It also doesnt look like it would help a lot with a fall

But the xiaomi m1 sadly has very few cases designed for it and this one remains the best out of the cheaper options this case has saved my phone many many times over

It wouldnt necessarily protect your screen from a drop directly on its face particularly if the ground wasnt flat but it would protect the phone against damage on to its edges and corners and it makes the phone less slippery and easier to hold
