We think it's a little bit of both.
Simply put, Survivor All-Terrain is the most protective case we've ever built. Designed and tested to meet or exceed US Department of Defense Standard 810F, Griffin's Survivor All-Terrain Extreme-Duty Case is built from the inside out to protect your phone from extreme conditions ... dirt, sand, rain, shock, vibration and a host of other environmental factors.
Survivor All-Terrain is built on a shatter-resistant polycarbonate frame clad in rugged, shock-absorbing silicone. A built-in screen protector seals your Multi-Touch display from the outside environment, while hinged plugs seal the dock connector, headphone port, hold switch and volume controls. A detachable heavy-duty clip secures your phone to a belt or bag strap.
