At Mobile Reviews Eh! we base everything we do on actual which means our reviews and content take FOREVER to come out. But rest assured, when we publish something, you can be confident that you will know the best and worst parts of the product.
We will be honest with you; we wouldn’t get a tough case unless you need the extreme protection (for example, dropping it from the roof of a house). The iPhone 6(s+) are resilient devices and can take a beating so a slim case should be enough for most people.

For our Griffin Summit Review, we gave this shockproof iPhone case a score of 4 Eh’s out of 5. The Summit the highest rated tough case that we’ve come across.
Sold on this iPhone case? See if Amazon has one for you iPhone!

The best part of the Hardcore is the access it provides for your iPhone. The buttons work, the gap between the screen protector and the iPhone isn’t terribly noticeable, and the outer shell is removable so you can tailor the amount of protection you need.
Based on our time with the case, we gave the Ballistic Hardcore a score of 4 Eh’s out of 5. This case fares much better than the Otterbox Defender and Griffin Survivor. Get it now on Amazon.

The best part of this Crusta is the tempered glass back and the edge-to-edge, Kristal tempered screen protector. These glass elements make it a joy to use your iPhone inside the case. It’s a case that exposes the full beauty of your iPhone without actually sacrificing protection. The thing that annoys us about the case is the TPU bumper. It comes off quite easily and after a week of using this case, it seems to show its wear and tear a little quicker than other cases.
For our Amzer Crusta review, we gave it a score of 3.8’ Eh’s out of 5. We’ve seen several complaints regarding Amzer’s customer service so just be careful. If that’s not a concern for you, see if there’s a color you like on Amazon.

We do have an issue with the screen protector as it diffuses the Retina HD screen of the iPhone 6 and the updated camera cover does something to the quality of the photos.
For our Griffin Survivor All-Terrain review, we give it a score of 3.8 Eh’s out of 5. Get it now on Amazon!

On the Tough Extreme, there is almost no chance this case is going to fall accidentally out of your hand because of its design; it’s a little thinner than other tough cases, but the screen viewability and usability of your iPhone 6 is going to suffer quite a bit in this case.
For our Case-Mate Tough Extreme review, we gave it a score of 3.7 Eh’s out of 5. See if there’s a version on Amazon.

We haven’t officially reviewed the Trident Kraken but we’ve been using it for a while now (almost a year now), and it is a decent tough case. The iPhone sits in a thick polycarbonate shell and is secured by snapping the screen protector into the shell.
The Kraken comes with a belt holster that works, but we did find that taking the Kraken out of the holster would sometimes split the case apart. It’s a mild nuisance but something that’s worth noting.
For our Trident Kraken review, we gave this tough iPhone case a score of 3.7 Eh’s out of 5. Get it now on Amazon.

The only way we’d recommend this case is that if you only had 20 bucks to spend and you wanted something relatively tough to protect your iPhone. With that being said, we’d question your decision-making paradigm in only deciding to spend only $20 to protect your $800+ device but if $20’s all you got, we’d get the Protector.
For our ZeroLemon Protector review, we’ve given this case a score of 3.6 Eh’s out of 5. Think Amazon has it cheaper than $20?

During our testing period for the iPhone 6 Otterbox Defender Review, we discovered a couple of issues with accessing your iPhone inside the case, it bulky but offers decent access to your iPhone when it’s installed in the case. We’ve been told that the newer versions of the case are much better. The Defender does cost more than the average case.
For our Otterbox Defender review, we gave this case a score of 3.4 Eh’s out of 5. Get it now on Amazon!

The Voyager is drop-rated, but Pelican doesn’t give a specific height from which an iPhone can be dropped from.
For our Pelican Voyager review, we gave it a score of 3.4 Eh’s out of 5. Click here to see if Amazon has any in stock!

The Patriot is not a small case but does feel well built. The texture of the case is nice, and it offers great access to all the hardware features of the iPhone except the screen which we’ve found to be as sensitive as somebody who is emotionally dead on the inside on Tuesdays and Thursday.
For our Tech 21 Patriot review, we’ve given the case a score of 3.4 Eh’s out 5. Amazon it!

If you look to protect the screen and the whole iphone 7, which case would you choose griffin extreme or Dog & bone wetsuit impact??
I'd go with the dog & bone case. Slimmer.
