I have a Hori silicon cover and bought some Xbox One thumbsticks off ebay, cut the thumbstick tops off them and glued them to the top of some Bluecell thumbstick covers. The Xbox Thumbstick glued to the Bluecell one will look like this. You're going to want to dremel out a little under the XB1 thumbstick so the plastic Bluecell cover fits more flush in there and doesn't make the joysticks on the vita too tall because otherwise it'll interfere with the d-pad and buttons. Once you're done you snap the new covers on top of the Vita's joysticks and you're done! The end result looks like this.
The total "mod" took me about 15 minutes.
Case as in a carrying case or a cover?
I own a Hori hard case (P4G one), Hori clamshell (P4G one), and Hori silicon case. All Hori products are excellent. xD
The Hori Skin looks very snug. Only downside is coverage of the PS button. I can fix that myself, though.

IMO any case that is going to be used to protect the vita from drops and such is going to be a bit thicker than a case made to prevent scratches. If you want just a hard case I would check out this amazon case. What I would suggest doing tho is getting a carrying case like this and buying a rubber cover or a nice personalized skin. And of corse always use a screen protector.
I use three things to protect my Vita: a case, screen protector, and silicone protector
I got one of these and it makes those buttons raised just enough to make a difference

That's the Hori silicon case he was talking about.

I got this one from Target a few years back, and I can vouch for it. It doesn't add much bulk, and doesn't obscure the buttons at all, but finding one might be a little bit of a task (though I still see them at various Target/Gamestop locations). I haven't dropped my Vita more than a foot or two with it on, so I can't speak to how well it would absorb a shock, but it did protect it from scratches.
