Default Thin, snug silicone cover

Can anyone recommend a thin and snug silicone cover that does not cover up all the buttons (at least not on the front)?

I just need something to take the edge of if I were to drop it, without adding too much bulk or hanging loose.

So far best choices seem to be boxwave or the one expansys will get, but haven't tried either:

actually this doesn't look too bad either:

Has anyone bought one of these? Just curious if it's actually a hard case and if so how you can slip it on and keep a tight fit

thats pretty slick looking, Looks to me though to maybe be a combination of a hard case (the back) and silicone (the sides).. Definitely looks good regardless..

Default I have this

I have the HTC branded silicone case and it not very snug but it was all I could get. It was the only choice for me.

seems a little thick on the top side. I was looking for something very thin, like the ones for blackberry curve if you've seen them, very slim, very tight and blends in well with it

They look quite good actually, quite thin. I've just ordered a blue one and a clear one. Only cost £5.50 all in to get it to the UK. Will leave a review when they turn up.

I am currently using one of the clear silicone cases from ebay, they are ok but they add a bit of bulk to the phone which I don't like.

Yeah I was thinking of getting a black one but I've seen our (HTC Magic) phone with a black silicone case on it and it looks really weird. Like too much black on that nice white body, doesn't look good.

Think clear and blue look quite cool tho.
