iPhone case- Incipio NGP review

I am a case switcher. I like thin, minimal cases like Apple's bumper, and Case Mate's Barely There. So I gave the Incipio NGP case a try, looking for a minimal case with significant protection properties.

Incipio NGP Case

NGP stands for next generation polymer. OK. The problems with silicone are that it is sticky, making your phone a lint magnet, and as it is used it gets soft, so it tends to gap at the corners. NGP claims to solve this. The product feels halfway between silicone and plastic. It stretches unwillingly then returns to it's original dimension. Good deal, except that the Incipio case leaves a tiny gap along the sides of the phone. When you pick it up you feel the sides push back into place. I don't like that.  Walmart sells this case for $19.99, a discount from the online price of $24.95.  I expect they will also refund the cost based on the fact I am dis-satisfied.

When I travel, and want maximum iPhone protection, I still rely on Otterbox.
