Best case scenario

Looking for a good protective case which allows easy enough access to the back for switching between batteries. here is my selection for far:

Otterbox:

Bodyglove:
http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Sna...9837786&sr=8-2

Seido:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-InnoCas...9837899&sr=8-1

I am all yours for any other recommendations and tips! cheers...

Sounds like a plan... I hope you find one you like.
I go bareback. I just put the phone in my front left pocket... Nothin other than my ear buds is allowed in the front left pocket.

The otter box will not work work with a CDMA phone its a GSM case only, and none of them are a good choice if you change your battery regularly. I would look at a full skin for your phone and go with a holster.

x2 I just use a screen protector and keep in my pocket by itself.

So, it's better without protection?

Glad I didn't purchase the first one. I have an otterbox for my ipod, the thing is a fortress.. I could probably put my ipod in a baking oven or microwave and nothing would happen!

Ok, screen protector and left pocket only it is. tho question is, any old screen protector would do? or any specific brands in mind?

Cheers guys...

lmao.

I guess that's more of a personal opinion. I feel like a case makes it bulkier than it already is. I try to be really careful with my phone so I feel like just the screen protector is sufficient. You could also try the invisi-shield (sp?)

I get screen protectors from Ebay. I can't think of the name of it off the top of my head. If you order them online though, make sure you get the one for your carrier. I made the mistake of thinking they were all identical and got the wrong one the first time.I guess the placement of the buttons is different or something. You can go to the Sprint store to get a protector but all they ever seem to have is the ones you have to cut yourself. IMO those look like poop unless you get it perfect/

I personally use the Bodyglove case and it's great, as long as you never take it off. That's the real catch with clip on cases, they have little tiny plastic tabs holding them on. if you take them on and off the clips are going to break.

If you are changing you battery a lot than a skin from one of the below sites would be your best bet...........

interesting, I think i bought a skin for my creative player a few years back.. when they used this completely inelegant paypal cart heh

one downside of skins is that they can get on your skin lol - much like some people enjoy bitting their nails, others another unhealthy pass time: peeling, or pulling things apart!
