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

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?

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.
So I'm that type of person who has a case for every day of the week. Lol
I have here in order from left to right on the picture
Case logic pouch (For Android/Windows Phones is what it said on the packaging)
Otterbox Defender
Otterbox Commuter
Generic Black TPU Case from ebay
Generic blue hard snap on case.
The leather pouch is awesome! It fits the phone naked or with any of my cases with the exception of the otterbox defender. I had a Seidio spring loaded holster for use with the Captivate+Innocase and it had a very snug fit for the Atrix+any of the other cases aside from the Defender.
The defender is actually really nice on this phone! I had it on the Captivate and it was wayyy to bulky and it made it extremely frustrating whenever you tried to touch the capacitive buttons on the bottom. With the Atrix, it doesn't add too much bulk and I can feel safe whenever I have it on my phone. I usually use this one when I know I'm going somewhere where they'll be potential damage to my phone like the beach.
The commuter is my personal favorite case! It looks real nice with the fancy design on the back. It doesn't add too much bulk, but does add a good ammount of protection. I find it strange that all the Captivate otterbox cases make the phone twice as big, but that's not the same case for the Atrix. It's even stranger that a naked Atrix is bulkier than a naked Captivate.
The generic black TPU is also pretty nice. It doesn't add much bulk at all, but TPU usually offers good protection. Mine specifically has that stupid common Argyle pattern, but it's in the inside so it's not shown on the back of my phone! The only problem I have with this case is the fact that it attracts fingerprints like no tomorrow.
The generic blue snap on case was an impulse buy when I got my phone. I just wanted to make sure it was protected out of the box. I don't really like this case too much as I'm not a big fan of hard cases to begin with.
I'm still waiting on the Candyshell, and other cases to come out. I'll update asap!
If anyone has any detailed questions about any of the cases, let me know!!!

I dont feel like a loner anymore lol! I've always been obsessed with cases. I have the OBD, OBC, Feather, Bodyglove and the Candyshell. Caint wait for Sedio to release a Active X or Rugged. I'm also hoping for some case-mates soon? Request? http://support.case-mate.com/index.php?pg=request
I'm waiting on the seidio active x with holster! I loved the seidio holster I had for my captivate! It works pretty well still with certain atrix cases, but I ended up giving it away. Lol
Not the biggest case mate fan but ill submit a request and well see ;Db

You are not alone I couldn't decide btwn the defender or commuter so I got both to test out in person. I ended up liking.g the commuter mainly BC I had trouble plugging in some headphone jack devices because the defender is slightly bulkier

I just ordered the black tpu with the argyle pattern on the inside off Amazon. I have a question for you, the buttons for volume look molded in, how hard is it to push the buttons with the case on?
How much bulk does the commuter add? I'm thinking of picking it up but I don't want it to be fat
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I didn't find it harder to press at all with the tpu case. Then again that might just be me not paying full attention to it. I'm not very picky... lol
The commuter does add a bit of bulk, but I don't think its bad at all especially for the ammount of protection it adds. I do also really dig the design on the back! I heard that it won't fit with any docks though to give you an idea. I was able to dock my phone with the TPU case though.

That was my biggest concern because I didnt really want a case but didn't want a broken phone. So I got the commuter and love that it doesn't make it that much bigger but makes it feel a ton safer.

I just got the TPU case... dropped it from my lap getting out of the car in a parking garage.. unscathed. great case.. doesnt look as fancy as others but it does the job and its a pretty good price.
yeah, i bought a few of those snap on hard cases just for the sake of protection, however, they are a ***** to get off! And i use my vehicle dock often, so thats a no go. I bought a clear skin (like a zaag), and havent looked back since. It actually makes the back of the phone shinny and the CF weave pattern really POP...looks more like real CF
After checked a cpl of cases for my new Atrix, I found one in HK and its dirt cheap too ($6!!). Dual material PC + TPU with transparent back, flame, scratch resistant, very light and thin, washable too. The fact I disliked about otterbox and similar heavy armed cases (aside of being very bulky) is a lack of heat dissipation.
My suggestion goes for Momax iCasePro:

Top notch.

Helpful post, I got the commuter, it's pretty good
never really saw the need for a case it makes a good phone look ugly and doesnt really protect i prefer invisible shields

Question for anyone that does not mind answering. I currently have the otterbox defender which I have to say I enjoy having it while I am out running around etc. Like that feeling of safety with the "hefty" case since I have large hands does not bother me to much. BUT, I was thinking of getting another case to use just around the house and thinking about the feather case or something small and minimal. I tend to set my phone face down most of the time. Any suggestions? also to expound upon that if anyone else has tried or done this before if I did that i would look into getting a adhesive screen protector. If I did that would it work with the otterbox defender and its built in screen protector would I maybe have to cut that out? Which I am not totally opposed to just seems almost like a waste. I know gorilla glass is tough stuff I am just the meticulous kind of person that if i saw the scratch on my screen I would not be able to let it go and it would drive me crazy.
Ryan,
I would suggest either the otterbox commuter (still kinda bulky, but not as bad as the defender), or the body glove mirage (nice and thin).
As far as the screen protector, I've used the matte/anti glare from att with the defender. I do kinda notice its not as responsive when I'm typing and etc, but thar might just be a mental thing.

Does anyone know of a case like the gear4 for iphone?
http://www.amazon.com/Gear4-Iphone-...PM/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1306965457&sr=8-17
My friend has one for his iphone and its so thin its hard to tell there even a case on it. It slips in and out of pockets with ease. No bulk at all.
whats the point of having such a thin case? it wont protect it much at all
Im not looking for it to protect it from dropping it, but more from scratches from putting it down on tables and bars and things like that. Right not i have a thin silicone case that will fall off if the wind blows to hard lol.
The case-mate barely there case is your best bet. I have one and I love it. It won't provide much protection from a drop but it's great for tossing the phone onto a table or desk.

Seconded. Not much drop protection, but thin and no scratches. I love mine, but I don't love how it doesn't cover the top and bottom of the phone.
Casemate...there is also a no name brand knockoff of the casemate on amazon. Just search for thunderbolt cases and look for a 1 piece snap on. There are not many to pick from.
I like to have a pouch case for my thunderbolt so I can still easily use my car dock. This one from Sena cases is awesome

The only one that comes close is made by LUXMO and is available on eBay.
I've bought a couple of these. Fits really well, though I don't know how thin it is compared to "gear4". But the mix of clear plastic and black TPU trim feels great.
I bought a smoke black argyl case off eBay for $5.99 and love it. Does not add much bulk at all and makes holdingnthe device slot better and also makes the buttons easier to push aswell.

Bought a case matte barely there, its perfect awesome case! no bluk slips in and out of my pockets with ease. very good choice.
Check out the cheap S-Line cases on eBay. I can't imagine a case getting much thinner than this. Plus, it's only ~$5-10, shipped. If you don't like it (yet to hear anybody not like it), then go get a more expensive one. But really, this is THE case to get if you want something different than the uber-protective cases.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067656
i got the s case. its pretty sick. decent protection. only thing is sometimes stuff gets in the case and you can see it through the transparent part.
I have the S-Line and Seido Innocase II Surface Case. The S-line is nice for the money, but to me it feels cheap. There's also no real size difference in the 2. The Sedio case is harder to take off at first, but once you get used to it it's super easy. I love my Seido case, but I would be ok if I only had the S-Line.
Also, to me nothing feels better than the naked phone. I'm too afraid to scratch or drop it though.
Here's some picture comparisons
I had one like that for my fascinate. I think vzw is calling it a "fusion" case.
I have the case-mate barley there case. I love the thing. Does exactly what i want it to do, protect the phone from getting scratched and dinged up while in my pocket.

Dude... This case is perfect. Thanks for the heads up!
It added better grip and it feels like a better phone all around.
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.

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

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.
