does the case "lip" come out far enough to keep the screen and the camera lens off of a surface that the phone is laying on?

Definately enough lip on the back side, but just barely any lip on the screen side. On a perfectly flat, smooth surface it would be ok, but on anything else it would scrape the glass

No, the camera on the back of the phone remains uncovered. The case has an opening to provide for use of the camera and the case is elevated and protects the camera.

Yes, very narrowly. The lip rises above the face of the phone slightly so that if you set it face downn on a smooth surface the glass wouldn't touch it.

Not sure what you mean by a lip but if you mean for the camera lens, the clear back has a cutout for the lens.

It does not cover the camera lens. This case is thin, so the lens protrudes a little. However, the design of this phone does that the phone rests in a slightly tilted position. The glass never touches the surface of the table.

There is no clear covering over the camera lens like the screen has (not sure you would want it either) but the case encircles the lens so it is recessed back 2/16"+. Enough to shield from a glancing blow but not from a direct hit unless object is too large to fit in recess.

There is a slight lip, I don't think it is as deep as 1/4 inch; I've had no problem with it protecting my screen and I've dropped it several times.

As the case itself, no. It is set up to allow your camera strap to pass through. It has a snap on one side to keep the case with the strap

yes. the case extends a little bit past the screen, but enough so that when you lay your phone down on a flat surface, the screen wont make contact with the surface.

No though it is a little snug so the first couple times you may need to put a liittle force behind it. Just to confirm the screen faces in not out.

It's cut out does not cover the camera, but the screen for the phone does that well enough.

The case unsnaps revealing the lens. It folds down. The protective area on the lens can be completely removed leaving just the area around the camera.

It sure does! It's a very small lip, but face down on a flat surface (of course), the screen does not touch the surface, just the case.

No but the cover has some millimeters away from the screen so it won't get messed up

VERY slightly, the lip just goes over the screen. If you want good screen protection this may not be the best option but I have dropped my phone while in this case from a short distance and the screen was perfect. I substituted protection for style because I don't like the look of bulky protection cases.

The case is slightly raised around the camera so it does give some protection. I usually put the phone face down because there is more protection around the front of the case.

Yes, with this case the phone will not rest on the front or rear camera. The case is very thin, but it definitely will not rest on the camera lens on a flat surface.
