There are several case specific threads but I thought I'd start a comparison thread. Some quick thoughts on the cases I've used so far, hopefully somebody finds them useful.
Otter box symmetry leather: nice looking, feels good, but buttons hard to press, thick and not drop rated.
K11 bumper: beautiful and has the best buttons of anything I've used, and drop rated to 6ft. BUT...very slick and the buttons rattle. The rattle you can easily fix with a bit of tape over the inside of the buttons and the slickness I fixed with a sliver of traction tape on each side. Also doesn't work well with the Cinder screen protector.
Rhino shield crash guard: drop rated to 11 ft, but the sides easily pull away from the phone and it's a bit thick. Buttons aren't great either, this has been my least favorite of all I've tried.
Play proof : A better choice than the crash guard IMO, fits very tight and buttons feel good, 2nd only to the k11. Drop rated to 11 ft, and lots of options for look and color. BUT it's slick, definitely not a grippy case.
Evicted Karbon SI: Very nice looking and feels great, not nearly as slippery as the rhino cases or unmodified k11. As slim as the playproof. Buttons are ok, not as good as the playproof but better than the crash guard. Not rated to any specific height, just quoted as meeting the military standard so maybe 4ft? Works great with the Cinder, not lifting issues at all.
I think it'd be neat if other people who have some comparisons could post their thoughts, sort of a collective quick good/bad thing.
