I feel like I should warn everyone that with prolonged use this case will scratch the hell out of the sides of your phone thanks to the wiggle the top half has

I haven't seen any scratching with mine, and have been using since June. The cover fits very tight, maybe you got a bad one or I am just lucky so far.

I picked up a case at Best Buy that reminds me of the old Body Glove case I had for my G1. It's lightweight snaps tight and has kind of a golf glove texture. Love it so far.

I've had mine since June as well and the rubber on the back is peeling away. I would go with a Seido case if I had it to do again. Just my 2 cents.

I'm on my second body glove case and about to return it for my third. It's just cheap, hard plastic with a vinyl sticker on the back, certainly not worth the money. The first one I had lasted a month or so but the second one I got, broke the second time I tried to take it off. The only good thing about it is the fact that Sprint gives you a 1yr warranty on it.

Is that power button easy to access?

The case is junk. Almost anything else is better. It pops open on the slightest drop and the phone goes flying. I switched to an otterbox and would never go back.

You must just be lucky. Had mine since June, sides are all scratched. Also, the third time it fell all four clips that hold the corners together broke. Oh, and the back has peeled off from the case itself. Not for the active user.

Had mine since June.......the corner chipped off and the back is peeling off. Not worth the money.

i completely agree, it is because of the plastic strip above the volume rocker that i did not like the case, one it's second drop on the ground the case snapped off and broke. I was disapointed with the craftmanship of the case, especially seeing as how it came from body glove. now i use seidio and i haven;t had any problems with the case so far.

I bought the 15 dollar cover which is 11 dollars with 25% off and Tax. If thats what you ment. I also applied Zagg Case Full body. Its like a silicone if thats what you want to know about its ok. Protects nicks from drops
No I meant this Body Glove Cover

Apparently no one has it. Because it was never sold at a Sprint Store.

Looks awesome but I would still get a Zagg cover
Im gonna go ahead and order it and post pictures and such.
I've got the Body Glove that I bought with my phone in a Sprint store and think that its awesome...
Very thin, but fragile when taking it apart because of how thin one part of it is and how you need to seperate it.
The back is the only part that is tacky, do unlike the Body Glove for the Hero, this one does not stick to everything from every angle so they clearly learned their lesson. The rest is high polish black plastic and is quite attractive.
I'll take some pictures later.

I was going to get one but if you look up some reviews on it, it appears it might break (meaning the tabs would break off), I have 3 batteries and ordered a 2 more knock offs to go with the 3 htc I have as a couple were from my touch pro 2. The problem I have is if I change the battery a lot,would the case crack the mounting tabs? Also I have heard from people with the body glove cases they scratch the sides of the phone. I did install the ghost armor and was thinking of putting this over it, but the clips breaking or possibly breaking with me changing batteries really worries me.... There is a review of someone with video clips of the case... I wish they had felt all around it and I would probably get one.
i got this case, and think its pretty good, from the front you can barely tell a case is on there, the back is kinda tacky, but its growing on me. i do think it will be hard to get in and out of the case, but im ok with that. if i dont like it i may just go with a cheap silicon case after a while...or maybe the seido case. i like it better than my silicon case on the hero because it always got stuck in my pocket, this one doesnt, its easy in an out.
oh yea, and its doesnt get as dirty, or have lint and **** stick to it as easy as the silicon case. plus silicon cases just look to cheap ass...this phone deserves better.

They had this at my sprint store. The salesman was nice enough to let me try all the cases they had on my phone (today not launch day). By far I think the silicone one is he best, it's the cheapest thinest easiest to put on and remove and it says htc on the back. I hated the body glove one for the same reason as best buys platinum one. It adds to much thickness feels cheap in hand and is a pita to take off.
Oh yeah and with the silicone one its much easier to hit the power button than without any case and the body glove one made it a bit harder to hit the power button over stock.
i have the body glove.. picked it up as I wanted to have atleast some sort of protection.
Its ok so far. Doesn't add bulkyness at all.
I brought the body glove case as well from sprint today. I like it but as the op stated earlier it is hard to hit the power button. The one thing about it that bothers me is that it doesn't snap completely at the vol up/down area. I'm not sure if anyone else who owns the body glove case has the same issue as I do.
Well that helps me decided. I guess I'm sticking with my Silicone Gel from Sprint. Its pretty good for its purposes.

I actually modified my body glove case where the volume buttons are I snipped of the thin flimsy piece on the top half much better.
Also incase anyone wants to know the evo with the body glove case fits in the leather belt pouch sprint also sells. For me this is all temporary until they release the charging case.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I would not buy that case. I got mine on release day. The piece of plastic around the volume rocker area is super thin. I had the case for less than a day before that thin strip of plastic broke. I think I'm holding out for that charging case.

i bought it and i like it alot i though it was gonna be like the body glove from the hero that i also liked but not the bulky but the way it protected hehe
my room mate went out and bought some 3 pack from a sprint store in the mall, and gave me the body glove one posted, and to be honest, mines perfect.
the entire thing snapped together perfect, i havent had to take it apart yet.. so i suppose it could wreck it, since it is kinda flimsy, but i think its about perfect.
i have some thin blue resin rubber case on my nexus, and thats what i really wanted, but ****, this makes the phone look pretty sleek, and ive dropped it a few times already, and the case seems to take it, no splitting.
again, volume rocker area, and power button area, are snapped together perfect, no gaps. need pics?
I have it I like it no issues with the volume rocker area because thats the first corner I snap together

Posted a pic of this case when I bought it 3 days ago
case broke in 1 day
I got this case Friday with my new phone, but by Saturday evening, it had broken. There is a really thin and fragile piece of the case that goes around the volume rocker, that got a lot of stress just from it's placement and broke.

That is what happened to mine. I returned mine to sprint and they gave me a full refund. Now I'm in a bind between getting the 3 pack from sprint or getting the innocase II.

Verizon Motorola DROID X Snap-In Belt Holster - Yes Its Real

Hey guys, i got this in a few days ago so I can verify it fits the MOTOROLA DROID X not the Samsung that the description says.
You can even tell by the part # that it is made for the DROID X. Why Verizon has it screwed up I dont know, but it is the ONLY face-in snap-in holster I have found.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=46229
Enjoy, I will post pics of it on my phone in a bit.
They have a better one that comes with a back shel also
It is called shell/holster combo for $30

I have the holster. It's a little flimsy and I'm probably going to replace it with the Seidio. As for the holster shell combo, it sucks. I had it for my incredible and it gets loose.

I like that better because it comes with the protective case, and its a clip on.
That's the one I had, it's made by Amzer. It doesn't protect the top of the device either. Mine fell out of the holster and dinged up the top of my phone.

I have this one and hope it loosens up over time. Right now, it takes two hands to get the phone out of the holster because it's so tight. It works great for me though, no worrying about the phone falling out of the holster.

I might have to get this one then, if its that tight.
I work at an auto parts store so im constantly moving around, brushing up against greasy things or crawling under people's cars so I need some protection for my phone. How is the quality of the case?
Also, does the case wrap around the front of the phone? I mean if I lay the phone face down will the screen touch or will the case protect it?
Yes, the case does wrap around the front enough to keep the glass off the counter when you lay it down. Both the shell and the hoster are rigid with a rubberized feel.
It doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone like some cases I've looked at, so the phone is pocketable when you want to go without the holster.
I picked mine up in my Verizon store, so would recommend you stop at one and ask to see it on an X.

Yes i have this holster. Just picked it up yesterday. And it seems secure and I liked the look and the feel of it in my hand. Just didn't like that it left the top of the phone exposed. In the holster its protected though. Its when you take it out it seems like it could possibly get dinged at the top of the phone if it fell. Otherwise it seems pretty cool. Im looking to see if someone comes out with a holster that includes complete coverage of the phone and holster combo. I think they didn't cover the top because the antenna is located there. Not sure but just a theory.

The screen protectors we talk about in this thread (the SGP Crystal Clear ones) are the best by far, and they also have the anti-fingerprint ones too.

Otterbox Defender Kickstand Disintegrated!

I've had my Otterbox Defender EVO case for a week now. I picked it up this morning and noticed the plastic kickstand in the back is broken in 4 places.
I have not dropped my EVO nor have I placed anything heavy on top of it. My only conclusion is that this kickstand is a VERY cheap, paper thin piece of plastic and basically disintegrated under normal use.
Now I get to sit on hold with Otterbox for 1/2 hour to try and get my money back. Disappointing as rest of the case is great.

Bought the Defender for the built-in screen protector. The kick-stand is a joke though. It is literally thin as a sheet of paper. Completely shattered. I have now been on hold for 15 minutes waiting to speak to Otterbox. Grrrr.
Will never buy from these people again.
Good news. I finally got through to Otterbox and they are refunding my money. Apparently the kickstand problem is a known issue and they've been getting some blowback on it.
Too bad. I liked the case otherwise.
Are they paying for the return postage or do you have to?

I don't have to return it at all. I am guessing this has been a HUGE problem and that is why they are being so nice - that or their profit margins are so huge on these things that they are better off just eating a few and maintaining good customer relations than making me return a defective product and having me tell all my friends that they suck.
Their case sucks (the kickstand anyway), but they did right by me.
I called yesterday with a problem of my plastic inner case not snapping closed completely, and they are sending me out a new case nc today...
Yeah, the kickstand is flimsy, but I dont agree its as "thin as a sheet of paper"..
their customer service is top notch, so far....
Yep, I looked at it today and noticed it was cracked so I went ahead and called and they are replacing it for me. I asked if there were any plans on revising it with a metal kickstand and she told me if they get enough complaints then they would but it would take another couple months to do. Great customer service, just wish they would have used metal in the first place.

They offered me a new one but I figured, what's the point? It will just break again. They credited back my money without even asking for the case back. I ordered the Impact which will provide protection but I can still use the EVO kickstand.
I just looked an my Defender again. Lord, that kickstand is destroyed. The weird part is that to this day, I still have no idea what happened to it. One day it was fine and the next day it was shattered. I never dropped it or dropped anything on it.
Who knows. Weird.
The overall case is excellent but the kickstand and the holster are complete disasters. The holster literally rattles when you wear it due to the VERY loose clip on the back. Also, as big as the Defender is, the holster seems two sizes again larger. You could carry a paperback novel in that thing.
Defender - odd mix of awesomeness and complete sucktitude.
Yeah this thing was/is a massive fail from the day one shipping issues to the case (and holster) itself. 8 days of prodding them to get mine and they finally shipped it Overnight. Screen protector giving me the oilslick look so I pulled it off,didn't need 2 anyway. The phone was way loose in the holster so I had to stick some felt pads in there. Today I took the phone & case out of my pocket to show it to somebody and the kick stand was cracked. I haven't even used it because I've been reading about all the broken ones. They had decided not to charge me for the case so I guess I can say it was worth the money.

That's the mysterious part in all this. No one seems to know WHY their kickstands are cracking. Like you, there was no event for me that cracked it. It is almost as if there is a fault in the plastic and it just cracked spontaneously?
I have a feeling that the problem is not in the thinness of the kickstand, but that somehow they got a run of VERY brittle plastic; however, when i pick up what remains of the kickstand and try to break it with my fingers it is very tough and won't break.
Odd.
So it seems that for some reason, the area where the kickstand attaches to the phone is VERY brittle whereas the main body of the kickstand is very tough.
Ah, I see the problem now...
The core of the kickstand on the reverse side is hollowed out. While the kickstand itself is thick and sturdy enough to handle the job, the middle has been shaved down to paper-thin. If there is any twisting of the kickstand at all (like it catches on your pocket fabric as you remove it) that twisting motion puts stress on the weakest part of the stand (the paper thin area between the pins that hold it to the case).
If they had just made the kickstand a solid piece of plastic none of us would even be having this conversation. Since the hollowing out of the kickstand adds nothing to it's functionality and makes it easy to break, one has to wonder why they made that design choice?

After reading what happened to you I won't even try to open the kickstand on mine. As far as the holster is concerned I solved the looseness by small pieces of transparent silicone tape in the inner four corners and it's a snug fit now.
I have done almost everything I could to break mine including bending it pretty good and everything is fine. Doesnt rattle at all and I have opened and closed it over 1000 times.

What a great case!!!

I tried after market cases and they just broke when trying to take them off my phone. So yesterday I went to T-Mobile store and bought the Body Glove hard case for my Vibrant. What a fantastic case. It is a 2 piece case and has the chrome frame which keeps the phone looking sexy. The case is pricey at $29.99 but worth every penny. And yes you can find this case cheaper on Amazon and such. I just hate waiting for things.
i was also thinking of buying this but 29 for case?? dam.
It is a nice looking case, but my friend has one and says its pretty fragile. It has fallen apart when he's dropped it. Id say there's better cases for that price.

Well that sucks. Wonder if he just got a bad one? I have to use a flat head screwdriver just to take this case apart lol. As far as the price goes, $30 is high but the case will really keep your phone from breaking.
I just paid 12 shipped. Shop around. I am on my second one. I won't use anything but this case. My phone fell out of my hands and the case cracked but the phone didn't have a scratch on it.

I also use this case religiously, even right now. Yes, i need to use either a flashed screw drive or a key to pry it open, but it's a sad day on merryville. just the other day brushing my teeth, my phone slipped from my hand from a standing position and landed on a carpeted floor. It landed in such a way that it just poped off (the plastic chrome front) and i now have a hair line scratch on the lower left of my screen. :-(
I babied my vibrant, and to have this happened saddens me!
Some how in the momentum of it popping off, scratched my screen. This is why i paided $30 so this wouldn't happen. Should i call the company?

Man that sucks! I would call and complain. If that happens to me I will go straight to the T-Mobile store where I purchased the case and complain.
These are the exact issues I was referring to. It seems tight, but it wont hold up under a fall, and when it does pop open, you're phone could easily fall out or get scratched by the case itself.
I own this case, got it shortly after seeing it in the Tmobile store. I got it off ebay not sure what i paid for it exactly. I've dropped my phone 2 or 3 times since i've owned this case and (knock on wood) each time, the case has stayed together. My heart stopped each time as i watched my phone bounce off concrete and tile but the case has never failed me. The kicker for me was i wanted a phone i could attach to my belt as i've become addicted to havin my phone on my belt and i really hate the feel of alot of stuff in my pocket. On the bonus you get a replaceable piece to flip out if you dont want the belt clip portion and rather a smooth pocket case.
As for my only problems with the case id say first and foremost is its rather bulky. It makes the phone feel really protected but almost feels like twice the phone in your hand with the case on. That and as i've dropped my phone i've noticed the chrome is starting to peel on the cases front.
As a tip i've always wondered what the cutout on the right side towards the bottom was for. All the other cutouts go to something... i.e. power buttons/volume buttons/3.5 headphone jacks.... but that cutout goes to nothing!? Well i started shoving stuff in it and found a coin fit perfectly and could get the case off easily with a little twist.
you dont know what your talking about i bought the vibrant in november and i bought that case + a screen protector that case is perfect for the phone your friend is just rough on things... ive dropped the phone from like 5 feet like 30 times still fine
I bought this case offline for 12.99 and free shipping. The flimsy chrome cover (piece 2 of 2) wont clip on in one place. Come that way, factory. Hopefully T-Mobile will trade me out in the store since the box is T-mobile branded.

Incipio Feather Ultralight Hard Shell Case

http://store.androidcentral.com/incipio-feather-ultralight-hard-shell-case/4A123A8186.htm
That case is more slippery than atrix itself. Otherwise I liked it.
I voided my warranty.
Didn't know that was possible I got one coming anyway. Dropped my phone once already and got a few scratches on the battery cover. Needed something that wasn't bulky
That case is not best for protection. Its better for docks and desk duty. It bulks up phone a little, but the grip is lacking on it.
I voided my warranty.
Cool, thanks for tip! Black and Magenta in stock.
Tried to order black one to Canada but $17.95 shipping
nice but weak
Nice velvety feel to the case, slim and light. Mine broke near the volume rocker after about a month, just from taking it in and out of my pocket. Never dropped it.
Better off with the ruggedized battery cover IMHO

These cases are available for $10 Radio Shack (in-store). It also comes with a screen protector, which I haven't installed.
I'm not crazy about the fact that it leaves the top (near power button/fingerprint scanner) pretty exposed, but I'm coming to terms with it. Also, I'm not sure I agree it's more slippery than the naked phone. It feels less slippery, although, for me, I think it has to do with the ergonomics of the phone. It just felt like the naked phone could slip form my grasp fairly easily. With this case, less so.
5$ + tax at Office Depot for red or black ones

Just got one at radio shack for $10
I got mine a few days ago and my wife is telling me that she has trouble hearing me when the case is on. She says that it sounds like I'm holding the phone out. Is anyone else experiencing this? It doesn't cover the mic port so I can't explain why it's happening. I'm not using the screen protector either.
I bought a red one on Amazon because I like hard shell cases. It broke near the volume rocker within a day, no drops. I wouldn't trust it for protecting the phone in a fall, even from waist height.

My case broke by the speaker after a few months.. Incipio does have a good customer service (IMO) I sent an rma request.. and all they needed was proof of the crack (emailed picture), and an address to send a new one.

Same happened with me , broke from the speaker corner. I just sent an email to their customer support with a picture of the broken case and they sent me a brand new case for free... not even shipping.... these guys are awesome
