would also love to know which Incipio this is and if it is a hard or soft case?
Thats the Incipio NGP Matte. It can be purchased exclusively at Wal-Mart for $19.99. IMO it is the best TPU case and value going at the moment. Looks great, nice texture, not too thick (same dims as PSHD), no flash issues, no button issues, see through and comes with a screen protector & cloth. Pretty darn good if you ask me.
Just to clarify, the Incipio NGP Matte isn't exclusive to Wal-Mart. But that specific color, "Translucent Mercury", IS exclusive to Wal-Mart. But the other color NGPs can be purchased directly through Incipio.
The smoke color is only available at Walmart but you can find other colors online like at Amazon
I checked my mail, today, and my Speck Pixelskin HD was there, along with the "free" Stealth Guards that I ordered a few weeks back. I took my White Apple Bumper (which Apple also sent to me, free) off, cleaned the phone, and put the Pixelskin HD on. I decided against putting the Stealth Guards on, for now. I really like the Pixelskin HD. Yes, the Sleep/Wake Button and Volume Buttons are stiff, but, they get the job done. I think I'll keep this one on for a while. I like the looks, the fit is very snug (unlike the Apple Bumper), and it protects the back. Not bad for a free case.
people any proper pics of the differences between the ver 1 and ver 2??
Also those that are modifying their cases pics of before and after please, i don't get how you lot are saying modify it
also like others i was looking forward to this case, before reading this lol. Now i'm not so sure weather it was the right 1 to choose or not.
Don't have to wait to long anyway, should be here by 24th September

Just ordered mine when I got my phone yesterday and it says I'll receive it Oct 1st
And your bummed.
I ordered mine (black) 7/24/10 with a ship date of 10/20/10. Semi ridiculous is an understatement.

Go buy one save your receipt and don't open your box when you get it. I'm sure they will take it back, but don't kill me if I'm wrong here.

Actually considering doing that if I can find somewhere to buy them. Best Buy doesn't seem to sell it according to their site. Apple Store?
I ordered my PSHD on Amazon about ten days ago, got it two days ago, and it was the older version. It's a great case.
I got my PS HD today and it has not bubbled up my SGP crystal. I'm pretty happy about that.
Just got off the phone with Eric from Speck. He said he's not sure if there are still "older" Generation cases around but he asked me to shoot their customer service department an email and they'll take care of me. It's either going to be them shipping me an older Pixelskin HD (already have a GeoMetric and I love it) or have Apple swap it out for something else, like convincing them to send me a white bumper
Anyway he's the email address, send your concerns over to them.

What was the outcome of your inquiry? Are they sending you the "older" version of the case?
just got mine via the free case program, and i don't think it's going to work for me. it bubbled up my "Best skin ever" along the edges, and if i apply any sort of pressure to the case itself, it causes the bubbles to ripple across my phone.
and the case is a lot stiffer than i thought -- in fact, it's too stiff. i put my phone in an armband to exercise several times a week, but just getting the phone out of the speck case is an exercise in itself.
for now i'll still use my ifrogz lean. it doesn't offer as much protection as the speck, but for my needs, it works best.
i'm not complaining about a FREE case...just saying that it might not work for everyone. anyone want to trade for a bumper?

I'm still waiting from a reply from Speck. I really think they blew it by sending out a case that's harder than the original PS HD.

got mine today. Its a newer one and it isn't bad at all really.
Everything is great except the home and volume buttons are hard to hit.
It's really protective and it gave me an excuse to take off my back screen protector

i saw some reviews of the older one on youtube and noticed that some people commented on it being a bit flimsy along the edge (ie. you can kind of peel the case back from the screen). maybe they made it a harder material so that it doesn't roll off the screen as much???
