Since the borders on the case are not that thick above the screen, does the case protect the screen if the phone falls face down?

Well, I think they may enhance the phone from a huge breakage, as the plastic wraps around to the front; however, if you were to drop your phone on ceramic tile, face down, chances are great that the phone's face may incur damage. I like my cover. It's Navy Blue and is a heavier cover than some of the rubberized ones.

I would say it gives it some protection. This is not a heavy duty case for those that are rough on their phones and dropping it all the time. I really like this case as it makes the phone less slippery and less likely to drop it. Also the corner bumpers absorb the shock if you drop the phone and it hits on the edges. i have dropped it face down from a short distance and it was fine. However, i am very careful with my phone and a gentle user so this level of protection is perfect for me.

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.

It depends on how u drop it. If it falls on it's back then ya the case will definitely be prtective. My phone has not yet fallen face down so I don't really know about that part. I hope this was helpfull to you.

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).

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.

The case is raised about a 1/6th of an inch above the phone face - if you set the phone face down there will be no damage. But there is no screen protection, one of the other models offers a built in screen protector.

No, the case and the phone are exactly in the same plane, so when it is facing down, both touch the ground (it does not protect the Iphone at all, but it is very thin and delicate)

No, there is not. I think that's something that comes with your phone itself, but maybe you know some some case makers who provide them. On this case there is a fine lip around the front edge that protects the screen in the even of a normal drop, because the edge will hit the ground before the face of the phone does. But if you were to drop your phone face down on the corner of a hard surface, there could be trouble.

No, the case is the same exact size as the phone. So if you dropped it face down it could get scratched.

the edge of the case around the screen come up a bit so when my phone falls, the screen doesn't hit and mine has yet to break and I drop it all the time. but it doesn't have something over the screen

The way this case is made it actually comes out a little further than the phone will so if its dropped straight down then yes it will protect your phone screen but if its dropped and hits another object before landing then the other object may hit your screen. I also use the screen protectors and I haven't had any damage since buying this case. :)

The case provides enough clearance so that you can set the phone face down on a flat surface without it getting scratched. However, that's about all the protection it can offer to the front. You still have to worry about stuff hitting it during a fall or keys in your pocket scratching the screen.

It does protect the screen. The case has a slightly raised edge around the entire face of the phone. So you can lay it face down on a table without scratching or even drop it and it will protect the face. It's not a very thick case though so it won't offer as much protection from drops as say an otterbox case would. But the face of your phone should not come into contact with a surface if dropped.

No, it would not protect the front of the phone if you dropped it face down.

The case does not cover the screen. There is an overlap so the screen doesn't hit the ground if dropped. I've dropped my phone (facedown) 2-3 times with no resulting damage.

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.

The case does have a lip to protect the screen if you lay the phone face down. The lip also does not interfere with touching the edges of the screen.
