I would like a tight fitting silicone cover that doesn't slip off the diamond, yet also be able to put it in my pocket. A hard cover/case would be my last option. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated!

I've only tried out one case on my Diamond so far. It was a cheap ebay one (about $5 dollars). It's one of those clear hard plastic cases. Even though it was cheap, it works great! I dropped it a couple of times and the phone is still in great condition!

The case itself gets fairly scratched up over time though. I dropped my phone on concrete from about 5 feet up (I'm 6' and I was standing using my phone) and it didn't really damage my phone at all except for a couple scuff marks on the corner of the phone. The case is two piece and 'snaps' together in between the front and the back of the phone. If you drop it hard the case does come apart, but the case hasn't broken or cracked on me yet.

I would still be using it, but I just don't like the look of cases, a naked diamond is a sexy diamond! I just use a screen protector now. I used it for about 4 months.

I'd recommended a case or silicone cover if your looking to protect against drops. An invisible shield type skin will protect it against scratches but not drops. Your going to need some thick plastic, rubber/silicone, or metal to really get protection against drops
