Good deal, and the cases themselves aren't too bad. You can't use them with the dock, but no big deal.
The problem is, they're too grippy. They're hard to get into your pocket--you can't do it with one hand; you have to pull out your pocket, then jam the iPhone in there. And if you try to pull it out with one hand, you'll pull out your pocket, too ... A real pain. I'm going to return mine.

Agree with the previous comment, I've nearly dropped mine trying to get it into my pocket as the skin grips anything and pulls it along for the ride - getting it back out of your pocket is a struggle as well.
Also - these are NOT well made- the band separating the ear speaker tore after only taking the phone out ONCE!
These photos don't show it, but the case is not a good fit- it warps and bulges badly at the home button and the ear speaker.
I will also be returning this one. Not a good choice at all and way overpriced for the quality.

I got this when I got the phone and my wife and I returned it the next day. The aforementioned bulges by the home button and ear speaker really makes the phone look cheap. The holster does not work well as an iPhone stand, as it continually falls over.
Instead I got the Marware Sidewinder which I like a lot so far. It does not provide any protection to the actual phone once it is extracted from the holster, though, so I got the full body InvisibleShield from ShieldZone. I haven't applied it yet, but it looks like it will protect well from scratches.

Do NOT buy this product. While I did not have the issues that the others had I did have a problem with the phone falling out of the case after two weeks. The two side fingers on the holster do not adequately hold the phone in. The bottom support blocks access to syncing/charging without taking the unit out of the case. I now have opted for a case where the holster is integrated into the case (not two separate pieces) and has no chance of falling out. I have the leather version of this from incase: http://goincase.com/products/detail/fitted-sleeve-cl59025
