Right there
So these arrived today, I spent $12 at the at&t website and bought 3 cases. I'm heading out for a bit, but I'll do some mini reviews this evening. I am not surprised to see the Speck is an older revision with the keyhole camera cutout.

I looked at the beetle cases at the att store today and I can honestly say they look SO crappy and cheaply made. I thought it might be good to have for $5 but it's not even worth $1. JMO.

i agree when the five dollar cases came out i went and checked em out and i had to pass on them cause they look cheap and the camera cut out was weird.

It feels cheaply made.. Funny thing happened to me though. I ordered it, but cancelled the order an hour or so later. Next morning I got an email for a shipping notification and It came yesterday.. My card wasn't even charged..

You got lucky, I'm stuck with two of these things now. I'm sure I can return them to an at&t store, but I may just eBay them. Although there is a TON of them on eBay right now, everybody had the same idea I guess!

Just return them.. I 4 of the $5 Cases - Beetle, Fitted, Body Glove, and Ventev

-Fitted - Nice case except for the keyhole cutout
-Body Glove - Really Nice Slider
-Ventev - POS
-Beetle - an even bigger POS

Dude the Ventev looks like an enormous pos in the picture, what made you pick that up?
 
Sorry to say the 30 + dollar 3gs specks with the patterns are very cheaply made. I really don't know why, but it just feels like a 4 year old glued and put everything together. Hopefully you have better luck.

The 3GS ones were a bit iffy. The 4 ones are fine, probably cause the surface they're putting the fabric on is flat and not rounded
 
Yeah, I think for the most part iphone 4 has a better shape for cases in my opinion. regardless of shape though the quality and materials used were still pretty horrendeous.
