Finally got mine.
It's awesome and as I anticipated its definitely better than the Speck PixelSkin HD.
It fits the phone really well. There is no play whatsoever. In a couple of YouTube reviews there are complaints about how hard this phone is to take off. Well I would rather a case be hard to take off than too lose. Because of this it just feels like this case is one with the phone. This was my biggest issue with my Speck case. With the PixelSkin HD you could feel that it was loose and, depending on where you held the phone and how much pressure you were using, you could feel the case move around on the phone's edges.
The texture of the case is very nice. It's not quite as grippy as the PixelSkin HD but it's still easy to hold and quite comfortable in the hand. It definitely takes it's design cues from the 4/4S Eclipse. It feels just as sturdy yet lighter because overall it is thinner (and so is the i5).
It is not quite perfect, though. In my opinion there are three small issues that hold this case back from being absolutely perfect. First, while the dock and headphone connectors are a great idea, they are absolutely a pain in the ass to remove. I have to use my pocket knife to remove these things because they fit so snug and so flush with the rest of the case. Second, the lock button cover doesn't really provide any button feedback. There is a slight amount of feedback but it's so subtle that it's very hard to tell if you've pressed the button or not. Lastly, and this is a little nitpicky but whatever, I feel that the volume rocker buttons are too small. At least these provide some button feedback though.
I hope that these insights help those of you who are thinking of getting this case.
I will try to post some photos later today, or tomorrow but I got the case in black and it'll look pretty much exactly the same as Poob Bubes' photos.
