Using an IPhone silicon case on the TP2 (Pics)

Edit: For those who keep posting and mocking the ugliness of my solution; At this point in my life I drive an M5 and a new Z4. I think I'm beyond the need to flash a good looking phone to have a feeling of status. I just need a functional phone for when I'm in the field. . . and my post was geared for those needing the same.
Just in case someone needs a solution as I did, I'm sharing a solution that has for the most part solved an issue I was having w/ my TP2. My TP2 kept slipping in my grip, and I haven't yet found a product on the market to remedy this. I found an IPhone case that has helped. It doesn't allow the keyboard to slide or the camera to shoot, but it keeps the darn thing from slipping from my fingers. You can poke a hole in it for the camera and speaker. It's easy to remove for when you need the keyboard. It looks OK, but not too stupid. It's the Jam Jacket by DLO. It is reinforced around the edges and allows the phone to be more pocket able. Hope this helps some out there who might have the same issues I was having.

one more thing; It's very easy to push the buttons through the jacket. I am extremely pleased with this solution at least until a better one comes along.

Nothing personal, but to me that seems like going to GoodWill to get a suit. I think I will hold out until a proper case is made.

I don't take it personal. The point for me is that it is a "functional" solution that was much needed by me. I was destined to drop the phone due to it's slick design. Yes, It looks like I stretched a bikini on a fat guy, but it solves my problem now for less than $6.
When a proper product for the TP2 is released, then I will switch, but until then I have something that makes the phone much more comfortable to use.
See, when you get to be my age with more responsibilities, trivial things like the appearance of a phone tend to take a back seat to real practical issues (like running a business and tending to a family). So no offense was taken and your viewpoints are appreciated.

I'vd had the same concern with the phone slipping from my grip - I think I will keep my eyes open for a case like this too. Thanks!

what you got greasy hands or what, I don't use any case and it never feels like it's going to slip out of my hand. But man, that is ugly and very un-useful.

Actually, it's very useful, but not very pretty.

Before sleeve: phone was slipping out of hand.
After sleeve: phone does not slip out of hand

Thank you for seeing my point; It's ugly, but useful. . . especially in the environments I work in and utilize my TP2 for the jobs. I have a feeling many just use their phones for music, FB, video etc.
