I don't understand why you'd buy an expensive, nicely designed device and cover it in nasty rubber/plastic? I don't see how a "rugged, impact proof case" is anything other than intensively intrusive, and every screen protector that I've ever tried/seen has a huge impact on display quality *and* has an edge that you run your fingers over.

I also don't understand why people who are relatively financially unconstrained (which should be everyone on this forum) try to get so much life out of the device that probably gets more use than any other that you own.
