I love my case-mate case because it just fits the phone. I like that it shows the shape of my iPhone 4S, named "Clu" after the antagonist of Tron: Legacy, and still protects it enough for me. Since I'm not that clumsy, at least with my electronics, and that I don't drop my iPhone 4S, often >.>, I don't really need an Otto-box or something that overly protected, like some fireproof, bulletproof, superman-case.
