I went ahead and took the black silicone and TPU versions so I could compare the two. Both fit well and everything fits together perfectly. The inside of the grips in the silicone version are ribbed to prevent them from folding or pinching when held. I like that the power and volume buttons and the SD card door are covered. The buttons have better tactile feedback in a silicone shell. The kickstand feature works well on hard surfaces, but the case these replaced had a better kickstand. For now I'm using the silicone version as I like the look of it but I'm sure it will stretch over time like all the other silicone cases I've dealt with on phones over the years. Only the TPU case came with a screen protector, both came with thumb covers (although I don't use them).
