Android X case & accessories

[MizMojoLaveau]

Can anyone recommend what the best android case and other accessories are to gift someone who is getting an Android for Christmas? I know otterbox makes droid cases and they seem to be good.

My boss just got one WITH an Otterbox - - are there any other MUST HAVE accessories??? HELP! Looking for a Christmas gift under $50?

I have had the following cases:

OEM Silicone from VZW
OEM hard shell back with slip in holster from VZW
Best Buy Rocket Fish 2 piece
Seidio Innocase Surface w/holster
Seidio Innocase Active w/holster
Seidio Rugged w/holster
Otterbox Defender

The Otterbox Defender is the best BY FAR. Only drawback is that it does add significant bulk to the already big Droid X - for me I don't mind but some might. If the bulk is an issue - then I'd lean toward the Otterbox Commuter.

The VZW extended battery for the Droid X is nice to have. That big 4.3" screen - and being a smartphone in general will suck the stock battery dry before the day is over.
