Kind of hard to tell, but it looks like it covers the volume and power buttons.
So, something to consider if that will bug you or interfere with the functionality of those buttons.

Yep buttons are covered but it does not hinder the operation of the buttons.
 
Finally got my argyle case from fommy. Fits snug for the most part. Wide open around the camera,lifts it just enoughso it doesnt touch w/o adding bulk. Very satisfied.
 
so i ended up getting the TPU argyle case seen here:

and i must say, i love it. Much better than the silicone case. it actually slides in my pocket without getting stuck. Also seems thinner too, but its still thick enough to not hit the camera when lying it down. It also fits perfect onto the phone. the sides are not loose at all. its a perfect snug fit.

I originally wanted to go with the smoke gray one, but the clear one IMO is better. It shows the argyle pattern much better than the smoke. This case will be replacing my silicone one i got from sprint.

I am still waiting on my amzer clear argyle case too. Im sure they will be very similar, but i think the cutouts for the flash/speaker/camera are different.

Once i get that case, ill chime in again to compare them.
 
Skunk, I have the Amzer. The cutouts are the exact as your ebay case. Not like they pictured on their site with separate holes.

Just got mine yesterday.
 
I have the Amzer silicone one in black. It's a great case, but I can see it can get nicked/marked up due to it being part silicone (the sides are gel). The real benefit is that it's very easy to get to the power and volume buttons. It covers both, but still easily to press in.

How hard is it to get to the power and volume buttons on the TPU argyle case? Thanks. It looks pretty nice.

I find it pretty easy to press the power and volume buttons on the case. Was quite surprised actually

Oh really? That's good to hear. I might have to check it out. Previously, I had the HTC hard case from the Sprint store that I'm about to return tomorrow. From videos I've seen, the HTC one seems like it is the same size as the Seidio case (which will make it harder to get to the power and volume). But you did say the TPU one is thinner, which is what I'm looking for in a case.

yep...it def seems thinner than the sprint silicone case....plus its such a better fit on this phone.
 
Just ordered the smoked argyle after reading this thread. Looks like a nice case. Kinda trendy too. It looks like they are in CA. I should have it in a few days. I'll be sure to take pics/video.
 
Awesome. I put my order in today for one. It seems like there is enough thickness on the sides to put the phone face down and not contact the screen. Am I right?

Oh, and for those still shopping:
Search "Wii" on Bing for the 8% BCB eBay link.

yea, the TPU case has just enough thickness where it does not hit the camera when set down.

I had Body Glove case...

What happened to it? I have the Body Glove case and do not care for it. Initially it was nice but it kept coming unsnapped. I returned the first one and the second one is doing the same thing as well. I am debating on the hard case or the silicone case. Anyone have any recommendations? I am looking for something that wont get stuck in my pockets and attract lint.
 
I'll put in a late thumbs up for the sprint silicone case. It fits well and has seperate cut outs on the back instead of one big one like many of the ebay cases. Got it for $10 at the sprint store.
