Does it protect the upper back? It looks like a good deal of the back is still unprotected. Thanks.

It protects the parts of the back exposed by high inside pitches. Upper ribcage is fully protected, middle of the back is unprotected.

Not quite sure what upper back meant.. But there's 2 pieces of back protector .. It's bellow the shoulder blade above the waist ... My son wear it for baseball (pitcher) so back protector is bonus for us. Hope it help

Why do you need to protect the back? A batted ball to the sternum is what this is designed to protect. There are two kidney shields that help when head sliding into a base (pick off attempts) or when turning your face away from a pitch. Other than that I wouldn't understand the need for extra protection of the back.

I suppose it offers some protection but it does not fully enclose the mattress like a zippered mattress would, so my guess is protection is limited.

It's just the back & sides. Surprisingly protective for how thin & lightweight it is though

There are pics online. Its the upper back. It works. I was wearing it yesterday it was 2 F with a 15 to 20 mph wind and I was OK. Not happy but OK.

I haven't had to use it much except on my leg, but I'd say the shape of it doesn't lend itself well to upper back. You might use it on back of neck or across a shoulder but not across a large expanse of back. There would be no way to hold it in place as the Velcro fastener wouldn't work.

Mmm, not really protection. It's kept it from getting dirty from spills and other things though. The flap protrudes a bit, stops being as firm, but it's not worn, it's not in an obvious angle (maybe a few centimeters away from being totally flat). I find that laying the tab on the flap's side overnight keeps it flat.

The case provides some protection when closed. When open it protects the back only, I also had to install a screen protector. As long as it is closed it will be protected. I am happy with mine.

This cover completely covers the back of the phone. If I had my back plate off, it would still offer protection. (I just took it off to see what it would do.) It has 2 different layers. One is rubbery and the other one is a hard plastic. It offers great protection. I have dropped my phone several times and nothing happened.

Of course the case is not meant for protection but it does offer some. The sides and back of course, but I'm bot sure how much it could help if dropped in the front screen.

The back is protected as well. It is a plastic case for the back and a bumper for the sides and front. Very well made.

Yes it does for the regular back, and yes there is bulging caused by it. Not enough to bother me though

I doubt it would protect it unless it happened to land right on it's back. It is fairly slippery as well so the danger is there more than with other cases I have.

It probably offers little to no protection, but for its price... Its a good bargain for a decorative headwear (it also blocks wind pretty well.)

If what you are asking is will it protect you from getting paint all over your clothes, the answer is no. What you see in the picture is actually the back of the body armour. The front is mostly mesh with a couple of "plates" covering the chest. It zips up the front. It's cheap and not very protective in my opinion.

No, as you can see in the picture there is a strap across the back. It covers about 80% of the head.

There isn't anything that protects the screen while you are using it. The overall protection for the sides and back is great, and when you snap on the cover, it's quite well protected, but you need to take the cover off to play, and then your screen is unprotected. I was concerned about this when I bought it, but I've not had any issues so far.

It covers the lower abs but not the upper. Plus I have been doing it 3 to 4 times a week for almost 3 months now and I'm just starting to notice a slight difference; so that is takes 8 times for you to see a big difference is bull. I tried to return it but they refused me.
