Default [Q] did anyone try those cheap silicone cases from ebay?

for example:

http://cgi.ebay.com/SAMSUNG-i9100-GA...ht_1357wt_1198

http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Case-3x-Sc...ht_2109wt_1139

I've ordered the 2nd and didn't get it yet but I'm afraid it will be crappy

I always make sure i get the gel case not the silicone ones as they really attract the dirt/dust , and some say they have a special coating , "YEAH RIGHT"

Should have got one of these.

The textured sides give very nice grip. The description says silicon/gel, but I'm told by someone on this forum it's actually TPU. I can tell you it's nice and firm and feels very protective. Bought mine from a shop called chitterchatter for £5, where I also got my phone from too. Case is even cheaper on ebay. Here's pics I took of mine. Screen protector needs redoing, too many bubbles, lol.

I originally bought one of those silicone ones in the first post, it was quite loose on my phone and the surface kind of stuck to my jeans pocket making it annoying to take out, so I then bought one of the gel/tpu cases that looks identical to the one in the post above, which does a sterling job.

I bought this from ebay for £2.90 and am very pleased with it, collects a bit of dust at the bottom but a lift and gentle blow gets rid of that. Feels grippy and adds a nice bit of bulk to the phone aswell.
