I have power button issues also but love the case. I feel it protects the device exceptionally well and has a great build quality. The rubber and plastic line up perfectly and the rubber is in the needed locations (corners). It is difficult to put on as the older silicone/rubber blend became loose quickly. This should hold up better and stay firm. The plastic has a slight texture to it and makes it non slippery. The problem is not with the power button not lining up. Looks like the silicone mold had a defect, which I pointed out to the Otterbox people and will get a newer case sent out to me soon (already shipped 2 day air). The issue being that the area that presses onto the power button is not complete.

Well to each his own of course, but I have to say that the rubber being needed on the corners (instead of plastic) makes 0 sense. The corners take the worst beating, so they should have the strongest protection - a la how it's done on the Seidio Active case (plastic corner over rubber).
Oh, the texture in the back - completely insignificant in creating grip for my hands. The texture is on this semi-shiny plastic, so it's pointless. And I can place this case (with phone inside) and slide it right along a clean table like an air hockey puck. With the rubberized coating on the Seidio it's not as easily done.
But yes, I think this hulk skin (;-)) will protect me just fine until the Seidios come out. And now I guess I should pray they don't change the design of those. ;-)
