I finally caved and picked up a case. I love the looks of my white Icon, but I use my phone at the Gym 6 days a week (ProGym for anyone who needs a good tracking app) and just knew eventually something was going to happen to it (no matter how carefully I hid it away between sets). I went with the Otter Box Defender, and love it. It actually makes the phone easier to handle. I didn't want to admit it before, but the while it's a beautiful phone, it's not the easiest phone to hold. It actually is on the thin side, and the squared edges do make it a bit award for big hands. With the Otter Box on my phone, it actually now feels great it the hand. Very substantial, and now I don't think twice about handling it. Before I was always very careful with it in hand, because I knew if I dropped it, I could be in for trouble. The only thing I didn't like about the Defender was the built in screen protector, since it completely washed out the gorgeous screen on the Icon. Tonight I just popped it off (very easy to do, and I assume they make it simple to pop off on purpose) and now I have my lovely screen back, with the great protection that Otter Box offers.

Yes you can, not eye popping like it really stands out but is is visible. Only places it is slightly cover is the right corner where the black strap thing is and also where the headphones plug in.

I got the Otterbox Defender which has always been hit or miss for me, as I'm really picky with cases. You guys weren't joking about it being extremely difficult to take off. I had it on for a few hours and I hated it so I took it off and will try to sell it for like $10. I got my Trident Cyclops case today and I love it. It's my first Trident case. I normally never liked the designs of Trident cases so I never bought one. It's great so far. Feels great, feels secure, the screen protector is tight on the screen, no complaints thus far. You only have two choices that I'm aware of for a fully rugged case and this is hands down better than the Otterbox Defender.
Be careful I had the same case and it was a ***** to get off. I cut my finger in the process.

Anyone seen a wallet case that is of decent quality and isn't super bulky? I'm mostly looking for something to carry cards around in. It'd be even better if it didnt have the flap over the front.

I'll third that; got the Skinomi "brushed aluminum" and it looks awesome. I can upload a pic if anyone would like to see.

I get my phone and Otterbox today. I've had Otterbox cases on past phones and really liked their durability.
As for ProGym, I've used so many different workout trackers on all the main mobile OS's. It is hands down the best I have ever used.
I saw the black version of the MALM? FLIPCASE WWN. It looks interesting. I wish they had it in blue or cyan.

I have the incipio feather in cyan. love it. simple, colorful, light, and protects every side and corner. although it seems to be stained on the corners now after a few weeks. i'm guessing from my jeans pockets?

I've got this one coming from Amazon

I recently bought PureGear Nokia Lumia Icon Slim Shell Case WHITE (Link 1 and link 2)
It's a great case. It's very sturdy and looks great. I didn't want a case that's going to hide the design of the phone itself since it was one of the major reason why I decided to go with Lumia Icon. That being said, the case is very tight and it's hard to get the case off but it does get easier the more you do it. My only major concern is, the white part around the phone seem to have slight yellowy-grey tone to it which makes the case look dirty. I've had the case for few days and it looks like I've had it for months. But other than that, it's a solid case. It's not flimsy at all. It's easy to slide it into your pocket and looks great.

I just found a crazy Icon case on Amazon.

Picture is of the 1020, so we can't see what it looks like. And reviews aren't so good.
There is another listing that shows the Icon. No reviews on it though. Based on the 1020 case, it probably isn't a good case.
Just thought the case itself was unusual so I mentioned it.
