Am I making a mistake?

I have been carrying the JJ around without a case now for over a week. It fits perfect in my shorts pocket, jeans pocket and in my suit coat so I just go without the case. I have the unit closed so the screen is protected and I am careful to not put keys or coins in the same pocket.
Do you think the JJ will hold up without becoming worn looking? Is anyone else doing the same thing?
I have had a ton of pda's, Palm, Sony, HP, Imate and I have always used a case but until I see one that doesnt add so much thickness to the unit I plan on just carrying it without a case. I hope I am not making a mistake. If the screen wasnt covered I would not be debating this.
BTW, I have a proporta case, very similar to the one sold for the JJ, I bought it for my old HP 6315 and it is nice and well made but THICK and adds way to much to any PDA. I hope Vaja makes a thin case but unfortunately it seems they do not make super thin cases anymore. They did years ago for the Sony Clie that had a rotating screen. It was great but more recent cases by them for example for my Ipod is too thick in my opinion.
Interested to hear your thoughts.

I think it is a mistake. After the case for my previous pda broke I carried it without a case for a while, and a lot of accidents happened.
First of all, things fall out of pockets. Ok, if you have the right kind of pocket on a garment that is the right kind of fit, it may not in all likelihood, but with a $1000 gadget, I am not taking a chance.
Second, I always find things in pockets get banged around more. Things attached firmly to my belt don't.
When sitting down, it is hard to take it out of the pocket. So, you may decide to take it out before you site down and put it on the table. Then you are likely to forget it, or just go get a napkin at the Starbucks for 2 seconds. Sometimes it takes only 2 seconds.
Without a proper and definite place to put it (like a case on your belt) you are likely to put it in this pocket or that pocket one time or another. Just put it in your shirt pocket for a minute as you are gathering your things to get out, then bend over to tie your shoes. Happened to me more than once (although I still believe it was a subconscious attempt to break the old one to justify the new one).
I also think the proporta (or PDAir, or some other names, they all seem to be the same) book case is clumsy and thick, so I got the pouch case until a better choice comes out. Vaja is bound to make one.

Thanks for your thoughts, you make a lot of sense. I agree a lot of accidents can happen since its not attached to my belt in a case.
I would love to see more pics of the pouch case you mention. Are there any on the internet? Once you receive it I would love to hear what you think about it.

This is the info about the case:
http://pdaden.com/shop/cart.php?target=product&action=view&product_id=17394&substring=jasjar
As you see it is the same case Proporta is selling, and is made by PDAir.
Someone posted pictures of their proporta case, and it said PDair on it too. So I am sure they are all the same case, but this one is half price.
They are shipping from HK, and charged me $8 to mail it to US.

Great, thank you for the link. I had only seen one picture of the case, that looks perfect. Lot of pics to really see case. I purchased some other cases from that retailer in the past. I was already registered.
I ordered one. Thanks again. This case looks like the best choice for now, maybe can be only case. Fits so close to body in picture, not even noticeable under a shirt or suit jacket.

Haven’t ordered mine yet but when I do, its naked for me
I have had and XDA II for just over a year now and apart from a screen protector it went naked too. I work in an office so it lives on my desk all day. I try to be careful not to put keys in the same pocket when travelling but I don’t get paranoid about it. If it scratches, oh well, it will get replaced as soon as something better comes along

Innocase active or rugged??

I know that this is all based off of preference however I'm stuck between buying the rugged case or the active. I already have best buys version of the innocase surface 2 so I would like to know if should just buy the rugged for when I need the extra protection or just buy the active to have another day to day case like the surface 2. Any help please

While the Rugged gives you more protection, you lose one of the biggest features on the Evo; the kickstand. In addition, there have been reports of the flaps covering the ports on the phone tearing off easily.
I'm using an Innocase Active and it's worked just fine. It isn't insanely thick and I'm safe knowing my Evo is safe.

I know this is not what you are asking, but tossing in my 2 cents since it is still the same brand... I would put in a vote for the Seidio Innocase II Surface. Works great. 1mm thick... The inside has a soft lining to keep the phone from getting scratched up by debris... The case has a slight rubber feel to it. Enough to not slip on a table and not to much so you cannot pull it out of your pants pocket...

I purchased both the active and the rugged, which I felt would give me protection for any and all situations. (I am a DOT highway worker and work in freeway traffic every night) After a month of using both I can honestly say I have taken to using the active on a regular basis. The rugged is awesome, don't get me wrong. But the added bulk makes it less convenient to use.
The active provides sufficient protection for daily use and then some. Knowing what I know now, if I were buying today I would buy the active along with the Zagg invisashield.
Hope that helps

and i work offshore in the oillfield. Offshore painter/blaster/rigger. i climb, i crawl, and at alot of times my big toes are hanging off a 40 ft down ledge. before i had the rugged, i had just the seidio holster...did its purpose, kept it out of the way, and secured...now that i have the rugged once its in its holster....i dont have to worry about it if im rigging up a load...or hanging onto a flimsy personnel basket hoisted up by the crane...sometimes 100-200 feet up onto the rig from the crew boat..still, even when im painting or blasting, i go pick up the phone. ...if a blast hose could instantly take off mil's of iron in an instant...imagine what it would do to an evo with rugged case. i already went through 3 touch screen phones doing this blasting job.....2 instincts and a palm pre....sand and touchscreen=fail...
although i'd rather if seidio had a built in screen protector....there was no way i was taking phone out on another hitch without the rugged/otter box.
plus u get inner case with seidio....but i like it with the whole rugged on.......the power button and volume buttons are easy to press now.

thanks a lot for the feedback guys I already have the innocase two and I love it as a everyday case it provides good protection I went ahead and bought the rugged case combo because I figured I don't need another everyday case (which is what a lot of people said the active was) is prefer the option for even more protection to go over my everyday case. I already have a silicone gel cover and the Sprint body glove so I figured another everyday case would be pointless

I'm using the Active and love it. I particularly like that it covers my rockers and power button. Found it on Ebay for 20 bucks free shipping.

you do know you could have just bought the rugged upgrade kit to go around your existing Innocase II right?

Innocase Extended Rugged For Htc Evo Now Shipping

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd4-hkr5hev4x.htm
I just ordered one. 50 bucks is kinda pricey but I don't want to end up with my phone broken because I have no insurance.
Better order one quick before they run out!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Just ordered mine. Was really bummed about not being able to get the Defender but loving the 3500 battery. Funny how they wait till Otterbox releases the Defender to finally release their rugged add on. Can't get me to believe that they just finished design & production, the phone has been our since June.
Sent from my new BFF...Evo 4G that is!

the only problem is having to take everything off to charge the extended batt. from what i have seen here, the evo wont charge these extended batt compleatly. so you have to charge them externaly.

anyone receive this yet have any comments about the case? im deciding whether or not to purchase this, or sacrifice my extended battery for the otterbox defender
! I HATE THIS PREDICAMENT! :/

yes please!!!! im going back to my stock battery trying to see if the battery life is "doable" for me right now.... otterbox defender case looks SO MUCH MORE SEXIER than the seidio rugged.. even though seidio has it for the extended battery. i jsut dont want it to breakdown like the original seidio rugged cases... -_-
if i go otterbox then that means i have 2 seidio plus wall charger on sale soon! XD

Mine gets delivered today. Since I won't risk using my EVO without it once it's here, it will be hard to be completely impartial, but I'll give my thoughts once I have it.

I have mine and I'm on the fence about it cause it is a little bigger then just the extended I have . I like the extended i was using but did not like the fact it would scratch the sides of phone when taking on and off .not having top and bottom protection was not a big deal but It did make me feel less secure about using the phone .
Now the extended rugged is nice not sure how I feel about it yet but it looks a lot more beefy and the fact I can use it as a weapon to hit somebody or throw it at some poor soul knock him out then pick it up and use it is cool ..but I'll put it on and see how well it fits in pocket and feels in hand ..
One of my favorites is still the otterbox commuter with sedio 1750 love the looks love the feel it's just nice ..
Now I have never done reviews but if you guys like I can take some pics or side by sides just let me know and I'd be happy to help you make your choice if you are still on fence
Sorry for long post maybe bad grammar and poor punctuation but Hey you can read it (painful or not )

I just got my Extended Rugged combo today this morning. I will post pics after I work. It feels really sturdy. Definitely a brick now. I'm sure it would survive a drop easily. Sadly the kickstand is gone tho.

It takes awhile to put it on and take it off considering its bad to charge the battery in the phone. The rubber attracts dust. The headphone and the charge port are covered with the rubber case as a flap. It feels really sturdy, And once on the device it feels like a tank. It isn't as thick as it looks in the pictures feels nice in the hand and in my pockets ( I wear carpenter jeans a lot ). I don't have to worry about breaking the phone any more. Everything is well packaged and for 50 bucks you even get a holster with it. Everything fits together nicely and the buttons are still really easy to push. I never have had problems with the buttons once even tho in the pictures it looks like they aren't there. It is worth the 50 bucks tho, or 30 if you already have the innocase extended. This is the short review though, It will definitely hold up.

Looks very nice tracking says I'll get mine tomorrow now I'll finally have my phone protected at work and a holster I'm excited been waiting on this for awhile figured of wait for combo instead of just the extended

Let me know how it turns out bro, I'm sure the battery is most helpful use of all.

I love this case comes with extended holster for just using extended case and rugged holster with rugged case rugged case is very sturdy and feels very nice in hand I'm not concerned about dropping my evo anymore
the only complaint I might have is when u try to type far keys next to edge you hit case but on rare occasions
Overall definitely worth the wait plus integration with my seidio car dock using ext case is pure icing on the cake
The only reason I won't upgrade this phone is cause the sheer amount of accessories I bought to get it perfect and I'll wait till it dies
Once again thanks seidio for making best sturdy sexy looking accessories ever

This looks like a major problem to me. Does anyone that hasthis case use one of the "slide style" keyboards? I use one and i'm worried I wont be able to "slide" over and hit the P or the Q. Can someone please let me know if this is true or not.
Also I have another question. Does that big beefy belt clip hold securely on a dress/casual type of belt or does it flop around? A friend of mine had the regular rugged case and he hated the holster because it wouldn't grab onto his regular sized belt it would flop around.

Belt pouch

I have a diztonic case for my nexus. Is there a belt pouch compatible with the phone with the case on it?

It will fit into the Maxpedition 5" Clip-On Phone / Radio Holster. It is a bit pricey and a bit rugged (so not so good with a smart suit or tux!) but it will hold your phone securely.
Junk the metal belt clip because it can pull out. Thread your belt through the 3 Molle straps horizontally or make a belt loop from a Maxpedition 3" Tactie (Google instructions on using Tacties) or a Malice clip. I use this holster for my Galaxy S2 with a Tactie and it's totally secure.
One point to consider is that the corners of the phone are exposed but I find that the phone cover protects those.

I was looking to buy one of these for my Lunada but wasn't sure if it would fit. Thanks for the info! Ordering it now.

Happy to help. Bear in mind that the 5" holster is really 5" tall and a Nexus is 5.33", so you'll have a little bit of phone protruding. Personally I think that's perfectly fine and gives you something to get hold of to pull the phone out, but I should probably have made that clear. The retaining strap is plenty long enough to accommodate the extra length.
I bought 2 of these for my SGS2 (black and khaki) and I love them. They're totally secure so long as you junk that crappy metal belt clip.
Please post back your opinion once you've tried yours.

Just received mine last week. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I didn't have any 5" tac ties left to get it on my bag. Ordered those, should have them today sometime.
Overall I don't really have anything to complain about other than wishing I had a way for molle to be both secure and also easy to remove when I don't need it

I believe you only need a 3" Tactie.

Have you tried Malice clips? They're easier to thread and to undo providing you have a suitable tool handy. I personally don't like them because I find them big, clumsy and inflexible. They make horrid belt loops but they do hold stuff to a pack more tightly than a Tactie and won't ever come undone by accident.
If I don't mind something swinging about a bit I just fasten it with a carabiner. That's the ultimate quick-release Molle connector. :laugh:

Looking For a Good Solid Nexus 5 Case

I don't know why it's been so hard for me to find a case that has almost otterbox-like quality for the Nexus 5, but it has proven to be just that. I was hoping when I first found out OtterBox didn't make one maybe I could find a Trident Kraken case for it, but also this led to a dead end. I wound up finding and buying an I-Blason, but I'm not satisfied. The belt clip makes it so hard and inconvenient to take the phone out when It is clipped to your belt and the one that had a belt clip didn't have a built in screen protector so I bought the one they suggested for the case which again I could not use, because when I went to place it on my device I found that after I removed the back so I could use it there was so small white lint or something stuff to the screen that I knew would bother me, but I decided to see if it was just my imagination, but alas it was not they are clearly visible, along with the rainbow looking bubbles I could not seem to get rid of on the screen.
So if anyone has had better luck finding a case for this phone please let me know, like I said I prefer one with a belt clip and built in screen protector, but apparently this is just something no one seems to want to make. I'm seriously considering just giving up and waiting to see if any good companies release a case of this quality for the Nexus 6 and just wait till then. :/
Thanks in Advance,

Check out the Ballistic SG Maxx. It's probably my favorite case. Here's a review I wrote on it.
