Yeah I never once scratched my iphone 5 in the 2 1/2 yrs of ownership in a Tech 21 leather folding stand up case.
I did have a Griffin survivor but no one could hear me due to the cover so am surprised to hear what squaglybob is saying.
I’ll give it a try and see if it does the same as my old iphone 5 griffin did, if so then it’s off for a full refund, although if they’re anything as difficult getting a refund out of them like it is trying to speak to someone there, then that may prove difficult.
I also think I’ll try without the tempered glass at first at least so I can try out the defender for fit, hearing and talking performance.
