That is a good question because truthfully, I like the feel of the phone in my hand by itself, but I would hate like the dickens to drop it or fall with it or something and have it chip or scratch.

Do we really need to defend the phone that much? I am happy with a screen protector, so what am I missing by not having a defender? Is it a matter of personal choice or these cases are really advisable? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raul A.

In fact, I highly recommend them. I'm just a person who is a free spirit and likes trying new things and different things to experiment. So, I'm currently using some cases which are made of a tpu rubber, this is a bit of a harder rubber, and doesn't feel like the silicon rubber that the Impact case feels like. This means less friction, but also less catching on things like in the pocket. It also means a bit of less bulk. In fact, I just got an order for 9 tpu cases which are all different colors ranging from purple, to blue, to clear, to neon yellow. They don't cover the bottom part of the screen like the impact case from Otter Box does, but it does form-fit the phone very well and really let's it shine through. The nice thing about these cases is that you can put them on and take them off with ease, yet they stay on the phone very nicely. I also like the fact that I can go back to my impact case whenever I want. The one I don't use any more is the Defender case. I finally got tired of the bulk, but again, this isn't anything bad against Otter Box, since that's the purpose of the case. -- Raul A. Gallegos How do you write zero in Roman numerals?
