I was near to dropping my iPhone 8 on many occasions due to the slippery nature of the curved edges. This cover solves the problem due the the firm rubber feel which provides a good secure feel, so I’m very happy with it.
The cover is a good fit and provides protection of the ‘silent’ switch from accidental operation.
I cannot comment on how much protection is provided in the event of dropping into a hard surface as I haven’t experienced that.
