3GS cases

Just curious to what people think are the best cases.

I have researched around and think I have narrowed it down. I need a case that isn't just silicon because they stretch to much for me and I sometimes drop my phone.

Does anyone have experience with either of these cases: if so list pros and cons

I've only used the Incase from your links.
The Incase so far provides the best protection from shock and scratches. Just make sure you have to put some tapes on the top and bottom bezel. The top of the case has certain numerical print which may engrave on your SIM tray after pressure. The bottom bezel and bottom back of the phone may be scratched if you keep pulling your slider in and out for docking or simply enjoying from the feeling of moving mechanism. Some dust particles may be caught in between which do all the scratches.
The solution is easy, apply transparent tapes around the silver bezel kind of like the Invisible Shield but don't apply any at the back because you may have very hard time to pull your phone out.

The Switcheasy Neo and Rebel look interesting and I would like to give them a try.

TO roaminggnome and Erik:
I put a post on here a week or so ago asking input on the Vaja cases, but no response. I really like the look of them. In particular I was looking at the ivolution. I was wondering about the bulk of them, the dimensions given seem a bit large. If I really splurged and went for the ivolution silver, the depth for some reason is larger than the plain. Also, the interior appears to be very smooth...any scratching noticeable? Alsoam wondering about the exposed corner where the camera is. Any input would be great! Didn't mean to intrude on this thread but, as I noticed the posts regarding Vaja, I thought I might get some answers.

Thanks

I've been using the switch easy Rebel for a while now. It offers good protection and u can easily customize it with different colors. I never liked hard cases because its almost certain that it will scratch the phone. you can find these cases on ebay and they come with a free belt holder that fits perfectly with the case on.
