I will try to attach a couple of pictures. Forgive the quality, I took them with my wife's Katana!

The clear plastic one should arrive today so I will update this after I try it out.

does it effect the buttons on the bottum ? the talk and hang up buttons?...some said that it over laps them and makes them un-usable...

Not at all! It puts no pressure on those keys.

However, the clear plastic technocel (that came with the maroon gel type that I bought from sprint) put pressure on the keys making them unusable. I actually got a file and ground the lip back that was causing the pressure but then I noticed that the case was also putting pressure on the corners of the screen. At night I could actually see the strain on the screen as a glow at the corners. Therefore, I want to stress NOT to buy the clear plastic technocel!

Today I got the other clear case that I ordered (from 1800mobile, not from technocel) and it fits perfectly. The plastic is quite thin so it adds almost no bulk to the phone. I like having this option because the gel case makes the phone tough to get in and out of my pocket if I'm wearing jeans.

Anyway, here are 2 pics of the clear case.

I hope this has been helpful!

Looks nice...
is the clear one hard plastic or ruber?

I use the Seido one, and I love it!

Main thing, my flush touch screen, is still flush, unlike other cases.

Does it snap together the whole way?

I found some cases in the mall didn't snap together the whole way. I am looking for that and like you said earlier the ability to use the buttons as if there were no case on there. Thanks.

They now sell it at the Sprint Stores.
