After playing around with my hard case on the Samsung Impression, It's all dinged up and I decided to go buy a silicone case for the phone. I have posted some links and hope you guys help me decide which case to get and if you have any suggestions. My favorite case color is blue but I would really love a screen protector with it for less than $7. Thanks!

to be honest silicone cases for the impression in my opinion is ugly.

i've had one in the past for my blackberry and found it annoying to have, its dust prone so i always found myself in the bathroom rinsing the case off in water on a daily basis.

putting it in your pocket was also a nuisance as it would come off as you try to fish it out.

as for me i would get this;

its black so it should minimize the appearance of any dings/scratches.
best of all it doesn't look bulky compared to the other hard cases, and you can easily find a screen protector for $2 bucks.

Well i've had a hard case for this phone and I didn't like the experience at all... the top row of the keyboard wasn't easily accessible because of the case, and it would always slip so the case was deeply damaged. Hard cases also hold dust.. I found myself cleaning my case daily.

wouldn't the silicone case also have problems with the top row?

the case i'm getting has a slimmer profile compared to the other hard cases which only makes the phone look bulky, and its rubber coated so it should help with the grip when holding.

well its just my preference but i like my phone and covering it up with silicone or bulky plastic just cheapens its appearance.

only other option is to get that invisible guard but all it does is makes it look new and what good is it if you slip and drop your phone?!

i also found the case in different colors;

I have the silicone case in black....looks just like the blue one you have pictured. It also came with the screen protector and a car charger. I hated the case because even though it said all ports were accessible without removing the case, it wasn't true. The charging port on the top was completely covered so every time you need to charge it, you have to take the case off. Also, it was always covered in lint so I was constantly washing it off. It also would pull my hair (I have long hair) so pretty much every time I was finished talking, I'd have to pry it out of my hair. The case doesn't fit snug, and is pretty floppy along the edges of the screen.

I just got the case in blue that noii posted the link to and love it. It makes the phone look so much prettier than when I had the silicone case on it. It took a couple weeks to get here from China, but I'm much happier with it. It is rubberized, so it's got some grip to it.

yeah, im getting ready to purchase a rubber coated case. i  haven't really dropped it and its scratching on the back. i was gonna wait til christmas, but im gonna get one now. I would think the silicone would not be a very pleasant experience, but possibly cheaper?

I just ordered a pair of rubberized plastic cased form eforcity but haven't arrived yet.  Saw another post from jpmorgan (search eforcity) who purchased these also and liked them - current price is under $5.00.  If anyone is interested, I will post my impression  Wink of them.

Just got a Silicone case in the mail today. It is going back. Only $4.99 on ebay and that was with shipping. It won't stay in place and all the long narrow sections where so weak they just bend and move at will. I guess you get what you pay for. Will try a hard rubberized next.

Does anyone know if the Body Glove case causes the same "gap" problem as some other hard cases?

If its a hard case then yes it will. They have to have clips to hold the case sections on.

Goat-

It's hard to tell from the picture, I have a brand X hard case with much more pronounced clips. I thought maybe it uses the track method like the silicone cases. Anyone have this?

i know where i live too Tongue, but all that i have protected on my phone is the screen the if rest of the phone gets scratched up it doesnt bother me bc its there for looks and i am the only one that uses this phone anyways so why buy a case that is going to scratch up my phone more than my pocket is going to.

i have always wanted to do a test to see if cases really protect a phone more than a phone that doesnt have a case. sounds like a good science fair project to me
