Otterbox Pros:
+  Side Bezels are much better protected
+  2 extra layers of protection(Rubber layer plus a clamshell holding a layer in)
+  Thicker

Otterbox Cons:
-  Quite a bit heavier
-  No kickstand
-  Ports are annoying to open up if you don't have fingernails
-  $60(Should be $30)
-  Holster is useless

Samsung Rugged Case Pros:
+  Much lighter case
+  Movies do look a lot better with the size bezels exposed
+  A kickstand
+  Wireless charging is more reliable

Samsung Rugged Case Cons:
-  Sides are not very well protected, so a front facing drop is a lot more deadly
-  $40, should be $15-20

For a better looking phone, I recommend the Samsung case
For durability, I heavily recommend Otterbox, especially if you are clumsy.

You will need screen protectors either way, but don't waste your money on Zagg, get something cheaper or made for Otterbox.
