I just got my new case today as well as my matte anti-grease screen protector and here is a review.
In short, I love the case an it met all my expectations. For $17.99 I think it's a great deal. It's about as close to an Otterbox style case as you can get for the Centura. I didn't realize the hard outer shell came in two pieces but they snap together so firmly, they are hard to get apart. In fact there is a slot that I had to use a penny in to even take the plastic shell apart once it was on, and even then it's hard to get off. This is good because If I drop it, it's not likely to fall apart. The only down side is if I need to take the battery out.I'm sure it will get easier the more times I take it off and I get used to the process. However, I may just save my spare battery for the future because it would be a pain talking it off all the time,and I would be afraid it would start to get loose. It's also made of a textured plastic for a good grip.
(On a side note, I will also probably have plenty of juice left by the end of the day because I'm about to transfer to a position at work where I don't have as much "freedom". This means I won't be able to use my phone anytime I want so I'm sure that will really extend my battery life
)
The inner green silicone is soft and flexible, not TPU and fit perfectly.Once the hard shell is installed the covers for the headphone jack and usb port fit very snugly. It does add a little weight to the phone, but that's ok to me.
One other thing that I like is that the silicone part completely covers all edges of the screen protector by about 1/8", which means it doesn't push on the edges and cause the corners to come up.
