Thanks for the reassurance . That is what I was thinking too...I think a large part of the problem is the weird dimensions with a flat and thin phone. The Razr felt even worse and that is why I never even considered it. I was thinking of getting an extended battery for the GN simply to improve the ergonomics of the phone, but I think this case should suffice. It certainly does seem to look like the most polished of all the TPU cases at its price point.The case material isn't all that grippy, but just having the case on makes the phone much easier to hold. Without the case I felt like the phone would always jump out of my hands, but the slight size and weight added by the case makes it feel much more comfortable in hand.
