Thumbs up Cheap case looks and works pretty good.

I ordered this case for my wife:
http://cgi.ebay.com/SILVER-BLACK-FLO...item4156763633

It came in and it fits perfectly, its slightly rubberized feeling so its grippy and its slim. I tested it and it works in a pocket without sticking to the pocket liner.

The nicest thing I like is that the graphics are several layers deep, giving it an interesting depth to it. Ill try to take some pics with my Tbolt of her Tbolt in the case.

Not bad for 6 bucks. The only drawback I noticed but she does not care about is that some of the graphics of the front and back piece do not line up perfectly on the seam.

I also ordered her another similar case but more flowery. Ill post when that comes in.

I bought a solid black one from the same seller. It is a nice case for the price. Looks good and appears to be good quality. Only time will tell if it begins to peel.

Being a 2 piece case, how well does it hold together from a fall? If it landed on its edge is it going to pop open?

Hard to tell. I don't want to drop it and test it for obvious reasons.

But it does snap together pretty well and its not terribly easy to open it back up and take it off.

Here are a few pictures of the second case I ordered for her from Amazon. This one looks even better than the other. And it snaps the same, front/back, but it feels a little less sturdy. It does not snap as strongly as the other.

Here are two pics of the two pieces of the case.





Power button opening is quite large so my entire thumb pad fits well and the button is not obstructed at all.

I have no idea on name for finish, they are rubberized plastic. So they are grippy on the outside and won't slip. But they are smooth plastic on the inside. Also, its not grippy to where it clings to pocket liners, its fine in my jeans and in my khakis and suit for work.

I just need to find one I like for myself now. Maybe something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-ThunderBol...pd_rhf_shvl_32

or this:

Also, some people praise TPU cases, what s TPU? Plastic or the jelly kind?
