Does this offer any drop protection? I don't mind if the case is totaled from a single drop, but I'd like my phone to remain un-totaled :)

From My Experience and from what people are saying off the forums, it should be okay from a short fall, keep in mind this case is is designed very slim so anything more than a short fall and your really pushing your luck. Also the screen on the N5 is VERY fragile this case does not offer IMO, any reasonable screen protection. Mine fell from about 4 ft (screen down) onto a bump on the sidewalk and that was enough to crack the Digitizer and had to send the phone to LG for a cost of $140. If your phone should fall screen down chances are you could be like me and have to shell out $140 for a new screen :( Invest in a flip-style case or one where the screen is more protected by the edges of the case.

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

Definitely. I have dropped my phone several times in this case. So far, the case and the phone have survived completely unharmed.

I have dropped mine once. I was trying to unlock my front door and it slipped out of my hand onto my concrete garage floor - from what I saw, it landed on the top corner and then bounced face down. The case now has a couple scratches on it but they are very small and my phone is completely fine.

Hello Isabella! my case is a little prominent, surrounding the screen, like a milimeter or two, so, if it falls horizontally, on a flat surface, the screen won't get in direct contact with it. It's great for minor drops. That doesn't mean the screen wouldn't get damaged though. If you drop from a different angle or if it falls from too high, or in high speed, like from a bike in motion... The screen might get damaged anyway. But I dropped mine while walking and jogging on the street a few times and nothing happened to the screen (neither to the rest of the phone, btw) I also use an invisible screen protector, so it's always free of minor scratches. I would recommend an invisible screen protector to any touchscreen owners. Although mine suffered a few bumps, it looks brand new! Hope this helps you! Lucy

It did for me. I got out of my car and it fell off of my lap and onto the pavement - no damage to my phone. There isn't even damage to the case.

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!

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)

I drop this thing at least 3 times a day(most recently from 10 foot bleachers onto a concrete floor) and I have never had a problem. I do have a fairly pricey screen protector I got from ATT ($30 bucks but worth it) however. This case is really good and if you haven't already bought an otterbox, don't.

That's exactly why I bought it, it has raised edges that surround the edges of the phone so if you happened to drop it face down, you have nothing to worry about. I've dropped my phone face down on concrete and other hard surface and with this case on, it's yet to crack. Hope that helps.

Yes, I have dropped my phone many times and the case protected it. But, the case itself will break.

There is a rubber layer that covers the entire phone. A hard plastic layer snaps on over the rubber but doesn't completely cover the rubber. I feel like my phone is well protected. I've dropped it twice and the phone doesn't have a single ding. The cover is also none the worse for wear after the falls, either.

I haven't had the case very long, and I haven't dropped my phone since I got it. I do feel pretty comfortable that the case will protect it from a "normal" drop though. By normal I mean out of my hand onto the floor or ground. Probably not anything higher than that though.

It does protect it somewhat. I've dropped my phone a couple times and it was fine. It's not at bulky as the otterbox so I assume if your phone lands face down on something hard the screen might break. My case actually cracked at the bottom from plugging it in all the time. I'm a little rough on things. It's a great case for the appearance. I wouldn't bank on it to keep your phone 100% safe.

Depends how it's droppedAfter 24 hrs of receiving the case And putting it on. I dropped my phone while getting out my car and the case did get damaged. I dropped a few times and each time there was damage to the case or the phone or both. It was cute while it lasted

It's very thin for mainly for surface protection, but it might not be enough for high impact drops. I've only dropped my phone once - form about waist height to asphalt, and luckily it landed case down. No damage to the phone, but the metal plate got dinged up (I'm referring to the previous elago S5 case I had). If you tend to drop your phone a lot I wouldn't suggest this case, but if you're looking to just protect the outsides with something minimal that doesn't change the feel of the phone, than this is it.

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.

Yes!!! Yes!!! I drop my phone over 20 times and nothing has happened to it . I would buy it again and again
