ive always heard otter boxs were dope in protecting, but they don't look the best.

Get a Lifeproof Case.

It's a lot slimmer and less bulkier then the Otter box, it's more like a regular case.
But it's waterproof (something the otter box isn't!), shockproof and dust proof.

Also I do not consider the Lifeproof a looker but the Otterbox is downright revolting to look at.

I have an otter box case for my iPod. Really good and really durable, my last griffin case was really good to, and it was very dustproof/sealed. Would recommend both brands.

soft cases protect better than hard. they absorb the shock

i have the apple leather case for mine. not the most protective but slides easily out of your pocket, feels good, looks good. I've done the lifeproof route, but if your not a retard with your phone or if you dont have to worry about your phone getting wet than its a little overkill. and otterbox's become shitty after a year... rubber gets all stretched out and doesnt hold its shape.

I really like my vans case...... the only thing that kinda sucks about it is if you are wearing jeans is it is hard to take out of your pocket.

I broke my otter box before I broke my phone. The rubber flaps like to rip off. If you don't have headphones with a super skinny cable they don't work all too well. And if you're really rough with your phone the plastic piece starts to crack and break

I feel like living a moderately active lifestyle or drinking four beers and up warrants a Lifeproof case considering it's glass and almost everyone i know has a cracked to shattered screen

I've owned many cases including an otterbox and by far the best one has been the lifeproof. I've dropped it in the toilet a few times and even ran it over with my car, my phone seems indestructible in this.

buy an otterbox. I thought they were pretty expensive for a case but then I checked ebay. They are all over ebay for cheap. I have on one my iphone 5 and love it. I have had the phone for probably a little less than a year and it still looks brand new. It has fallen, been thrown, and much more and the otterbox protected it everytime.

I saw the video on bootleg lifeproofs and i see clearly fake otterboxs in the mall all the time. I wouldn't trust ebay as far as i could throw it for something that's not actually waterproof or protecting my phone.
