Hi, TPU i think is more hard than silicon/gel and more thin than gel/silicon skin.

Anyway I am going to buy tpu

PS I just received mine from VF GR

I'm not sure but I think Silicone is softer and doesn't allow much design freedom.

TPU is harder and allows for all sorts of cover design to be created.

Overall I think TPU is superior.

Then there are also still hard plastic cases though like the Armour case I got for my Neo.
