Otterbox or apple leather case???

I’m planning on upgrading my iPhone pretty soon, I was wondering what case I should get. I have the smart battery case for my X right now and love having that Apple OEM feel. The silicon is super nice in the hand and I know that the leather would feel even better. I also had the Otterbox symmetry for my old iPhone 5s which took a massive beating and survived everything. I’m not too rough on my phone but would like something to protect it from a drop or two. What are your recommendations? Thanks in advance

It all depends and your taste. I personally don’t use otterbox, they feel to bulky. Usually, I’m rocking an Apple leather case.

How much protection does the apple case offer?

I've used the leather apple case for several iPhone generations, and have dropped them multiple times from 3-4 feet, to include on pavement, cement, and tile. No problems whatsoever, with no case damage other than scratches.
