I agree that the silicon cases don't offer the greatest protection. I dropped my Curve on concrete and the corner got scratched through the case. I got the Seidio case and I couldn't be happier with it.

Owch, on your phone taking a fall. But thank god I haven't had that happen. OP right now I use the silicon case and it works great, but even I have been looking into getting a Seidio Innocase for extra protection and it looks great.
