Anyone with experience on this one? Looks pretty nice but things I'm questioning ... will I be able to pull this thing out of my pocket, or be sticky? Could I use the dock with this (doubtful)? Dust attractor?

Never seen those, but they look pretty nice. I'm all for any case that pushes the thin thing.

1. Silicone is notorious for being sticky. Even with a matte finish, this will be harder to pull out of your pocket than a hard case, I'm guessing.

2. Which dock do you have? If it's a 3G dock, this likely won't fit. If it's a universal dock, then yeah you'll be fine.

3. Along with the pocket thing, you probably will get lint with a silicone cover.

It's still the best-looking silicone skin I've seen.

Did you order one k3n85?

I really like the look of that case. I'm not concerned about the issue with it being hard to get in and out of your pocket. I've used the Revo case for my first gen since they first came out and have gotten used to it. It also says it has cut outs for the dock connecter so I don't know why you wouldn't be able to use a dock with it.

I used a silicone skin for a while and while the pocket thing was annoying, you got used to it. You either hold the corner of the pocket with your other hand while pulling it out, or resign to the fact that your pocket will flip inside out.... just leave it that way while you use the phone, then stuff it back in when you're done with it

I remember the first time I pulled my phone out of my pocket and I was a little bothered by it but honestly I never considered getting a different type of case because of this minor inconvenience. It's mainly an issue with jeans but never with shorts especially the cargo type.

Nope, haven't bought another yet. In the process of installing my BodyGaurdz last night and tonight. While it might be scratch proof, I wanted something a little more 'drop proof', thinking the Ivyskin XyloT3

I have one similar to that. The Incipio DermaShot:

like psylivchon said, they do tend to collect lint and are harder to pull out of the pocket.

The case that the OP posted looks very nice. If I didn't already have like 3 cases I would order one lol...maybe when I get paid again so I don't feel like im wasting ALL my money on cases.

i thought i was gonna buy at least 3 cases before i found the one i like. The DermaShot plus BSE is perfect for me.

I bought more cases for my first gen than I can to remember before I found one I really liked. This time I'm trying to be more selective and consious of unnecessary spending.
