Best type of cover for my phone?

Hi all
Sorry if these seem completely stupid questions. Until now I've always used a brick, but the current brick is acting up so I've gone for a Huawei G300 :D. That begs the question of how to protect it while keeping it quick / convenient to answer. I originally thought a flip cover would be suitable, but there is actually a bewildering array of covers out there. So, would a flip, gel or hard cover be best? Is a screen protector still needed with a flip cover?

Also, any recommendations regarding quality? Cheap and cheerful, and replaceable once looking shabby, or pay a bit more for something better?

Thanks in anticipation!

    A casemate tough would be my choice if you can get it

    Thanks for replying. Unfortunately they aren't made for my phone.

    Go for a flip case - they are easy to handle when answering your phone and it's protected if you drop it or throw it around (if you're a lady - into her bag for instance)

    I always have flip cases - they may not look as stylish as a gel or hard back type case, but I would rather have one of those to protect my phone as it does give that added protection.

    A girl I work with dropped her 3 week old Iphone 5 and it cost over £200 to get the screen replaced.

    I've just bought an Xperia Z and have ordered a flip case from Ebay - they are sturdy to be fair and cheap enough that if you get bored with the colour/pattern, you can buy some more!
