Hey Allen Tech 21 is awesome as an option. There are tons out there and it really mostly depends on personal choice. For example, I have friends who swear by the otter-box series of cases because they love how the cases themselves work. I use life-proof. I'm a bit of an extremist with my phone though and willingly take it places no Iphone would want to go, pun intended. Life-proof cases come with a life time warrenty, if I'm remembering right, but for me, most importantly it provides impact protecttion up to 9 feet. Website rates them as 6, but mine's taken a header off a 10 foot drop and came out perfectly. Again, website rates water-proof protecttion up to 10 feet,but I've had mine down to about 15 feet with absolutely no leaks. They come in a wide variety of colors. They don't add much bulk at all. My only warning to anyone using any kind of case advertising water-proof protecttion is this, always check your seals before getting in water if you can. most best buy stores carry life-proof and a number of others. If you can, you might want to go to a store in your area, and look around. Ask a store employee if they'd mind to take a couple of cases out that you like the looks of. Most employees are good about this. Hold the cases in your hand, maybe even try your phone out in them. It won't work for life-proof, because of what you have to do to get the phone in the case, but it's almost garronteed someone at best buy will have one and they usually are eager to show them off. life-proof cases are meant to be used with the phone staying inside at all times.
