What phone do you have??
i've had hard rubberized, hard snap on, more silicone cases than you can shake a stick and and TPU cases. TPU is by far the best. My Dinc was protected with a TPU, it fit snug and looked decent, protected the device well including lip on the front to prevent the screen from making contact with the table when setting the phone face down during meetings and dates. if ever it got dirty, a quick rinse and some Dawn if you feel so inclined and all trapped pocket bits disappear.
my only complaint with TPU cases is the lack of design options. Argyle? really that's all we get?
