does it protect the front? when phone is face down, does case protect screen from contact with table? does case also provide shock absorption?

There is a lip of 1.25mm that raises the Nexus 5 off of a table when it is placed face down/if you drop it on the ground to protect the screen. While I haven't really dropped it from a substantial height (&gt;1ft) it does feel like it will protect your phone well if you drop it.

No, but the case protects the screen from any damage ive already dropped my phone from all angles and it's perfectly fine. I really recommend this case itll do what its meant for.

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)

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.

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

While the screen is completely exposed, there is a protective raised edge all around it. It should protect it, unless you strike the screen surface with a direct hard blow. If you just drop it onto a hard surface, I would think it would be protected. I have dropped my phone several times with no damage...

I am assuming you are asking whether the side of the iPhone can be well protected from any shock (dropping accidently). This cover provides tight contact to the phone so it won't slip out and provide good absoprtion from any shock.

Hi Leanyka R! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) Our case will offer moderate protection in the event of a fall, it has good quality cushioning and is well constructed. Of course we cannot claim 100% shock resistance like the Otterbox or Lifeproof cases for you, but it does a good job of protecting your phone along with looking great!:-) Hope this helps, please do contact us at our storefront email if you have further questions.

Yea i bought a screen protector with the case. I think it will protect it if your phone falls on one of the sides or even face down because the case does come up over the edges but the screen is fully exposed. So if something were to fall on it or it fall on a corner, it would probably do some damage.

There is no screen protection provided with thecase. No problem, you provide your own. I got the case to physically protect my phone and itdoes. With the rubber bumpers on the cornersand the rest of the surface covered(except thefront) it works beautifully for me. I'm kindaclumsy. Enjoy it my friend. Charles F.

The phone case covers the sides and corners as well as the back. I accidentally dropped my phone while in the case and wallet and then ran it over with my car. The only damage was a cracked screen, I replaced the screen and the phone still is working great. I thought it was going to be flattened but the case protected it.

No, just the bumpers (front edges of the phone) actually protects the phone of it falls face flat on the floor. You can buy screen protecters though, but keep in mind this case is for the IPhone 3GS

Yes and no. It has a lip on it to help to try to prevent a shattering screen, but it all depends on how the phone is dropped. The screen is exposed.

It has atleast once protected my screen from a scratch from something sharp. As for drops your bumper case should do the needful.

I would say yes. This screen protector will protect the front of the phone from scratches but that's about it. You will need a case to absorb any type of "impact" from a drop. Silicone soft vases work the best for absorbing the shock.

It will protect it from cracking/ breaking if it is dropped. However, it won't from direct impact to to the screen. If something heavy is dropped on it, (nothing will protect it then).

No but it protects the phone pretty well. The front of the phone is basically deep inside the sides of the cover, if it were to fall face down, the thick sides of the cover keep the face of the phone off the surface/floor.
