+1 for SGP - they have a bunch of different types suited for your preference. They're more expensive, but it's my understanding that they last much longer in return.
Also, just get a full case instead of a bumper, especially because they won't be handing them out. It'll protect the phone more, and there are some nice looking models. SGP, Griffin, Speck, Otterbox, and Case-Mate are good places to start if you want to look around.
