Seidio Innocase Active?? [UPDATE: Now For Preorder]

I've done searching and all I can find is reviews of the Active LE on Amazon. Does anyone have the Active from Seidio direct? (http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr6hev4-wh.htm) Any reviews people have found on it?
I've been looking at the white one cause I like the contrast on it, any thoughts?
EDIT:
After looking closer online, it seems like they are identical cases, just in different colors. Can anyone confirm this for me?
UPDATE:
Seidio has listed the Active as Available For Pre Order, Shipping 7/16
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4257.htm

The exoskeleton is different. It looks like the LE one from Amazon has fingers that wrap around while the one from the Seidio website appears to have more solid sides with the rubbery part only showing on the top and bottom and all the way around the front.

SnAp..I just ordered from amazon, and I love the sage case from sedio.

That's what it looked like to me though, I wonder if that adds any significant bulk to it. There has to be SOMEONE who ordered the black one from Seidio....

Damn, those on the seidio site are SEXY. Im glad i waited.

O yeah....... LOVING that case. Good find, will be ordering one asap. Probably get black and blue

hmmmmmm to many nice ones

I purchased mine from Amazon before they listed them as being in stock and ended up geting it within 3 days of my order so that was cool.
I have the Body glove case, the HTC leather holster/pouch and the Seidio Innocase II Surface holster combo.
The Seidio Active case is by far my favorite and I have not seen anything else out yet that compares. I feel much more confident that my phone would survive a drop in this case than any of the previously mentioned.
It also has a great feel to it. I have the original black one and a Zagg screen protector.

Here's my review
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0mzRJDGx78

Just placed an order for the limited edition on amazon. It said it'll take about a month to arrive which blows. I'm hoping its better than the bodyglove case. I dropped my phone with it and the case went flying off which kinda defeats the purpose. Luckily nothing happened to my phone.

Nice video review, I wouldn't kind trying the active out. Looks pretty study.

Scratch previous post. I'm waiting for the blue active case. Too sick! The white is nice too but I work in a dirty environment so not worth it. Anyone know when the new are ones are going to be released?
Sent from my PC36100

The Amazon limited edition case is the best available atm. I've ordered just about every case available (excluding the cheap $5-$10 ebay cases) and this one from amazon is by far the best. Feels great, durable, slides in and out of pocket well, will not fly apart when dropped. Cant go wrong. I went ahead and pre-ordered the green, blue and burgandy as well.

I have the Rugged Case with the exoskeleton. It is worth every penny. I don't even think otterbox can make a better case. The extra shell does NOT add any significant bulk, and it is very necessary so that the rubber skin doesn't easily come off by just handling the phone.
I also have the holster. (i have the innocase holster. They say it its not made for it, but it fits mine just fine. I bought it before they made a holster combo for the active exoskeleton case)
I bought mine off of Amazon.

I ask because I preordered the Rugged case from Amazon and they haven't been shipped yet. Just checked out Seidioonline.com and they are pushing the shipping date back until next week WTF!

Well I am using the Silicone case from Radioshack. Provides good protection, but I would like to get my Rugged case for two reasons.
1 - For the "otterbox" type protection
2 - Return the silicone case to "The Shack" and get my $20 refunded

You have a Rugged for the EVO??? How is this possible? They haven't shipped any of them yet. In fact, I canceled my order because, they haven't shipped.
Do you have pics or a review? Are the ports on the bottom covered?

Seidio Surface Combo Case Review

Made a review for everyone of this awesome case!
http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?3333-Seidio-Surface-Combo-Case-Review

If anybody was wondering, I got mine in today and it does fit with an SGP screen protector installed.

How thick compared to tpu?

Someone picked one up today for me and will be returning it tomorrow. Very cheap and unattractive. This is what I have come to expect from siedo so no surprise here. Ordering Ballistic.

I had one of these for my Evo 3D and loved it. I'm rocking the combo case from Sprint now. It's decent but doesn't protect the top and bottom of the phone.
Sent from my Samsung Epic™ 4G Touch

I feel that with the exception of the volume button cover and the case being soft instead of hard plastic, the TPU case is just as elegant and much more wallet friendly.

I am satisfied with my seidio case. It offers some protection without adding a lot of bulk. It also has a matched holster available and I am able to put it in the holster and remove it with one hand. This is something that I could not do with the sprint case.

I use the Seido holster and a TPU case.
Perfect Combo. TPU fits perfectly in holster.

I got the same exact case & holster at Best Buy with their platinum branding. As you may already know Best BUY platinum brand stuff & seidio stuff is the same, just a different brands label. Only $34.99 at the big blue box. It looks exactly the same except where the one on the video says seidio, this one has the Pt inside a box like platinum on a element chart.

Does anybody else have a gap where the 2 pieces some together on their case? I noticed that there is a small gap on both sides after installing the case. I installed it properly and you can hear it latch when you press on the spot on the back. I dropped my phone and when it landed the bottom piece came off completely. I was hoping for a tighter fit.

I ordered mine from ebay and got it yesterday. The case is awesome. Its light and blends with the phone perfectly. Thanks for the review QBKing!!

is this thinner than the TPU case?
Is it just on/off or are there little stickies and crap for the phone to fit snugly?
What is the wear/tear like? Does it disintegrate or pop off when you drop it three feet or so onto the concrete? (TPU case remains intact)
JC

I purchased the the Platinum Series case (seidio re-branded) from best buy $34.99 and included the belt clip. I like the matte feel of the case and its looks however the fitment isn't there. everything seems snug except the area near the bottom where the top and bottom piece meet. The tolerances are too large and allows for a fair bit of slop. One friend said upon showing him my phone "oh my your phone is already falling apart" (referring to the sloppy case)
I did however just come up with a fix for this. I lined the part with a bit of electrical tape to snug up the fitment, now feels rock solid! and I really like the case more!
I can include pics if there is any interest.

Belt Holster

Does anyone recommend a good belt case holster? I prefer a vertical one, and one big enough to fit in with a tpu case... any suggestions?
I am considering these...

I've heard the holster for the Seidio Surface case will hold a TPU case as well if it's slim enough. Very good holster BTW.

EDIT: Saw the link for the Seidio holster in your OP. I wouldn't go with that one because it is made for a phone with no case on it.

Otterbox Commuter & Seidio Active Holster: Perfect Fit-PICS ADDED 07/25

My buddy and I bought several different cases to compare. We both agree that the Otterbox Commuter case is our favorite so far for it's solid feel, and the Seidio Active holster fits it, screen facing in, like they were made for each other. I ordered my holster as soon as I tried his with my Otterbox. Great coverage for throwing in a work bag and going. Take care all.

Were did you get the defender case from?

Well, I can't post links yet for the photos (I have to have 10 posts before I can post links), and I have to wait five minutes between posts (also as a newbie)...so I can't even speed up the process. Sorry, I did take the pics for you yesterday.
As for your question regarding the Defender case, this thread involves the use of the Commuter case and the Seidio Active holster. I did however pre-order the Defender case from J&R Online, but it hasn't shipped yet. I've seen a ton of places offering the Defender online though.

I went to Best Buy last week right after I received my GSIII and they had some Otterbox Defender cases there. I was looking for and purchased the last Commuter case that day.

Hey folks, I took a few pics of the GSIII Commuter Otterbox. I had to use my Droid Incredible as my camera excuse the quality. I'm the type of person who takes his case off once he gets home so the Otterbox offers great protection however for daily removal it is a bit cumbersome.

Let me know if you need different pics. I'll use my GSIII to take those if need be. Here's a few more:

Here are the pics I promised. Sorry for the delay. I took these pics using my S3, with both auto-flash and no flash, inside of an office. Not the greatest pics in the world, but I tried to get all of the angles of the holster/case fit. Also, this is the Otterbox Commuter case, not the Defender. I have been using this combo for a week now, and I don't have a single complaint yet. Great protection and fit. Since you asked though, I did pre-order the Otterbox Defender case as well from J&R Online. Enjoy.

Silly idea, but why not use a Seidio Active case with a Seidio Active holster?

To answer your question, I personally do not like the Seidio Active case compared one-on-one to the Otterbox Commuter case. This holster gives me a great option for a case that doesn't have an OEM holster option. Why box yourself in with a case and/or a holster you don't prefer just so you can have the same name brand on each accessory?

I have had both the commuter with an hd invisishield and now the defender... I like the durability of the defender but I don't like that I tend to get dust stuck between the screen cover and the phones screen...really bugs me... I may be going back to the commuter

I haven't gotten my Defender in the mail yet, but I'm interested to see the difference. Nothing wrong with trying out different products to find what works for you. I keep my phones for 1.5-2 years so finding the right protection is worth it to me.

How much thickness was added to to it when u put the commuter on? In the pics it still looks pretty sleek. I just ordered the commuter in green and black a few days ago.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

I don't feel like the Commuter adds any unneeded bulk. It feels very solid, and the rubber portion does not move and is not flimsy, which I feel the Seidio Active case is. You can just peel the rubber back with your fingertips on those type of cases. The Seidio holster however feels really solid, and when used together there is absolutely no wiggle room or movement. I do have an open mind and look forward to seeing many more cases and options, but I am loving this combo for now.

Commuter added a bit more and the defender slightly more but the phone is skinny as it is and I was using a thunderbolt with an extended battery in a molded gel case before so even in a defender this still feels slim to me lol
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Picked up a Seidio Active holster today for my commuter and I must say it is a great combo.

Case with holster (sorry for another case thread)

Hey everyone,
I am looking for some feedback on this case: http://www.ebay.com/itm/390492036942?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Or point me in a direction of someone who make a case with a holster. I really like the UAG case but I don't want a case and then buy an even bigger holster to put the phone on my side.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you

imo dont expect top notch quality with those china items.. the Ballistic SG series has holster, the OB defender (imo its ugly) lol..

http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s-3-ballistic-sg-maxx-series-case
I have been through about 6 cases.
I wanted full coverage with a holster. Sadly most cases that offer decent protection add a ton of bulk.
This Ballistic case adds very little bulk. Your phone still feels slim and comfortable. The Otterbox adds way too much bulk and the built-in screen protector is garbage. The Ballistic screen protector is a separate piece and can be left out. It is still not the clearest.
If you want options in a case then go with this:
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-convert-value-pack-black-p/bd5-hkr4ssgs3.htm
It has a hard shell for everyday. Then a silicon surround and plastic exo skeleton.

If you want a great case definitely go with any Seidio case, plus there holsters are top notch and very sturdy! I'm using this one http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-surface-case-holster-black-p/bd2-hr3ssgs3-bk.htm and I got it off Amazon for $12 shipped for the case and holster.

The GS3 otter box defender holster looks to have the same sort of phone-side clip as the incredible s does. It's incredibly fragile and will break off if you look at it funny. I went though 3 of the holsters in a matter of months (their warranty service is top notch at least) before giving up on it and using a commuter case with a pouch holster until I replaced that phone.
I just ordered a seidio extended battery and one of their active cases, so I'll give my opinion of it when it arrives. The clip is an entirely different design.

yeah i read about the fragile clip and about the rubber getting loose in few weeks. Thats the reason i asked for a refund from the seller on ebay. He gave me a full refund, and the next thing I know a week later i received the case in the mail lol.. so got it free basically. Lack of communication on their end i guess. But overall I dont like the case much. I would give the ballistic a try.
