Let me tell you all of you!
Boxwave might have few of their own (manufactured) cases but many of boxwave cases are available much cheaper on eBay (even after their free with shipping marketing).
The case I ordered from Boxwave with paid shipping totals $4.5.
Similar case ships free from HongKong for $1.99. Mind you that case from HK will arrive earlier than Boxwave case!

Mine finally shipped this morning. It's one of about 10 that should be getting here in the next couple of weeks (from different companies). Surely I'll love at least one of them.
My boxwave case arrived today. I ordered the Honeycomb Crustal Slip case. Not bad looking but the volume keys are a little harder to press than I thought they would but maybe I just got used to it being so well done on the bumper I have.
I kind of wish I had ordered a color case now that Apple's selection of free cases are mostly black/smoke. lol

Just got my Pure Crystal slip in Smoke and I'm really liking it. It's much darker gray than some of the earlier posters have shown in pictures.
Thumbs up!

I too got mine today. I am pleased with it.
It is kind of similar to Rocketfish from best buy but little tighter.
Important thing is it does not create problems with flash pictures.
I got mine today too. I got the smoke color. Ii don't know. I still like my Apple bumper and SG leather backing combo. Not complaining though. Can't beat nearly free.
I gave up on the Boxwave case and just canceled it. I think I have some other "cheap" cases coming anyways.
I got my Color Splash case (smoke grey) a week or so ago and I kind of like it. Yes, it took a while to ship, but I'm over it.
The case looks more clear than grey on a black phone. I really like the textured "grips" on both sides of the phone. They make gripping the phone more secure.
It does push up the edges of my screen protector occasionally, but I'm able to get it back in place with a fingernail very easily with no lasting problems.
I've gotten lots of dirt cheap cases from e-bay for my 3G in the past, but--especially for $3.50--this one is better than any of those.

I got mine yesterday, too. Overall, I like it. My only gripes are that the volume buttons are nearly impossible to push and there is some sharp flashing around the back edge. I don't know if there is anything I can do about the button problem, I'm going to try buffing the sharp edge off when I get some time in the workshop.
I received my 2nd Boxwave yesterday. Crystal Slip (tangerine color).
very good fit. looks awesome! I love it. The first was a color splash (Cool Grey) which I have been rocking over two weeks. Now I'll be rocking this cool orange see through case.... It looks niceeeee. I am pleased. worth the wait for a free case.
I will rock these until my Incase snap case (clear) arrives.
Worth mentioning... Boxwave cases are good for the value, and most are comparable to the 20.00 - 30.00 cases in retail stores. for the price, you can get about 3 on boxwave.com, for the price of one in retail, from other leading brands.

^ I somewhat agree except you can find every case they sell on eBay for much less, none more than $3, some for 99 cents, and they are the exact same cases minus the Boxwave logo and the professional pics that make them look nicer. I got the duraform case, which is nice, but had I known it would come with their logo printed on it, I would've ordered from a Hong Kong eBay seller and I still would've received it weeks earlier.
I can't complain much since I only paid for shipping, but I still would never order from this company again. Extremely unimpressed.

I got my eclipse crystal slip today. The material feels nice, more "rubbery" than it looks, and fits nice and tight.
But what the crap, why is there no cutout or even raised infection section for the sleep button!? It makes the whole top of the case bow upwards. I'm going to just cut it out with an x-acto/razorblade
