    Got mine as well, forkee. Looks good, and the black one makes it look almost caseless. It's a bear to remove, though.

    sweet! well after putting them on and taking them off so many times for the different colors, i found out a way to do it that might help if you havent tried it this way.

    1) screen side up, hold the phone by it's bottom and top (where you plug in the charger and power button) with your dominant hand
    2) using your nails of the other hand, gentle pry the edge of the outside top of the case (by the power button) until the phone pops up a little but not the whole way.
    3) do the same for the bottom (near the speaker). the case should be halfway down (halfway off)
    4) now gently pull away the middle (right above the sim card slot) and it should fall off.

    just a reminder to everyone for this case and every hard case, always put the phone in the case first by sliding the side with the volume buttons, then second the side with no obstructions. usually the integrity of the case is most compromised in the area surrounding the side buttons and will most likely break or bend if you try putting that side in last because it has to extend a little bit to fit over the buttons.

    when removing, go the opposite and remove the flat side first and the side with the buttons last.

    another quick update

    got three more colors in (purple, light pink, and red) and took some pics so everyone can see what they look like, and bought more black and white just in "case". made a list of what's available on the front page. i seriously raided this guy's place and promised him he won't be seeing me for awhile so he let me wipe him out again.

    a note about the red, purple, and light pink: im not sure if its a widely affected issue or just a problem with this batch, but unlike the previous colors i purchased, these appear to have been manufactured a little differently. there looks to be a paint discrepancy right smack dab in the middle of the case. it really isnt a big issue and doesn't affect anything (heck most people wouldn't even think twice about it) but im a perfectionist when it comes to things like this and i hated it when switcheasy didn't smooth out the areas where molded areas came together.

    i could not take a picture of it (thats how small it is) but had to get the guy to lower the price, so these will be offered at the discounted price of $10 each plus $2 shipping.

    I got my purple case today--very fast service! It is really awesome. I think I like it better than the Apple Bumper, it has less bulk. If only it was just a teeny bit more "grippy" it would be perfect, but then again, it might gather dust and crud around the edges like the bumper does.

    Thanks, forkee! :)
