3 cases, 4 screen protectors. My winner is..

I was gonna write a long review on a bunch of cases and screen protectors but figured people didnt want to read that much so here is a summary. I have tried the Body Glove and silicon gel case from sprint as well as the case mate barely there. For screen protectors I've tried zagg, clarivue, stienhiel anti fingerprint, and stienhiel ultra clear.

Body glove had good protection but a little too much bulk for me. Good for people who are worried about dropping their phone but don't want a lot of bulk. The silicon case attracted way too much dust. The barely there case was just that, barely there, provided very very minimal bulk and protected the back camera lens well. Not much protection if you drop your phone though but this was perfect for me and the clear winner.

Zagg has amazing toughness but there is a tradeoff for the touch screen experience, its a little too tacky and your fingers do not glide smoothly across the screen. Stienhiel anti fingerprint was great for eliminating fingerprints but that too came with a tradeoff, the screen was slightly blurry with it on. clarivue was good and does not take away from the touch screen experience at all. If it werent for the front camera and proximity sensor cutouts you couldn't tell it was there. It is scratchable though, as I put the phone in my golf bag and the protector got scratched. No big deal because they come with 2. Stienhiel ultra clear was similar to clarivue but with no cutouts for the camera or proximity sensor. very high quality and does not take away from the front camera quality or touch screen at all. It also comes with 2 protectors. for my needs this was my clear winner.

In the end the perfect combination for my needs (keeping the phone as close to naked while still protecting from scratches and kinks) was the case mate barely there and the stienhiel ultra clear screen protector.
