My Favorite is the Otter Box Defender. I work on machines in dirty industrial machine shops and need solid protection. The case is great!!!! I have had several bumps and drops, with NO conesequences. HIGHLY Recommend!!!
I pretty much roll naked, but when I do use a case it is a Case-Mate barely there. I love the Case-Mate cases I have a ton of them in all different colors.
I prefer Otterbox. I like their rugged construction and the protection they provide. I tend to be fairly active and thus rough on phones. Otterbox has saved me from needing a new phone several times.
I like the Otterbox Commuter, soft silicon skin touching the phone with the added protection of a second hard shell and it comes with a screen protector. The case doesn't add too much bulk to the overall dimensions of the phone.
My favorite iPhone case, of the dozens manufactured today, remains the Incipio Ultra Light Feather case. It is as minimal as I can find without losing the ability to prevent marks from dinging my prized possession.
I had a Siedio case (and holster) for my iPhone 3gs... I loved that case but over time I noticed some pretty significant damage (yes, my fault... I'm prone to iPhone droppy-droppy disease sometimes). When I got my iPhone 4S, I decided I wanted something a little more rugged... so I went with the OtterBox Defender. Sure, it's a little more "umph" as far as size but DANG, the phone is protected!
I Don't have a case at all, never have. I'm obsessed with the look and feel of my iPhone in my hand. not to mention that i have never dropped an iPhone and i clean it top to bottom every night. so for me there is no point in a case. I hope it still counts ... a little love for the freestyle iPhone.
Depends on what I am using the phone for. Otterbox for my personal phone because I usually use it in places it should't be and needs the protection. Speck for my work phone because of the styling options.
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.
