Here are a couple of pictures...i took it with my droid x so you can't really tell how thick it is. I love how thick it is on the phone.

Yes it is rigid. It is not the flimsy type silicone cases that are out on the market. It is flexible but it is not flimsy at all(a mixture between hard plastic and silicone). This is the best (fitting wise) case I have come across and it isn't a struggle to use the buttons either like some of the others. If you are on the fence about buying one, do it. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. For $4 shipped with a screen saver why the hell not. Ebay out of China but it'll take a couple weeks to get here.:(

Anyone else looking on Ebay for them search terms "epik droid x".

Yeah I have tried numerous others and always come back to the Epik. They are very nice and fit the phone to a T. You won't be disappointed and like you said it even comes with a screen protector as well which is nice.... Hope you enjoy it!!!
 
My Epik case just showed up today... put it on, and while the fitment is spot on, I just can't see myself liking the thickness it adds to the phone (perhaps ive just gotten too used to a naked phone?). But if you're looking for some protection for you phone, this is a good, higher quality option for you.
Ill still be looking for a thinner case...

Could you take a couple pictures of the epik please? The sample pic on the website blows.
 
I still think the Verizon silicon cases are the best and thinnest - just bought another one, this time in purple (to match my new wallpaper, doncha know).

I had that cheap 2 piece case from Amazon...dropped my phone out of my lap getting out of a car over the weekend...case flew off and my phone got a bit scratched on one of the corners. Also, 1 or 2 of the tabs no longer lock shut anymore. I am on the hunt for a thin case that will hold up better...but I do not want a silicon one due to the difficulty with getting them in and out of pockets...
 
^^^^I've got that one now, not happy with it at all.
3 of the 6 snaps are broken, granted, I take my case more often then most.
These 2 pc designs are just flimsy, haven't seen one yet that's meant to go on and come back off frequently.
If you put it on and leave it on, like the way it looks and feels, it's probably fine.
I've got 2 other style cases coming, hopefully one of them suits me better.

^^^^ Is this the one you had? I just ordered it, will post thoughts when I've tried it.

Yes, that's the one. I leave the case on 24/7, never remove it. It's pretty much worthless now after a month or so. The case won't even stay on anymore. I'm not complaining, I spent like $4 or $5 total on it, but I'm just commenting on the quality. Obviously, you're not getting a high quality case. It served me fine for preventing minor nicks and scratches for a month, but I would be very worried if it were to ever drop. It was very thin, however, but obviously you then sacrifice protection.

I ordered the epik case for now and will be receiving it tomorrow. It'll work fine, I'm sure, until I come across something else I like.
 
From the pictures the epik case looks too much like the TPU case I currently have, which adds too much bulk to the phone for my liking. But definitely good on protection.

As long as it will protect my phone once from a drop, I'll be happy. I'm kind of expecting it to break apart on impact but absorb the impact so the phone doesn't feel it, kind of like a race car is designed to break apart on impact?
 
Got my Epik today, so much better than that 2 pc chunk of crap. :D
Less bulk (by a tiny smidge) and not gonna break.

Is it gummy?

Like silicone? No
Like sticking your phone in a ziploc bag and sucking the air out? Kinda
Very slight resistance, but not sticky at all.
It does not stick while coming out of my front or back pockets of my jeans, that was my biggest worry.
