I saw that Case-Mate has their Pop! case for the Thunderbolt out. Ordered one earlier, and it's already shipped. Should have it by Monday.

Now that i have the TB in my hand, im debating not putting a case on it...The damn things so big and heavy already. It would truly be a little to much with a case on it...
i think im going to go naked on mine doesnt seem like it needs a case

Thats what I'm waiting for. It was the best case for the Evo.

Does this case feel more like plastic or rubber? I hate rubber ones because when putting in and out of my pants it pulls the pockets.
And what color you think? White or Black?

small review after the pics
Well the case mate pop case came QUICK, like 4 days when it was 6-10 days free shipping. First thing I noticed was that no free screen protector was included. This is the first Case Mate case that did not come with one. The case is a silicon plastic shell combo but the two pieces are bonded together. It's feels like a very high quality case and provides the BEST protection that I have ever experienced. Better than the Case Mate Tough cases I uses to buy for my Nexus.
Sorry the pics suck I was in bad light and in a hurry. The pics at their website represent the case better and are very accurate to what you get.
My only issue with the case is that the damn thing holds on the Tbolt like it never wants to let go.
Which is good...but bad for when you want to get it out often. You "pop" the Tbolt in but to get it out is not as easy. I've found that pushing on the case with my thumbs at the top and kinda working it until enough of the Tbolt comes out to where you can grab it is the best method(you can push on the camera to make this easier but I don't recommend that). You just have to be careful that you don't man-handle your device getting it out. If you plan on taking it in and out of the case a LOT, this may not be the case for you as it really takes care and effort.The big upside is protection. You can lay it face down and the case raises the screen so as to keep it elevated from any surface. You can tell as soon as you place the Tbolt in this case that if you drop it on a corner, etc.., that it will be WELL PROTECTED. For me, it's better than the Otterbox Commuter or Case Mate Tough cases for the Nexus One in regards to true protection.
The rubber grips are fantastic and really make the case feel great in your hand. I really love this feature. It really gives it a high end feel. The smooth plastic shell makes pocketing very easy. All the cut-outs line up perfectly with the noise cancellation ports and microphones, etc..The volume buttons are easily depressed thru the case but the power button is a little harder. definitely noticeable if you are used to pressing the power button while naked.
Just sitting here and feeling this thing and looking at it, I really feel this is the best case I have ever purchased. I would have to give it a 8/10. one point off for being so hard to remove from the case and another point off because nothing is ever a perfect 10
This case comes close tho. If you leave your phone in the case most of the time, I highly recommend this case for the best protection you can really hope to get.Hope this helps.
Can you post pics with the phone in it?

It really does. I've never been a fan of white phones or white cases, but this one really looks cool. I think the kickstand back there helps the over-all look. I went into the kitchen to get something to drink and sat it down, and when I turned around I saw it sitting there and boy did it really hit me how nice it looked. Best case I ever bought.
Dang now im going to have to buy one.. Impluse buys smh
Edit:anyone got a good discount code?

one problem with Pop! case is power button is really hard to push in...like really hard. You get used to it when you have to push it in 100x a day on this phone but you will notice how hard it is.
Other than that the case is great. I like the size of the phone now. It used to slip out of my hand and i almost dropped my phone 100x. Got the Pop! case and havent had that. Phone feel great and case as perfect.
