I love the Otterbox Commuter cases but my wife hates their colors. I have tried to get her to look at a few other options but have hit a bunch of walls.

I've looked at a few nicer cases but I dont think she in love with them. So far she thinks http://elementcase.com/ will ruin her signal and http://www.grovemade.com/ doenst have great designs.

I just want her to not break her phone in the end. Any recommendations?

edit: This will be for the new iPhone 5s.
 
I see a lot of females with the Speck Candyshell in white. It does look good on the phone, especially the white phone - it's just a little too much white for my taste.
 
Ultimately, I recommend you provide her with a list of potential candidates and let her choose what case she wants. I think choosing for her might be fraught with danger :p
 
What does her tastes lean to? There is

http://www.twigcase.com

They are similar to Grove but have some great designs. I have one and they provide a lot of protection. There is also

http://www.spigen.com

They have great looking cases, but be careful with the bumpers. I dropped my Iphone 5 in one and the bumper came right off and I ended up with a ding and some scratches on the corner of my phone. Not a big deal, but the phone was pristine up till that point, so it kind of hurt a little. Or you can get her a clear case like

That would offer some protection, but at the same time show off the design of the phone.

How about you make her one with a picture of the two of you on it. My daughters made me an iphone case from shutterfly and I thought it was a great idea. Maybe you should look into that. Good luck!
