Would this case protect the front (screen) of the phone if dropped? It looks like there's a slightly-raised lip around the screen-side? Thanks!

there is a raised lip around the screen that could protect the phone of any drop but not sure if the lip is thick enough to avoid any screen damage.

It is raised a bit. And it will protect the phone. But I would still be careful

Dropping, maybe not but I feel comfortable laying it down on the face - do it all the time. There's enough rim to make that an easy decision, no clicking, screen does not touch the surface. I think it will only NOT help if you drop on its face on an irregular surface. if it drops flat onto a flat surface, I think the case would be a big help.

Not as heavy duty as an OtterBox style case but will provide some impact protection. It does wrap around and cover the outer edge of the glass.

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

Hi! There is a plastic/ rubber "case" the in which the phone fits perfectly. It is form fitted around the sides and back, but does not cover the front. I've dropped my phone a couple of times since using the cover and all is well. I love it!

I'd say that it will help protect your phone, especially if it falls on the back. At the same time, it won't exactly help much if it falls on the front screen, but that's true for a LOT of cases

The protection in the back is very solid. Although it does not have the hard body protection, it is very solid in the back. the overall covering around the screen is the only questionable part. Meaning if you drop it face down, will the bumper be big enough not to crack the screen. I am confident any side impacts will be absorbed well by the case but not very confident about a frontal impact.

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.

The edges of the case DOES stick out a little bit past the screen. However, I dont feel like its out far enough. This phone case will take impact pretty well around its edges/corners and the back ...but I think if it were dropped "face first", the impact would still do some damage to the screen.

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

Yeah but not enough to really protect it much. I love the case but if you put your phone down screen first a lot, not the right one for you.

Yes,the lip is raised. It is not dramatic,but is enough to keep the screen from touching if you place phone face down. I think you will find this case to your liking.

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).

If you drop it on a smooth flat surface then absolutely! However, if it's any other kind of surface your phone's front screen will get damaged. I own this case and it's wonderful with the exception of that one flaw in its design.

It is ever so slightly raised above the phone body. When laying face down the lip of the case touches the surface not the screen. Hope this helps

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.

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.

It does cover the front edges, but the front corners are 'exposed'. That's not to say there's no protection as the case angles back to about half way covering the top and bottom, but if you drop the phone directly at the front facing top or bottom corners you can damage them. That being said, it is a very slim case and provides coverage of the critical side edges, so that when I put the phone face down no part of it touches the flat surface, due to the edge covering, and I appreciate the easy access to ports and toggles (i.e. power & volumes).I like it a lot, but as with all things ymmv.

As far as covering the screen, no. However, the case itself has an overlap on the front of the phone that is raised slightly. If dropped on a flat surface, as mine was, it will prevent the screen from contacting anything. If dropped on anything that is raised, such as a rock, corner of a step, etc., it will not be protected. Hope this helps.
