Lol. Well, the Amazon cases are not the actual tmo cases. The tmo case has the BEST form factor and thickness factor. The Blackberry RIM skin with the logo is THIN and clumsy. I've tried them all: Innocase, no names, RIM.
The best form factor, most protective case for the best price, is the TMO skin with all button coverage.
And no its not a lint magnet after 1 week.
I've used the same case and BSE since January and my 8900 is flawless.
To each his own.
Innocase --- tooo thin and too hard to remove, damages fones, this is well documented.
I rest my case.
Time for a hot bath.

I purchased an Seidio Innocase II and holster which I really liked (but yes, my bezel did get scratched, but that's for a different thread), then I received a Vibes FX as a gift. FYI - the Vibes skin works perfectly with the Seidio holster.
It's a soft case compared to the Seidio, but it's not soft (or sticky to slide in and out of my pocket) like a typical skin. So it falls somewhere in the middle between the hard case and the skin. I also like that all the ports are covered - since I don't have to worry about dust/lint getting into places while I'm carrying it in my pocket. I was surprised to like the mirrored screen protector. It comes in handy to see who is coming up behind me!
I have the blue color (wave) which is not as bright as it looks online (at least on my monitor), so it gives a nice pop of color but toned down enough that I don't feel like I need to hide it in major business meetings. 
I will add that I put a BSE on all my BBs the minute I get them, and while I removed the back piece to get the Seidio case to fit, I do still have the BSE on the top front and that makes me feel better since that area is exposed with this case.
My BB was dropped on concrete with this on and neither case nor BB had a mark on it. IMHO, if you're going to shell out for one of the more expensive cases, this one is a very good choice!Last edited by gritsinct; 09-07-09 at 10:07 AM.

The side buttons are easily activated even with the skin BUT the top ones ie mute and standby aren't as responsive. Also it takes a little bit to get used to the feel of the side alphabets on the keypad as the skin brings it almost flush with the keypad, but that's just because I'm used to that tactility response. After a few smses and emails, you get used to it. So overall, I reckon its a good choice if you're looking for a silicone like skin and it supposedly uses an antimicrobial material which dicourages bacteria growth. Apparently.
