Whats kind of case is best for protecting a cell phone?

Hard cases or the rubberized cases?Whats kind of case is best for protecting a cell phone?
rubberized cases because if u drop ur phone the case won't fall off or break like the hard ones. but it depends on how hard u drop it. i like the hard ones because they come is more designs.Whats kind of case is best for protecting a cell phone?
definitely a skin or a rubber case (silicone case) they are shock absorbent and last alot longer then hard cases. leather cases are good too, but they attract too much dust.
