does it protect the phone

It will protect the phone from scratches and chips. I would trust it for a very short drop but nothing substantial. It is more cosmetic than protective.

I haven't dropped my phone yet, but the case is spongy and encases the entire phone. I feel very comfortable every time I put the phone down on a hard surface.

No it doesn't, but it does seem to do a very good job protecting the screen from drops, which i do all the time. Love the case!

No. But it comes with a screen protector and the case covers the corners on the front so they are protected.

Yes - and it does a great job protecting the phone (esp when used with the clip, though I often go without) Much better than I expected for the price!

No, it just snaps on over your phone. It protects the back and sides from scratches, but won't provide much actual protection for the phone.I have a few different cases to avoid boredom, and I use this one when I'm at work or around the house where I'm less likely to drop it. It's really pretty, and preserves the slim look and feel of the phone.

It does not protect the front. Very cheap case that is more for looks than protecting the phone.

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 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. but it does not protect the top and bottom of phone and the face, so there is an opportunity for that part of phone to scratch since it is not covered

It does not protect the front. It only protects the sides and the back. But it is very cute.

Yes it protects the back. Since owning the case, I have dropped the phone twice from standing height and the case did its job. Some reviews stated the bumper edge started to peel off. I haven't had that experience yet. I have no regrets purchasing this case.

Yes it did protect it cause my daughter dropped her phone so many times and it is still intact and dry. ..

Well my phone has fell with the case many times already and my screen hasn't cracked so I would say it does. There is a screen protractor within the case so that also protects the screen

no its just a thin film that comes in pieces to lay over the outside of the phone - it only changes the look of the phone, no protection at all

No, it protects the phone as any other cover would. Phone feels same with or without the cover. Already paid for itself after first drop.

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