Does the Top layer stay on pretty well? If I drop it it wont pop off will it? I am thinking maybe this and glass protector is best vs defender?

I ve tried mophie and Bélkin .. Esteticlly( visual and feel to touch) mophie wins! But like this one better overall.. Cause it May not look awsome! But Bélkin really keeps the battery capacity soo much longer (wich it is the main reason of this kind of case), vs really hard falls ...sometimes naturally and even to disperse energy from impact the top layer does pop off But i mean with real Great falls (1.5 mts or so to concrete)

It doesn't completely pop off but a portion of it will separate. That said, I used to have an Otterbox because I was constantly dropping and throwing my phone and it has been fine. No regrets.

I have dropped mine a couple of times and it has not come apart. Both drops were from a little over 3 1/2'.

I have dropped it a few times.. It popped off twice, it's in great condition and I love it.

Yes they fit really right together. I have the defender too. This is better as an alternate battery pack while the defender is just a protective case. The thickness of both of these are about the same.

I was using the ArmorSuit brand for a while, but it peeled off the top. That might have been due to bad installation because the rest of the edges were good and tight. Or it could have been aggravated from going in and out of my pocket. I've been screen protector less for 3 months now and I like it. Just don't put keys in the same pocket. ;)

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.

So far we have not dropped phone but I am hoping that it will not crack the glass if we do. the last one we had was rubber and it was hard to get to get in and out of my husbands back pocket. Also, the phone company has a really cheap insurance cover for broken glass.

If you use an Invisible Shield, then the line isn't going to be smooth because of the texture, and I've noticed people have had some bad luck with hard plastic screen protectors generally (otter box defender, etc.). I have glass screen protectors on my iPad Air, OnePlus One, Nexus 7 2013 and Galaxy S4. None of them has been scratched or broken so far. Before I switched to glass, my original Galaxy S Note went through two IS protectors that were rugged but halting for styli and began to peel over time.

Yes, the glass screen protector saved my phone when I fell on it. But the one down side is you have to press harder because of the extra layer of protection. You can get used to it, on the weekend when I'm not working I use a simpler cover for my phone.

Mine has the bubbles and minor peel-off at the top corner as well.The rest of the screen looks perfect, as others have said. I did find it possible to use the flat part of my fingernail and a piece of cardboard to press it back into place so it almost looks perfect. I figure I'll leave it on as a first layer of defense. Zagg.com has great screen protection films but with the ability to close the lid on this unit, I figure I shouldn't need that.BTW- anyone know if spare batteries are available???

I think It peels off... I just returned it because it wasn't a great fit... If u just want the protection without The screen maybe u should get a commuter

The cover does fall off easy. I have every kind of cover, protector, sleeve, ect - pretty much tried them all as I have 3 ipads in my house. My best chose is a soft leather protector, which has a built-in stand, protects front, back and all the sides & edges

it is not actually a cover for the front. I have found I do not need a front screen protector because the glass is so strong. However, if you do manage to crack the screen, a cover may save the phone by keeping the glass in place. If you really want a good screen protector, I recommend the spendy Zagg one. If you buy it at a mall kiosk, they will put it on for you. I looooove my speck cover. I drop my phone a couple times a day, usually on the street, and the speck candyshell Case has saved 3 iphones so far from my hard use.

I too have a glass screen protector and have had no issues whatsoever. It fits great even with the glass protector. Youll love that it doesnt slip or slide on slick surfaces and you can fit 3-5 business cards, an ID and a credit card. I dont even have to take my ID out to swipe into the garage or my office doors.

I have an Otter Box over it for over 2years no problems. Any tiny bubbles were gone in a day or so after application. Have it on 2 other units too all same

If you drop your phone face down, it won't survive. Not many cases will keep your screen safe. Get a case and also get a glass screen protector. That will be your best bet. That's what I have

I wouldn't buy the glass cover. All because I personally like my screen protector. I've dropped my phone a lot. Depending how thick the glass is, it might shader when you drop the phone. But it's up to you if you want to take the chance. But I got a finger print resistance cover for my phone. It's really good. Glass may leave lots of finger prints. It's up to you!

I wouldn't use it without a screen protector on the phone itself. I haven't had any issues because the front comes out far enough so if it did drop it wouldn't land directly on the screen, but I'd still buy a screen protector for added security.

Yes, this item is awesome. I am a clutz myself. I have thrown it and nothing happened. There is only one thing I recommend though. Tear out the screen protector, it will scratch your screen. Just tear that little plastic the off the cover, because you will need that front facing to clasp.
