Default Cases that give you access to the sides of the screen?

I'm just wondering because I enjoy using the Quick ICS Browser if there is a case that lets you easily touch the edges of the screen? Currently using an otterbox and it protrudes up enough that it makes it impossible without greatly increasing the distance from the side resulting in it popping up more than necessary.

I've seen threads on feather cases and a few others but I couldn't tell from the pictures how up they came on the sides.

Bestbuy platinum case goes 2mm from the edge of the visible portion of the screen. Sometimes you run into trouble spots.

Just throwing that out there.

I use the Diztronic TPU case almost exclusively and I have no issues at all bringing up the quick rings in ICS Browser. As much as I don't like TPU cases, it's actually really nice. Real slim and fits like a glove.

I love the diztronic cases. I have a black one and a matte one. The matte gets dirty easily is my only real complaint.

Question? All of the cases that show the screen risk the glass getting cracked from a drop correct? I had the att stripe shell on mine and was getting out of the car and forgot it was in my lap and it landed flat on the glass. It was crackaroo. I never drop my phone but woops that one time. Now I am paranoid. I think I am getting a defender today and it is a real shame because I love the design of the phone anybody know of a case that will be good protection and show off any of the phone?

I did the same when I was on vacation I dropped mine right on the top left corner of the screen face down on concrete, and my phone was fine not a single scratch or crack on it in my diztronic tpu case.

Nice. I will prob downgrade to something like that sooner or later but for now the defender with the plastic screen popped out with the zagg hd is how I am rolling. Just a little paranoid.
