Seidio Case(Will only fit with Seidio battery cover)
$29.95+Shipping
You can order just the battery cover without the battery by calling customer service. $14.99+Shipping from my understanding 1-832-204-1118

Seidio Case with Holster
Will update once I test the protection and other little things.

QCell
Better protection than the Hyperion but only 2 color options. But, full coverage screen protectors will get lift with this case. It'll provide better protection from drops than the Hyperion.

Hyperion Honey Comb
Has the most color options but the volume and power buttons are very hard to push. I wouldn't recommend it for protection either, since its very very very thin.
