S4 or IPhone 5s/5? Or Another Phone?

So I'm getting a new phone this weekend but I'm not sure which one to get I know the iPhone 5s ( iPhone 5s is almost the same as the regular iPhone 5 so yeah ) is coming out with a new iOS and I kinda like it but the s4 is also a good phone I want your opinions on what you think of the phones and which one is should get or any other phones you think are good… Thanks

Cases the offer good protection for iPhone 5?

I currently have an otter box defender on my iPhone 5 but I'm getting sick of it. It's a year old and I need a change plus it's starting to rip and get scratched up. I was going to just get a new otter box exactly like mine but a different color. But otter box doesn't offer many color choices for this type of otter box and I don't like any of the other colors. I feel like it might be stupid to buy another otter box exactly the same and same color as the one I currently have. So to get to the point… Does anyone know of other good cases that will protect my phone very well if I drop it onto like cement? I looked into Life Proof cases but they are really expensive and the only thing extra they offer different from otter box is that it's water proof… But I don't really plan on dropping my phone in water anytime soon… So any other ideas?
