    I am very hard on iPhone cases. I keep bouncing around to different brands and styles. I am currently using a Lifeproof case. Though I have broken it twice. I am also a fan of the Otterbox Defender.

    So, what is your case of choice? Do you use a screen protector?

    Those are two of the best cases. You must be hard on them to break those cases. I use the Otterbox with a Zagg screen protector.

    Keith,

    I have broken the charging port cover on the Lifeproof twice.

    The Otter I have wrecked the screen cover. Then ripped it out and used the Zagg. Not a huge fan of the Otterbox bulk.

    How do you carry your phone? On a belt clip? I always look for shorts/pants that have the extra pockets that fit a phone....Columbia seem to have the best selection. I either carry in a pocket or in the cup holder in my cart. It seems that those who carry it on a belt clip are the hardest on them as they always get bumped or snagged on something during the course of the day. Just my .02

    You wear shorts? A tuxedo should always be worn by the superintendent. Dressing as trailer trash diminishes our rightful respect as "elite". I usually carry a loaf of sliced Russian black bread slathered with Beluga caviar. It may be messy, but it is very tasty. And the girls driving the bar car will usually help you clean off any caviar drippings. You won't have to do anything....they will gently clean you. With a smile, and perhaps a question about your salary. You should always lie.

    But......no flirting. That's unprofessional.

    I've been through two Otterbox covers and 3 belt clips. One Otterbox cover got smashed off the bull dozer tracks when I was building tees. So ever since then, I have been a little more careful getting off the bull dozer. I don't have any screen protectors and I constantly have to use a q-tip to get the camera screens clear to take pictures that aren't fuzzy. All-in-all the Otterbox is good for me.

    I'm using the Ballistic hard core case without the silicone cover. works awesome. easy in and out of pocket with awesome protections of the phone.

    Keith,

    I do use a belt clip. I don't like carrying it in my pocket. The Otterbox is WAY to bulky for a pocket.

    I do often keep it in the cup holder as well.

    I have one of the earlier Ballistic cases. Maybe I'll give it another try without the silicone.

    My biggest complaint with the Lifeproof case is I can't hear the damn ringer even at highest volume. It's to muffled.

    I am really drawn to the camo Otterbox case. I have a BestBuy reward zone cert I need to use up. May get me a camo case.

    It's okay JWall, it's only Floriduh. We hosted our annual Florida Redneck Goatropers Association Golf Tournament today. It was swell...plenty of camo shorts. Hard to tell if any were using the camo phone case though.

    Yea I tried these cases too and finally gave up and started keeping it in my pocket without a case. Even though I never carry anything in my pockets it became confortable after a while.

    Ballistic Cases are the best I have found by far (after going through several otter box defenders and a few other brands) http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/iphone-4-4s-ballistic-hc-series-case

    The best case is arguably the Lifeproof case. Unlike Otterbox, Lifeproof cases are water proof.

    Lifeproof cases are shock, dust, dirt, water, snow proof.
