This meets none of your criteria :-) but my Otterbox Defender case is the nuts. I NEVER worry about my phone.

I use the Otterbox Commuter. It's like the defender in a light version. I can still carry the phone in my pocket with no problem but have some good protection.

I used to use the commuter. The 3gs version was my favorite case every. The iphone 4 version just didn't work for me. The piece for the top was sharp to my ear, the earphone plug hole was too small for aftermarket headphones, it broke within a few months, etc.

I will say that they sent me a replacement no questions asked, but I just didn't like it for the iphone 4.

I love my Otterbox Defender but I am really looking to grab a Griffin Survivor. As Vin stated, these won't meet your requirements...but I have nothing to worry about with my Iphone. :-)

I have been using one of these, it is incredibly cheap and it has saved my phone from quite a few drops. Also it is very low profile, and flexible without being tacky.

Otter box defender. I love it.
[Reply]

Yeah, I've had the defender as well. It's just not for me. On the balance between my phone surviving a nuclear war and me being able to carry it around every day in a front pocket without noticing it, I choose convenience.

Good luck. I've scoured Best Buy.
Either it's durable but has too much rubber or
Great protection, but it's 2 piece,
Way too expensive for what I don't want.

I've seen a case that costs $80, but it makes the Phone 100% waterproof. I'll probably splurge on that. I'm stupid, I know.

My wife swears by the otter box (she does museum work) and in on high places a lot Nd has dropped her phone numerous times and the phone has survived the drop. Only downfall I see is the pretty big case which is a pain to keep in your pocket.

I have nothing to compare it to & have only had it for a few days, but I really like my Otterbox Commuter.

I had the otterbox defender - great bombproof case but bulky and would not work in a pocket. Ok for my ACU shoulder pocket but not dress uniform or civvies

I just switched to the waterproof case you are talking about. Picked it up for $70. It's thinner and smooth so it does work in a pocket. It's not as rugged but it does meet mil spec drop standards as well as water and dust proof. I really like it so far.

What is that one called?

Otterbox Comuter here too.

It is the lifeproof case

I use this

For the screen I use a reflective screen protector that doubles as a mirror when the phone is off
