Default just got my g2, need a grippy hardshell

so i just received my g2 in the mail today and i love it. I have a mt3g right now and have a little problem with dropping my phone so i want to protect this one. I remember seeing some people's droids with a really thin 2-piece grippy/rubbery hardshell that barely increased the size of the phone. does anybody know if there are any cases like this out for the g2 right now? or maybe know who made the one for the droid so i can look out for one for the g2?

I got the gel skin from tmobile, its real "grippy" and its hard under the rubber. Comes in 2 peices and snaps on. Well worth the 16.99 to me!

I have the body guard. Looks to be the same thing as the gel skin.

I too went with body glove and was quite satisfied. I posted a review on here, but to sum it up: it is very protective, but def. not as "grippy" as a gel case..but it also won't collect as my pocket lint as a gel case, in my experience. And yes, it does add a little bulk - maybe a little more than a gel?

I added a few files for good measure.
