Should be a third option for both. Sometimes I'm naked, like when I'm around the house or just going out real quick. If I'm going somewhere that I will be using my phone a lot and there is a chance I might drop my phone ie a football game or to the park, I go with my orange TPU ebay case for protection. If I'm going to school or work I use my black leather hard case with the kickstand. Its more upscale and the kickstand comes in handy.
