Is there a good lip on the front of the cover? I currently have an Otterbox DEFENDER case and it has a good lip; does this?

Yes it does. As you know this cover is a 2 piece set. The heavy rubber piece first has a good lip on it. It has double rubber on all corners and any buttons on the phone. The second piece is hard plastic and Black and keeps the rubber cover on tight.mabout the only downfall is the rubber piece is a bitt to soft for my tastes but I think it is so many different battery sizes and back battery covers will work with this case. Other then that it is an awesome case. Hope this helps. But you can't go wrong

I had a Defender as well. This does have a good lip so you can lay it down screen side and it does not touch the surface. Have had this a couple months and really like it!

Mine said otter box all over everything and is the best thing ever. Dropped my phone a few times and still perfect. I would recommend

There is a small lip, I have dropped my phone a few times already - face down & have luckily not damaged my screen at all

It is not designed to protect like the Otter does. However, I recently have dropped my phone more than ever and it has not broken, nor did the case. I am not sure that I would depend on anything to protect as well as the Otter. I do really like this case, though.

Yes it does have a lip. Small one but enough to keep the screen off a flat surface.

I basically dismantled my otterbox so it's more user friendly. I cut off the flaps and took out the black coverings near the bottom so people could hear me better. It has good protection if I drop it and that's all I need. The flaps just got in my way.

I actually meant to include this in my review but no it doesn't. It's barely even noticeable compared to almost every other case. The lip is completely rounded and not just beveled. It also does a great job of keeping the screen off of surfaces.

You would need to contact Otterbox to see if they will cover it. I bought mine straight through them and they covered all claims. It's only good for a year from time of purchase I've learned. They have replaced mine THREE times due to the front plate braking. It is the worse case I have every had.

I have no experience with a defender case so I can't compare. What I can say thought is that it's a bit stiky but if you are serious about protecting your phone there is nothing better. From now on I will first check if otterbox or lifeproff makes a case for the phone I want andthen buy it Hope that helps

The case makes it a little more evened out but it does maintain a slight curve. The lip does help to protect the front but it wouldn't help if it hit a jagged edge. I have dropped it already on the front and back and there is no noticeable damage.

I have used the s-pen a reasonable amount and have not noticed any issue with the s pen and the otter screen protector. I really like this case... The only down side of the case is that it makes a small and slim tablet feel a bit thick and chuncky.... however, I dropped my tablet on asphalt, it landed on the edge/corner and then fell face down on the pavement. It would surely have busted the screen if not for the otterbox. The case saved my tablet, so I can't complain about its size.

I received my new Otterbox cover at the beginning of the week and already dropped it several times and without any damage. I did not have a defender but I used the commuter prior to this Otterbox and I believe it has the same protection level without the bulkiness.

It does have a small lip but not enough to keep phone from falling face down. I have a tempered glass screen protector on front

There really isn't too much of a lip, the case is almost flush with the phone. So, if the surface isn't completely flat there is a chance the screen will be touching. You may want to get a screen protector if you want this case.

The front lip is perfect! Thick enough for protection, but thin enough to maintain the sleekness of the GS4. I would say that its even slimmer than the Samsung OEM Galaxy S3 Protective Bumper case.

I haven't used an Otterbox on this phone so I can't really give an accurate answer. I do however have an Otterbox that I will be getting for Christmas this week and I will know more. By looking at both cases it seems to me that the Otterbox is not as thick around the screen edge. I love Trident cases but I'm curious about Otterbox. If I can I will let you know the differences I notice at the end of the week. :) I hope this was helpful.

It does not really have any lip over the front of the phone if that is what you mean. It goes up about parallel with the front side of the phone
