I bought that case as I needed something that day. It is not my favorite in that it's glossy black and fingerprints are still an issue. That said, I dropped the phone and it landed on the corner and that case protected that phone perfectly. I am not seeing so much the bulk but I have been using a DROIDX for 3 years with a case and that was a thicker than many current phones and this feels fine. I actually do not care for phones that are very thin and I find many far too slippery. This has some grip.
