I picked up the charcoal gray Modello case on SGP's Amazon store just this morning, and it's already expected to be delivered tomorrow! Amazon also had a promotion a few days ago where you could buy a $10 gift card for $5, so in total the case and overnight shipping cost me $10 with Prime.
UPDATE: I received the case this afternoon and guys, I can't even begin to describe how much I love it. It fits very snugly but isn't difficult to get on the phone. It's also very slim and has just the right amount of lay-on-the-table. Buttons provide excellent tactile feedback. Front and back screen protectors, plus Lucky Labs side wraps, work just fine with the case on. The camera cutout is a unique shape and is quite large, but not obnoxiously so. The material is a matte finish that doesn't show fingerprints and gives good grip and feels really good in the hand. The only flaws I can see are the very visible injection point on one corner (on the case I got, at least), and material above the 30-pin connector is pretty flexible and might stretch out over time. But overall, this is one of my top cases and the price really can't be beat. Highly recommended!!!

Does anyone know how this would compare to the Speck Pixelskin HD? Is it thinner or about the same?
Ordered the Charcoal-gray Modello case today from the same eBayer (in link above) as I purchased my Tangerine one from a couple of days ago. I'm a sucker for TPU cases.
You also have the Zum Gelee right?
Can you compare them in thickness when you get it?
Thanks.
Yes I also have the Zum Gelee case as well and I posted pictures if the Tangerine/Orange Modello case on my 4S in the previous page.
In terms of thickness, I would say both cases are nearly identical. The only real difference (besides not having the attached charging port + headset covers) is that the TPU material in the Modello case is much firmer, thus creating a slightly tighter fit around the front edges - which is a good thing.
Also the design of the front lining holds on to the screen better and does not interfere with any screen protectors/shields and cause any bubbling. I had that issue with the Zum Gelee previously.
Both are excellent TPU cases and I go back and forth between them. But if someone were to out a gun to my head and insist that I only use just one if them - I would have to go with the SGP Modello. For $15 you really can't go wrong.
Hope this answered your question.
in my pics,it wasnt snapped in good in the corner. guess i should have checked before i took the pics.this case has a perfect fit
Anyone have any pictures of it on a black iPhone? I'm interested in any of the colors aside from pink. I'm a sucker for relatively cheap cases (I have two Magpuls now a Belkin 050 that I caught on sale on amazon for $15), and this one looks pretty neat, too.
I can upload pictures on a black 4S in the next day or so, picked one of these up off Amazon for $18.56.
I posted the Tangerine color on a Black 4S in the previous page. I'm getting the Charcoal-Gray one within a couple of hours and I will post pictures on my Black 4S as well.
EDIT: Here are the pictures.

As promised, pictures of the Tangerine SGP Modello on my Black 4S. Enjoy.
Very nice! I'm practically sold on it,and thanks for taking the time to upload the pictures. The tangerine looks really nice. Is it just me, or does the charcoal-gray look exceptionally darker than the images on Amazon? Makes me wonder what the soul black would look like.
I noticed this about the Charcoal Grey color as well. Definitely darker in person than in the pictures. The color on Tangerine is very accurate and IMO is the best looking one in the Modello line.
Has anyone used the Modello with the port covers for the Neo Hybrid? Or have another recommendation for compatible port covers?

Fits perfect with the Modello and any other case/bumper I throw on my 4S. Comes in many different colors. I went with the "Aqua White" which is basically transparent clear. Definitely recommend. Fast shipping as well.
I previously purchased some "cheapies" from eBay and the quality and fit sucked donkey nutters.
I just received my Tangerine case from Amazon. I have been using the Pixelskin HD and the first thing I noticed was how much thinner and lighter it is. It almost feels like you don't even have a case on the phone.
I really like it. The tangerine looks really good on the black 4S.
Just ordered a black one from their eBay store. 14-21 days for shipping to Canada
Sucks the shipping is that long, but I'd like to see what the black looks like!
Picked up a Charcoal Gray for under $20 with next day shipping
Def the best TPU case on the market IMO
It's slim, feels good in the hand, all the buttons have outstanding tactile feedback, and gives a nice lay on table design.
SGP has done it again...def recommended
Here are a few pics
nice pic...
