I have always had dumb phones and never had cases for them. I am a phone dropper though! :eek: My usual phone dropping occurs in parking lots. Not that often, but enough that my little Nokia 5300 has little dings and scratches in it (still works pretty well.)

Well, now that I am venturing into the smart phone world with the Droid X, I am really paranoid about damaging a smart phone. They seem kind of delicate to me.

I have read the cases people are using and looked at cases, but I wish I knew more about what it means for a case to be made of one material and not another.

I'm just wondering what the pros and cons are of different kinds of materials.

Soft silicone?

Slick, plastic looking silicone (like the Amzer argyle cases)?

Rubber?

Leather?

Any other materials?

Thanks for any insight! :)
