seidio innocase FINALLY!!!

http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4794.htm

at least its finally posted so we know for sure its real close!

Can you enlight me about this cases. What is so great about innocases?
Features, quality?

Looks good (judging based off of the Innocase for the Nexus One).
How might this case be better than say a TPU/Epik style case? Just curious.

These are the only cases I know of that you can also use with a holster.when I had it for my nexus there was also a option to upgrade to "rugged"which was perfect for me because I was doing construction.

Pics or fail

I hope it's a slider style case and not a snap on. If it's like this one, I'll probably get it.

I second that! I usually use a holster with my phone and this case looks sweet. Otterbox won't be coming out with a defender case for our phone so I think this is perfect! I'm gonna us this for the daily and the TPU case when I need to go light

Nice. This is the kind of case I was looking for. It reminds me a bit of the Agent 18 cases for the iPhone (but slightly higher quality, it looks like).
Has anyone used these cases before on other phones? It looks like it has some rubberized material on the outside? Does it attract lint and dust? The official Gel case (which has now become slightly stretched and useless) continues to pick up every annoying piece of debris. I've given up and gone bare until something better (like this case) comes along.

Do a search for "innocase surface" on YouTube and you'll see a lot of reviews. They describe a slightly rubberized feel to the case, but apparently it isn't tacky and doesn't attract dust or lint.

Yes it is 2 pieces and it slides together. Its had that nice slightly rubberized feel to it but not too muck to their point it grips too much

Sold, sold, sold. I want this thing!
Do they typically sell these at T-Mo corporate stores? Or do you guys just get them online usually?

Great holster
I'm a big fan of the Seidio holsters. I've had one for my last few Blackberries. I tried several different holsters but I was traveling a lot and working in ceilings and not one of them lasted more than a month. The clip would inevitably break off. It happened once and I didn't notice until later. I had to spend over an hour looking for my phone that was on vibrate!
I chose the Seidio because it looked rugged. It never failed no matter how much I abused it. Now that I have an MT4G I'm really looking forward to getting one of their holsters for it. I've never used the Innocase, but I hightly recommend the holster. It's built very tough without looking like it. I don't see they have one listed yet for use without the case, but I'm hoping they'll make one.

Really, I bought a Otterbox Commuter for my Captivate and hated it and returned it the next day. The hard plastic looked cheap and the rubber was a lint magnet. I don't have experience with Seido cases but I bought a holster for my wife's iPhone4 and it's great.

Had an Innocase on my BB 8900 and It was good for the most part. It was one of the slide up ones. But It DID scratch the chrome part on the phone.
I did drop it multiple times on the floor and nothing happened the phone. BUT, one day it dropped about 3 feet down to concrete and the case cracked and wouldn't hold the phone well like it did before.
IT did fall on concrete almost that high before and nothing until that one day.
Also sliding the case off a couple of times messed up its sturdiness. Sturdiness as in, when I'd slide it up it stay on. after a while it wouldn't stay on well.
On my N1 I bought an Otterbox case and it was the best case I had. Even though it attracted lint and was hard to take off sometimes, I wouldn't buy any other case !
EDIT: got a battery from them for my N1. The thickness made me get rid of it. Come to find out the stock battery lasted way longer.

I thought the Innocase II is the one that was 2 pcs and snaps together.

Anyone else getting an otterbox case for this phone!!!??

I just pre ordered my atrix 4g , and my otterbox case! I'm jizzing my pants! I can't wait to get this thing ! I hope it holds its own for at least a year!

when i get the phone, assuming i like it, i will be getting prob the mid OB case

Hate cases. I like my devices to stay thin.
I'll be getting a ghost armor kit when it comes out, and using that. I have one on my current HTC Aria, and have dropped the phone a bunch of times, no damage. Might consider doing the battery cover in 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber vinyl so the back actually has the CF look all the way to the edges.

I was going to get a OB defender but since I ordered the multimedia dock I don't want a case that is hard to take off.

Ordered... Love the big bulky bricky-ness protection it adds to the phone. I have to have a beltclip as well so seems like the perfect choice for me. I even went to the extent of getting a droid x belt holster and amzer case for my craptivate before the otterbox came out for it

I'll be getting the Defender one. I currently have the Defender for my 3GS and I love it!

Was thinking about the commuter, but will wait a while to see if I even need one. Was about 6 months before I put one on my nexus one.

I hate otterbox, they are the only company that can be twice as big and twice as much weight as the phone and still sell.

Are the Otter Box cases available at AT&T stores already? Otterbox.com just says coming soon.

Yes they are, I have my Otterbox Defender already. Bought it at att for $50. Had the same case for my cappy, love the defender cases.

I used to be an avid Otterbox Defender guy but just got tired going bulky.

oh my god wtf!!! I want my case ! my phone comes tomorrow!! Do they expect me to carry it around naked! What if I drop it? Jesus Christ!!!

I hope folks that ordered the Otterbox didn't also order the docks. Having to take that case off to use the docks is a quick way to never use the docks.

I really like Defender case with a clip. But can someone tell me how much "thickness" it adds?

Got mine but can't say I like it very much...don't know something about them just turns me off..but i got my phone yesterday and didn't want to mess it up or anything so I went down to my local att store and bought the first thing. Sucks cause now i cant return it (no returns on their accessories only exchange)

I guess none of them work with the docks? What cases do work with the docks?

Picked up my Atrix today and got the OB Defender with it. I like the heft and protection of it, honestly. The only thing I wish is that the screen protector that is part of the polycarbonate shell wasn't so prone to grease marks. Looks like crap and I've had it less than 8 hours.

I got the otterbox today. Feels good on the phone. Doesn't really feel too bulky. Actually makes the phone fit better in your hand. I usually hate otterbox, but this one is excellent

I agree. I've always made fun of my co workers with their iPhones in an Otterbox, but after trying the defender on mine I bought it. It is bulkier, but not too bad. Not looking to use docks or anything so that works out.

Case contemplation

I have had my thunderbolt for about a month now and it is naked. I dont know if i should wait for an otterbox or a ballistic case or just buy something like the active x

as long as you're careful, I say leave it naked!

My recommendation is, if you don't know what you want, then go cheap for now until you do know. The S-Line can be had for just a few bucks ($3-7) on eBay (and some other web-based stores sell it too, I believe) and is an good case. Not amazing, but good to excellent. It will last you until you know what you want, and may be what you want.

I just got my active x case today in the mail. I was tired of waiting for Otterbox to release its case. I'm extremely happy with the case.

i went cheap, cases aren't the quality i like and well... they suck.
i like my case-mate pop case, shinny back gets stratched but i can live with it. the rubber deteriorating that users complained about is more like tiny eraser shavings on mine from the friction going in and out of my pocket, but it comes and goes. i'm still closely examining it. its a GREAT case, kind of thick, but lots of protection.
i might get the case-mate barely there case since i'm very careful with my phone.
another suggestion is the HTC (OEM) TPU case, I like QUALITY TPU cases because they're thin and the material is great.

+1 for the case mate pop, got mine 20% off (use google to search for coupons, 2 minutes saved me $8 lol), standard shipping, case ordered friday morning and delivered via first class mail monday afternoon. I like the fit, I like the protection, and I honestly think the white case is bad ass (makes my phone look like a storm trooper IMO). Otterbox has no plans of releasing a commuter case based on my communications with them and the defender is just overkill for my needs.

wouldnt waste my money on the pop case. im on my second one and it already jacked up.

99% of the people Ive seen have problems with them. I wouldnt take my chances.

On Ebay I found an Otterbox knock off for thirteen dollars with no shipping cost. Had the built in screen protector and all which I promptly removed because it sucked. Came with a hard snap on shell and a rubber case to put around that. It doesn't look to bad at all and was a lot cheaper than Otterbox.

+1 for the case mate. I got mine in white. BTW I contacted case mate about the rubber wearing out. (i take my phone out of the case a lot to swap out batteries) and they sent me another case for free and let me keep my old one. 2 for 1 bonus!

The Seidio Surface case fits very well, doesn't add much bulk to the phone, and probably comes in any color you're likely to want. Seem to be available at a variety of prices, so pretty good deals to be had.

+1. Doesn't add too much bulk like the OB defender, and still feels good in the hands. No problems with cracking after a drop nor with rubber deterioration.

i am looking for a case that would protect if it was dropped and bumped around

After purchasing a soft case at the Verizon store where I bought my TB, I chucked it a few days later after it fell off a bunch of times. I ended up buying the Seidio Innocase II Surface Case on ebay. Best case imho.
It fits well and seems pretty sturdy. I know it's a pricey case, but I'm looking at the long-term in not having to buy a bunch of "cheaper" cases down the road when one will suffice.

The active-x from seidio worked for me. I've dropped it from about 3-4 feet with no ill effects. Doesn't add to much bulk, but is a little pricier than some cases. Use disc2011 for 10% off.

FYI: Seidio Rugged = Best Buy Platinum

Most of you probably know this, but the 'Pt' branded cases at best buy are designed, manufactured, and exactly identical to Seidio's. After learning this I just went to best buy to pick one up, instead of waiting on shipping.
Gonna check other threads now, but thoughts on seidio rugged vs otterbox defender? They're both solid, loving my seidio (Pt).

Yeah, funny thing, i just bought one 3 days ago and loving it. I have that Pt defender case and it is I believe made by the same company that makes Seidio or made by Seidio and rebranded by Best Buy. Either way, I love the Defender case they have, seems very solid. So far the only issue I have with it is that it does tend to mess with my Zagg screen a little bit around the edges, but I think I can live with that.

I have them both and they're both awesome. I find the power button easier to push with the platinum case and catch myself using that one more often.

I just purchased one, the seidio that is. To those of you with it now, how easy is it to pocket?

The exoskeleton makes pocketing better, less rubber to slide around. It is a bit bulky, but doesn't really bother me. remember, the first layer is the 'surface' case, which I use on its own when I'm not at work or play, and is much less bulky.

I just got my Seidio Rugged case in. I am very impressed, would recommend for sure. I really like the screen protector too honestly. It has a nice feel to it and it fills the entire screen (not like the gimpy verizon protectors).

Unfortunately, the rebranded ones from Best Buy don't include a screen protector, I purchased a freaking ripoff of a $20 zagg protector with it.

I've had several of each of the Platinum cases and the Seidio cases. From what I've seen from each one, the quality of the Platinum case is actually better than the Seidio, the felt inside my Seidio cases is sometimes offset, but not on any of the Platinum cases. The rubberized finish on the outside is peeling off of every single one of my Seidio cases, but not the Platinums(which is why I don't use the Seidios anymore, they look awful).

Yeah, Zagg screens are a ripoff, BUT, they work great too. I tested one out, and sent in for warranty replacement and they do send you one pretty quick. Just the warranty on that is worth the price to me, anytime you get a bubble or scratch, you just get another one for a cheap price. I like that about them. For me, I just got that thunderbolt and now I am looking at switching to T-Mobile...that same screen protector should fit the evo 3d decently which is what I am looking to pick up.

Does anybody know how to take the case off the phone? I for the life of me cannot do it. I have a better battery I want to put in, but just can't get the damn thing off lol.

Siedio Active case

Hey guys i just got this case in the mail today. Its called the Seidio Active, it is half silicon and half hard plastic the hard plastic has a nice rubberized grip to it. It feels like a nice strong case, but i haven't gotten to test it out yet,and dont plan on anytime soon! Its doesn't make the phone too bulky it says its only 2.2mm thick with the case on.
Its a little pricey at $30 but you might be able to find it some where cheaper. http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-epic-4g-touch-s/6971.htm
Some attached photos to see what it looks like

seems like it's a good case and does provide some protection against drops. Might get it if I can't find a cheaper case like this.

I use this case and its excellent ibe dropped my phone a couple of times and its done well I just wish it was available in different colors and I got it for around 15$ on amazon however I don't know if its still on sale for that price

I got my Seidio Active yesterday and love the case. It's light but still tough enough to protect the phone in case of a drop. It raises the camera and screen off whatever surface you lay it on and also covers volume/power buttons. Would highly recommend!

+1; I owned an HTC Inspire 4G before I left AT&T for Sprint, and I had a Casemate Tough Case on that, which I loved. Since Casemate didn't make that case for the Nexus S 4G, I settled on the Seidio, and fell in love with it. Now I have one on my Epic 4G Touch, and I couldn't be happier. I was worried about my phone not fitting in the universal adjustable dash mount I have, but it fits even with the case.

This case also comes with the holster option, right? If so, does anyone have the holster? I ordered the device and have been lookimg for a case to purchase.

I ordered Mine after I ordered My E4GT, Got My case in the mail 2 days after I got the phone, Love how it Protects my phone and actually doesn't add too much bulk plus it adds grip so the phones not slipping every which way. It was either this or the Surface, which I have had a bad experience with when I had my EVO 4G, lets just say I'm glad that the silicon won't scratch the phones case unlike the hard shell of the surface.
Loving it

I've always loved Seidio's stuff! I got an Active case and holster for my dad for an HTC that he's got, and finally tracked down one on eBay for $30 (used/unused - accidental purchase by original owner) for my Sammy. Just got it today, and while it seems like the rubber part might attract a little lint, I think I'm going to be very happy with my purchase.
