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

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

Don't know if you all saw this yet, but just looked over the Amazon.com website and saw these -

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.

Are you talking about the Holster or the Rugged case?
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?

Best 2 part thin evo case?

I'm looking for an evo case that is soft inside then hard on the outside but still not bulky at all. Anyone know how bulky the otter commuter case is? That seems perfect but pricey.. anyone seen one like that but cheaper???
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

i just got the commuter case today. I also have the HTC Silicone, and the otter box is thinner. The otterbox feels very solid and I think it was well worth the money.

I bought one of these and have been using it for about 3 months now. I am very happy happy with it.

I ordered one of the feather cases from Incipio. It should be here in a couple of days and I will let you know how it is.

Can you send a link for that case..i can't find it on there site

Here it iis:

Well, I went ahead and ordered the Seidio Innocase Active for $22.98 shipped
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220673169735
I liked the Otter box commuter but looking at it, it doesn't look like the hard outter shell covers the bottom two corners of the phone.. which is where drop damage usually happens. The Seidio does. The case-mate tough case looked really nice, but it was $30 shipped and didn't seem to be any better than the Seidio. The Feather case doesn't seem to really have much drop protection, it looks mainly like it for keeping the phone pretty. Once the case is here, I'll let you guys know what I think! Thanks guys!

I just found out the incipio is not a 2 part case.

Problem many people are having...including my wife and I, is that the Seidio Rugged corners will chip off, I've never dropped my phone but somehow those corners ended up popping off. I could understand with my Evo, I'd have to pull the battery a lot in the beginning and the case would have to come on and off...but my wife's Evo has never needed a battery pull and has never fallen.
That being said, many people have no problems with their Seidio Rugged and Active...I hope you enjoy yours.

My Rugged's exoskeleton broke after a few months of use. The corner as the previous poster mentioned. My Limited Active Edition is still fine though after much more use than the Rugged.

[Q] What case/cover to get with Seidio 3500mAh battery?

So I'm going to get the 3500mAh battery from Seidio. But i absolutely HATE their battery cover.
It looks like they just used as little creativity in making it and it was a last minute design that someone threw together.
So i'm curious as to what other cases/covers there are to make up for such a flawed design on Seidio's part.
I prefer to stay away from the rugged design stuff since the phone is already big enough in my pocket.

Id like to know as well. I don't mind the back cover I just need something to protect my phone now that sprint isn't covering cracked screens anymore
Sent from my Evo while i should be working

I've seen people make a cutout with those cheap TPU cases, so it kind of turns out to be a "bumper" case.
Short of a DIY project, I don't think you have any other choices other than that rugged case.
If you find on though, let me know!

Personally I've only ever seen the official cover made by Seidio for use with the 3500mh battery. And yeah, the phone is ginorous with that sucker on there. Don't think there's any other alternatives though.

What I did was cut a hole in the back of a polymer case and it feels almost the same size as a stock evo with the seidio surface case

Did the same here. Yeah, it looks ghetto, but it's the best choice without springing for the Seidio case.

I said the same thing but I'm debating on getting the rugged extended case on amazon its only 38, so Im just waiting to see if the price drops to like 30 or so then ill buy it

Could we get some photos of these custom cases / case mods?

Alternative Otterbox Suggestions

I have had the Otterbox defender on since day one. And it protects great. Today i took it off to swap my battery and remembered how great this phone looks without it. But I'm not one to go unprotected.
I'm looking for suggestions on other cases. Something that protects but necessarily the bulk of the Otterbox. I work a office job so rugged case isn't too necessary.
Must be compatible with the extended battery.
I was looking at the SGP Neo hybrid cases but they say coming soon on the website.
Please share your suggestions. Thanks guys.

Hey, i have the commuter case on for a few days now and i love it. It adds just enough bulk and size to the phone to make is sit and feel perfect in my hand. But everyones hands are different so not all will think its great. I did however order the Neo Hybrid case in Reventon yellow and should have it tomorrow or saturday and ill let you know how it is and feels along with some pics, and possibly a small review.
But so far i LOVE the commuter case. should take a look at it. i wrote up a review but i have to do a few more posts before xda lets me post it lol

I have the Otterbox Defender as well and am surprised at how much I like it... Typically like nothing on my phones but gotta have protection on this beauty...
Just got an Incipio Silicrylic in the mail to try... Definitely less bulk than the Otterbox... You can actually see some of the sexy lines of the Nexus with this case.... The Incipio provides some protection, as it does have at least some hard plastic to it, but not anything close to the Otterbox.. Not sure that my GNex would survive a fall on a hard surface in the Incipio....
Problem with the Incipio is that it will not fit in the Otterbox holster or the Verizon holster that I already have, so probably will go back to the OB Defender...
Anybody interested in making me an offer on a brand new Incipio or Verizon Case & Holder I will listen....

One reason for my Otterbox purchase was the holster. But i have never used it. It's too big to have clipped on my side.
I know no case will protect like the defender but im good with my phones to get a scaled down case. I thought about the commuter but not sure how much size difference there is.
What price you looking at for your incipio?

I watched a review and it said with the extended battery the plastic outer shell just fit tightly against the silicone as it does at the top. Did you notice this?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

Fit tight w/extended battery in, but not a problem in my opinion... I would bet it might even loosen up a bit over time...
I like the Incipio's look and feel... Much smaller size than OB, but have to have a holster to carry my GNex..

It doesn't have quite the amount of protection (ie not waterproof) like the defender but soon Ballistic will release their case for the Galaxy Nexus. I have a Galaxy Nexus on the way and will be giving my Nexus S to my wife. My wife is like a phone's worst nightmare. She seems to always be dropping them and my two kids are both under 3 and the oldest loves to snatch our phones. I got the Ballistic case for the Nexus S for her and after putting it on yesterday I'm a believer. I already have it covered completely by Ghost Armor skin, and with the Ballistic case it's just very well protected. The bumpers on the corners are amazing and so is the fit and finish. Makes the phone pretty bulky (not as much as the defender) but it makes the phone much nicer to hold and type on. I would recommend it for the Galaxy Nexus. I have a TPU case on order but will pick up the Galaxy Nexus version Ballistic case too once it is released.

Do you have any quick impressions/pics of the Neo Hybrid? It'll be interesting to see how well it fits the LTE GNex since it was designed for the GSM non-extended battery GNex.

I have the Incipio Silicrylic (aka Double Cover, VZW repackaged). It's a nice case and it fits well on the phone. It doesn't add too much bulk. I like that the hard cover goes around the corners, unlike the Otterbox Commuter. Cutouts for the phone are nice. No need to mess around with clumsy flaps. And the buttons work well under the silicone cover. Great case for less. I got mine at the Verizon store for $20 +tax after a discount. I don't use a holster, but I am looking into getting an XO Skin.
Another alternative that I was initially looking at was the Seidio Surface Combo. It's a hard soft-touch case with a holster, if you need the holster. They also sell it without.

Quality Pouch w/ Belt Clip or Holster Case Compatible?

Hey all. Does anyone know of a good quality case that clips onto a belt? Preferably one that will last through some physical activity (those fake leather pouches will fall apart). Also huge plus if anyone has experience with a recommended case and knows that it can survive some random bursts of jogging or running (I've had some cheap magnetic ones that would open up and make my phone fly).
Secondly, anyone know of a belt case/pouch that is big enough to fit a protective HTC One case? For example, an Otterbox Commuter? This particular criterion has made my search much harder, but finding one would save me a headache.
I'd love some suggestions. Thanks!

That's actually pretty interesting, although not sure if that will function in more everyday situations as well.
Also, does anyone know if SEIDO's ACTIVE Holster is compatible with the Otterbox Commuter? I've read that for a few other phone models, for some reason SEIDO's Holster fits the Commuter perfectly, but wasn't able to confirm if it's the same for the HTC One.
I was also suggested fortte and bugatti-mobilecases
Would definitely love more suggestions!

Nope. Commuter and active holster don't fit. Commuter is a little thicker. I love the commuter, but need a clip from time to time. The active case is very nice though.

I am looking for one as well. I use the commuter. I always had a ppouch for my OG EVO4G w/commuter and had no issues. 2 months of the ONE with the commuter and I now have a scratch in the screen. I really need a good quality pouch.

I ordered the Otterbox Defender for my One today, it supposedly comes with a belt clip. It's about $38 on Amazon.
