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?

I think he means the active...
So I just got another new case.
I got it from eBay seller augustonline for $3.89 w/ free shipping.

This is similar to the mesh snap-on case that others have posted about. It's a single piece that snaps on to the back of the phone. The material is hard plastic but it has a bit of a rubberized feel which provides just a little grip.
The fit is perfect. And, unlike the mesh case, it does not have the awkward cutout for the TV antenna that the Korean cases have.
As others have pointed out with this type of case, it does not provide full protection for all sides. I was also concerned about this, but found that it wraps around the edges just enough to protect the face of the phone. So, if you place it face-down the phone doesn't touch. Also, the corners are protected but the top and bottom are exposed.
It's a solid color with no branding so if you really like the Galaxy S logo, you won't be able to see it with this case.
All in all, this is a nice case and if you like this type of case, I would definitely recommend it. It fits well, has a nice clean look to it, and is less than $5. I think this will be my daily driver for a while (or until some positive reviews of the SGP Slider case start coming in).
Sweet as I was wondering whether the fit would be good or not, so thats good news
Can't wait for my orange one to get here!
Cool good to know it fits perfectly i ordered a green one of these almost two weeks ago i should be receiving it any day now
The case isn't bad for $4 (or the $8 I paid from a US seller), but don't expect it to hold up for very long. The rubberized texture is wearing off after less than a week.

I was just thinking about updating this post when I saw your reply. I noticed this morning that the rubberized coating is coming off on the corners of the case. It's not very noticeable at the moment, but I imagine it will start to peel off everywhere in the not so distant future.
For me the case is temporary until SGP gets their stuff together, but I don't think I would recommend this case to anyone that is looking for long-term protection.
that looks pretty gnarly. I have the snap on two piece case from T-Mobile. With the chrome bezel and rubbery back. Once I get bored of it I'll have to try that one.

Love this case so far. Especially with my custom logo! =D
There is no player on the warriors with the number 89. That's just the number I like personally.
I don't think this can be compared to mesh case. The quality of the korean mesh case is awesome. That is why it is like 20 bucks.

Or you could end up like me...
I was bringing my phone over to me from reaching over to get it from my back pocket, and a little slip happened and I ended up semi-tossing the phone on the ground. It was the one time I had taken the case off and well, you play with fire, you get burned.
I was wondering where it would be best to buy a hardcase for my new EVO (thank god for phone insurance), as well as screen protectors, and a charging cable (my other one has been subjected to lots of wear and tear and I have to bend it into mindboggling directions to get the phone to charge).
I'm try to go for at least bulk as possible but I still want some decent protection, any recommendations?
I bought the innocase rugged from Seido it has 180 degrww clip and a little bulky but great protection.
otterbox, ballistic and trident all seem to be the top cases for evo's.
personally, i currently recommend the trident cyclops.
sorry about your phone man.
I have had my phone since the IO conference... I haven't put anything on it... still haven't broken it
Jacka Slim Leather Cover?
I'm very happy with my Jacka slim leather cover.
Low profile slips easily in & out of my pocket & the front cover protects the screen.

I really like that case, where did you get it? I can only find it on ebay from a couple chinese sellers.
I personally went with a smoke colored tpu case from Luxmo. It serves hard case protection with a mix of gel case and almost not there feeling.

That's where I first spotted it but I ended up buying at Carry Mobile.

I'm guessing it's the same people as it shipped from Hong Kong, took almost 3 weeks.
I Have the Seidio Innocase II and holster. Just got my wife the active limited edition. One thing to watch out for with the holster is your side brushing up against something and unlatching the phone.(like your seat belt latch) Because of this, my evo took a three foot fall a few days ago. It landed on the corner and cartwheeled down my driveway. The only damage was a few scuffs on the case. This is my fourth phone with the seidio cases on them. I used to be a field service technician and I was really hard on my phones. Every phone I have had has taken several falls to concrete, dirt and rocks. I even cracked the seidio case that I had on my tour. I figured the case did its job and bought a new one. I know a lot of people like the otterbox and other cases, but I really like the seidio holster set up. Im thinking about stepping up to the extended rugged case if I get the extended battery. Don't like the idea of losing the kickstand though.

catseyenu,
how does the flip cover on the Jacka model stay shut? I see a little lip on top that acts as a fastener. Does it work well? If the phone were to fall out of my hands, I would want the flap to stay shut.

The leather is encasing a thin rigid (plastic?) frame that adds tension to the clasp.
I've had it about a month and it's worked well so far, the only concern I have is if the leather bands at the bottom stretch out it could become loose.
If that occurs I know a good boot maker that can fix it for me.
I have been using these on my Galaxy S2 and Tab. I didn't like the idea when I was browsing for a new case on Ebay, but when I got it, I soon changed my mind!
If anyone finds anything like it then please post on this thread!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gel-TPU-C..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item43a90b8802
looks like a great idea....but i think i would prefer if the clear stand part be black or grey in colour instead
They come in many different colours and styles. And with stand / without stand
I found something very similar (or identical):
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/522134318/S_Line_Crystal_Plastic_TPU_Protector.html
There are other variants on alibaba, the only problem is that the minimum quantity is usually 50-100 pieces :-/
EDIT: found it on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HYBRI...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item48436c47a9
I bought one before seeing this thread.
When I receive it, I'll tell you if its good/bad etc
when i find something good
，will let you know
I searched on ebay for "galaxy note kickstand case TPU" and got a result:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HYBRI...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item48436c47a9
I eneded up ordering for around $8 the kickstand case with included car charger and 3 screen protectors. Will reply here with a review here once I get it.
I bought one of these too. I figure you can't go wrong for $5.

For $8 I got a car charger, 3 screen protectors and the case.
The case:
Black TPU and Grey Silicon.
Kickstand is Silicon and a part of the case's mainframe.
The Kickstand works well.
The TPU is knife-proof and tamper proof, but dont drop it from a 2.5+ metre height.
The TPU has textured sides which help with grip A LOT.
All the holes and ports (pen) are easily accessible.
The buttons are covered but NOT hard to press.
Whole case is quite thin, so its not very "drop proof" but very resistant to heat and cuts.
Did I say it is thin, so it still fits in my pockets easily.
Verdict: 9/10
This has replaced my Carbon Fibre case (which was protective). This case is a MUST HAVE for any NOTE owners.
Sidenote: I also bought the GPS holder ($6) from the same seller "telegaming", it is also a high quality piece.
Hi all,
Just wanted to post for everyone that even though otterbox website says that the leather backed G4 won't fit in the defender case. The fit is snug, but it fits. Couple pictures below of proof.
If you have any questions feel free to ask
How snug are we talking? Any chance of scuffing or otherwise damaging the leather? I returned mine when I opened the box and saw the label that it wasn't for the leather G4.
scuffing no, i don't think so. its just a tight fit with the plastic shell that clips together. i think the stitching on the leather back just makes it a bit more snug than the non leather, so they prob just don't want people saying that it doesn't fit...just my guess, but it will fit, long term i don't know

Thanks for the Pictures glad I ordered on as well. Was going to take the chance on it figured it could and would most likely work. Bought it Friday on Ebay and seller didn't ship til Monday so I might have it in the next 48hours hopefully. I'll probably end up taking off the Defender plastic screen protector for the Temper Glass I have coming in. I will see how both are when used at same time but I didn't like the plastic feel on my Note 2 Defender.

Just wanted to update I got my Defender is in and it does fit the Leather back just like eliteconcept showed and said it is a snug fit. I already put the Skinomi Temper Glass on the G4. It is a very snug fit where I couldn't get the last snap to click on the shell with the Leather back and the Temper Glass but once you put the rubber casing on you wouldn't know. I do not like the Otterbox Defenders Plastic Screen protector never did so I took it off and tried and was able to get all 6 snap connections still a tight fit but it's fine. Plus once together I really don't every take it apart just to clean once in awhile. I'm fine with this setup. I probarly will buy a plastic back still in the future when they start the flood the net but works fine for now and save the leather back when the phone goes naked with out a case.
