Maybe it was just me, but I bought a Ballistic SG Maxx the day I got my phone and it was playing havoc with the touch screen. Couldn't maintain swypes at all.

Ended up getting one of these and I don't even use a screen protector because Gorilla Glass 2 is apparently some sort of god material.

I carry it around in my pocket every day and I lack any sort of scratches so far. Plus, no screen protector is going to protect from a solid screen-first fall onto the corner of a desk or something.

Also if this case ever stretches or something, I can just get 10 more for less than the price of any of those cases.
