Default $4 Black Silicone Case from Amazon

My kids love watching movies on my wife's phone and have dropped it a few times, but luckily no scratches or dents yet. Since there weren't many choices locally, I decided to get the "Black Silicone Case" from Amazon since it was around $4 shipped.

It shipped from Van Nuys, CA and took three days... which is a little odd because I'm in Hollywood, CA which is about 10 miles away... Thanks USPS!

The case is pretty thick and seems like it'll take a few drops. It's on par with other silicone cases in terms of feel. The fit is good, nice and tight, and ports all line up.

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Silicone...dp/B003Z741PK/

I got the black Amzer jelly case from Amazon. IMHO the quality is perfect.

I got this one because it has the textured grip feel on the sides and because the corners are thicker. I figure that thicker corners would do better at shock isolation.

It's pretty good quality. The only other silicone case I've had some time with was for the Blackberry Bold and it was Blackberry branded. I'd say they're the same. I'd say it's the same as the Amzer one but a lot cheaper. I'm not a big fan of the Amzer cases because of the design on the silicone and their hard case having the extra material at the top, with hole for the sensors, it's bit tacky looking.

It's really soft, the edges around the screen give pretty easily. It's not soft to the point where the phone is going to pop right out, there's enough of a lip around the screen to keep that from happening. It's tight all the way around so the phone doesn't move around in it. Seriously though if you don't like it, you're only out $4. That was my reasoning anyway.
