Defender all the way. The added bulk doesn't bother me a bit. Actually improves my grip when gaming. Most people I know, male or female, use the biggest, bulkiest Otterbox available.

I would never trust a case that didn't protect the camera lenses on the back of the phone. Which is why I haven't sprung for the 4000Mah battery......
