Default Curious about the attraction to the TPU cases

I recently bought a HTC One S and a couple of cases for it. I bought the Ballistic case and a Diztronic TPU case. The ballistic seems to offer more protection for my phone, but the tpu case attracts next to nothing in pocket lint and dust. I prefer the protection the Ballistic seems to have over the TPU. My question is this Do the tpu style cases really offer good fall protection despite their thinner construction? If so then could some one try to explain why it works better.

For anyone wondering the ballistic doesn't really add much to the bulk of the phone but still more than the TPU. I can uplaod Pics of either or both for those that are curious about the looks of either one

I bought the Ballistic case and in my opinion, I feel that it adds a ton of bulk to the phone. After looking at pictures of the Diztronic case, I've been really tempted to pick that one up instead just because of the slim form factor.

As for protection, I'd feel safer with the Ballistic case obviously, but like I said, I'd much rather have a slim phone to carry around with me.

I'm sorry I didn't really answer your question, but could you provide insight as to your opinion on the Diztronic?

As I said I have both, Personally I use the Diztronic over the ballistic at this point. The main reason being the silicon component of the ballistic case attracts so much more lint and dust that seems to stick to it like adhesive. I feel that the Diztronic case offers reasonable protection and doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone. It may not protect from a fall as well as the ballistic but I can always switch to that case if I need more protection for whatever reason. I have the Matte finish black one and my GF has the shiny black. I prefer the Matte finish for it's looks and lack of fingerprints. It goes on really easily and all the buttons are just as accesible as without the case.
