How much bulk does this case add to the phone? Does it offer good face protection?

It adds a lot of bulk, but I thought it was fine. I thought it protected the face well.

It is pretty slim, not at all like the Armor series from Otter Box for the iPhone. As far as screen protection, it is just a thin clear screen protector, again, not like the waterproof Armor case.

Not bulky at all. It keeps the phone slim looking. The screen protector it came with seems good. I put my phone everywhere and I have dropped it more than a few times and it doesnt have any scratches yet. I actually ran over it and there is no visible damage to either the case or phone, there was a surface scratch on the pink part but it has gone away. Id recommend it.

Of course the case is not meant for protection but it does offer some. The sides and back of course, but I'm bot sure how much it could help if dropped in the front screen.

I assume it would because it is so thin. No issue at all with adding bulk to the phone. I have a different case but I think it would work.

The case barely changes the weight of the phone, it's very thin and doesn't add any bulk at all. And it will protect your case from minor falls. I was thinking just like you when I bought this case, wanted something to at least get the job done without feeling like I had a brick in my pocket, and this case does that job. Hope I answered your question!

The case is not flimsy. It protects it well when dropped on its face or back including corners, not as well as an otterbox, but it is significantly less bulky.

It's very thin, it adds about a mm to each side of the phone. But it's not bulky at all

Yes it does and it 'really' does protect the phone. It is a sturdy case. It is not ugly and bulky as some are, it actually adds great looks to the phone.

The case fits my Galaxy s3 well. Although I have dropped my phone while the case was on it with no damage to my phone, protection is not its main function. The case does not cover the entire perimeter of the phones face; the top and bottom of the face are left unprotected.

It offers a great protection to the phone.my phone fell down for 2-3 times with this case.Nothing happened it didn't leave any scratch on the case too so i think it is one of the best case from spigen which doesn't add any bulk with great protection around edges.I also bought slimarmor case the gold one from spigen.I think It offers amazing protection and as well as it is the beauty of spigen

Yes, it makes it considerably more bulky, all cases of this sort add a fair bit of bulk.But what choice do you have? the s4 feels like you could break it in your hand without a case, they keep making phones slimmer necessitating a need for bulky protection.

The case does add some bulk to the phone and does feel somewhat bigger in the hand. I would estimate thickness at approximately 1/16 ", bit look larger due to rollover of lip on edges of phone. Great case, just a bit bulky. If you want a good case but more like the feel of the phone, look at the Spigen Slim Armor line. I have ordered one for me as a backup

It doesn't add much to the phone... It doesn't feel thick at all. It offers good protection and way better grid to the phone.

With the case on the phone, it's only 1/2 inch thick. It's a slim case. It's thick enough to provide the phone good protection, but it's not too bulky. It seems like the perfect size case for the phone. It's for my wife's phone and she loves it. It's worth the money!

Hope I'm not too late on this reply -- I have been using it for a month now and love it. Protects well but does not add too much bulk in my opinion. Also happy with the look. Feel good about how well my phone is protected. Found it easy to install. I do not have any trouble using the screen with it either, as some have mentioned.

I'd say the phone is about 10mm thick with the case. Without case it's 8.3mm. So it adds less than 2mm which is nice. Phone still feels thin with case and gives you protection against scratches but minimal shock protection.

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.
