If it drops flat on the iphone 5s screen will it protect it?

If you drop it on a smooth flat surface then absolutely! However, if it's any other kind of surface your phone's front screen will get damaged. I own this case and it's wonderful with the exception of that one flaw in its design.

No - I had been using mophie for years. Tried this one as cheaper. The mophie is better but neither is 4 stars

I never dropped it but the case doesnt look like it would protect it. When i got the case it didnt work from the beginning so i never had the chance to drop it but its not really a case for protection

It will not protect it 100 percent but it will not drop flat on the screen since the cover is raised around the edges a bit

It protects very well against drops, but nothing will protect the screen against CRUSH. I stepped on mine and the actual phone screen broke, but the screen protector stayed intact and kept the pieces together so I didn't cut my fingers.

well luckily I haven't dropped mine yet but I am accident prone too :) It seems like it would protect it pretty well but I'm not sure how well it would do if it fell face down. (The edge does stick up a little so its higher than the screen)

Although the screen is open , if we're to drop you phone it will protect the because the case protects the edges. Trust me no worries.

I Recently dropped mine while exiting my car (It was on my lap). It fell about 4 feet onto the road. Through these same circumstances I have lost 3 screens (iPhone 5). But, all it did is scuff up a corner of the Outer ring but no real damage.

Yes and no. It has a lip on it to help to try to prevent a shattering screen, but it all depends on how the phone is dropped. The screen is exposed.

I think I know what you are asking.There is a rubberized lip that goes around the face of the screen; so if you drop it on a flat surface I think the screen would be protected. However, if you drop it on large rocks, something that protrudes there would be no guarantee. Get a filmed screen protector to prevent scratches. Learned from experience on a Sony Cybershot. Had a hard fall and scratched the screen. I am glad I bought this product. I put it on the arm of my couch and it doesn't slip.

...and it will also prevent phone from sliding on flat surface, when phone is screen up.

This case has about 2 or 3 milimeters raised in the front, and it is made out of a hard rubber. If it falls with the screen down, as long as it falls on flat surface it will be OK. The back and sides are well protected. I would advise you to buy a screen protector, they can always be removed and changed if they get damaged.

No screen protector will prevent breaks, and be skeptical of any screen protector that advertises that it does. All glass screens will shatter if the force of impact is not spread over a wide enough area to disperse it - for example, a dropped phone landing on its side or a corner. The best way to protect your screen from shattering is with a good bumper case that can absorb the impact if your phone is dropped. A screen protector will prevent your screen from getting scratched and scuffed, and this one serves that function as adequately as any other.

I don't have an iphone 5s but I'm guessing it would since the only difference from the regular iphone 5 and the iphone 5s is that it's plastic. Hopefully that helps.

I have dropped mine a few times so far so good! the case is raised about the screen so it does protect it!

The protective edge is thick enough to keep the phone in place and won't let it come in contact with the ground. In my experiences if it hits basically a flat surface there is no contact.

No, it does not. However, the case is raised on all sides of the screen side so IF the phone fell straight down..the edges would stop it from damaging the screen.

No but the sides are elevated to protect the screen after a fall on a flat surface.

Yes it will protect the screen because it has a lip that covers the edges of the screen that will absorb the impact of the fall. (I've dropped my phone face first a few times already with the case on).
