Default help on case choice

I dont like putting cases on but sometimes I feel like I'm going to drop this thing from being so thin. I've narrowed my search down to these:

skull candy:
pros: like its slim design and fit. power button nicely accesible.
cons: gloss finish

barely there:
pros: nice matte finish. good for grip. nice slim design and fit.
cons: power button looks a little hard to get to.

Incipio:
pros: love the metallic look and nice slim design and fit.
cons: power button not clearly accesible. (like barely there case)

zagg full skin:
pros: will probably provide some grip and keep it's thin profile.
cons: less protection from drop and camera.

I like to go with the cases because my main concern is protecting the camera when I place the phone down but I want something that keeps its slim profile and grip so I dont drop it.

Also, those who have these type of cases, do you find that alot of crap and dust builds up in between the case and phone or is the fit tight enough to prevent this?

your thoughts?

I personally use the diztronic case and its the best case I've ever had on any phone. It fits tight so dust doesn't get between the case and the phone and its just thick enough to protect the camera when you lay it on a table. Don't get me wrong, its still very very slim and in my opinion gives the phone a nicer feel.

thanks. I'm not really feelin the ones that wrap around the sides to cover the front. add's a little bulk and I'd like to keep it thin but with some grip.

I have the case mate barely-there case. It's an awesome case, the finish is the best, but the power button access is non existent. DO NOT BUY. It'll make you SO frustrated to have a case that's so thin and comfortable but also so difficult to use.
