This is the only case I have for my phone but I did look at and try out several others in the store before buying.  The dealer at the AT&T store cautioned me that it was a tight fit and that he didn't like it for that reason.  I have since found that it is really a perfect fit, and not tight at all, if you insert the phone in the correct orientation - which is to say with the screen facing the back.  Secure but not tight with no risk of falling out.  I read the complaints about the cutaways.  I actually count the cutaways at the corners as an advantage because they allow you to access the controls and have headphones plugged in while in the case, which other cases without the cutaways do not.  I suppose if you have the misfortune of dropping the phone in the case and a corner hits then it might damage the corners but I wanted that added functionality, so just don't drop your phone.  I think this is the most attractive of all the cases and I am proud to wear it on my belt at work or with dress clothes.  The velcro latching mechanism is superb and I don't see this ever wearing out like some cheaper velcro does.  also I paid $30 dollars for this at the AT&T store so the amazon.com price is a bargain.  Highly recommended.
