Note: Photos taken back before powersupport iPhone 4 screen protectors were released. What is shown here is my iPhone 4 with a modified powersupport anti glare 3gs screen protector. I even punched my own hole for the front facing camera. That's why it looks so ghetto and doesn't quite fit right.
- I picked this case up for $5 shipped from ebay.  It was a US seller so I got it in 3 days.
- It has a good feel.  I really do like TPU cases.  Fit, finish, and cut are pretty good.  It's a little more flimsy than the belkin grip vue.  The bottom is just slightly deformed and the center top bulges out just a tiny bit.  But overall it's not half bad.
- All the buttons are easy to press.
- The back is completely clear.  This is what happens when plastic meets glass:
Yup, it's a bubbly watery looking mess.
- I went ahead and did the sharpie trick.  I wasn't sure if I needed to but it's not like I was going to return this $5 case.
You can't even tell once the case is on.
- It can potentially interfere with screen protectors.  If you are careful you can take a dremel to the lip and sand them down just a bit.  It seemed to help.
Recommended.  For $5 you could do a lot worse.  I like the feel, the buttons work, it was dirt cheap.  I'll stick with this case until iSkin comes out with theirs unless I like the freebie case (I went with the Belkin Shield Micra.  Hopefully they fixed their button issue) I get from apple which won't arrive for another month.
UPDATE: 8/3/2010
- Monoprice just got some back in stock for about $3 shipped.  They should be very similar if not exactly the same as the one I reviewed here.
UPDATE: 8/21/2010
- I got the monoprice case in.  It's very similar to the ebay case but it's a bit thicker.  Also, it doesn't quite fit as well and the case can arrive a bit deformed.  It's ok for the price but IMO the ebay one was quite a bit better.
