I've tried them both. I currently have the Praetorian Crystal Slip on my phone now. In comparison of the two, the main thing that I was concerned about what the ability to remove the back cover and put it back on. If you find yourself resetting a lot get the gel case. The feel of both of them is great, its the untimely drop when the perfect case matters. While both of them held their own during the drop (yes, I bought them both just to test them because my wife needed one for her TP2 and she lets my 1 year old son play with her phone..TEP FTW!!!) The only advantage that the gel has over the hard rubberized case is: THE TABS!! Sure you may drop your phone it may not even phase the case but if those tabs start breaking on the rubberized case, you no longer have a case! The gel on the other hand is just that: ALL GEL!! there are no plastic tabs to grab onto the phone, only flaps that go over the phone that stay in place. And if you flash as much as I do and know that during some point in time you may want to reset it, go with the gel. repeated removal of the rubberized case's back cover may make the tabs weak and they will be prone to breaking. Accidents will happen, I just didn't want to buy another case if, and when, it did. I will most likely replace the phone before the case 'breaks'!
