Another hard case to body glove convert here. After hearing stories of scratching, I checked my son's old phone (1 year old LG Xenon kept inside a hard case) against mine same model, but kept without a case. His phone body was scratched up pretty bad, but mine looked like it just rolled out of the factory. So I took the incipio case off (a monumentally difficult task), and swapped it out for the body glove (took a little persuasion, because I had thrown away all the packaging). The moment I put the body glove on the phone, I realized how much more superior it was. It is far lighter and thinner, lets me keep a better grip on the phone, looks better, allows me to slide the micro USB slot door closed, and can be taken off in seconds if I ever need access to the battery compartment. What is there to complain? I don't know about impact protection superiority, and I hope I never find that out first hand.
