How much protection does this case offer? How much "lip" will be add around the screen?

It adds a lot of protection. By eye balling it i was say is a good 2mm lip height

Just enough lip to keep the screen from touching when face down(About 1.5 MM). I have dropped the phone very little how ever I believe that the grip fact has been the reason. I think that this case is a keeper. It keeps the phone very thin. Unlike otterbox, that turn my old droid into a deck of tarot cards. I would order again.

Maybe 1/8 of an inch, it is obviously bigger when you hold it in your hand, but minutely so

It's a very small lip, but it does recess the screen slightly. I'm talking millimeters.

There's a good lip on the case which protects the screen pretty well and also gives a better gripping surface. I also purchased the screen cover to protect the screen from scratches. So far, so good...

There is a VERY big ridge that provides ample protection for the screen. The ridge is at least 2mm or more!

It does not have a lip. You might get maybe 1mm of one from how it wraps the edges but I wouldn't count on it doing much.

I have. Nothing crazy, just a "slip out of my hand" and onto the ground. This case has a small upper lip that 'wraps' slightly over the front edges of the phone providing mild protection. It's provided the corners of the device with enough protection in these situations. I'm sure a direct drop onto a sharp/pointed edge would damage the screen.... if you are good with taking care of your devices, this is a great case. If you're a klutz by nature, I'd recommend something bulkier.

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

No screen protection. It's molded in a way that should accommodate any screen protector you want, the case only offers the most basic protection though. It's all hard plastic and is very thing around the edges of the unit.

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.

Plenty of room. The lip is a couple of millimetres high and glass screen protectors usually aren't much thicker than regular versions

Screen exposed and I agree, I prefer it. Then again, 95% of my ipad use is in house. I don't like this case for travel because of lack of full screen protection. The case has just enough of an lip up off the screen to keep the screen safe when it falls. My screen has never been damaged in 14 or saw falls/knockovers in the past year, which is impressive since we have all hard surface flooring.

There is a slight lip that protects the front of my phone, even when laid face-down with a screen protector.

No, it does not have anything to protect the screen. I thought it looked that way too, but that was not the case. I will be purchasing the film protectors. It is not like the Defender or Otterbox cases, but I didn't expect that for the price. It's still a nice case though.

There isn't anything that protects the screen while you are using it. The overall protection for the sides and back is great, and when you snap on the cover, it's quite well protected, but you need to take the cover off to play, and then your screen is unprotected. I was concerned about this when I bought it, but I've not had any issues so far.

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.

It does protect the screen. The case has a slightly raised edge around the entire face of the phone. So you can lay it face down on a table without scratching or even drop it and it will protect the face. It's not a very thick case though so it won't offer as much protection from drops as say an otterbox case would. But the face of your phone should not come into contact with a surface if dropped.

Hope I'm not too late on this reply -- I have been using it for a month now and love it. Protects well but does not add too much bulk in my opinion. Also happy with the look. Feel good about how well my phone is protected. Found it easy to install. I do not have any trouble using the screen with it either, as some have mentioned.

The case does not cover any useable portion of the screen. There is enough of a lip that it stays on. The case won't stand up on its own but it can be leaned against something. The case material is not slippery so it won't slide.
