Last Thursday I received a case from here, but there was a lot going on that day so I was delayed in posting pics and a review. 
Here's the goods:
The other cases, for comparison, are the Rearth Ringke in black and an argyle style TPU I got off Amazon. The Ringke case was awesome in the beginning- fit with the car dock with insert removed, worked with the standard dock with alternate cover plate, had a decent grip to it...but just stretched out over time and got to be annoying. The argyle TPU I got when I first got the phone, but it didn't work with the docks at all and showed fingerprints very easily. So I figured I would give this one a try.
The pros:
-the two-tone style is kinda catchy, the matte finish section gives it an interesting feel
-it's a little less bulky than the other TPU case
-doesn't really show any fingerprints
-pretty tight fit, feels pretty sturdy
-most ports easily accessible (volume rocker a little tricky) and it's easier to swipe your finger on the biometrics scanner than the other TPU I've used
The cons:
-not that easy to get off, if you prefer docking without a case or to remove SIM and external SD for frequent flashing.
-not a fit with docking, although you could press firmly enough to register, it's not reliable
-the front lip offsets a bit at the charge/hdmi ports because the material is thinner at that spot, the only area that the case doesn't cover the edge of the screen protector
-doesn't cover the volume rocker, and it is not that easy to acces
All in all, if you aren't one for silicone/jelly cases and you don't use the docks, this would be a very good case for you. It seems pretty rugged for a TPU case, I am not nervous about the phone staying protected with it on. I'm going to rock it for a while, I'll update if I think of anything else.
