I just recently went into "protection" mode on my phone. Since its only about a month old and im a clumsy teenager who is out a lot... So I just installed a screen protector and got the Ballistic Rugged SG case in blue. I LOVE it. Takes some getting used to but i can just throw my phone around again (i still did before, just had consequences). I think cases are kind of necessary. Especially on contract, but i normally dont like them. But i made an exception What do you use?
