can you point me in the direction of an equally awesome case?
The only one I've seen in person is the "
Phone Cover Kickstand" that Sprint sells. I generally don't care for hard cover cases though, but that's one of the nicest one's I've seen.
I prefer
TPU cases (Thermoplastic polyurethanes). Instead of a regular "gel" case which will collect dirt and get grimey, the TPU case is good mix of the soft feel qualities of a gel case, with the durability and protection of the hard case. And it doesn't collect dirt, but it does add a bit of thickness to your super-sleek phone, so weigh that against the thinner hard case.
As far as screen protectors, you really don't need one for that phone because it's made of Gorilla Glass which is scratch resistant, especially with a TPU case as it prevents your screen from touching the surface if you lay it face down. That being said, some people still like screen protectors to keep keys and coins in the pocket from scratching the screen. They tend to use the harder plastic ones instead of the softer plastic ones based on the bubbling. Check out companies like sedio, bodyguardz or invisibleshield, as they have great reputations. Sorry I'm not much more help here, but I don't use screen protectors on my phone.
