I was in radio shack today, and I almost bit the bullet on a case mate barley there case. They looked really nice, but they didn't have white, which was what I wanted. I'm glad I didn't now, because on Case Mates website, there selling a 3 pack (red, white and blue) for $25!

These cases were $20 at radioshack ($25 for one of the gradient color ones, which you can get in this 3 pack instead of the solid color if you want for no extra charge), so for $5 more, not only do I get the color I wanted, but I get 2 more colors as well!

It seems like this may be a 4th of july sale (comes in red white and blue...), so if your interested, you might want to act fast. It's normally over $50

also, if your patient enough for good ol' fashioned fed ex ground, it ships FREE

EDIT: just double checked, it is a 4th of july sale. They're also selling their second skin case for $10, and a similar 3 pack for the blackberry curve 8900, so thats a couple more things to look at
 
They look very nice, I think I'm going to get another case, I got the blue one. I would like to change up every now and again, and $20 is not a bad price.
 
just got them in today, nice looking case
really is barely there, very thin
I'm keeping 1 and selling the other 2, so hopefully it'll be like I got the one for free, and now I'm buying these

look interesting and Ive heard theyre nice from some people on this forum

I just received three of these (Yellow, Orange and Black)...they are SO nice...I love that they have the Apple Logo and iPhone writing on the back...looks like a I have a Yellow iPhone today...:D
Terrific bang for the buck IMO...

ive heard they have almost a glassy look/feel to them
is this true??
thats what i really am looking forward to
 
Does anyone know how these compare to the Elago designs slim case? They look like they may be similar.

from what i can tell, the elago covers a little bit more around the buttons, but none of the bezel, whereas the barely there covers a bit of the bezel

theres better options that the barely there, but it does look very nice, and at 3/$25 it cant be beat (hurry up before that sale ends)

Yes. Def has a glossy look and feel. Very similar to the actual iPhone back but not as slippery. The orange one has a metal flake or candy apple type gloss that the yellow doesn't have. I had the orange on for a full day now and it has a few light scratches on it. I don't think these shells will last forever without looking beat up but for less than $10.00 I think they are great. I'm gonna buy a whole bunch of them. :D
