I purchased the Otterbox Commuter case (the only one they make for the shift) and i love it. However, it has flaps covering ALL ports including charger, and headphones. If you don't like flaps then don't get it. I do like how it covers the volume rocker and the power button. I can toss my phone onto a solid counter and not worry about it (which comes in handy where I work) the screen protector is easy to apply and completely covers the front of the phone. One of the little things that I liked is that it covers the htc and sprint logos (don't know why i like that so much.) Also the case is slanted down to the screen which is really comfortable and convenient when swiping down the notification bar. I previously used the Siedio active case/holster. The case itself is fine and protects the phone very well, but the holster was flimsy and snapped off the clip when i was getting out of my car (i wear the phone on my left side) The only thing i don't like about any of the cases is how the top half covers the CAPS lock and symbol lights, but that's not an option right now. Hope this information helped you!
