    Lightbulb Best drop-protection case?

    So I just got my new droid incredible yesterday, and when the best buy guy offered insurance for $10/month, I said no cuz I probably can't afford it, but it made me realize how vulnerable my new phone is to being toast after a single drop from my hand to a hard ground.

    So I'm asking you guys, what do you think is the best shock-proof case for the HTC incredible? As in, if I drop it from my hand to the ground, it won't crack the screen or anything like it might if I didn't have a case otherwise?

    I don't need a holster or anything, I just carry it in my pocket.

    Otterbox looks like just a skin to me.

    How is a thin applied skin going to protect against shock?

    Not at all - there's 3 layers of protection,a touchscreen membrane, a hard plastic shell, then over the shell is a rubber jacket. Most cases are this way,but they make a few different styles,depending on the device. check out their site:

    Whoa, that's expensive. If most cases are that way then what's a cheaper one? Probably one I could just snap on or off?

    Impact resistant cases aren't cheap.

    They're worth every penny - I've used otterbox on every device I've had for the past 5 years. But until they have one for the Incredible, check this out if you want something a bit less pricy, but still good protection:
    HTC DROID Incredible PB31200 Cases Store - Fommy.com
    I'm using this one temporarily - not too bad for the price:

    Amzer High Gloss TPU Skin Case - Black For HTC DROID Incredible PB31200 - Fommy.com
    That amzer case looks great. How is it different from the otterbox? Like is it worse? And if so what makes the otterbox soo much better?
