I am going with Pitaka this year for the 3rd year in a row. I have found that it meets the most criteria for what I want in a case. It is feather-light, it has a little bit of grip, and the bottom and sides where the buttons are is open. I really like having the bottom open so I can just swipe up with no lip. One caveat....I am not 100% sure if dropped that the phone won't get cracked. I would never purchase this for my wife. I am very, very careful with my toys. I have dropped my phone a couple of times over the years and reeled everytime I went to go pick it up. Fortunately, I am at home most of the time so the floor/grass is forgiving. Anyways, I looked at there website and there were a couple of new 'limited edition' cases on there. At first, I didn't like either. Then, the Starpeak magez case in Over The Horizon style kind of grew on me. I have always just gotten their basic black/grey carbon fiber. I think that paired with the blue PM, it is gonna be a banger.
