Better Case For 1020

[JOHN Smith88]

Out of otter box and incipio which case protects against drops and also doesn't make the phone heavy .

Nothing beats OtterBox in terms of protection. The feather case may help with a small fall, but protection is minimal. Conversely, the feather lighter than the OtterBox.

Otter box is good but makes phone like a tank

 

[JOHN Smith88]

Are there any light cases which protects the whole case besides ottorbox

I am very happy with my Speck Candyshell. It looks great in yellow, provides good protection, while being relatively light and low profile compared to an otterbox. I had been using my camera grip most of the time, but now use the speck on days when I go to work.

Go to ebay and type in "perforated 1020 case" - I bought 2 of that one. One was that pink/white combo, the other was the black/black combo. Now I use the black hard shell on a while soft shell. It looks awesome!

Here's a seller that currently has both:

In my opinion, it's the best balance for bulkiness and protection. I don't need military-grade protection from the Otterbox Defender, I just need it to be protected if its dropped, so I'd like it to look it.

That said, I have dropped it a few times, most of the time, it probably would have been fine without a case. But there were a few occasions where it went flying or was slammed down hard. It has never suffered any damage and I'm glad to have the case, especially since the case is under $10 (under $20 for me since I had to buy two to get the style I wanted).

After several months, the hard portion of the case is showing wear on the corners. It's taken quite a beating and for another $8, I may just order another one in another month or two.

I bought the Poetic Atmosphere case. I have a white 1020 that I wanted to show off and protect at the same time.

also, I very rarely drop my phone so I don't worry about that much.

I've been using the Candyshell for a few months now and really like it. It's raised above the screen and around the camera so unless you are unlucky and drop it on something like a rock direct to screen/camera they are protected. I also like the grip on the back. The buttons are covered but don't feel off like some cases do, even the half press for the camera to focus feels fine and responsive.

That's what I end up getting speck case , its light and doesn't feel too heavy .

I have the poetic atmosphere case too. I like the looks and how it shows my yellow phone, and it seems to protect the phone well, and the camera bump has a little ridge to keep the lens off of a table when you set it down.
