Default Incipio Silicrylic Incredible 2 Case??

I found this on Amazon, and was wondering what you guys think about its quality. I currently have an Otterbox Defender, and I'm kinda wanting to downsize. Anyone have any experience with Incipio cases??

I have that exact case, and I love it, even comes with a new screen protector that's very nice... I had an otterbox, but I hated how bulky it made my phone... this isn't nearly as bulky and gives the phone a good deal of protection as well... I currently alternate between this and an Incipio Feather case depending on what I'm doing and how much protection the phone needs.

Awesome. I'm also wanting to keep my otterbox but I know the screen protector gets in the way of the one in the otterbox. (experience with zagg invisibleSHIELD). Could I just take the screen out of the otterbox to use the one that comes with the incipio and pop the OB on whenever I needed it??

I think I'm sold.... Now I'm trying to decide if I want the black/black one or the white/gray one......

Also, has anyone bought that one from that link?? If so does that pack come with the screen protector?? If not which ones do you use??

Hey - question for people who have this case.

Is the inner layer pure silicone? Could you cut the back out to accomodate the extended battery? I have had a really hard time cutting up TPU, but I would gladly try to cut silicone. That seems much better.

If anyone has one of these and wants to sell, that would be AWESOME. I would love to see if I could just cut the back out for the extended battery and use this case like a bumper.

So - anyone who owns this case, would that work or am i crazy?

p.s. i am actually crazy so if you could speak just to the idea rather than to me and my own crazy, that would be super.

The inner silicone ripped for me. I didn't do anything weird to it, and only had it for about 1.5 months. I don't really recommend it.

Could it have been a lemon maybe?? I mean it looks good. I know someone has one for their iPhone and it seems pretty solid.

I was thinking either this one or the commuter.

I like the look of the case (I have the white/grey one), but the silicon is super flimsey and cheap. I believe it would rip. I use that case very infrequently, and didn't like the screen cover.
Here. This. Now.

Hmmmmmmm.... What are some other recommended cases?? I looked and I'm not sold on the otterbox commuter. I want a similar case, but with durability and reliability.
