Got the body glove case which seems to protect the camera really well and got a plastic film put over the face of it. Bought both at Sprint. With those 2 items the phone seems very sturdy with out adding much bulk.
As far as battery drain, It is never an issue for me. For every phone i have ever owned i would keep a car charger, wall charger in my car, a wall charger at both of my studios, and a wall charger in my camera bag. I pic them up for about $10 at Wall Mart. Definitely worth it.
Im the wrong guy to ask about battery life, because my batteries get worked over. Sounds funny, but i absolutely never miss my calls due to no battery power.
Still getting used to the touch screen typing. Pain in the ass, but i see a lot of people good at it, so there is hope for me.
Never had an Iphone so i cant say which is better, but i can say that this phone is badass and fun to play with. With all of the cool things it does, i hope that the phone part works as well as my BlackBerry did. My Blackberry had zero issues in the last 2 years.
