    Don’t be stingy. Spend the extra money and get an OtterBox. Better to spend a little more now on a case than a lot more later when you inevitably drop your phone with a cheap case on it.

    I tried an OtterBox... and, for me, I dropped it more with that case on than the slim leather one that I have on it now. And so bulky too.

    just my unique case I guess, but I seem to get along well with just a slim leather case.

    Looks bulky but very strong I like the fact it has a screen protector also

    IMHO, screen protectors are a waste of money... most glass on any decent phone is more durable than the screen protector that one puts on top of it. So the ones I’ve seen are more scratched up than the underlying glass would be.

    it’s like the AR Coating that places sell you for glasses... yes, they do decrease glare BUT the coating gets scratched up more than the glass lens do... making them look nasty... why? So you come back in 18 months to buy another pair of glasses... lol

    Look at Poetic Revolution cases very much like OtterBox but only $17 they have cheaper one but the $17 good. You can get them on Amazon. I have one one Android phone. They even have a kick stand. So you watch you phone at table without holding it in hand.
