Was looking for a case for my HTC Rezound and considered the cheapy silicone cases, Otterbox Defender, and commuter.
Here is a rundown of how I came to try this and how it has performed over the month that I have had it. -

The Otterbox Defender (Which my wife uses) is the Best for Protection but adds a lot of bulk, and the plastic screen sits above the actual screen on the phone- Don't like the feel of that. In addition the 2 mic holes on the back of the phone were covered. Don't know why Otterbox didn't provide holes for these as they did with the others ? The biggest deal breaker was - LINK GETS UNDER THE SCREEN ! - you are constantly opening to clean. Otter shell also collects lint like crazy - So that was out.

The Otterbox commuter is more slim, and does not come with a plastic screen. You would use a screen protector. (I am using a Zagg Invisi-shield and am very happy with it)
I was all set to go with the Commuter until I saw the Incipio Silicrylic HT-223.
Looked exactally like what I wanted, was a few dollars less than the Otterbox Commuter, and seeing how many things I didn't like about my wife's Defender, I gave Incipio Silicrylic HT-223 a try.

Here Goes:
Easy install - just 2 parts (a soft silicone inner shell and a hard ruberized plastic outter shell that clips ont top.
1st- put silicone on phone - line up holes (Fit is very loose), then snap outter shell on top (This locks it all together)
It came with a screen protector, but I had my Zagg protector on already. The Zagg is probably better anyway - so I left it.
Thats all - EASY AS PIE

Now after a month of solid real world, everyday use - an honest, accurate evaluation ......

PROS:
- Adds minimal bulk
- Does not collect too much lint (Some, but less than most I've seen)
- Seems to be a good combination of grip and slip (Will go into a pocket pretty well)
- Silicone wraps around to front edges - (so if laid screen down - the silicone contacts the surface not the screen)
- Has cut-outs for ALL holes and ports - and they line up Perfectly
- Easy to take off and put back (When you need battery, Micro SD card access)
- Headphone, charging jacks are unobstructed

CONS:
- The Inner Shell(Silicone), is definitely too loose fitting...
The Hard Shell holds everything in place - so the phone does not slide around, but the sides, top and bottom (More so the sides) of the silicone edge that wrap to the front are not rigid enough and easily pull away from phone edges. This could allow dirt an lint to build up unereneath (That has not been an issue for me, but my phone it in pretty clean environments). I do find this to be annoying, and is the Only reason it does not get 5 stars.
If Incipio would have made the inner shell tighter and the wrap around parts more dense, and/or add side tabs to the hard shell, not just corners; that would probably fix this issue.
Incipio - FIX THIS  !! and you will have a perfect case.

Sorry for the long winded review - Hope it helps
