I ordered the clear one from Tech 21 as well. After watching the video, at this point in time i do not believe there is another minimal case that can offer what this product does, in terms of protection. Side note.....i have been waiting FOREVER to get this in the mail lol. It was in Brooklyn, New York on Feb. 17th..and have still not received it to this day!!!!!!!! :/ Oh and can you confirm that the mic holes on the bottom work with verizon/att phones (the left mic hole should be elongated" i couldn't quit tell from the pics. thanks
