Which Of These 3 Cases Is Best? Why?

I'm looking at a case for my Telus Touch Pro. I purchased the Boxwave screen shield, so now need a case to protect the device itself. I've never bought one before so I'm not 100% sure what to look for when purchasing one. So i was hoping someone could give me some advice and let me know if any of these were good. Money's not really an issue as I'll be using it for a few years.

3 I'm choosing from:

Black Shield Protector Case for HTC Touch Pro (Sprint, Alltel)
$13
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=26264

Innocase Surface - Black
$30
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductD...e=CSR2HTCH2-BK

Textured Black Phone Cover
$25
http://nextelonline.nextel.com/NASAp...oryID=ZCH6855R


Right now I'd say I'm leaning towards the Innocase as it says it's only 1mm thick and I'd prefer something as thin as possible. Not sure if rubber makes a difference or not.

Also, I'm in Canada so not sure if shipping would have any issues with any of these.

I purchased this one for my wife from eBay. $12 shipped. It is a very nice case. It looks just like the $30 one you listed.

Re: Which Of These 3 Cases Is Best? Why?

I bought a blue case from ebay, identical to the first one you listed. I've gotten a fair amount of compliments. I paid $7 total.

That said, I had a Seidio crystal case identical to this design for the 6700 - and would definitely argue that it's not worth paying for their "quality". Within a year I had two tabs break - and that's after not once removing the case.

If you're going to get a case like this, just go with one of the cheap options. Just note that any of these will make your case substantially thicker.

Does it actually help? I heard that rubberized hard case wasn't really a good option... How is it?

I have no idea what case to get... driving me nuts.

Re: Which Of These 3 Cases Is Best? Why?

Are the thicknesses of all the cases pretty much the same then?

I'd suggest that if you are leaning towards the Innocase already, then look at the package deal :
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductD...-HLCSRHTCH2-BK

That's quality stuff right there, for you

happy shopping man

This case definately helps protect your phone. I have a clear case on my phone from the same company and Friday when I got home I was getting off of my motorcycle and accidently sent the phone flying across my driveway. I was cringing when I picked it up, but no damage at all. The protective case did its job. I think most of them will do a good job protecting your phone, it just becomes a preference thing. I really like the texture of the rubberized cases. I wish I would have bought the one my wife has instead of the clear case.

Re: Which Of These 3 Cases Is Best? Why?

I am afraid that if i pick up these cases, it can get extremely annoying to X out of programs. I'll stick to my TEP and screen protector.
