Is the back protector also glass? I'm getting a new bumper but would like the back to have more protection than just the regular thin film protector.

no, it is plastic film. but the nice thing is that it is a matte finish on the aluminum and gloss on the glass, very nice looking. does the job from minor scratches

Yes, there is a bumper on the front of the screen. Just enough to protect the phone from falls and not so much that it interfers with screen protectors.

mine is silicone. so i think it depends which material otterbox you get. i don't know which one protects better. but this goes around the back and sides much like the otterbox. sorry i can't be more definitive.

No, the case is one piece. But with the back being clear it gives the appearance of being just a bumper with the added protection of the back cover.

The back is frosted. You can see through it and there is a hole in the back that allows the apple logo to show through. I've found that the frosted back does not scratch as easily as the clear shells. The sides appear to be sort of a hard silicone type material.

Hello Stephen, No, this is not a glass screen protector. However, our screen protectors are a durable, strong, and thick plastic that applies onto the screen of your device. Thank you for your inquiry.

No this protects only the back. I didn't realize this upon purchasing the case and ended up buying a screen cover separately. Bummer

Yes, it's glass, it's easy to apply and it's very very good. I actually found it makes the touchscreen more sensitive

It is a glass protector. It's very thin & has a slick texture much like the iPhone faceplate. I've dropped my phone on both street & concrete surfaces & it's still intact.

Not sure what you mean by a glass type protector, but I would compare it to a rubbery elastic screen protector. Hope I was helpful.

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, the backs are clear. The only difference in all of the color choices is the bumper color around the edges. Hope that helps!

The bumpers only cover the frame of the phone. If you want more protection, I recommend getting a screen protector for the front and back of the phone to prevent scratches. :)

No. The bumper would be too loose without the plastic back in there. The plastic "back"actually covers the sides too. the bumper secures it in place

I bought screen protector to keep it from scratching. It does not come with a cover for the glass. I have dropped it a few times and glass was not damaged. I really love my case and have had it for a good while. My husband has the candy apple one. He is typically harder on phones than I am. His is just fine, too. No issues.

Nope! The back of the case is just a hard plastic. The 'rubber' is only around the corners and screen!

Not sure it it's actually glass or a very hard plastic, but it is stiff, not floppy like the scratch protectors. I can say that I got a crack in my first Tech Armor protector on a roller coaster and it took all the damage, my phone was fine.
