With the case I just figure the one it comes with is the best case i've ever seen offered first party at no extra cost.
If you drop the thing though outside of said carrying case it's toast. it's way too big and heavy to survive any real fall. I'd be very surprised if even some kind of otterbox would work (but I admit i've never looked into it.)
Ah okay there's 2 meanings of cases.
There is one for travel - that it comes with.
But there's one that fits more like an otter box, an in-use case. The Spigen, Jsaux and KillSwitch all do that. Though I'm sure there are rip-offs all over Amazon by now for all 3.
With how big the thing is I really don't want more bulk on it. My brother in law had a deck until his girlfriend knocked it off a table and destroyed the shell...
My wife has already knocked mine off a couch and caused the case to un-clip in one spot, but it could have very easily been much worse.
I get wanting a case on the thing lol
