So far I've purchased a $15.99 silicon black/smoke grey case from Best Buy, an Apple black Bumper case, and now my Incipio NGP case. I must say the Incipio NGP case offers, by far, the most protection, style, and easy-button pushing of all.
I didn't like the silicon case from BB because the buttons are too hard to push. The sleep/wake button takes quite a bit of force as well as the volume buttons. The bumper of course offers easy button pushing as it mimicks the steel buttons and has replicas of them, but it offers absolutely ZERO drop protection. No coverage of the back, either.
The Incipipo case isn't pure silicon so it slides easily in and out of a pocket, doesn't collect lint/dust, and feels more like a jelly material than anything. Sure, it makes the phone look sort of box-y. But it covers the back, the button tactile pushing is GREAT, they fit perfectly and it's like pushing the buttons without a case even being there, and it offers (IMO) great drop protection and back protection for the price (24.99).
