I use a case (not one with a screen protector) to help against dropitis.
I like one that looks nice (though I'm not into cute or girlie) but if it
doesn't have grippiness it's no good to me.
I have grippy-cases for my smaller iDevices. I got the original Apple case
for my iPad1 because it closes up to protect the screen when I'm not using
it & it may be stuffed into my tote bag or whatnot with other stuff, get
papers & magazines dumped on top of it on the side table, etc. -- more
vulnerable than my phone which goes either into my pocket or a side-pocket
in my purse.

Subject: Re: [iPad] Cases to protect the iPhone 4S ?
IMO, For most people in an urban setting (Home, office and car) a Bumper
would suffice. The bumper surrounds the iPhone's vulnerable spots, such as
the corners and sides, protecting them from impact of a light to moderate
nature. Most 'Back snaps' come in nice looking patterns and may be
attractive, but they do not come up around the screen, so if your iPhone
takes a face-plant on the ground, I doubt this would offer much in the way
of screen protection.
Some girls and women want 'cute', go for a couple of cheapo cases from
Amazon or eBay and use this for occasional dressy times.
Businessmen and women want a professional leather case, SENA and VAJA make
wonderful stylish cases, worth checking out.
For the more 'Rugged' lifestyle, such as Murray, living in the mountains or
someone in heavy manual work, the Otterbox, though bulky is the most popular
for protection.
Another, new kid on the block is the Lifeproof case. It is a bit more
form-fitting, has water resistance and seems to be a 'civilized' looking
rugged case. Not like a 'tank such as Otterbox.
Another rugged, but versatile case is the Speck Tough armour. This is
3-parts: a hard snap-on back, rubber textured "Tire tread" thick skin, and a
belt clip/stand. You could use the back snap in city and home use, place the
rubber skin over this for the mountain weekends and have the belt clip if
you wish to use this on hikes, bikes, construction sites. (To be honest, the
Lifeproof and otterbox would cover the ports and keep dust, grime and
moisture out of the iPhone better in this circumstance) Lifeproof also has
the water resistance and makes this good for those in water-oriented things
like boating, fishing and so on.
The "Best case" is the one you will want to use. *I* could tell you what the
best case is for a purpose is, but if you find it 'ugly' or 'too bulky' you
wouldn't want to use it and so it would not be the best for you.
I have an industrial looking case from DNACaseworks.com It is metal,
requires the user to screw it onto the iPhone. It is darn cool looking and
will protect, but some find it too 'hard-edge', 'boxy' and would prefer a
metal alloy from DracoDesigns.com. I'm a real techno-geek and like the
engineering/machinist look of my DNA case.
For the big photographer, the JOBY Gorillamobile case and tripod is key.
This is a hard plastic 'bumper' style with a snap-on tripod. You can set
your phone up to do video/pictures etc. But, being the bumper style, only
surrounds the corners and sides, not the back or front.
Go with
A. Comfort in Hand
B. protection
C. Profile and function (Do you want a clip option? A place for credit
cards/business cards etc)
