I was able to snag one Tuesday. I also have a Fre. I went through numerous Fres until I got a really really good one. The screen protector was nearly flat, the sound was very good and I really liked the case. I purchased the Nuud because I had a Best Buy credit for $80. I thought I would probably return it because of how much I liked the Fre. I immediately installed it and initially liked the case. There was only one issue that really bothered me, the bezel. I was always touching it when typing and it always bothered me on the notification pull down. After using the Nuud through Friday, I figured I liked my Fre better so I put it back on. Although I do like not having a bezel on the Fre, having the Nuud on for 4 days made me realize how great a naked screen really is. I used my Fre all day today and when I got home I put the Nuud back on and its not coming off. I also installed the scratch protector. Its actually really nice quality similar to an SPG. No rainbows and very even. Overall the Nuud just feels a touch more solid than the Fre. The Fre is a bit thinner, by less than a MM. If you have to choose between this and the Fre, I think it is definitely worth the extra $10. Lifeproof has also stated they will have colors. I hope its inside 60 days as I have Premier Silver and would possibly use my extended return. I always liked my flat earth colored Fre.
