen, but there’s a thin film over the Touch ID button to allow its continued use.

Sure, the design is more tank-like than anything else, but it’s available in four different colors. It’s certainly not afraid to make itself known either because of its goliath size, so it doesn’t come off too stylish or attractive. Needless to say, style isn’t high on the totem pole with this case, as it’s all about protecting the iPhone 6 Plus. Priced at $59.99, it’s clearly within Otterbox territory, but it’s actually less than the Defender Series case. For the price, some folks might overlook its immense size, since they gain a sturdy protective quality with the case.

Griffin Survivor Slim Case for Apple iPhone 6 Plus Review

Looking for an Otterbox alternative for your iPhone 6 Plus, but without the added bulk that accompanies Otterbox’s cases? Well, you should look for further than the Griffin Survivor Slim Case, which seems to deliver the drop protection that owners crave in the event they drop the premium-made smartphone. However, unlike Otterbox’s line of rugged cases, this one manages to minimize the amount of heft added to the iPhone 6 Plus.

Employing a dual-layer design, one that consists of an inner rigid polycarbonate shell and an outer silicone jacket, the combination is designed and tested to meet MIL-STD 801G for drop protection. Thankfully, we can attest that its drop protection is solid, as the silicone material absorbs shocks – thus, allowing it to simply bounce a little in the event it’s dropped. There’s a fair amount of lip around the display made by the case, but there’s no worrying about it scratching because the packaging comes included with a screen protector. As for the camera lens around the rear of the iPhone 6 Plus, which sticks out, it becomes recessed due to the case due to the lip created by the case.

On one hand, it’s not quite as bulky in size as some other comparable cases, but the silicone jacket that covers the entire thing just doesn’t cut it in the style department. Indeed, it safely protects the iPhone 6 Plus from some cringe worthy accidental drops, but we wouldn’t necessarily say that it’s the most attractive looking case. Quite frankly, even though it doesn’t really look too generic, or similar to the rugged styling we see from Otterbox’s portfolio, it would’ve been nice to see some sort of edgier appearance with the Griffin Survivor Slim Case.

Interestingly enough, the Griffin Survivor Slim Case for the iPhone 6 Plus comes close to the pricing we see from Otterbox. Its $44.99 pricing online isn’t cheap, but we imagine that it’s something that’s well within the scope of a ruggedized case. Honestly, though, it’s a toss-up on whether you should invest in this or an Otterbox – just because it’s not the most flattering looking thing. Then again, neither are the high-end Otterbox cases.
