Recommendations for the best protective case and screen protector for iPhone 15?

Question

I just ordered the iPhone 15 and I'm honestly stressed about breaking it. Moving up from an iPhone 11 that I basically destroyed. The screen on that one cracked twice and the battery barely lasts until lunch now. I need this new one to actually survive. My main priorities are protecting that massive camera bump and keeping the size slim enough to fit in my pocket. I don't want a brick.

I've been looking online and I'm totally stuck. Spigen seems popular and cheap but I keep seeing reviews that the clear ones turn yellow in like a month. Then I looked at Mous cases because people say they're indestructible, but some forum posts say they've gotten way too bulky for the 15 and ruin the feel of the phone. I have about $80-$100 to spend on both a case and a screen protector. I want something that actually fits the edges right without lifting the glass. Every time I think I found a good combo, I find a horror story about the fit being off or the magnets being weak. What is the absolute best case and screen protector setup for someone who is clumsy but hates bulky cases?

I've been through three of these—tried Spigen years ago and it was garbage, things may have changed—but <a href=" https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Caudabe+Sheath+ iPhone+15&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p4624852.m570.l1311&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5337998953&customid=22&toolid=10001&mkevt=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">Caudabe Sheath iPhone 15 works.

Focusing on grip prevents drops before they happen. A secure hold is more effective for safety than a bulky case. Just make sure you double-check the lip height around the camera lenses to ensure the glass is recessed. I recommend this combination:Speck Presidio2 Grip iPhone 15The grips are molded into the case so they do not peel. It provides 13-foot drop protection and stays under 0.15 inches thick.Belkin UltraGlass 2 Screen Protector iPhone 15This is lithium-aluminosilicate glass, which is 2.7 times stronger than standard tempered glass. I'd recommend getting it professionally done at a retail store if you are not sure about your application. A single dust speck will cause a permanent bubble. Use a bright light source to check for dust before the final seal.

Regarding what #2 said about ESR, totally agree. This comes up a lot tbh. Check Dbrand Grip Case iPhone 15 because the texture stops drops and Torras Diamond Shield iPhone 15 for the alignment frame.
