Feel: It feels pretty nice. The power button makes it more sensitive than it is without the case, as it's directly on the top middle rather than slightly toward the front, and sometimes you can't feel that you've pressed it. The volume rocker, on the other hand, makes it much easier to determine if you're touching the up or down rocker without looking. When placing your phone on its face on a table, it's slightly raised so you don't have to worry about it scratching your screen if the surface is perfectly flat.
Look: It looks great, but I got the black one, and the rubber part of it is a lint collector. If you have a lot of lint in your pocket, you're definitely going to see a little bit of it on the sides.
Sound: Sound from the speakerphone is great. However, if the phone is laying on its back with the screen up, you can't feel the vibrate. On the face you can feel it decently. I keep the phone in my pocket with the face against my leg, so I can feel it vibrate most of the time.
Durability: The inner part of the case just feels like rubber, and the outer part of it is hard plastic. In my opinion, the inner part could be a little more sturdy, but with the outer part, it works well. The plastic outer back picks up fingerprints quite well, but it wipes away just as easily. I'm not so sure how well it will hold up to scratches. Only time will tell.
Overall, I think this is a pretty good case. The weight difference can be overcome, and with enough vibrate for me to feel it when it's in my pocket, no sound distortion, and pretty solid, I think I can live with it for two years. I give it a 4/5.

once rooted and on a ROM, we may be able to crank up the vibrate settings for you.

In addendum to my original observations, I would like to state that the inner part of the case is definitely a dust magnet, but the vibrate has gotten better. I can definitely feel it and hear it better than I could two weeks ago. Maybe it just wasn't settled in yet.
Anyway, definitely a great buy if you don't mind a little lint on your case.
