This case is my new favorite accessory for the Thunderbolt. I got it for 7 bucks and it's great item. It's similar to the Case Mate POP! in that there are two distinct material in play, the black TPU material for the grip area, and the clear plastic/polycarbonate(?) material for the back. Good fit and finish, with a very premium feel in hand. Design wise, it looks exactly like the bumper case for the iPhone 4. It would be nice there there were more color options (e.g. black, red, white, blue) or finish (chrome or aluminum). I like how the volume button got covered with its own (semi) raised button area. And, as with other clear plastic/polycarbonate case, it does show scratches as easily as you slide it around. What do you expect.
Two minor demerits though, since the power button is treated in the same way, there is much more give to the top area (relatively speaking), which means I get the same problem as the Pop! case, where you really have to press down harder on the power button area in order to activate it. And the kickstand area is a bit tight, requiring that I use my finger nail to pick out the kickstand piece. However, I don't mind it as much since I don't use the kickstand very much. It's a minor niggle.
Overall, the case is only 7-10 dollars (depending on which eBay sellers you happen upon) and at those price point, I have to recommend that everyone try it out. I'll have to buy myself a couple more cases after this.
