from your fingers.

comfortable DROID protection.

than a leather case.

Waterproof Cases ($10–40)
What these do
: Provide waterproof protection for your DROID and allow you to safely
use the DROID near water (in the rain, at the pool, at the beach, on a boat, and so on).
Pros
: Provide good water protection.
Cons
: May make the touch screen harder to use; these covers typically do not protect
your DROID from drops or bumps.
Hard Plastic / Metal Case ($20–40)
What these do
: Provide hard, solid protection against scratches and bumps and short
drops.
Pros
: Provide good protection.
Cons
: Add some bulk and weight. You may need to remove such covers when charging
because the DROID might overheat in that circumstance.
Leather or Special Cases ($50–100+)
What these do
: Provide more of a luxury feel and protect the DROID.
Pros
: Provide the more upscale look-and-feel of leather; such cases also protect the
front and the back of the device.
Cons
: Cost more than other cases; add bulk and weight.
