Does a silicone case prevent scratches on iphones?

So far my iphone has a small minor scrath on the back. I never dropped it or put it in my pocket with like keys or anything. I ordered a case with a silicone inside and hard outter side. Would this prevent the scratches? I'm not going to have a screen protector on the back but will have one on the front.

It will PARTIALLY protect it from scratches yes, but if some sand gets between the case and the phone, it still can get scratched.

If you want to 100% fully protect your iPhone Id go with the life proof case. It may cost 80 bucks but its will fully protect the phone.

  • Will a silicone iPhone 4/4S case fit an iPod Touch 4? I really want this case, but its for an iPhone 4/4S. Have you tried an iPhone 4/4S case on an iPod Touch 4, and did it work? Here's the case: http://www.amazon.com/...00A9Q4JKM/ It's really cheap, but I still want to know if it will work. Even if it will be a bit loose, I'll get it, but I want to make sure all of the plugs like the headphone jack are in the same place.
  • Will a iPhone 5 Silicone Case fit for an iPhone 5C? Okay so I have the iPhone 5C and I recently bought a iPhone 5 soft silicone case online but, I didn't mean to buy the 5, I meant to get the 5C case except I read the text wrong. Here's a picture of the case I bought on accident: I know iPhone 5C has a more round design but do you still think it'll fit? And for the hole where you get the charge in and stuff on the bottom will that fit with an iPhone 5 case if I have a 5C?
  • Which protects the iphone better Silicone or Hard Case cover? For example if I dropped it would the force be transferred to the phone more readily when using a hard cover?
  • Which is better: a silicone or a plastic iPhone case? Yesterday, I got an iPhone 5s and am currently using a basic plastic case until I can order a new one tomorrow. The one I plan to get is a Rilakkuma case, but there are of course two choices: plastic or silicone. Which one seems to offer the best protection? Given I dropped my iPod Touch a lot, I know I'm going to need a good case so I don't break my new phone. So… Silicone or plastic cases?
