Default Which Case Should I Buy? (For someone who drops phones often)

Hi,

I've recently purchased a Palm Centro from Sprint (via the SERO plan). This is my first smart-phone and I'm quite worried I might break it soon. I have quite a long and calamitous history of dropping my cellular objects (about twice a day). So far, in my 8 days of Centro-Life, I have only dropped it once, and onto a soft surface (bed). I was wondering what type of cases you fine centro-users would recommend to a fellow like me.

I've narrowed it down to the polycarbonate (Air Case) and rubberized cases, but I can't make my mind up - the metal case is out fo the question.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

I use the Seidio Rubberized Hard Case. It's very form fitting, helps protect the Centro and changed the color of my white Centro to blue! I do recommend it.

I ended up buying the Palm Air case - it got really good reviews, and some people said that there phones were a-ok after falling 6+ feet because of the Air case.

Thanks for the reply though.

The Air Case (from Palm) has held up pretty damn well. I've dropped my phone maybe half-a-dozen times, and each time the case took most of the brunt. One of last couple times the casing came off completely after the initial impact, which was a bit odd, but both case and phone were unscathed.

I just realized you asked about skin cases, so ignore my post!

I really like the Body Glove. It's easy to remove and exposes all elements veeded well.
