I have always liked Seidio products, so when I got my Inspire I bought the Active case. Fits well without adding a lot of bulk and I feel it adds a bit more protection than the Surface case. As far as screen protectors, I am sold on the Skinomi brand. No orange peel effect. Looks like glass. When I had one on my previous phone I got a scratch on the screen and the Skinomi repaired itself. The next day you couldn't even tell anything had happened to it. Immediately bought one for the Inspire. They also make full phone protection pieces.
