After catapulting my phone off the wall (caught the Qi charger's cable with my elbow) and dropping the phone face down 5-1/2 feet to a concrete driveway, the only case I'll use is an Otterbox Defender. (I had to clean a few leaves off the phone when I dropped it in the driveway - that's been the total damage so far.) If I'm looking for a new phone and Otterbox hasn't come out with a Defender case for it yet, I'll email them and ask if they're planning to. If not, that phone is no longer on the list. That's how good I think the case is. Bulky, but it feels like a tank as far as build quality.
