Got the white in the mail about an hour ago...
My initial impressions are quite positive, but we'll see after some use. The alignment of button cutouts are really good you can see they are offset just a bit, it does not take away from the usability at all. The buttons are recessed into the case and I don't see the volume buttons being pressed inadvertantly.

Bottom cutout for the 30 pin connector provides plenty of room. The cover that was supplied was slightly off color (white) from the case. The cover is not made of the same plastic as the case it's rubber, probably causing the color difference.

Headphone jack cutout...tried a few different headphone mini plug connectors I had including a fat one they were all able to seat flush and were fully operational

Docking...well this isn't the best example of its docking capabilities because I've been able to dock my wife's Ifrogz and my Belkin reveal without issue onto the apple universal dock when no adapters are used.

Likes:
-Included covers for the docking port and headphone port...fit is good however they are rubber so slight color mismatch from the case.
-Included screen protectors. I've never used screen protectors so I have nothing to compare to but I can say that I put one on and squeegeed out the bubbles without issue. Didn't plan on using a screen protector but the supplied ones were really clear, no noticeable orange peel, and look and feel were similar to the original glass. (front screen protector is installed in all the above pics)
-Minimalist design...just feels good in hand, shows the iphone's lines and design well
Dislikes
-Gap between bezel and non existent case lip its about the width of the metal band if you were looking straight down at the front of the phone. I can see this area becoming a home for lint and debris
-Slight burrs left behind from the machining process...kinda sharp in some spots. I'm sure they will wear with normal handling just a little attention to detail that was missed at the manufacturing process.
-No lip around bezel...without a screen protector there is zero protection.
I'm really not that nit picky but just wanting to inform those of you who are buying without actually holding the product before buying.

The other thing is that the white "bumper" area started to get dirty and didn't clean well.
