With the case completely on. Is there any way for dirt or debris to go in between the screen protector & screen? Or is it tightly sealed?

It is tightly sealed except for the speakers. I slide it in my pocket every day and it gets dusty but nothing gets inside it's good unless your in a desert or something

No the screen seals perfectly, but the speaker openings should have some type of felt, or mesh, to keep dust from going in the speakers.

It is extremely tight, this is a very sturdy and professional looking case. I am more than extremely pleased with it. It is worth the money.

Dirt will get in, and dust, adn hair etc. it's a GREAT bumper case, but I jsut now broke mine trying to get phone ut to clean interior of case. Cheap enough to buy another though. The phone is already waterproof, so no need to spend lifeproof money!

Dirt will get into this. The speakers, cameras, and flash are all unsealed and exposed. Over time dirt an debris (hair, lint) will make it's way inside the case. You will need to periodically removed the case for cleaning.

Hi Pattye - no, the front is completely open. I added a clearly protected screen protector but not necessary really.

It has a screen protector, but it's quite rigid and there's a gap between the protector and the screen which people say lets in dirt. I removed that -- it was easy to do, and I put on a nice adhesive protector from here on Amazon. Very easy, and no problems with dirt.

No built in screen protector. Which is good in a way because moisture gets trapped between it and the screen. Which makes dirt stick, too. Better off with a 'on the glass' protector IMHO.

You're using the screen protector with it right? Because not using it allows the case to become loose and not snug fit. If you are using it then just make sure you push down really hard on the edges to make sure its clipped in correctly.

No, mine still collected dust. I removed the screen protector, then added a separate cling screen protector so dust couldn't get under it. I have had many Otterbox cases and I have done this same thing with all my cases.

The screen protector is pretty tight in the middle screen, but not as much in the corners, but I haven't had any problems with the functioning of the touch screen. No real build up of dust or any other particles inside the screen for me

I cannot rid the air bubbles. I've taken it off and cleaned several times but still has bubbles. There's space between the screen and screen savor. I surely cannot be the only one with this problem. I'd cut out the protector if it didn't ruin the case but it would. Help!

For me you had to put the screen protector on yourself but if you do buy the case it comes with the stuff shown (Im pretty sure on that unless you do otherwise) use the little microfiber thing to clean it first like really clean and take your time doing it cuz I put mine on without any bubbles. Hope this helps in one way or another

I have had my case for several months and have not had a problem. The edge of the case on the phone rests on the raised edge of the cover (the solid area next to the padded area) so the cover never touches the face - so my phone has no screen contact.

Nothing you can do. I removed my screen protector and no more bubbles or trapped dirt.

Hello. You can clean the case with disinfectant wipes, but after you do that take a cloth or tissue and wipe off any wet residue from the screen area so that it is dry and responsive to touch. Thank you

Mine is absolutely silent, but I do not have screen protector film installed. I don't know if you do, but if so I suggest removing it.

I've only had my screen on for a short time, I couldn't get dust, hair, debris out no matter what I did. I found it easier to just remove the cheap 'protector', it helped with the response on my phone as well. You can always put it back on, as it's attached with cheap hot glue.

You have to remove it from the case. Also, when I got my case, the screen was covered in dirt. Also, to plug in and detach the headphone jack, that is done from inside the case, not outside.

Dust and debris gets into the little slits designed for the speakers. This dust and debris comes to rest in between the screen and the screen protector. Also pocket lint and dust accumulate in the opening for the phone call sensor, so the device has a hard time telling if the phone is to your face or not. You can remove the case and clean it frm time to time, but this gets old and tiresome the case isn't the easiest to remove. Hope this helps

Make sure there's no zag shield or invisible shield still on your phone from before you had this case..i found it helps if you wipe the screen w a microfiber cloth then install the case
