Pretty much looking for what the title says. I've been perusing Amazon and other sites looking at the most popular cases today, and I'm surprised at how none of them appear to meet my needs exactly.
The only reason I'm getting a case is to protect the screen in the event of a drop (say, from ear-level onto concrete, as a worst-case scenario). In other words, it needs to have a decent bezel on the front, preferably with a two-layer (soft+hard) design. As long as it accomplishes that, then the cheaper and smaller/thinner, the better. A plain, black design is preferable.
Now, a few of the ones I've browsed have come close. For example, the ACase Superleggera Pro. Unfortunately, the dealbreaker there is that the silicone layer covers the volume rocker and power button -- I definitely want those to be naked for maximum usability.
In all honesty, the two-piece rubberized snap-on designs like this appeal to me. Nice, thick bezel/frame protecting the screen (though, will a hard-shell alone prevent screen breakage on hard impact?). I may go with that if no one has any better suggestions, but ideally it would be similar to that, with a silicone layer beneath.
