Does this case have any protection for the screen? I recently dropped my phone and shattered the screen. I need something tough.

If your wondering if it comes with a screen protector it doesnt but the sides are raised to help protect the screen. It really is an awesome case!

No protection for the screen of the face but top edges are protected fully. Believe amazon sells clear plastic screen covers. I rate this phone cover 5 out of five. Cant beat the price

This case offers no frontal screen protection, but I have dropped my phone 3 times while the case was installed, and the screen did not break.

The case has raised edges around the screen to help if it falls on its face, but no screen protector.

Unfortunately no screen protection. I'm not sure if there is a case like an otterbox for this phone. The edges come up so that if falls flat it's protected but if it hits a rock it's a wrap. Good luck and happy hunting..

There is no cover for the screen. However, what prompted me to purchase this is that, like you, I dropped my phone and the screen broke. It broke because it hit in the side of the screen, not directly on the screen. This case has a rubber padding around the edges and insets the screen about 1/16th of an inch from the exterior of the case. So all in all, I think it offers a good amount of protection by keeping things from directly contacting the screen. Hope that helps.

This is a pretty tough case. That said, I am not sure how much it can protect the screen from a direct frontal drop on a hard uneven surface.

Yes, this is a screen and scratch protection ONLY! It will do virtually nothing for drop protection. A silicone or soft rubber case will assist greatly as hard cases don't absorb impact as well. This is a great screen protector when paired with a good case. I prefer it over the Otterbox system.

I don't think so. It is not a very durable case so if you are buying this to protect it and your active or have a construction type job this case is not for. There is no protection for the screen so you will need to by an armor shield for the screen.

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.

Yes it does. The case is a two part case. It has a rubberized inner shell that just comes up over the phone and then you put the outer case over top of that. The outer case also has a bit of a lip. I don't see you you could damage the screen when dropping the phone with this cover on it unless it falls against corner of an object.

No its does not protect screen. You will have to use screen protectors. But all in all its a great case

No, this is not a hard case. This case is somewhat padded but not for drop protection. More for scratch resistant and screen protection use.

Not much but that's actually the wrong question . I have dropped my phone on the screen twice. I was sure it was broken but to my surprise it was undamaged. There is no better protection out there for your phone. A little more size for a whole lot of piece of mind.

No. It don't not cover the screen, and the edges are flush with the edge of the phone, so the screen has no protection if you drop it.

funny you asked this today, I dropped my S3 yesterday with this case and today I'm looking for a screen replacement kit. So No not durable enough....

Then this is the case for you. I forget it even has a case on it most of the time. And I have dropped it a few times now with no probs heck when it falls now I don't even worry about it, best part is it is just a bit taller then the screen so when laying down it protects the screen as well

The case has a beveled edge around the screen that does aid in protecting the screen against drops. In my opinion the screen could still crack if it hit flush on a hard surface but that is true with any case save for an otterbox or lifeproof style case. For the price this case provides the best protection.

This case [in my experience] has been very protective for me, the case does wrap around the top and all the sides, but does not cover the volume buttons or the power button. But I would recommend getting a screen protector or something to help protect your screen, with this case my phone has been fine, but I have dropped it face first onto concrete without a case and it hasn't shattered so I may just have a lucky phone, but I would suggest maybe getting a screen protector or just be really careful, but hopefully your phone is as rugged as mine and you can get any case without worry! Hope this helped! [And sorry if this was confusing a little, I get off topic sometimes. (: ]

Hello Andrew, This case does have a lip that will protect the screen. Sincerely, SPIGEN SGP

This has minimal screen protection. The lip that surrounds the face is less than 1/8th of an inch. I dropped my phone from below waist high, the phone fell onto the pavement below, and my screen was completely shattered. I advise a more durable cover with an additional screen protection sheet which this cover does not come with.

No built in screen protector... but a great case for protection. I left my Galaxy 2s on the car and drove off, hearing a thump I looked in the rear view mirror to see the phone tumbling down the road at 30 mph.... I was sure it would be dead broken. A couple of cars came close to running it over too. The rubber case came off, the plastic case came off, the back cover came off the battery flew out... Put it all back together and it worked fine! Wow! Every part was fine, even the case kickstand was ok. Great protection. I've dropped it several times on the cement. Still ok. Yep, I'd buy another.. In fact I bought 3.

Yes the screen will be protected from shattering. The corners are hard so shattering could not occur. Also, the front is higher that the screen itself therefore it will not shatter. I hope this helped your decision.
