Protecting my Galaxy Nexus

When it came to protecting my Galaxy Nexus, I looked no further than Seidio. They protected my Bionic so well that I couldn't pass them up. While the construction of this case was slightly different from that of my first from Seidio, the protection wasn't compromised at all. This case has definitely saved my phone more than once.
The simpler design is slimmer and only consists of two layers: a silicone skin wrapping the phone with drop/shock protection and a strong plastic skeleton holding it in place. All ports, speakers, microphones, and the camera are open and available at all times with this case. The grooves in the silicone enhance the feel and grip on the device so much that I like the phone better with this case. The buttons are also more responsive thanks to the silicone layer. While I choose not to use a screen protector on the device, the silicone layer makes it easy to apply one and not worry that it gets plied up at the edges.
Seidio's Active Combo is a combo because it also includes a sturdy clip. With the ability to adjust to 7 different angles, the clip can be worn by anybody nearly anywhere on a bag or their person. The clip's face-in design paired with a felt lining completes the protective experience.
 
Another popular and tough case is the Otter Box. It has a plastic shock resistant case covered with a rubber coating and also has a built in screen protector. All the jacks and buttons are easily accessible and seem to work fine.
 
I bought the Diztronic after having the Verizon hard clip on case. The Diztronic case is way better and feels great. Doesn't add much bulk and looks slick and nice. Another plus is it has a small lip around the face/screen of the phone so if it lands face down it won't get damaged or scratched up.
 
I like the belt clip idea. I have gotten used to my phone in my pocket, but I hate not being able to get my phone out while im sitting down. Does the case attract lint?
 
I have the Incipio 2 piece protector. A silicone skin with a hard plastic shell that secures on the corners. Between keys, a tape measure, leatherman type pouch and hand tools, I have enough on my belt, so the phone resides in my shirt pocket.
