Hard Snap On Case vs Silicone Soft Case

[omnicious]

So what's everyone's opinion between these two types of cases?

Soft silicone case and if I want to wear it on my hip, I can still use my leather pouch as well...

Edit for case type: Mine is from VZW with the covering for the buttons. It is the solid black - altho I did order a blue one from ebay (soft silicon) but it will not have the row of buttons...

Use the silicone case all the time. For transport, use an armored case I bought for a Passport external drive. It holds charger cord and earphones, too.

I am using a silicone case. This is not the Verizon one that covers the 4 bottom hard keys. I like the case, but one thing really bothers me. The sides left and right edges are just short enough that they press on the sides of my screen protector. After a couple of days, my Steinheil didn't lay flat anymore on the left side. The pressure from the side caused it to raise, allowing for particles to sneak in.

So what soft case is everyone using?

I ditched the hard case in favor of silicone, mostly because I wanted something slimmer, that gripped better. Went with a plaid one. Did a review in the review section here.

I saw that review. However I didn't like the Plaid design or the fact it covered buttons.

I have the soft black silicone case from vzw. It does its job I guess, but it attracts DUST, pet hair, etc like no other. I work in a very dusty environment and i have to wipe it off several times a day becuase theres always white paper dust specs all over it.
Considering switching to another case just because I cant keep this one clean.

For what it's worth, the buttons function much, much better with this case. Plus, it keeps dirt out of them. However, I know that some cases make the buttons harder to push.

Saw that case and almost bought it except for the ridiculous price point.
