If anything should happen to my phone, I hope the Asurion policy through ATT will take care of me like that too. If not, ATT can go to hell and I'll leave them the second I get a chance.
Speaking of cases, I bought both Spigen Tough Armor and Slim. For hinge protection, I went with the Tough Armor, but the thicker frame surrounding the front outer display was just driving me nuts. Thought I would eventually not notice, but that never happened. I switched to the Slim case and then bought Spigen's film based hinge protector. It's just like the old Zagg film when they first started, which was exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, the only way to get that was to get the glass screen protector that's proprietary shaped to fit only with the two cases I mentioned. I have it a shot at installation, but could not get it lined up to get all the gas bubbles out so I just threw it away.
Although I lose the beefy hinge protection, I can at least enjoy the functionality of the outer display again. The hinge protector never had the issue with the springs popping out and scratching the hinge, but I still got some slight scratches from plastic rubbing.
