Any consensus yet on which protective case is best?

I got this one from Ebay and I love it.

I know what the answer is for ME.

This one. Most of the phone is covered in two layers of protection but the phone still feels thin. Were my Spirit to get zapped out my hand by a meteorite tomorrow, I'd get Another One of these cases for it's replacement. ;)

I might also try this one, very similar to mine but 2 of the corners are also dual protected.

I tried to like the similar one with a stand, and the stand Was nice but greatly added to the width of the case and phone, Too Much to warrant the case...

This was the case one IF you absolutely Must have a stand.

I've been trying to decide between the two without the stand.

Thanks.

whatever you do don't buy one of those hard plastic snap cases that doesn't cover the top and bottom. I loved it when my wife picked it our for me in the store, nice and sleek but it damaged the phone more than it being naked.

I love TPU cases

This case is basically a Silicone case which is then "sandwiched" by two pieces of a hybrid of silicon/plastic.

It appears to offer great protection and feels great in your hand as well as being "grippy"

Well, I can offer up a protection data point on this bottom stand case.

I've dropped my Spirit a couple times onto grass but a hour ago was it's first 3' dive onto concrete.

I THINK (not real clearly apparent) that it impacted on a corner of the case.

No damage whatsoever.

Works for me.

Nope. The one in post # 3. I'll see if I can find one on ebay. Just to let you know, I recently dropped my LG Spirit onto the sidewalk from 4' talking it out of my inside jacket pocket and it bounced on the lower left corner, bounced and landed screen side down and nothing bad happened.

It's basically a 3-piece case that snaps together. 1 part silicone encased between 2 parts of grippy plastic.

The song I was listening to didn't pause or skip or stop and no damage to the phone.

I rarely, if ever, drop stuff especially phones and wasn't even going to get one. I rode "bareback" on my iPhone for about a year before getting a case. Same with my LG Motion which I never got a case for before I got rid of it.

Even though I have big hands, bigger phones tend to result in more drops so I bought the case in post #3 on ebay about a year or so ago for about $7.00 and it finally came in handy.

I actually like the feel of it because it is very "grippy" and the phone feels too small in my hand without it as I have big hands.

Great value for $7.00
