so the neoprene cases don't absorb drops too well?

Im not too sure, I think the Seidio will do the best job at this.
Go with the Seidio Innocase II Surface.

Hmm...this review said it might not protect the screen as well? That's all I really care about. Is it still good?...

very nice review, thanks for posting that - definitely leaning towards the seidio.
I have the red/black case and I like it. My seams are perfect, as is the overall fit of the case. I've had no problem with paint peeling. Can't really comment on the on/off button since I use a fingernail to switch mine on/off.
I did want something a little classier, and I've ordered this one in black croc. It should be here tomorrow.

I've got the Body Glove impact resistant case. I haven't dropped the phone yet.

Yeah but what I'm saying is that the guy in that video said it might not protect the screen very well. The screen is all I care about--I can drop the phone and take as many scratches and scuffs as I need to and I don't give a ****, but when I drop the thing and the screen cracks, that's when mine will really hit the fan because that's one of the hardest things to replace in the phone, as well as, I think, the easiest thing to break from drops.

There is no case you will buy that will keep the screen from cracking. If its dropped on the screen at the right angle, it WILL crack. No case will stop that from happening. Seidio is also releasing 2 more cases Which are the Active and the Rugged. Both of which will provide good protection.
The Active has a silicone layer and then a hard layer goes over the silicone.
You might want to take a look at the Seidio Innocase II. It has saved me from more than one drop.

the amzer black rubberized crystal snap on case is garbage, dont buy it. it doesnt even stay on, there is no way to snap all the corners(it is not made to the correct size). if i snap it together without even putting the phone in and hold it upside down, half will fall off. the mechanism which is supposed to clasp the two halves of the case together is "incredibly" weak as well as the case not even being close to "a perfect fit". this product is absolutely and completely worthless

OTTERBOX, OTTERBOX - Defender series has worked well for friends of mine in the firefighting and construction fields for their Blackberry's and I phones. One even had a track hoe run over it. I have a Commuter Case for my Moto Droid since they don't make a Defender case due to it being a slide phone. Have dropped it a few times on asphalt. No markes or scratches. Was looking for a case for my wife's new incredible. They are developing two cases for the Incredible. I'd wait for that. If it were me, but she probably will not want one since they don't come in pink dancedroid
