Well, yes, got two of those,... on two phones. That's cheating a bit as I don't think it saves any, just gives you more to play with, so we play more and burn it off just as quick. But yes, those are pretty neat, sleek, slick and stylish. But slick is an issue, feels less than secure in the hand,... that feeling would-be BrailleTouch users go on about. Since adopting this case, I feel the same now and have to work more carefully and less relaxed than before.
We're wandering off from conserving power to adding power capacity; so could anyone recommend a hybrid case that offers Otterbox or Griffin type HD protection and additional power storage?
