I have bought the Dark Smoke TPU case for the Droid Incredible. I am very Pleased with this case. I had came from a Silicone Case with very bad experiences.
PROS
Lightweight
Doesn't stick to pocket
Nice design
Cons
Attracts scratches easy

I just got my TPU case in the mail yesterday, black with smoked back. Here's my take on it:
I already had one of those black silicone hard rubber-ish feeling cases on my phone and I liked it, but it had kind of a honeycome back and I couldn't see the back of the phone like the words HTC and my little droid eating an apple sticker, so I bought a TPU smoked case.
I like how I can see through the smoke
I like how the rubber-ish silicone part of the TPU case is just like my old case
I don't like how the buttons on the case take more pressing than my old case did to activate the phone's button underneath. My old case had little indents underneath the case buttons so it made pressing the buttons easier.
The hybrid smoked backing does scratch easy. So far I have one day of use on it, and already I'm getting typical scuffs and scratches all over it
I'm thinking my old case offers a little more protection than this new TPU case
I like the price of the TPU case, set my back 6 bucks shipped
I like how it fits like a glove
I like the hard backing idea they have and being able to see through the smoke

Overall, I'd buy another TPU case if need be, but if they start offering my old case with a non-honeycome more see-through backing, although not a completely hard backing like the TPU case, I'd buy one of those first.

I've had it for a long time. Only thing I don't like is that its harder to put on/off than silicone. Doesn't add much bulk and liking the fact that you see through the back

Ordering one of these to modify for use with the 2150 mAh extended battery. I'll post pics of my mod when I'm done. Thanks for the review, this thing is dirt cheap and still hard plastic. Stoked.

I'm thinking of a new option since the silicone sticks in the pocket and attracts the lint too xD if I can find a case like this cheap then I'm sold

I ordered the same case, but was white, and I hated it, to install, or remove it, the phone has to "give" just a little, also the front sides of the phone's touch screen are hard to get to and you have to push the case out of the way. Also found power/lock buttons, and volume buttons were hard to press. I ordered another that looks just like it, but has no hard plastic, and i love it!


Also, I bought the case for 7.95 free shipping off ebay, they have the black case, and the clear case for under 7
