General Protection | General Protection (2/5): – Element doesn’t explicitly state how high you can drop the Ion though it is rated to Mil-STD 810G 516.6 – We feel comfortable dropping our iPhone in the case from ~ 4 ft – iPhone in the Ion is more exposed than other cases – Small lip extends a couple of mm’s past the iPhone’s touchscreen – No screen protector included |
