I'm loving my Speck and screen protector combo, but I haven't dropped my phone since I got it 2 days ago either. The worst part about the Ottebox is that you can't dock it.
My recommendation is stick with what you want and if you can afford it, get the protection plan from Verizon. $11 a month is much cheaper than replacing the phone if something happens to it especially since damage can occur no matter what case you have on it, and a small price to pay for peace of mind.

$160, really? We were told full price. Maybe I should have called you before I signed my contract
By the way, I should have mentioned that I was attached to my iPod touch for a few years long before I got the phone so I do know what happens when they're dropped. I think I got pretty lucky on more than one occasion. But it still hasn't sold me an Otterbox.
Hey guys I've been looking around for cases for about a week now and everytime I look around, my mind changes on which I want to buy because there are SO MANY different cases from all these different companies.
If you can suggest a case to me with the following criteria, that would be awesome
I'm looking for a case that:
- is NOT bulky!!!
- is NOT an attention grabber
- will protect my phone from a nasty fall
- wont break my wallet
- will fit with screen protectors on back + front
- really prefer a case that has a soft, rubbery interior with and a solid shell exterior
- and last, obviously a case that fits for verizon iPhones

I agree. I do have an otterbox defender for whenever I'm doing something vigorous outside or something, but for everyday I like the feel of the naked iPhone!
