I see that this case is very slim but is it protective for when i drop it face (screen) first?

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).

The case doesn't cover the face of the phone. It does form a small ridge around the edge, which may help protect the screen if it's dropped flat on its face. I haven't dropped mine face first since I got the case, though, so I couldn't say for sure.

Probably not. The rim is thick enough to lay the phone face down on a table but if you drop it face first onto dirt or gravel its most likely going to land on the screen

Yes is slim, but is rubber made and perfect fit to the phone. It is not loose and that is perfect for hold in hand. So far I accidentally drop my G2 for a two time and this case protect from damage. It was drop by side and back but not a screen first. This case is about 1/8 of inch higher on edges of cellphone screen side and I am pure sure that if you drop on screen first that will protect your phone.

It only protects the small part around the front. The blue part you can see from the image posted. My phone has landed screen down on concrete twice and that small part of the case has Protected my phone screen from breaking. Not sure if I'm making any sense... The small rim of the case that covers the front screen has protected it from breaking, it lands on a flat surface so what hits on the phone is the case covering in the front....

The edges of the case DOES stick out a little bit past the screen. However, I dont feel like its out far enough. This phone case will take impact pretty well around its edges/corners and the back ...but I think if it were dropped "face first", the impact would still do some damage to the screen.

Yes. When laying face down the screen is off the surface. Its good to get a screen protector because u see less fingerprints and prevents scratches.

I would say it gives it some protection. This is not a heavy duty case for those that are rough on their phones and dropping it all the time. I really like this case as it makes the phone less slippery and less likely to drop it. Also the corner bumpers absorb the shock if you drop the phone and it hits on the edges. i have dropped it face down from a short distance and it was fine. However, i am very careful with my phone and a gentle user so this level of protection is perfect for me.

There is little to no protection for the front screen. The case has lips that "clip" on to the corners so you technically could put the pone face down and receive no scratches. I bought a 3m screen just because I'm I over protective.

It doesn't have built in "screen protection" for the front but when laid, screen down, it's safe. Honestly I regret not buying this case first over the Ballistic brand. Hope this helps

It will protect it from drops on a flat surface, the edges are raised. If you were to drop it, the rubber or plastic of the case would hit first. It won't protect against scratches from keys or other items in your pocket though, there is no screen protector.

Its a slim case so no it doesnt go over the edge. So yes.. the screen touches the surface when face down. It's really thin plastic as well.. not much protection for such an expensive phone.

Yes it protects the phone just fine if you don't drop it, as there's no front protection. The case is hard on the back and the sides are a soft plastic, so it makes it easier to grip the phone.

No it protects the back. It has a little lip around the front. If the phone lands flat the front might not crack.

There are better cases for drop protection. I have several cases and this is not one I would consider good for that purpose. It is pretty light weight and I have dropped the phone while it is in this case, I like this one because it is slim and I carry the phone in my pocket.

This case [in my experience] has been very protective for me, the case does wrap around the top and all the sides, but does not cover the volume buttons or the power button. But I would recommend getting a screen protector or something to help protect your screen, with this case my phone has been fine, but I have dropped it face first onto concrete without a case and it hasn't shattered so I may just have a lucky phone, but I would suggest maybe getting a screen protector or just be really careful, but hopefully your phone is as rugged as mine and you can get any case without worry! Hope this helped! [And sorry if this was confusing a little, I get off topic sometimes. (: ]

It is a good case that is slim, has a nice fit, and protects most of the phone. In my experience it didn't have great coverage over the front facing corners of the phone, leaving it prone to dings and knicks if dropped correctly. But that's the price you pay for a slim design. To prevent the screen breaking, you would need a screen protector that's impact resistant.

Hey Rachel, I recently broke the front screen when my iphone had fallen on hard surface (facing front screen). This cover could still protect if it had fallen facin bak surface. So this is definitely not comparable to Otterbox.

I have dropped my phone a couple time and there is no damage. The corners are protected by the hard plastic shell and there is a lip (thats not holding elasticity) that helps cushion the fall. But the screen is not protected.

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