looks like the "lip" does not ring the entire face of phone? is it missing along the top edge? if dropped and hit on that edge could break easily?

If you are looking for complete protection this is not it. That said this is a fantastic thin case. Much better then other very thin cases

No but the sides form a ridge or lip around the phone so that the face is fairly well protected. I have dropped mine with this new cover without damage to my phone

The face of the phone is not covered. The only thing that is covered by the phone is the back of the phone. If I wouldn't buy again if I had to for this reason.

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!

Officially yes, I've dropped mine twice on asphalt while getting out of a car and both times my phone came through without a scratch. The drop was so hard that it completely knocked the cover off the phone. So you can see how that makes you wonder if it's really doing it's job. I wonder if maybe I just got lucky?

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

Hi Sammy. Yes it does have a lip raised above the front of the phone for protection. If you dropped it I think it might crack the case but the case would protect the phone. It is also nice quality and looks great. My daughter loves it!

The case does have a lip to protect the screen if you lay the phone face down. The lip also does not interfere with touching the edges of the screen.

The edges of that case appear to cover more of the top surface. I think this screen protector is your best bet to stay attached if you have to pull a rubber lip over the top of it.

it is hard plastic and it isn't all the way around. Actually, there is an opening on the top and bottom and I managed to drop my phone right at that spot and chipped the edge of phone.

The case cover the corners of the screen part of the phone. I dropped it twice already, no cracks. I won't say it is totally invisible though. Get a screen slid if you are getting it.

Yes the lip is raised about 1mm or so. The case is very lightweight, sturdy, protective, and doesn't take away from the design of the phone. The case itself is fairly thin. Probably 2-3mms, more like 2mm, I would think. I hope this helps.

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 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 haven't had it shatter into smaller pieces, just get really cracked up and then start to peel off. My previous one was very damaged but you cannot tell on the actual phone at all. (Yes, I'm a clutz with my phone!)

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

I bought kept a screen protector on the screen and a case on the phone from the day I got it. The phone itself would be too fragile to NOT have a thick cover on it at all times in my opinion. Also, i found that the screen was really sensitive and mine got "stuck" between screens when I would swipe.
