I haven't tried out the soft and hard cases but, any cursory understanding of physics would inform one to purchase a soft case over a hard case. The damage done to a phone (or anything) on impact is going to be due to the power profile of the impact and, basically, power=energy/time. A soft case is going to increase the amount of time in this equation, hence lowering the power profile of the impact. There is other physics at play here, but that is the main issue with any concussive impact. So, take it from someone with a physics degree, tend towards a soft case unless you have irrefutable proof that a hard case will provide more protection.
