Better to have an ugly case on your fancy phone than to have a shattered screen on your fancy phone.

Same here. Both my wife and I have had iPhones since the original, and always put them in Otter Box cases. After all these years and phones we've never broken one, even when dropped on concrete (including once from a horse standing on concrete. That's a long fall). The Defender case also give some protection in the rain as well. I really like the clip-in holster, too, which keeps the phone secure but easy to access. http://www.rolexforums.com/images/smilies/dude.gif
