How do you protect your DINC?

Griffin Reveal Case with a screen protector.

This case is the most amazing case I've ever had for any phone. The quality of it is unmatched, and unlike other cases, it fits the phone perfect, there's not one bit of movement, the sides don't flap out like on cheap rubbery cases.

My praises wont do this case justice, the video can somewhat, but to actually have it, and feel your phone go into that case for the first time is a dream.

naked since the day i bought it. never a broken screen. no scratches. dropped it once on pavement and, luckily, it didn't break anything.. just scuffed the shell up. i hate cases. its like putting a car bra on.. sure, it protects your pretty car.. but it makes your pretty car look like ****. replacement screens (the whole housing.. not just the screen itself) are $20 on amazon.. the "good" cases cost you about that + add tons of bulk to your phone. screen protectors add an awful feel to your touch screen. so, naked i shall remain..



and now that i've said this.. i will drop my phone tomorrow and smash my screen.

i've got the griffin invisible shield. I like that it's transparent in the back, but I dont really like the added bulk

I used Steinheil clear until the edges started peeling up then just got the cheap ones from buy.com, I didn't see much of a difference.

I am using a Steinheil ultra clear screen protector and an Otterbox Commuter case.

Otterbox Commuter w/ an unfortunate Zagg shield installed. Got the Inc second hand and it already had a couple of "flaws," (or character traits, ), so I wanted to ensure that I, personally, did no harm. .

Now it's used primarily by my fiancee as a Sudoku machine.

I honestly have my phone naked, I've had it since it was first released too. I've dropped it only a couple times and in doing so have a small scuff on the battery case. I had the back case get a small nick taken out of it when taking it off one day, oddly enough not even from the small drop it had.

Overall though, zero scratches (knock on wood) on the screen and no easily noticeable wear and tear.

I have an otterbox commuter case and the screen protector which came with it. it was $10 on amazon and worth every penny. The protector is a little scratched up from me having dropped the phone and the fact that i keep my phone in the same pocket as my keys (not necessarily the best idea but it is a habit which i formed and will never break) at any rate, if you peel it all away I still have a beautiful and clean and protected phone and the case really isn't that bulky. I would highly recommend it. I would post the link to amazon but because I don't have enough posts on this site to post outside links which is inherently the reason i so seldom post on this site..... trying to fix that though, so I hope this helps!

I have the otterbox, not the commuter series but the other one. This thing is like a brick ****house, it removes all traces of sexiness out of the phone, and bulks up the overall package with the belt clip/case provided.

I don't think it gets much more protected than this thing offers. The hardshell plastic case, with the rubber surround, plus the clear plastic lense that goes over your screen, it's damn near indestructable. As I said, it's not sexy but then again, I don't wear a suit and tie to work, I'm a mechanic so I need something to protect this phone to it's max.

When I take the case apart to clean the inside of the case and little dust that gets on phone, it looks like a brand new phone, because it's so well protected. You pay more for otterbox but their second to none in my opinion.

Used a Seidio ruggedized case for a while. The camera flap got irritating because it wouldn't stay pinned back. Then I took the ruggedized part off, revealing the "SURFACE" case. That was pretty nice, but I finally ditched that too, because although it was well-designed and didn't add much bulk, it obstructed the Incredible's beauty. I still use the Seidio screen protector that came with the case. Was pretty cheap on Amazon, and I'd recommend the combo it if you absolutely need your phone to be ruggedized (and if it's still available). I did my research at the time and the comparable Otterbox case has a problem with dust getting under its built in screen protector due to there being a hole in it for the optical joystick.

I just set this up this morning (when I bought the phone, it had some good, but generic screen protector on it, but it was severely dinged up.

It's a blue Amzer silicon case, and a mirrored protector from Tmart. I'm not hugely thrilled with either, but for a total cost of about 8 bucks, I'm not complaining either. The Amzer Case is not quite as blue as I had expected (in the pictures it is a much brighter, almost neon blue, but as you can see, the actual case in hand is more of a primary blue) and it is also loose along the sides.

The Tmart mirrored protector is similarly not quite as advertized. While it is thick, and very smooth in action, it's not a perfect mirror (I can still see the verizon logo through it) and it has a very distinct prismatic effect on the screen contents. Still, it is a very thick plastic, and will protect the screen physically quite well.

Once I can save up the twenty-some dollars, I'll probably upgrade to an Otterbox.

Still using the same setup from almost a year ago. The only drop my phone EVER suffered was from my dog jumping out of the car and the charge cord got stuck on her leg and my phone went flying. My SD card ate it but the phone only got scuffed on the top corners which prompted me to buy the silicone case.

I have an Otterbox Commuter, with a screen protector aswell.

I've dropped my phones countless times on concrete, the floor, steps, and it always seems to hold up. Love it.

I also have a Seidio case but can't remember whats it called but it is a two part shell with a soft inner cover and a hard external cover. it kept my phone safe for two years but the hard case is starting to fall apart. Not bad for two years of abuse. My phone looks like mint when i take the case off. Also i have a screen protector from zag.

I've been using the Seidio SURFACE Case with the Seidio Ultimate Screen Guard for several years. After several drops, still going strong. The case has caused some minor wear around the edges, but that's most likely from dirt/dust that I work in.

+1 for the Sedio Innocase Active. It has been a great case for the two years I have had it.

 

[Kaepernick]

Used to use the Otterbox Commuter case. It really is a tank of a case. It withstood quite a bit of heavy usage and some drops. Stopped using it when I upgraded the battery to a big ol' 3500mah Seidio and the case wouldn't fit anymore.

I have a cheap $2 snap on rubberized hard case that feels like the OEM battery door, and for $2, it acts like a $30 case. Protects it from falls and scratches. Usually if I drop it, the case will withstand like 10 drops, and then it might crack. So I just order another one. $2 why not.
