Does one also need a case for protection if dropped, for the phone in general?

Yes. Silicone cases are the best, in my opinion. I don't like the hard plastic cases because they tend to pop off when the phone is dropped. I have dropped my phone several times and it has been unharmed with the silicone case.

If you want one, yes. This is just a screen protector, not a phone protector. I don't have one personally, but I know many feel safer with a case for the phone.

Always get a case, unless you don't mind replacing the phone. A screen shield and case will keep your phone in the best condition possible, and the new larger screens are more likely to break or get hit so I always use both.

Yes, this is a screen and scratch protection ONLY! It will do virtually nothing for drop protection. A silicone or soft rubber case will assist greatly as hard cases don't absorb impact as well. This is a great screen protector when paired with a good case. I prefer it over the Otterbox system.

I would say yes. This screen protector will protect the front of the phone from scratches but that's about it. You will need a case to absorb any type of "impact" from a drop. Silicone soft vases work the best for absorbing the shock.

Maybe... I would recommend a simple thin, rubber case. The 928's glass is flush across the face, which is really nice; however, if one of these edges were to hit during a fall it might not survive as well as the 920 which has the polycarbonate that wraps to the face of the phone. The 928, like the 920 is a strong durable phone, but freak accidents can happen. (Just like the screen shouldn't in theory need the MilitaryShield as it can survive scratch tests without a flaw, but it is better to be safe, especially with an invisible extra layer of protection that can be easily replaced.)

Yes, totally! There is a clear plastic screen protector built into the front of the case. No need for any other protection for this device if you are using this case.

There is a gel case that surrounds the phone and protects it from the drops. 5 or 6 bucks. well worth the money.

i have not had either of those cases. But I have dropped my phone with this case and have not had any problems.

Not at all. This item looks nice, but will not protect your phone if you were to drop it.

Yeah but not enough to really protect it much. I love the case but if you put your phone down screen first a lot, not the right one for you.

I don't think the phone has had any major drops with this case. The main purpose of the case is to protect the phone from scratches. However it will protect it from drops onto rough surfaces. I have a similar cover and my phone still looks new even though it has seen some bumps.

i cannot help directly answer your question - except to say i do not use a case - is it necessary? product looks too great to cover - lol - and performs perfectly!

It will prevent the screen from getting scratches. It will not interfere with the functionality of the phone. It doesn't do anything to prevent physical damage to the phone caused by a drop. You would need to purchase a protective case to provide that functionality.

This is not a case for protection, it's mostly for show. I'd get an otterbox if you're looking for that kind of protection.

you do not need one . the lens is hard to damage . this phone does actually need any protection , more likely a grippy cover. Look at the destruction test on youtube

There is no actual protection over the screen so you will need a screen protector however the sides of the case come above the sides of the phone so the screen itself will rarely hit anything.

There isn't anything in particular. It is a great case, I loved it. It brought out the best in the phone. But, if you are prone to dropping your phone it is not great for that.

No need, it will break off with just a tiny bit of pressure. There are two main components to this item, the phone case which consists of a plastic enclosure and a rubber pad, and the second piece is the cradle with the attached belt clip, which is all plastic and pretty weak.

I agree with both of the previous answers however I would like to add that the case is very well made and the phone is well protected so I am not sure you would need anything else.

With a screen protector the phone will be fine with this case. I drop mine constantly and it's undamaged. This phone is already pretty durable to boot.

No but it protects the phone pretty well. The front of the phone is basically deep inside the sides of the cover, if it were to fall face down, the thick sides of the cover keep the face of the phone off the surface/floor.
