I need a phone case. I dropped my phone, broke the glass, got a new phone through insurance and now I need to get a case or something. I'm scared I'm going to drop it again!! lol! What's a good one? What's a "bad" one? Thanks in advance. I haven't been on here in quite a while, but I love the advice I get here.  |

I have always had a Speck case on my phones and have really liked them.

I think I have tried everyone out there. The one I have had for a year now is a Piel Frama leather case. LOVE it! I have dropped by iPhone 6 several times, and my phone is always fine.

Speck! Has rubber around the screen to protect is, but slim enough to slide in your pocket.

I aslo have the Tech 21 case in clear with an orange border. Love it! Grips really well and a great case. Got mine at the Apple store but have seen them at target too.

Love Spek...always had one on my iPhone 5 then my husband talked me into a lifeproof (nuud, DH and kids have Fre) when we were going on vacation and I've loved it since I got it! Just got the iPhone 6 last weekend with a new lifeproof to go on it! Keeps the slim feeling of the phone which is what I like but also protects against dirt, water, etc. They are pricey though!

I have a Speck case on my iPhone 6. I've had it two months and am happy with it. Hubby has the Otterbox and likes it, but it's bulkier.

Right now I have a Spigen, but my most favorite cases are iskin. They don't have cases for the Note. |

Speck brand: Speck phone cases
I have dropped my phone a few times,mane you can't tell at all. LOVE IT. For ME, I have not had any luck with Otter boxes. 2 have broken when dropped, and they are too bulky to fit in my pockets. They are like bricks. |

I think an Otter Box is the safest case made but I really don't like the look of them. My case is leather over a metal frame that opens like a book with a window so I can read the time/date without opening it. I got it in a mall kiosk but there isn't a name visible when the phone is snapped into it. I love this case.

We had Otterboxes and I usually loved mine. The one thing I didn't like was the tiny space between the case and phone that sometimes made texting challenging. We switched to LifeProof cases this last June. There is no top part of the case to have a space with air. The protective covering is applied before the case goes on it. It is waterproof and apparently Lifeproof too.

I'm not happy with Otterbox at the moment. Grandson had his iPhone in one and it failed to keep his phone from breaking. I got my son an Otterbox for his iPod at Christmas and just had to ship his iPod for service. The home button is depressed and doesn't respond. I'm thinking it has to do with (I could be wrong) the button cover on the Otterbox.. He's had his old iPod for 8 years and has never dropped it or had any trouble and it didn't have any type of case. Because he's living with 4 other guys now, I got the Otterbox more for the fact one of the other guys might grab it and drop it. When it gets back, I'm not sure what I'm going to do for protection.

I had an Otterbox for my 4S, and it was great. When I upgraded, the reviews for the Otterboxes were not as good. I got an i-Blason Armorbox and love it. It's got a screen protector that's firm; it's not just one of those stick-on things. The downside is that it's a bit bulky. It still goes in my pocket, but it no longer has the slim elegance that makes the iPhone 6 so attractive... I figure that a working, intact phone is better than a broken, pretty one! |

Otterbox Defender. My phone a iPhone 5S is accident prone. We bought ours from Groupon, but Amazon sells them as well.
There are two different new cases out for the Otterbox, one that allows the digital ID and one that does not. I have the one that doesn't allow the digital ID and I think it offers more protection over the home screen than the first one.

Glad to see someone else has one.  I have had Otterbox. I have had Lifeproof. I have had Speck, and more. I love my Piel Frama the best!!! |
