Thanks for the review, I ordered one from Asia after seeing this. I don't like the cases they sell on Amazon this seems to be something I am looking for !

Thanks for the great review. I bought a TPU case from ebay but since I always took it off and on to swap batteries it started to stretch out and not fit any more.
After reading your review I bought the SoftBank TPU case and it is WAY better and a little firmer so it does not stretch at all so should last a lot longer. Thanks again.

Thanks a lot Blitzed_Penguin and 917. It's nice to get some positive feedback from any of these reviews.
No problem at all
I will let you know what I think about the case once I receive it.
I'm currently used to quality switcheasy cases , but they only do them for apple products.

As I said I will be reporting about my experience on this case.
Packaging: Well it came in a little plastic wrapping , so its basically the case on its own. Which does not matter because its simply a case who cares for the look of it
Feeling: the case somehow a mixture of plastic and silicon. You can basically bend it but it still is much sturdier than a normal silicon case. Nevertheless the outside of it has a plastic feeling and not silicon. I really like that as I hate silicone cases.
The case definitely gives you some additional grip.
The backside is like 30% transparent on my grey/black case. I also like that because I had a scratch when my phone dropped.without the case and its not visible now.
The bevel around the phone is much more transparent and has a silicone like feeling. The transition between the back and the bevel is a little bit Sharp on some places of my example.
Usage: the biggest downside for me is the hard to press power button. It is really awkward. On the other hand the volume buttons improved imo. I used to press them inocassionaly. And now they are just fine. The cuttings are also good also it seems like the camera is standing out a little bit.

I just noticed that mine is a little bit different to yours. I might post pictures later
I got it on for now, I will be looking how well it performs.

Hi guys.
I'm giving this case away at the end of the month.
It is boxed and was only used for the review.
If you want it - drop me a pm with a delivery address.
First come first served. (I only have the one of this case.)
Please only ask if you can generally benefit from it.
As soon as I see a PM - I'll update this thread.
Grant.

Thanks. (It's just a hobby but I'm pleased it helps some people.)
I prefer the Brighton Net TPU case which I use, but the SoftBank one is pretty similar.
