I thought you were smart.
Rubber absorbs impact. Aluminum transfers it. (Even the when the phone is hit on its edge.)........................
Exactly, some people think that if you put another hard surface on the edge of the phone you are fine, but another hard layer only prevents from scratches (just like an sticker would do). If it lands on the edge, the shock will transmit to the phone.
A silicone/ rubber case protects from both, scratches and absorbs impact, this is a no brainer, hard cases are for decoration not protection, and that's fine as long as that's what you want to do.
Now, I'm not saying you should go and spend over $50 on something so over-the-top-ridiculous like this:
Which I'm sure does it's job, but looks horrid.
You can unbranded slim, flat black silicone/ rubber cases that don't really make your phone all bulky.
