Hey peeps, today my new Body Glove case arrived! I went on to put it on and I liked it so much I wanna recommend it to you guys! First off, if your not a fan of thick cases, then you might not like this one too much. I consider this case to be more of an alternative to the other dual layer cases like Speck's candyshell. They're very alike, except this one does not cover the volume buttons (kinda disappointing...). Anyways, I took a couple of pics of the case itself so you guys can see it! It's really a good case! Hope you enjoy the pics! Click on 'em to view full size, I still don't know how to post them full size'd :o

First up, the front of the case. It has a very nice lip/bump there to protect the screen of the phone if you decide to place it on a table facing down or if it falls screen first to the ground:

Next, the back (it's a white plastic with matte finish, it actually feels good to the touch and it's comfortable to hold) with the Body glove logo on the back there. It feels great to hold as it is a bit curved like the One's curved aluminum back, so it fits naturally in your hand:

Now, inside the case! That kind of cratered looking pattern is rubber, like that of the first layer of the Speck candyshell or the Otterbox commuter, except that it's part of the plastic exterior so it can't be removed):

Here's the camera and noise canceling mic openings. If you ask me, they're perfectly cut out and positioned to precision! Plus that silver backing really shows off how well cut out it is:

Now here's where most of the cases miss (even the Poetic Atmosphere case, which I bought and should arrive tomorrow or after), the bottom openings! This case actually resembles the Speck candyshell in the fact that both have very very precise openings (though the Speck case's opening is narrower, it's still perfectly centered):

Next, power button and headphone jack! As expected, nice cut out for the power button/IR blaster and the rubber lining is actually cut lower there so it's easier to press the button without having to reach out to the very top of the phone. Headphone jack cut out is pretty widely cut, making sure most headset plugs will fit:

The volume buttons are exposed, like mentioned before, but there's still some lift from the case, so the buttons themselves are protected in case you drop the phone. This also makes buttons easy to press, as opposed to other cases that make pressing them much harder because of having rough rubber coverings. This is not the case with Speck cases, fortunately (I know as I own a candyshell one):

However, you trade in comfortability of pressing the volume buttons for oddness and premium feel. As you can see, the little rubber lining lip that covers the glass where the volume buttons are is very loose because of not being glued to the plastic backing or having any support. This makes it feel kinda cheap. The rubber itself is placed perfectly and does not show this stretching when left alone, but I fear that with time this rubber piece might stretch and get in the way or maybe eventually break:

Here you can see the lift provided by the bump/lip on the case. It's at what I consider a perfect level as it doesn't make the case look huge like the otterbox defender and it's easy to touch the corners and edges of the screen with it on.

Here's what the entire back of the case looks like with the phone on. I just fell in love with the whole look of the silver One with the white/grey case! You can see as the rubber linings stretch to the back too, so when you put the case on a table it's that much less probable of slipping and falling:

The sides also have a cool design, with rubber grips on the sides that make holding the case that much comfortable and less probable of it sliding from your arms. The whole design of the case makes it look modern and very cool!:

Here's a little close up of how the rubber grips look! Also, damn it looks sexy from the side!:

Finally, just a look at the front of the One with the Body Glove case put on. The case itself isn't that bulky, it's even slimmer than the Speck candyshell! It's also a lot better looking for me. The only thing I miss is the soft and easy to press volume buttons cover found on the Speck candyshell case. Other than that, this case is a lot better!:

So, yeah. Thats about it :D I hope anyone that saw this post and the pics enjoyed. If you have the Speck candyshell and don't feel like it's the right case but you like the protection it gives you, or just hate the glossy finish, you should check this case out! It's also available in Pink/Silver and in Charcoal/Black!
