Got mine today. I got the black one, and, like the previous poster said it's definitely not translucent.
I guess it's OK for $3. Of course, it cost these guys less than a dollar to ship these, so these aren't exactly "free". They're likely making a good chunk of change from these (along with all the other "free" - just pay "shipping" offers going around)
The band is really tight, much tighter than the bumper. It really diminishes the feel of the sleep button. It seems like the recessed underneath portion of the sleep/wake button and on the volume button areas isn't recessed enough, because it makes the whole band stick out/pull away over the volume button area, making it look wavy on the left side of the phone
Most people wouldn't notice that, but it sure bugs me.
