I have the Seidio Rugged case and dropped my phone from hip level onto asphalt. All it has is a thin scratch on the corner of the plastic shell. The rugged case provides good protection, but adds a ton of bulk. My wife has the Seidio Active case on her EVO and I think it's a much better compromise that still offers a ton of protection.
The rugged case is an Innocase II (hard plastic), covered by a silicon sleeve, covered by an exoskeleton. The active case is just the silicone sleeve with the exoskeleton. It's much thinner and just as protective; my three year old daughter dropped it several times onto concrete, tile floors, and once onto a glass plate which shattered, yet the EVO looks as good as new.
Aside from the bulk, my only other complainss about the Rugged case are that the silicone doesn't fit as tight as that of the Active case, and it leaves a greasy/powdery residue on the inner hard case (Innocase II). I do like the fact that I can remove the silicon and exoskeleton and just use the Innocase, which I'm comfortable with sticking in my pocket.
I think the best solution is the Active Case with the holster. It fits the phone very tight and offers great protection. Another great option, though not as protective as the Active case, would be the Innocase II with the horizontal leather case.
