Otterbox Defender or Other???

Hello,


I've been looking into some cases for my iPhone 4. I recently had an Incipio Silicrylic case, but the hard portion of it wasn't durable and broke the first time I dropped it. That was several months ago and since then I have been using an Apple Bumper. So, I've been looking into a new case to get.


After a few days, I narrowed down to the Otterbox Defender or the IvySkin Quattro 4. Both cases seem nice; however, the Otterbox seems to be the most durable but seems to be bulky (does it still fit well in a pocket?) and the Quattro 4 has gotten conflicting reviews about the protective glass and the case not staying together but not as bulky and looks pretty slik.


For my case I'm looking for something that will definetely protect my phone from a reasonable drop height but also look good and maybe not bulky. As long as it can fit in a pocket fine it's ok with me.


Lemme know what you think about either case or if there's another one out there that may be better.


Thanks!

iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.2

I have used the OtterBox Defender for several months. It was not very pocketable, not the mention the recharging flap was very irritating. Being a heavy user I decided to look into a battery case. They are all quite good but ofcourse I went with the Mophie Juice Pack plus and a very clear screen protector. could not be happier. I dropped it a few times and it never came apart. I won't go into the battery life but the convience is there as well as the build quality. a bit on the expensive side but well worth it and with screen protector I get my retina display back!
