I agree with tripleone. I stopped liking cases for awhile, just because I felt like it takes away from the device. That's until I dropped mine and earned a nice scrape; I did have a skin but that wasn't enough. In my opinion, you cant go wrong with a Apple case; silicone or leather. I recently got the red silicone one and love it; I would like the black leather for formal or dressier occasions. They are pricey IMO but well worth it. And plus these new Apple phones are mad slippery compared to the 5 and 5s; I couldn't see having something on it.
