Pixel Skin HD vs Magpul

Can anyone give there opinion on what case is better of the two ? Im rocking a bumper and zagg now but im thinking of going with a full case for my 4S.

I've had the Pixel Skin HD, it was a decent case, not too protective. I did have some issues with it, the button feedback through the case was terrible. I couldn't really feel the clicks of the buttons, that kind of bothered me. Maybe that's changed since then.

I am getting a Magpul Executive case today and I plan on doing a quick video review of it tonight for my initial impressions. I think it will offer more protection than the Pixel Skin HD will.

great, can you do a side by side compare of the two cases too. Thanks so much.

Unfortunately I don't have my Pixel Skin HD anymore so I won't be able to do that. I ended up giving it to someone else.

My Magpul Executive case just came in and I put it on. I really like this case, it fits perfectly.
Very small lip on the front so you could lay it on a table face down without the screen touching.
Good grip, but not a lint magnet. No manufacturing weirdness.
Looks like it offers moderate protection.
The buttons feel good through the case, good feedback.
All the cutouts are very good.

For $10 I'd buy this case all day long.

I assume the regular Field Case is just as nice and probably offers a little more protection. I went with the Executive version because it looked thinner. I am very impressed with this case. I'll post my video tonight and some photos as well.

I also had issues with the PixelSkin HD including poor button feedback, bubbling my screen protector in one corner, and having great difficulty taking it off. That said, I still thought it was a very good case with a great look, a pretty good tactile feel (decent grip), and not a dust magnet like silicone cases. 8 out of 10.

My 3 Magpuls arrive today. Can't wait to go home and check them out.

Pixelskin is bulkier.

The Magpul is very thin. I like the feel and look of the Magpul, and as stated, for $10, you cannot go wrong.

Here is my quick review of the Magpul Executive Field case:

I've gotta say I really like the case a lot and for the price ($10) I don't see how you can go wrong in a market thats flooded with overpriced cases.
