Default Fishbone case for epic..best case hands down w/pics

I didnt know how this case was going to look and behave as far as protection and not interfering with the sliding hinge seeing as how the case only costs 14.99 from amazon. I must say that unlike the sprint snap on case and the body glove black and silver case, this one has no, I repeat zero effect on the keyboard sliding open and closed. The case has smooth lines (im all about asthetics) and nothing looks sloppily put together or cheap. The red part is soft touch plastic and the silicone is on par with what you would get from otterbox....i give it a 9.9 out of 10 only due to the fact that the upper left hand corner is slightly difficult to put on securely...you really have to make sure that no part of the silicone is out of place( i know, i know this seems obvious but looking at it at a glance i didnt see anything out of line....i took it off and started over and realized where i made a mistake...anyways, I know why you looked at my post so here are the pics.
Heres the link

Update 12-02-10
I have had some problems with the middle clip that sits under the keyboard on the same side as the volume rocker staying latched on so i cut it so it sits even with the silicone layer, I didnt want the clip scratching the silver border on the phone. the clip i am referring to is the second clip form the left hand side of the case in picture 1 and 3, although in the picture the clip sits even with the silicone already i just clipped of the sharp edge of it.

update 12-4-10
I put the black case on and havent had any fitment problems at all....so it looks like the problem with the red middle clip was a isolated incident. updated pics on page 5

I also like how the case still allows you to see the chrome lip around the edge of the phone...on a side note, my wife was the one who accepted the delivery from ups and when she opened the box, she called me immediately ad asked me to order this case for her....this is a very big deal because she pinches pennies until they bleed....she already has a case on her epic, but she had to have this one too....I got her the pink and black one...these cases will take over the world...one epic at a time....:P

cool case, how much would you say this adds to the size of the phone? Don't suppose you could shoot a pic of 1 epic in the case next to your wifes w/out a case?

Butt naked epic vs fully clothed...this thind adds hardly any bulk to the epic...the sprint case and others add more bulk than this one.
