I need a case for my new phone, tell me what I should consider.  I had the verizon store put a screen protector on but said "no thanks" to a case until I had time to shop around.

I looked at otterboxes (defender) but would remove their shit screen protector and void any warranty I assume.  I looked at lifeproof nuud cases but would have to replace the screen protecter I just paid for to get the case to seal.

Waterproof is a cool feature of the lifeproof but I mainly just want drop/bump protection.  Then again...

I use Spigen cases. IMO they are the best bang for the buck. Amazon.com has the best prices.

Awesome!  Looking at their tough armor case.  Love the price point.

I "ran" a magpul case for my regular 6 that I would rotate with a thule case and it was fine for a free case.

Everyday case is a MAGPUL when the phone is in my pocket. When out fishing, hunting, camping I have a Otter box. The Otter Box is very bulky but offers more protection.

Lifeproof. Nuud. I do construction and farming and all the dust and sweat will kill a phone. The nuud has no screen protector on it, it seals with silicone around your screen edge. It's super fun to take phone In the shower til your wife starts asking what your doing in there.

I saw these on amazon for a good discount but only without a screen protector, and the reviews for the ones that are made to fit are too mixed for me to take the gamble.  ANd I'm not paying $140 for the bundle through lifeproof.

Lifeproof used to send the screen protector with nuuds but stoped for the 7. Best thing that ever happened because I started using teqii protectors from Amazon. They are awesome. The lifeproof are thin plastic and work well but you have to get centered the first time and dust free. The teqii from Amazon are like a plate of glass and easy to align as you put on. Install these with case on of course. The teqii are clear, i can't stand the grainy effect of some protectors. I've had this one on for 6 months and it still scratch free, even after using my phone with muddy fingers.

The teqii was recommended on amazon to go with the nuud but that's where I saw all the reviews complaining about it not completely covering the screen and leaving annoying gaps around the edges.  

Do you have a 6 or 7?  I get the feeling they are using the same screen protectors but the 7 screen may be slightly larger and is what is causing the complaints.

Magpul is my personal favorite. I don't beat the shit out of my phone, so it's perfect for me.

I like the apple leather and silicon cases.

I am using an Otterbox Commuter Series case I got from Amazon. First time I have used anything other than a Magpul.

I must say I really like it. Doesn't stretch or pull off the phone and seems to protect well.

Another vote for Spigen.

There is maybe a 1/16" space. That doesn't bother me at all. I have a 7 plus.

I have a Lifeproof FRE.  

The screen protector gives up some touch sensitivity, but the phone is well protected from dirt and dust.

Same.  Numerous drops with no damage, and only $6.  Slim enough and easy to grip.

I've used the fre on multiple phones through the years but in the last iPhone series they went with one of the worst anti-glare films I've ever looked through. It's as grainy as laser light. Used to be clear. Still a very capable case for bad environments.
