what type of material is ideal for a case for max protection

[pairenoid]

i think ill buy this
Amazon.com: TPU-Cases Smoke GeoTPU Flexible TPU Case & Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S II (Model SGH-i777) **ONLY FOR AT&T VERSION** (TPU-Cases Retail Packaging): Cell Phones & Accessories
but i dont know how much ill be protected

i see other ones made of TPU for 20 bux, but im guessing its for color/brand name

i felt i should get a HARD cover so im still on the fence

i mainly care about being able to lay my phone up or down protecting the glass of the camera/touch screen so the case should add some depth but i dont want bulk

I've never used cases. Always loved using them naked. This device feels so good with nothing, that I don't want to ruin it. If I were to get one, I would snag the Ballistic case that AT&T sells in store for $30.

its for protection, but more so to keep the freshness in case i sell the phone in 2 years you know for resale purposes

but mainly so i can put it on the ground/table without worrying about scratches/dust
