Does anyone have on? If so, how do you like? I currently have the Otterbox Defender Series Case and like it a lot. Only thing I do not like is how big it makes the phone look. Once I saw the Red one I instantly fell in love with it and am seriously considering buying it.

it doesn't make the phone big tbqh... Still thinner than my gf's tbolt
Yeah, that's the main reason I want to get it. I feel that with my Otterbox Defender Series case on, it makes the phone huge and virtually unrecognizable.

I would like to know what you think after you get one.

I tried out the Cruzer case, at joelmic24's request. As the review linked to above says, it's high quality, scratch resistant polyurethane - pretty sturdy. I've kept my phone in my pocket with keys, thrown it into a gym bag with all kinds of stuff, and no scratches appear on it. It's a one-piece case with a very firm fit, that doesn't add much bulk to the phone. The surface is glossy and smooth, but they seem to have found the right balance between being smooth enough to pull out of your pocket without turning your pants inside out vs. so smooth you can't hold on to it. In fact, it has a really nice feel to it.

It fits into all docks I tried (car dock and standard dock), as well as my TuneBelt Armband (it actually slips into the armband easier than my phone does with the Incipio Feather case). The issue I had with the Incipio Silicrylic case not always detecting it was in a dock does not occur with the Cruzer. All necessary ports/inputs are open but still protected - the Cruzer feels like it offers better protection than the Incipio Feather.

I've gotten several comments on the Android design as well - ranging from 'How cute!' from my girlfriend to 'Cool - what is it?' from a luddite friend. If you check out the review above or look at it on Amazon, there are several colors available - I have the white, but I think the orange is pretty cool... At any rate, this is a nice, fun, inexpensive case that provides a pretty good degree of protection. I like the sleek look of the Incipio Feather, but I'm having a hard time deciding which case to keep on my phone... maybe I'll switch back and forth depending on my mood. Pics below:

Wow, I really like how the white one looks. Not sure whether I want the red or the white now.

I have the clear one (not androidified, but same case by cruzer) and I love that it fits into both the home and car dock (when you remove the insert)

There was a buy 2 get one free deal going, and a 30% off coupon... so I talked myself into getting Red, White and black... Was mostly debating between the Red and Black.

I meant to post about it here... but it slipped my mind... sorry...

the 30% off was listed on a review someone linked to from here... then the buy 2 get one free was just listed on amazon on the product page.

I woulda spent less if I had just picked one and rolled with it instead of letting the coupons talk me into buying extra crap.

yes, very much. before them I had the silicone one that verizon had, and it was much more floppy with a stickier texture.

these are much more rigid and dont pull away from the sides at all. The surface is grippy, enough that it wont easily slip out of your hand, but it's smooth/slick enough not to pull your pocket inside out or collect a bunch of lint. My one minor complaint is that it doesnt cover the power button, so you have to reach into a little hole to get to the button, I would have prefferred a cover for it, like the volume rocker has. I have gotten used to it, and it would be almost impossible for the power button to be hit accidentally.

so definitely recommend it!
