Best case IMO is the Seidio Innocase II Surface, it slips on and off easily, but is secure. The surface of the case is just a little thicker than the lens, so when dropped an a relatively flat surface (parking lot or sidewalk) it protects the lens, and same for the touch screen. I picked up the Innocase Rugged Combo Value Pack, for $69.95, it gives you the Innocase II Surface, plus a holster, the Rugged skin & skeleton (the skin is thick rubber that fits over the Innocase II surface, and the skeleton goes over the rubber), plus a second holster that works with the Rugged skin.

Won't do you much good to show off your red batter cover, but I've dropped mine in a parking lot and driveway with no damage. I use the Innocase II Surface & holster day to day, and when I'll be somewhere needing more protection add the Rugged skin & holster. Maybe give them a call and see if you can get the combo with a color other than the standard black.
