Protection – They say its 12 ft drop-tested on the box. Nowhere else, though…

When it comes to protection, the biggest selling point of the Incipio Reprieve Sport for the iPhone 7 was the extra drop protection it offered your iPhone 7. However, as we ramped up for the video review, we noticed that Incipio doesn’t mention the 12 ft drop protection on their website. Instead, they reference that the case provides Mil-Std 810G drop-protection and from our experience, that’s a minimum of 4ft or 1.2m which is a far cry from 12 ft.

We inquired about this discrepancy between the packaging and website, and our questions were left unanswered on Facebook, Twitter and through their email support. As a consumer who spent over $200 dollars buying Incipio products for the iPhone 7, this is unacceptable.

We’re confident that the case will provide enough protection for the occasional drop without any issues, but we’re not going to risk our $1000 iPhone 7 on a company who can’t stand behind the marketing fluff.

Functionality – Helps with the handling of your iPhone

We didn’t have any issues with the handling of the iPhone in the Incipio Reprieve Sport. The buttons are easy to use, and the mute switch is accessible easily through the cutout. We didn’t come across any issues with screen access.

As we mentioned earlier, the big corners and grippy sides help the handling of the iPhone in the case.

What did she say about the Incipio Reprieve Sport?

(This is our attempt at seeing things from a female perspective):

• “Oooo, there is a yellow, blue, organ and pink”
• “Only the bumpers are thicker”
• “It’s clear”
• “Fun colors”
