Prediction: Unlikely to succeed
While I applaud the creativity that went into the magic demo for this spot (dropping a phone from a helicopter is a cool idea), I think this campaign will struggle for two reasons. One, they have narrowed the market to iPhones only. That's a segment of a segment -- albeit a large segment of a segment. Two, the marketplace is so crowded with iPhone cases of every kind, it will be hard to convince people that this is the one case they need.
There is also a demographics issue here -- iPhones are favored by the young, DR appeals to the old(er) -- but that is becoming less of an issue these days.
