If I lay my phone flat on the ground does the case keep the screen from touching the ground? Read more

Yes, there is a ridge around the edges of the screen that will hold it off of the surface of say a table top or other level surface. The case also comes with a screen protector.

Yes your screen should be safe. The front edges and corners are raised and will protect it.

If you mean lay it down, face down it does. It came witha clear film type screen protector which I also installed and glad I did. I dropped my phone the other day and it landed face down but incurred no damage. I love this case and the phone still slidesintomy jeans front pocket nicely.

I was wondering about that too. The case I got when I bought my iPhone has raised rubber edges around the front to keep the screen from touching the ground if it falls.

Yes. I have just tested it from four feet high to answer your question on a hardwood floor. I dropped it on its corner and the screen was untouched. I dropped it with the screen facing down and up it was untouched. Not even the camera was damaged nor the metal surroundings on the phone. However, I have dropped it face down on a gravel road before. The case did help, but the thing was there were rocks that could hit my screen because it was not a flat road. Luckily I had an invisible screen protector which helped take the damage leaving my screen only having one little dot on the screen protector. Yes.

When the back is on the phone there is a lip around the sides so if you lay the phone on it's face the screen isn't touching the surface. Hope that helps

It protected my phone when it landed screen side down. I feel that this case gives me adequate protection. I don't think any case maker can make a claim that the phone will always be protected 100% of the time, (crazy accidents sometimes happen), but, I would say based on how it has worked for me that 98% of the time you would be covered with this case if you dropped your phone. Hope this helps!

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

Nope.You can play around with it and make it stay up, I've done it by simply moving the phone towards the back of case when it's on it's side. Works just as well.

The case does not protect your screen. However, it is raised a little when placed faced down on a flat surface.You have to compromise looks over protection of the screen with this case. If that bothers you, then you should go for the case that flips over to protect the screen, but most peeps I know end up not liking those.

This case has a lip around the screen so if it were to hit the ground face first the screen will remain untouched. I don't use screen protectors because they are a pain in the butt to install and they sometimes take away from the resolution. Just use the phone without one.....that's just my opinion of course....Overall it's a great case, I've dropped my phone a handful of times and I'm surprised at how well it absorbs shock due to how thin it is.

It should lay flat. It would be plainly evident that it wasn't attached to the case. Mine completely separated from the case. I would put it together without your phone in it and stick it in water to see if any water gets in before fully trusting it. Best of luck.

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...

It should be fine. It's not an Otterbox though... The screen sits flush with the case, if it was dropped flat, face down it might damage.

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

I have dropped it but usually when I am sitting and the fall is not so dire. However, I find the protective cover to be one of the best I've had. Even if it falls directly on the screen, enough of a buffer is in place from the outer cover to shield it from touching any surface. It has a soft rubber case that is covered entirely by a hard cover case. Based on my own experience I would recommend it.

No, it does not. However, the case is raised on all sides of the screen side so IF the phone fell straight down..the edges would stop it from damaging the screen.

No, but the case is raised higher than the iPhone scree. So if you set the phone flat it wouldn't rest on the screen a d it offers some protection. I have three iPhone 5'sin the family and don't have screen protectors on any of them, the iPhone screen really is tough so I have never seen the need.

No, but when dropped nothing happens to the screen because it bounces so the screen is protected.
