Talk about speaking to fast. I got my flexishield today. It is just like the posted pictures. Its a REALLY snug fit and barely adds any thickness. Its shiny and slick. It doesnt attract dust but dust will stick to it. Its a lot easier to remove the dust off of it than a regular silicone case. It slides in and out of my pocket a lot better than a silicone case. There are cutouts for everything except the volume rocker (harder to press now). My headphones were able to reach the jack (i have a straight line audio input, not L shaped). Overall very satisfied. Highly recommended.
Oh yea it does attract fingerprints though. but not a big deal. its just a case.

I got it off Ebay, this is the seller I used:
It is completely clear and has a subtle cross hatching effect on the back. Fits snugly, does get the inevitable dust trapped inside which takes about 5 seconds once a week to clean. The headphone socket is slightly restricted and I find I have to be a bit firmer with the jack plug than I would like.
The clock is part of 'Beautiful Widgets' by LevelUp Studio.
This is NOT a genuine Flexishield case, Flexishield cases have a cutout for the rocker.

Going to put another vote in for the Flexishield..ordered off e-bay for 6 bucks, shipped from Hong Kong, so it's likely the same one most of the others are talking about.
I wanted one that would protect my phone but still maintain the clean look of the phone without a skin on it...the Flexishield is perfect, adds barely any bulk to the phone at all, fits perfectly with all the right cutouts, and best of all it was only 6 bucks. You get all the protection from a skin and it doesn't take away from the look of the phone.
I plan on buying a couple more, one for a friend and keep a couple for myself for when mine gets old. Highly recommend, I've tried some other more expensive ones and this one beats them all hands down.

Aye I did the same, got about half a dozen of them kicking about, they are so cheap it doesn't matter if you lose them

Surely if you loose one you have lost your phone and no longer need the covers?

Ah good point!
but then I'd have to buy a Legend Al
I like the gel cover also, 2 small problems though. If I use the belt holster, it's pretty tight to slide in and out of holster. The other problem is I use a dock for my Hero on my desk, you can't use it with the gel cover on. Some days I use holster with no gel cover, some days i use the gel cover with no holster on my belt.
Hope im not breaking any laws here, just wanted to make sure that this is the correct product before purchase, as after reading this post its left me wanting to get one as well! Is this the genuine product? NEW CLEAR FLEXISHIELD GEL SKIN CASE COVER FOR HTC HERO on eBay (end time 18-Apr-10 13:25:55 BST)
