What case do you have/are you getting?

I got the 6 dollar one from amazon with the screen protectors and stylus. I was only going to use this until I found a really good case, however, I have come to like this one and will probably keep this for a while. It is a harder plastic but still rubbery and fits very snug.
 
was thinking about getting this case too, can you give a quick mini review when you get it?

Been using the Seidio (Active X Combo) for a few days now with the clairvue screen protectors.

Active X - works great. I had an otterbox on my Hero and this case is a similar amount of protection, but is thinner. The rubber sleeve feels great in the hand and offers good grip without making the phone bulky in the least. The only thing I dislike is that the plasticish ecoskeloton is a wee bit slippery. Not bar of soap slippery or slippery like the flimsy plastic cases, but not rubbery either. It is solid and has a nice feel, but will slide a little on a car dashbaord or such, not nearly like a plastic case or naked phone would, but a little. Overall... it is the best of the two cases I have had and also better than the other 3-4 I have played with in stores and on a friends Nexus S. It lifts the phone a bit so I feel good about setting it down screen down, and this also solves the sliding issue as the rubber sticks out furthest on the front. The clip is well built and fits even the biggest of belts (I actually think it could be a bit smaller). It rotates so you can wear the phone vertical or hortizantal, but honestly the cased phone isn't too big for my pockets and doesn't stick in them like my otterbox used to despite the rubber, so most of the time I just throw the phone in my pocket. The buttons actually press very easy through the case (which I like), but some people may prefer them being a little less touchy.

Oh - I also dropped the phone from about five feet while on my motorcycle, and not a ding, scratch or otherwise. Bounced all over the pavement too...

Claivue - first one installed poorly with lots of dust, but tried second after running shower in bathroom and prefection (glad you get 2). Not a bad protector, very clear, well cut (tiny bit small, but this makes it align easier and is unnoticible after case goeas on), but it doesn't resist finger oils or finger prints... but obviously that's the tradeoff with clairity (they make other types that resist fingerprints and oils, but aren't as clear).

Any questions on either let me know... definately recomend the case, clip is good, but not necessary if you like pocket carry which works because case is NOT too bulky. Screen proetectors were decent, but I wich you got three like with some other brands.
