Depends on how you plan to use it. There are dozens of different styles for different types of protection. I use a Mophie Juice Pack cause I enjoy the option of recharging my device any time and any where.
You don't need any, but I highly recommend Speck Pixelskin HD for everyday use. Its camera cutout is excellent: shaped and coloured in such a way that it doesn't interfere with the camera or flash, and large enough that you can easily wipe away any dust or muck.
I also have a slim leather Sena sleeve which is more appropriate in formal circumstances (black) than my Pixelskin (blue).

I used to have a Speck case but it was just too bulky. I switched to an InCase Slider and its been working out great.

Get a magpul case. It's $10, tight fit and slim. I also really like the iSkin Revo cases at www.iSkin.com. Great cases and great protection.
How do you like the Sena sleeve? I have been considering getting one for quite awhile.
I have a life proof because I work in the rain and sometime sweat so badly stuff in my pockets gets wet (gross right).
That said I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you are outdoors quite a lot. Be it work, camping, water sports etc etc. It's over priced and requires a bit of getting used too. Makes you really appreciate a naked iPhone though lol.

Speck has a good warranty program as well. I just sent them my candyshell case that had the bridge near the dock connector broken off. And they are now sending me a brand new one in the mail as we speak.

I skin is a great company. I had the Solo for my iPhone 3G but use the Revo 4 for my iPhone 4S. Check them out.
An alternative to the Mophie Juice Pak in the slider power case style cases is:
The Tekkeon slider case. It doesn't use up the limited charge cycles you have on your internal battery. And extra Tekkeon rechargable batteries are cheap.

I use a very nice, tough Seideo swivel holster clip that holds the Tekkeon cased 4S for a great secure combo that's easy to get at but still secure. It's actually made for another smartphone but fits like a glove as if it was mfg'd for the 4S Tekkeon combo.

I don't like cases, it makes your iphone bigger 
.
seriously why we cover up the iPhone and super size it until you need to sew an additional pocket on your pants to fit!!!!
anyway,
I use a full body protector from ZAGG, I've been using it for about 2 years, until now it's the best body protector i've ever used.

Also liking the iSkin Claro, but I can't figure out if it's the same material as the Solo. I'd love a clear case only if it doesn't have plastic in contact with the device since that only leads to scratches.
Edit: answered my own question. Here's the video review for the claro (I'd pass on that one personally)

+1 The commuter is good. Depends on your needs really so look around. I have Zagg front and back under the otterbox commuter as my job requires a bit more protection than when I'm at home.

I would suggest the Incipio NGP Impact Resistant case. It's gotten good reviews on amazon and It fits the phone perfectly. Here are some picture:

A friend (verizon rep) hooked me up with the black griffin case with the fake black leather backing ($5)
It never had let me down. I dropped my 4s from launch day about a hundred times and there's no scratches or it hasn't crack plus it's real slim and doesn't look bulky at all.
But just got a powermat since it was on sell and about to use that casing that comes with it
