Which iphone cases would protect your phone more?

The hard cover ones or the silicone ones or the ones with rubber on them.
I want to buy a new case but i want it to be one that can really protect my phone from breaking.

Anything shock-absorbing, like a rubber or silicone "soft" shell -- anything by Otter Box is my preference. I don't have an iPhone -- I have an Android phone -- but it has a soft-silicone Otter Box case on it.

You should invest in a life proof. Its thinner then the otterbox and has the same shock proofing but it also has water proof and dirt proof and stuff like that. I recently got one and its amazing!
