Best Macbook Pro Case

I bought a 13 inch Late 2013 Macbook Pro with Retina Display last week, and I was wondering what the best case there is out there. I am hoping for a protective case (not sleeve or bag) that is more of a rubbery case than a hardshell one as I have heard that the latter is not very protective of drops, which are my main concern. When I bought my Mac, the guy at the Apple store suggested a Tech 21 case which I thought looked good and protective, and I am wondering if it is as good as the sales guy said it was or if there are better cases out there.

Thanks for any help.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Keep in mind how you are going to use the MBPr...many of those cases are strong thermal insulators so the heat of the MBPr will not be removed. The aluminum case is the main heat sink for the computer, the fans are secondary. If yo put too strong of an insulator on and use the MBPr heavily, such as for gaming, you will overheat it.

Check the case for fan ports so they can move air through.

After looking at the Tech 21 website, their cases do have holes cut for fans.
