Dont know why everyone says it is bad
Ive had my case for a few months now and I've been very satisfied with this case. The only reason it go 4 stars was because I cant put an extra screen protector on for fingerprints and what not. Sadly, recently i got into an argument over the phone, that i got so angry i threw the phone and it ended up going through my sheet rock wall. The case broke in half and chunks of it broke off, but it totally protected the phone.

Broke it
Ye the case is great it is wonderful to know the Iphone can fall at any time
But the Access to the screen is limited and the screen protector is annoying after a while and get stuck a lot of time.
And yes, i broke my tank, how? By Accidently sitting on it... So i bought the phantom case
Hope it will be better

I like it
I've had this for about a week now and so far so good. Once it's on the phone, it's pretty difficult to take it off--but, then I know that the phone is secure in the case.

I'd rather buy this than insurance on the phone
It's a bit bulky, which may turn some people off to it. The screen protector is cool and keeps the screen clean while it's in my pockets. Since its so big it can be hard to use the edges of the screen. This isn't that important for most users, but there are some gestures on jailbroken phone that are hard to do. I have larger than avg fingers so it can be hard to turn the vibrate/no vibrate switch bc of how thick the case is. The benefits outweigh the cons for me though. It's overpriced for sure but I know my phone will never break.

THE TANK!
I bought this about 4 months ago and I love it! I originally saw it in Field & Stream, went online and started checking reviews and pictures/youtube. I bought it on the spot. When I got it it did not disappoint it has done everything I ask it to flawlessly. I work construction and am a hunter/fisherman which was part of why I wanted this case. The guys @ work love it the first time I showed them. They call the screen protector the "garage door", always letting me know when its open. And always get a kick out of it when I take and throw it ten feet in the air and let it smash into the ground. Also it's great that the case comes with a pocket clip which is unheard of in this day to not have to purchase it separate.
The only thing I would like to see is something to go in the car to hold it like a suction cup mount or a clip of some sort! ! ! Really Really Want Something

Iphone4S tank case
Very good at protecting the phone. I have dropped my phone multiple times and it has sustained no damage. The only thing I don't like about the case is the button that covers the headphone slot. When I would slide the case in and out of my pocket the button would come out of the slot and eventually the piece holding it on came off so now the button doesn't go down into the headphone slot anymore. Other than that the tank case is an excellent and very protective product.
