I was considering getting one but was hesitant because I am not a huge fan of silicone cases. From the reviews that I have read it really doesn't have a silicony feel. Is that correct? ALso, what kind of drop protection does it provide?

Thanks
 
It feels more like a rubbery plastic than silicone. I'd venture to guess you could equate it to the backing that was rumored to be on the next iPhone. I mean if it had been a true rumor.

Thanks,

I'm guessing you have one? Do you like it. I'm always in search of the perfect case, and the jellybean intruiged me.

I don't care for mine :( In fact, I am trying to sell the unopened, 2nd one I have. In terms of the feel which you asked about, I like it. I agree with the poster above that it doesn't feel silicone-y. It's very soft and smooth and feels good in your hands. BUT. It's too loose (imo) on the phone. And it collects way more dust than the silicone case I have on my touch. So I've decided to replace mine.

Are you selling it on ebay? And what color. I'm not really sure that it is a great case but I am interested in trying it out.
 
I have the brown colored Color case and I don't like it. I did at first but it seems to get lint all over it and I hate that! I do love the rebel serpent's though. They look really good on the iphone!
