What is your personal favorite. I'm looking for something that doesn't add TOO much bulk but I want it to be protective... Limited market on this phone... Any suggestions?

Best case for this phone?

BodyGlove has one for this phone. I've been using it for a few weeks, and it's pretty rugged. Already dropped my phone a few times with no real damage. It's all one piece, snaps around the phone with a full inset ridge (as opposed to several tiny little tabs).
A bit pricey on their site right now, I guess. But it's definitely quality. (I got it on sale, but looks like that's over.)

I've just been pretty fond of the basic silicone skin cases. Nothing fancy

I have that case and I've literally dropped my phone so many times its insane that it's not broken. Then again I've dropped this phone from about five feet on concrete WITHOUT the case and it still didn't receive any damage.

I also like the simple Silicone Gel skins, they actually absorb shock quite well. I bought one for my wife and later on one for myself and I recommend this seller because the skin fits real snug compared to the wife's and I subsequently replaced her's with one as well. The Victory seems to me to be quite rugged to start out with.
If you do drop it quite often the Body Glove is a nice alternative and pretty good buy @ 7.00 here I have one for my HTC EVO 4G LTE and it fits nice, I still prefer my silicone fishbone/gel skin cover though.
The case posted above looks as if it may be pretty slick, the Body Glove is also glossy on its back but the sides do grip well and the last thing you want is a phone that slips out your hand case or not. Why I like the silicone skins, they just seem to stick in your hand and to just about any surface.
FYI: If you want to keep your phone looking nice you still need to take it out of its case every so often and clean out all the dust, dirt and cookie crumbs that find their way underneath the cover, they become like sand paper between the cover and the phone finish.

I typically go with hard plastic cases with a rubberized coating, an example can be seen
here. It may not match a silicone case or Body Glove in terms of protection, but as stated before the Victory is a relatively sturdy phone on its own.
I don't like silicone cases much because I don't want to deal with the heavy "gasoline" smell they have when they first arrive. The Body Glove is an interesting option too, although I wonder about the glossy back side, usually I want the entire phone to be relatively grippy.
To each their own though, this is just my opinion.

Is there any kind of life proof - like case for our phone. I know I can't be picky but does something similar exist

Funny, I just got this same cover in the mail on Tuesday and it fits great. Haven't drop tested it yet and don't plan on it. Just bought a similar case for my wife's LG Optimus Elite. I also ordered anti-glare screen protectors. I had these on my Triumph and when I sold it that bad boy looked like it was still new.

I've had this case for about 2 weeks now. It fits well and I'm happy with it. I did have to get used to pushing the power button more firmly, but it's not a big deal.

I decided to go with this case because I liked the way it looked and it didn't add too much bulk. It is supposed to arrive next week.

i tried different kinds of cases, and i prefer hard/flexible silicone jelly. Lighter weight, slip in/out of pocket easier, and i like the see-through look. Color doesn't hide phone and it is much easier to put on/take off, no snapping to fit.
