why otterbox commuter not in the list for the poll?
most will agree its one of the best cases you can find
I wanted to include it and the other otterbox cases, but there is only room for 10 choices in the poll. I made the "other" choice in the poll for all the cases that were not mentioned.

It'd be better if it didn't have the open hole in the back.
Lots of cases have the logo cut out. Lots of them! Never understood why. Doesn't bother me though.
Magpul Field case
Magpul for me personally as the case has the following that provides it a better grip:
1) Textured feel of the case
2) Squared edges instead of rounded edges improves grip
3) The ribs on the sides
Solid feel and material and for the price, it can't be beat unless you just don't like the aesthetics of the military-type look.

I actually have a few favorite cases and swap between them. Then I try a new one and then some others drop off. I prefer a minimalistic case on the thin side. I've tried the Caudabe and Shumuri and although I really liked them - they were just too slippery for me. So my current favorites are the black Incipio NGP and the white Apple Silicone cases. They surely aren't as thin as the others but offer some protection and make the Plus easier to hold.
Do you have the NGP? How does it hold up wear-wise? I purchased both the frost and black and like the black much better. I like that it's a little more opaque and that it gives a nice refined look for my silver and white Plus. I really like the black leather Apple case as it is so light weight and just so precisely fits. But I've had problems with quality and the edges fraying so I'm done with it. It's just too delicate for regular use.
The NGP is nice as it has the 360 coverage. My only gripe with it so far is that although fairly slim and clean fitting to the phone, it is heavier than the Apple leather. The NGP is 33 grams compared to the Apple leather at 20 grams. I know we're talking grams here but I do notice the extra weight. Still better than having a fraying case though.
The Apple leather has been my favorite case but I picked up the ZooGue last week and much to my surprise it's quickly become a very close 2nd to the Apple case. At first look I thought it was a decent case but after using it for a couple days I really, really like it. The same thickness as the Apple case. Has excellent grip, very responsive buttons (better than the Apple), looks awesome and has great in the hand feel. Someone on here said it has a "dry feel" which I think is a good way to describe it. Sort of Caudabe-ish but not slippery. Hard to describe but I like it, feels like high quality material. And it goes on/off like butter which I love.

I haven't had any issues with the NGP case in terms of durability. Of course, this is all relatively on how rough/or not you are with your case.
On top of that it has a year warranty, if anything should happen.
In my opinion the weight issue is negligible and adds a sense of heft to it without it feeling too light in your hands.
I just heard about the tech 21 case and I found one at the apple store in my city they have something called eve mesh, i got the black/black smoke one, since my phone is space grey, it looks really nice. Anyone can tell me more about tech 21?
