iPhone 5 Otterbox Defender vs Ballistic HC vs Griffin Survivor

Otterbox Defender vs Ballistic Hard Core (HC) vs Griffin Survivor

Otterbox Defender
Otterbox is one of the most popular cases in general for protection and features. I used the Defender for my iPhone 4 so I decided to get one for my iPhone 5.
 
Pros:
Very easy compared to the others to take on and off
Unlike the Griffin Survivor the camera is not covered by a rubber piece
Very secure feeling in hand and in pocket
Not flimsy or too bulky
 
Cons:
The only Con I could find in there is nothing over the bottom to protect from dust.
 
Notes:
People say these have space in them and you can shake the phone inside which atleast in my case is not happening.
 
 
Overall:
5 out of 5
 
Ballistic HC Hard Core
Ballistic is also known for protection and I also had this case for my 4 and wanted to try it for the 5.
 
Pros:
Nice coloring
Screen protector built in
Stand built in for movie viewing and such
 
Cons:
Very hard to take on and off
Very thin feeling unlike the model for the 4
The home button is hard to press
it did not seem to snap together all the way
 
 
Overall:
3.5 out of 5
 
Griffin Survivor
One of the cheaper protection cases but still decent.
 
Pros:
Very secure feeling
Nice grip
Nice colors
Nice price
Built in screen protector
Easy to press home
 
Cons:
Phone kind of gets stuck in hard shell
Rubber over the camera (have to move it just to take a picture)
Harder to take on and off but not as hard as the Ballistic was
Takes some breaking in to use power easily
 
Overall:
4 out of 5
 
BEST IN ORDER
 
OTTERBOX DEFENDER
GRIFFIN SURVIVOR
BALLISTIC HC
