I would like to know as well. Haven't seen any "snap" type cases with the separation of the mute switch from the volume buttons.
EDIT: if you click the flickr link in his sig he has pics with the case description and everything =)

Amen to that. What's the point of Apple working so hard to create a sexy, new, sleek design if people are gonna slap a case on it? Although I myself do use a case for protection when I go out to places like the beach.
Just seen this, but I will post pics later, but I do not use a SP so I couldn't answer that question.
AnthonySmith:
What case is that? I like it. Does it also cover the back?
Thanks to truciet's post I am looking at sw-box and I see the similarities and it does not cover the back. So the next question is, is there a slight "bump out" of the bumper on the back so if you lay the phone flat the lens/back doesn't touch the surface directly?

Yup. It's a bumper case from sw-box.com.
So it doesn't cover the back.
It's just like an Apple Bumper Case. It won't touch the surface it's laying on only the case will.
I actually like these ones much better than Apple's. They're thinner and they fit really nice and tight.
EDIT: Here's another picture. Hopefully you can see the "bump" that raises the phone slightly off the surface.

You'll like them. The shipping says anywhere from 10-30 days but I got mine in a week.
At those prices I don't CARE if it takes 10 - 30 days. Especially if the quality is decent enough that another Macrumors member is recommending it. I'm so glad you posted your set up.
Quick question...do you think this bumper would cause a skin on the back to bubble/lift?
the bumpers are thinner than apple's? i didn't like my generic ones off ebay...i wonder if i should order some of these as i'm a fan of the apple bumper...
and yes there's a difference in quality
Since I've never even looked at an Apple bumper my expectations are probably in line with what I will end up getting.
I'm not sure about the skin bubbling up or not. I would assume it would do whatever it does with the original Apple Bumper on it.
I'll post a picture comparing the two.
EDIT: Hmm so I opened up another sw-box bumper I have to compare it to the Apple one. From the naked eye you can't really tell that it's slimmer. However, when you put it on the phone you can definitely feel the difference.
