I picked up two cases: the ventev mentioned above, and the glass blackTPU case that Klocker also has. I would highly recommend the TPU case; I agree that it has a nice, firm fit. I also cut out the holes for the camera as well as the power button. (the case was tight enough for me that it was slightly triggering both buttons- the phone wouldn't go to sleep and also slightly triggered the camera's first stage), but the good thing is that case is almost inviting you to cut them out if they don't work for you. I find that the hole for the camera perfectly hides it enough to solve almost all of the "accidental" press issues people have been having. The case also wraps around the frame, like a lip, protecting the screen if you place the phone screen side down. The TPU also gives more of a tactile, friction feel than the Ventev. I'd say that the TPU also gives the phone a perfect heft too, for those who think it's too light.
The Ventev is also decently made; it's actually two halves, the top shiny bit, connected by friction to the soft-touch bottom piece. It doesn't cover the top or the bottom very much. It has cut-outs for all of the buttons, but I feel that the cutouts are large enough that they don't do much to prevent accidental button presses; on the contrary, they seem more inviting to my fingers to grasp the indentations.
Both cases are prone to fingerprints though.
Overall I'd give the edge to the TPU, but will switch them up from time to time. Both can be found on ebay for very cheap.
I'd post some pictures but the attachements button isn't working for me at the moment.
