Default Cases

I've searched but I couldn't seem to find a thread, I'm wondering what cases do all you guys have? I just got the hero and I want to protect it, especially the screen. So who has what and who likes what?

I use the bodyglove case. I like the way it looks and feels, but do have 2 complaints:

1. When typing in portrait mode, it is hard for my to hit the keys at the edges of the screen (so i normally type in landscape mode, lol!)

2. If you DO happen to drop your phone, sometimes this case pops open. That being said, I've not had my phone damaged when this has happened, but you still should be aware.

I plan on trying the otterbox myself, just to see if it is better, but for the most part I am completely happy with the bodyglove.

A little pricey for a case but I love it. Great fit and function. Fits perfectly, no complaints.

I have the body glove case, and absolutely love it. i switched from the HTC silicon rubber case to it, and have not looked back. love the integrated belt clip. gives full body protection to the Hero, except it does not protect the screen from scratches... but you should have no worries there since it is glass. hth

Has anyone compared the otterbox impact and commuter series? Is the commuter series suppose to be more rugged? I can get the commuter series from newegg for the same price as the impact normally is. Reading their descriptions on the otterbox website aren't very helpful in differentiating the series. The commuter is a hard shell where the impact is a soft one right?

Seidio Innocase II combo. Absolutely love it. Adds almost no bulk to the phone at all.

It comes in other colors too.
