problem fix,
The Griffin case is an exceptionally good piece of kit with one drawback. Anyone who owns one of these will no doubt regale you with stories of pocket dialling all and sundry whenever there is pressure against the case. This happens because the voice control cannot be deactivated in settings on the iphone 4. A quick fix for this is simply to turn the case inside out and use a Stanley knife to remove the protruding rubber nipple. This means that you actually have to apply pressure to the button in order to use voice control or unlock the device.
Doing this has made the case near perfect, if only it were submersible.
hope this helps all.
Jist.
BTW If anybody knows of a way of turning of voice control on the iphone 4 please write something about it.

|A life saver,
Well, what can I say? The case has saved my life (from my wife) – more later.
When the product arrived (quickly and well packaged) I put it on the phone – simple as pie, back on, front on, snap it together, slide iPhone into rubber casing (bottom first) and stretch over the edges – 2 mins max
The hole covers fit nice and snug, the camera cover rotates back and clips into a recess (saves using 2 hands for photo’s as other reviews mention – although yet to be proven out and about). Yes, it is a bit chunky, but boy does the phone feel safe.
So, I ventured out with my shiny new iphone in it’s rubber brick, walking the dog who decided to jump in the river, knocking me off balance. I tumbled down the riverbank and landed in 2 feet of water. Quickly reaching into my pocket, I fished out the iPhone in it’s Survivor case and threw it back up the riverbank to my wife, who promptly dropped it. When I eventually joined her on the path, there wasn’t a mark on the phone, no water damage (it wasn’t submerged but got splashed) – my wife looked ready to kill me but instead said “That’s why you need a proper case”.
So, thanks Griffin for making the Survivor – my iPhone and I survived! Friends have commented that it’s not as big as they thought it would be and a couple have said they’ll get the case too.
I think another reviewer mentioned that he keeps mis-typing – I do as well but am getting used to it now – some of the functions at the edge of the screen are more difficult due to the raised protection of the Survivor, but I absolutely have to award 5 stars to this great case. There’s even a 7 minute video on You Tube where they throw it at walls, bowl it across a concrete car park etc – it is pretty much indestructible.

|Good case but has a major flaw!,
Bought this case after seeing good reviews in the media about how well it protected the iphone, which it does. However it has one major flaw – the ‘home’ button sticks out too far so when the phone is in my pocket it is constantly activating voice control – this had lead to numerous calls being made without me realising. I know the case comes with a belt clip but it’s not always safe for me to use it so it looks like I’ll have to try to disable the voice control on my phone
