These are the only cases I buy anymore. I get the tough cases and, unlike an otterbox imo, doesn't add much bulk. The one I had for over a year still only had minimal signs of wear despite my 4 and 2 year old girls. No cracks or chips, just little scratches from hitting the ground and dulled...

Lol no its olive oil from Soapers Choice
