When it comes to protecting my smartphone, I only buy cases from http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/. There is a trust factors which was developed a year ago when my iphone dropped from a height of about 6 feet .
@Ashley for me I guess it all comes down to how much protection you want and how big you are willing to go in a phone case. I have several cases that I have bought or tested and currently only use two on a regulars basis. A Incipio Atlas for rugged protection when I travel and a Tech 21 Impact Band for everyday use. I will say that the SLXTreme-5 is interesting because it not only offers a high level of protection but it also has the backup battery and solar panel, thats one of the reason I posted about it.
