I was looking at that case...I would like to see pics and hear your thoughts once you received it if you don't mind.
I just received the Ballistic LS Smooth case. I previously received the Diztronic case.
The Ballistic Life Style case is made of a grey TPU, which lacks the soft touch feel of the Diztronic case. Perhaps it's the fact that the Diztronic case is almost completely smooth, and the Ballistic case has a textured feel to it. I'd have to guess that the Ballistic case would be less easily dropped, because of the textured back.
I also like the slight curves around the edges, on the back of the Ballistic case, as compared to the completely smooth back of the Diztronic case. The Ballistic case feels more narrow in the hand, to me, then the Diztronic. Not sure if that's accurate or not, but it does feel that way.
The Ballistic LS case comes with four different colored, interchangable corner bumpers, black, orange, teal and grey. I replaced the orange bumpers that came installed in the case, with the Teal bumpers. Not too gaudy, but it gives the case a little bit of style.Installing the bumpers is a little fidgety... you need to make sure you put them in right side up, and then you need to keep pressing on them, from the inside of the case, until the nub pops out and lays flat! I guess it's something most people won't be doing very often, but it is a little bit of a hassle.
Buttons... power button is covered with a raised button, and I find it MUCH easier to turn the DNA on and off, with the Ballistic case on. Volume buttons are also raised, and seem to work very well. The integrated power and volume buttons are much more pronounced, and easier to find by touch, then on the Diztronic case, but I didn't have any issues with the buttons on the Diztronic case, either.
Cut-outs for speaker, USB port, mic etc. are all there, and seem positions fine. The cut-out for the speaker seems to be positions a little bit low, or it's over cut, so that you do see not only the speaker but also just above the speaker when looking at the opening on the back, but this is the same with the Diztronic case.
Overall, it's a very nice case, and feels great in the hand! I think this case, for some reason, just feels nicer holding it then the Diztronic.
Honestly, I'm waiting for the Seidio cases to come out, so I purchased both of these simply to tide me over and protect the DNA until next month, when (I hope) Seidio releases their case. I've owned a couple of Seidio cases and really like them!
Feel free to ask any questions... Sorry for the quality of the photos, they were taken by my son, with his iPhone 5, under poor lighting conditions, and he was in a little bit of a rush! (hey... teenagers.....)
Both the Diztronic and Ballistic cases seem to charge via my LG inductive charging pad, without issue.
