FINALLY!!! I was getting ready to ask for a refund! These things BETTER ROCK!
I just ordered the iLuv one. ($12.21 on Amazon) I'll let you know if it works with third party chargers. I've got an Alpine X-305s head unit in my car and it is a huge pain to find these style cases that will work with that head unit because Alpine makes you use their stupid cable...
I ordered mine on 8/8/10 and have not received it yet. I'm guessing I'll see it someime next week, because I chose UPS Ground which was a whopping $11.00!
I ordered the "Clear" one and will be pairing it with the Zagg Full Body Screen Protectors. I'll upload pictures when I get it.

I just want to know if the plastic is like a more matte feeling than a cheap clear plastic.
Do Not Purchase Shockband!!!
In my opinon: The Shockband is a total worthless piece of plastic. It is just that, PLASTIC! The ONLY positive is that it fits very tight.
NEGATIVES:
No silicone/rubber texture, feel, or protection..just a very, very, thin piece of plastic.
No edge protection, the lip of the band may raise your surfaces 1-2mm at the most and I think I am giving more then it actually does. If you drop your phone there will be ZERO protection provided by this band.
The lop on both sides is NOT COMPATIBLE with ANY of the shields...it will instantly start lifting your glass protection to include Power Support Crystal
The case is NOT CLEAR...it is foggy white!
Cutouts are small around dock and the speaker cutouts are not aligned correctly. The buttons do push easily but that is because there is simply NO protection.
I am not even going to waste pictures on this as I have already pulled it off my iPhone and threw it in the trash!
I DO NOT RECOMMEND Agent 18 ShockBand at ALL...the worst case I have purchased so far.
FORGOT to ADD...It comes with a really niceMETAL stand with nice SHARP edges and corners. Place iPhone in at your own risk!!!
MARWARE is back on...already posted review with pictures.

This sucks.
I wish I had seen this review a few days ago. My Bad! My order still hasn't shipped and I'm trying to figure out how to cancel my order. Just emailed Agent18 to cancel it. "Crossing Fingers"
This!! The Pexagontech.com TPU iWrap Bumper Case
I ordered the pink one and I love it. I like it more than my pink apple bumper. I also ordered a green one which is not the lime green in the picture, it's a much darker green. I just went back after reading this thread and ordered an aqua one. EVen if it's darker than pictured, I am sure I'll still like it. FOr 2.99 you cannot go wrong with this case.
