Innocase Extended Rugged For Htc Evo Now Shipping

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd4-hkr5hev4x.htm
I just ordered one. 50 bucks is kinda pricey but I don't want to end up with my phone broken because I have no insurance.
Better order one quick before they run out!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Just ordered mine. Was really bummed about not being able to get the Defender but loving the 3500 battery. Funny how they wait till Otterbox releases the Defender to finally release their rugged add on. Can't get me to believe that they just finished design & production, the phone has been our since June.
Sent from my new BFF...Evo 4G that is!

the only problem is having to take everything off to charge the extended batt. from what i have seen here, the evo wont charge these extended batt compleatly. so you have to charge them externaly.

anyone receive this yet have any comments about the case? im deciding whether or not to purchase this, or sacrifice my extended battery for the otterbox defender
! I HATE THIS PREDICAMENT! :/

yes please!!!! im going back to my stock battery trying to see if the battery life is "doable" for me right now.... otterbox defender case looks SO MUCH MORE SEXIER than the seidio rugged.. even though seidio has it for the extended battery. i jsut dont want it to breakdown like the original seidio rugged cases... -_-
if i go otterbox then that means i have 2 seidio plus wall charger on sale soon! XD

Mine gets delivered today. Since I won't risk using my EVO without it once it's here, it will be hard to be completely impartial, but I'll give my thoughts once I have it.

I have mine and I'm on the fence about it cause it is a little bigger then just the extended I have . I like the extended i was using but did not like the fact it would scratch the sides of phone when taking on and off .not having top and bottom protection was not a big deal but It did make me feel less secure about using the phone .
Now the extended rugged is nice not sure how I feel about it yet but it looks a lot more beefy and the fact I can use it as a weapon to hit somebody or throw it at some poor soul knock him out then pick it up and use it is cool ..but I'll put it on and see how well it fits in pocket and feels in hand ..
One of my favorites is still the otterbox commuter with sedio 1750 love the looks love the feel it's just nice ..
Now I have never done reviews but if you guys like I can take some pics or side by sides just let me know and I'd be happy to help you make your choice if you are still on fence
Sorry for long post maybe bad grammar and poor punctuation but Hey you can read it (painful or not )

I just got my Extended Rugged combo today this morning. I will post pics after I work. It feels really sturdy. Definitely a brick now. I'm sure it would survive a drop easily. Sadly the kickstand is gone tho.

It takes awhile to put it on and take it off considering its bad to charge the battery in the phone. The rubber attracts dust. The headphone and the charge port are covered with the rubber case as a flap. It feels really sturdy, And once on the device it feels like a tank. It isn't as thick as it looks in the pictures feels nice in the hand and in my pockets ( I wear carpenter jeans a lot ). I don't have to worry about breaking the phone any more. Everything is well packaged and for 50 bucks you even get a holster with it. Everything fits together nicely and the buttons are still really easy to push. I never have had problems with the buttons once even tho in the pictures it looks like they aren't there. It is worth the 50 bucks tho, or 30 if you already have the innocase extended. This is the short review though, It will definitely hold up.

Looks very nice tracking says I'll get mine tomorrow now I'll finally have my phone protected at work and a holster I'm excited been waiting on this for awhile figured of wait for combo instead of just the extended

Let me know how it turns out bro, I'm sure the battery is most helpful use of all.

I love this case comes with extended holster for just using extended case and rugged holster with rugged case rugged case is very sturdy and feels very nice in hand I'm not concerned about dropping my evo anymore
the only complaint I might have is when u try to type far keys next to edge you hit case but on rare occasions
Overall definitely worth the wait plus integration with my seidio car dock using ext case is pure icing on the cake
The only reason I won't upgrade this phone is cause the sheer amount of accessories I bought to get it perfect and I'll wait till it dies
Once again thanks seidio for making best sturdy sexy looking accessories ever

This looks like a major problem to me. Does anyone that hasthis case use one of the "slide style" keyboards? I use one and i'm worried I wont be able to "slide" over and hit the P or the Q. Can someone please let me know if this is true or not.
Also I have another question. Does that big beefy belt clip hold securely on a dress/casual type of belt or does it flop around? A friend of mine had the regular rugged case and he hated the holster because it wouldn't grab onto his regular sized belt it would flop around.

Skip buying a case and replace battery cover?

I guess this mostly apply to people who are planning to buy a thin case that doesn't provide anything more than scratch protection. I fall into this category and was planning to wait for Zagg to get a invisible shield product out, but as I was putting the battery in for the first time I realized...
why don't I just replace the plastic cover when it gets too scratched or when I want to sell the phone? I'm sure the genuine covers will start showing up on ebay soon enough.
Forgive me if this is a duh thing and has been generally dismissed... I came from an iPhone...
Thoughts?

There are rubberized back covers now on the internet, and they are, in my opinion alot better than a case because you keep that thin feeling and have a rubbery touch to it..

Find me a link I was looking on ebay and couldn't find one. Thanks

Here's what I found. Not ebay, but anyway.
Look on mobilecityonline dot com for product #27649 "Motorola Rugged Battery Cover"
I'm too new to post a link.

I'd do this, but I like a case that has a 1-2mm lip around the display. That way your screen stands a better chance of not cracking if it falls face-down or front edge down. I wish I could get a slider like the Seidio Innocase II I had for my N1. I'd dropped that a bunch of times and the phone doesn't have any scars for it. I have the Speck case for now, but I'll ditch it once something thinner like the Innocase shows up.

first company to release a soft touch back cover replacement with kickstand gets my money!

Best Skins Ever FTW
On every device I've owned I've always had a best skins ever. The texture and quality is better than any others I have tried. Every skin I've ever had covers every part of the phone and they have all lasted until I replaced the phone. Very durable. I've ordered mine for the Atrix and should have it shortly. I can post pics when I put it on but in the mean time here is a link and a couple examples of a bestskinsever on my Nexus.

Yes, please show us some pics, and keep it weird up there

I've never really been a big fan of skins.... be it ZAGG Invisible Shield or anything similar. They just feel odd to me. I actually purchased a cheap TPU case for my Atrix, and like it quite a lot.
As for PowerMat which someone mentioned, i sent them an e-mail about a week ago, and recieved the usual expected canned response... they don't have a battery door right now, but the PowerCube would work. Really do hope they make a battery door replacement.... might be worth getting.

Yeah, I would love an Atrix powermat backcover. I was going to buy a standard dock but maybe I'll wait for a bit.

Anyone know why these are being discontinued everywhere?...

Probably because they were never technically released by Motorola. If you read reviews of the ones that some people have gotten a hold of, even the overall feel of the cases seem to differ even depending on what color they picked.

It's not a bad cover....not great either. But it is the only one that will allow it to fit into the vehicle dock without modification. I ordered it from a place in Canada, it shipped from Hong Kong. Took about a month to get to me. The edges are kinda flimsy, especially around the usb/hdmi dock area. And the lip doesn't stay "lipped" around the edge of the display very well. I think I'll just go back to my OtterBox Impact. I spend less time taking it off and putting it back on, than I do with constantly adjusting the ruggedized cover.

What a shame that its coming out now, about 2 weeks until the EVO is dead (to me anyways). As someone who sells cases, I have no idea what takes these companies ::cough:: otterbox ::cough:: so long to bring these products to market. Dummy phones are available months prior to release in most cases. Extended battery cases I can understand taking longer but almost a year? No. I would of bought one of these 6 months ago. If I order now it probably won't be here until I get the Evo 3D anyways.
edit: holy crap. think they are charging enough for this? considering the only part I need is the rear section (I have the front piece and silicone from my cyclops and a battery) no way would I spend that on this.

Yea +1 on the timing point. they are actually suppose to create an option to buy just the backing for those that purchased a cyclops. But question how is the silicon on the cyclops is it always coming off like some people say ?

Hello
I just get an extended battery for my iphone from the web.

I agree the timing stinks but I think this one is a better option than the powerskin. You can actually see the kickstand with this one.

Amen to this comment.
As an owner of the powerskin (VERY FLAWED DESIGN, read my review on this site) and this Trident case, the Trident so far is the winner.
I received the Trident (although to the wrong address than indicated) yesterday. I was luckily home to collect it. I put the cover/battery combination on the Evo and charged it up. I'm not sure how many recharge cycles it's meant to go through before it stays charged, but so far, after one night on the wall charger, it kept a charge for one subway trip from home to work (about 35 minutes) at about 90%. So, pretty much discharged 10% in 35 minutes. I think this may be due to the newness of the battery, however, I would have expected better from the size of the battery (purported) by the company.
I'll post a more thorough review after about a week of use.

I can't comment on the seidio thing, stopped buying their defective products years ago. I'd check the dimensions of this case against the dimensions of the seidio extended battery.
the case itself is a two-part clip on:
Back part is see through (got the icy version), clips on to the front part which has a screen protector already as part of the front.
The entire thing is wrapped in a separate rubber covering that you put on after snapping the case together. The thing itself feels very nice. I don't know about the battery life, will figure it out after a few days or week's use.
The bottom part has a flip-open cover for the battery cable and other inputs.
all the buttons are accessible because adding the plastic snap on makes everything a bit recessed, these guys thought of that as well. It is a nice touch.
All-in-all, the case is very strong. I'm not at all worried about the device dinging up.

If possible could anybody that gets one of these let us know if it will fit in any of the hip holsters? I have a holster that got with my innocase extended combo and I have another holster that came with one of the ebay cheapo specials.

okay that does sound goood i shall check it up against the specs. one more question i keep hearing ppl with the cyclops saying the the rubber ring that protects the sides of the cases comes off and on when pulling out of your pocket true or false ? and how much bulk does this case actually add from the pictures it looks kind of sliming. But, i personally cant trust pictures after the deception of the powerskin.

Once again, I think this case is a thinker version of the Cyclops which I have. Great case and VERY secure but not too pocket friendly. The stickiness of the silicone bumper makes it annoying to slide in and out of tight places. But in all honestly, this case is pretty freaking sweet. The upgraded screen protector is much nicer and I believe all the cases come with an extended audio jack since it is now recessed because of the case. If I were in the market I would definitely buy the Electra!

I have this one and the original. The rubber thing has never came off, in fact it is hard to take it off. The case is wonderful and only a tad bigger than its original. The battery is good as its been up over 60 hours and awake for 12 hours with no mods.

Vipertech Premium Leather Slim Case on amazon for $14.99 shipped!

Just a heads up- looks like many of the other cases reviewed here but this one is only $10 shipped. I just ordered one; I'll review it when it arrives. 9 5-star reviews!
*Edit: looks like it's up to $15. Still, appears to be the same as the pyro case and a few others that sell for twice that.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...-options=see-all-buying-options&condition=new

Wow, that looks almost exactly like the Pyro skin clip case that I just bought for $30 bucks. It's listed on amazon for $14.95+shipping now. How did you get it for $10 shipped? If the quality and build is anything like the pyro, I'd be intrigued

looks like they upped it. It was $9.98 when I posted.
I think that the pyro case (and several others) are the same rebranded chinese thing. I really don't care, all I want is to pay less for it. At $15, it still beats most of the others by at least a few bucks. I'll review it when it gets here.
BTW- I'll update the OP with the price.

I bought this case from amazon for 9.98 shipped and received it in two days! They apparently had a promotion going because they refunded my money and let me keep the case for free in exchange for a review. Great case, great build quality and looks great!

This is the 3rd variation of the same case. I think it's all the same manufacturer just different distributors. I'm in!

Just got mine for 9.98 great quality and got it for free after I left them a review.

I don't know how everybody is giving this case such great reviews. Sure, it's cheap and does its job, but the quality is definetely not there. I got mine yesterday and the clips on the top seem somewhat uneven between each corner. Also, the case does not stay fully flat when holding the tablet opened in your hands. That's quite annoying and makes it basically unusable to me. The case also seems to bulge when closed due to the middle clamps holding the tablet; which, by the way, cover a bit of the bottom portion of each speaker.
For the price, I'd give this case 4 stars, but 5 stars is just too much. People are easily satisfied I suppose.

Look, I don't disagree that it's not perfect, but after owning many, many different cases for many different tablets, I have to say that this one is about as good as it gets for the price. The only cases I've seen that are better quality cost $50 or more. Maybe you got one that is defective; for the price that wouldn't surprise me. Get them to replace it. Also, please don't dismiss those of us that are happy with the case with "People are easily satisfied I suppose." That's rude.
BTW- I tried to figure out what you were talking about when you said "the case does not stay fully flat when holding the tablet opened in your hands" and realized the problem: you're not holding it tight enough. It's new material and needs to be conditioned. Squeeze it a bunch of times to loosen and crease the bottom edge.

I'll try to conditition it when I get home. Do you also notice a bulge when closing it from the middle clips?

Yes. I have a clearprotector full body protector and it fits fine. So far no problem with it catching when I open and close the flap.
BTW- I think this is exactly the same case as the "pyro case" which has a huge thread here. Except much less expensive...

Please be honest guys, does your case stay flush when opening it 360 degrees without pushing it against its back? I find this highly annoying. I've been trying to break the leather all day and have had no success!
Also, anyone else here find that the locking flap marked their tablet over time? I'd hate for that to happen.
Thanks in advance...

I received my case with a note that said if I left a 5-star review I would be given a full refund, thus getting my case for free. I'm assuming that's why it's getting so many 5-star reviews.

My case doesn't stay flush (if you mean folding it completely back like a magazine?) but neither did my belkin ultra thin folio. I believe its because of the design. The only way I can see it staying flush is if the material used was very pliable or there was a hinge (kind of like a notebook with rings).
Also, I too felt that it might scratch my tab with the front clip, but so far it hasnt. Overall, its a good case and in some aspects better than the belkin ultra thin folio.

Yeah, it's growing on me. I do wish it stayed more fluch when fully opened. I feel they could have made the flap holding both parts together a bit longer to allow that to happen.
I'm going barenaked with the tablet on this thing. I really hope it doesn't scratch the edges of my tablet. I have been puyshing the locking flap a bit outward so there's not much resistance to close it. Seems to help a bit.

What on earth would make this case incompatible with the verizon version of the tab? Something in the case blocking the 4g signal?

My TPU Fusion Review

So I ended up wanting a MT4G case and came across this site through a friend who bought a similar case from ambitronic.com.
Wondering whether to get the TPU Fusion Case? Look no further!
Shipping:
The product came relatively fast. When I got my final order, all they allowed was first class shipping, but it was only about $3. I ordered my product on Saturday, was notified that it shipped out on Sunday, and it came on Tuesday afternoon.
The website said that it was "delivered" on Monday when I checked, but when I went to check the UPS tracking number it just said sorted. So if you're wondering why the case hasn't come, check the UPS site and be patient, it's worth it!
Pricing/Value:
This is where the product shines. The case was only $3.40, and I bought a $0.95 screen protector with it. I also used a promotional code that docked off 10%. Unfortunately, shipping was $2.95 (still not that bad for first-class), so my total came out to be $6.87.
The Product(s):
I bought two things:
The Black TPU Fusion Case, and
a MT4G Screen Protector
The case itself is pretty good. All the holes are in the right places, and it fits really well. It does not add any noticeable bulk, and although it was somewhat difficult to get it on my MT4G in the beginning, it gets easier as time goes. The side grips are really nice (they're textured for easier grip), and I have 99% confidence that I won't break my phone as long as I have this case (the other 1% is if I keep it in the washing machine ). I had an issue with the power button being too hard to press at the outset, but as time went by, the issue got better and it's much easier to hit the power button.
Note: The TPU Fusion cases for this product only come in Black (+$0.45), Clear (+$0.45), and Red. I got the black one, and it looks really sleek on my black MT4G.
Now, the screen protector on the other hand was not useful at all. The product said that it would come with a soft card, but it did not. The thing also did not come with any instructions, so I ended up having to check how to install it on XDA. After cleaning the glass screen with the microfiber cloth and applying the screen protector, there were too many air bubbles, and I realized that the screen protector collected dust quite easily. I ended up having to trash it.
Overall:
4.75/5
Great product, great company.
-0.15 for the worthless screen protector
-0.10 for only 1 shipping option (shipping ended up being about 45% of the cost, but it was relatively cheap, so I can't complain too much).
Get it here.

So I shot them an email, and here's what I got:
Hi, thank you for your honest opinion on our product and service. Your support is really important to us. We have just issued you $0.8 credit (Rounded it up) via paypal.
Regarding the screen protector issue, it used to include a soft card inside the package but it seems our supplier did not include it in this shipment. We have removed the word "soft card" from our description to avoid being misleading.
If you did not get another screen protector for the Mytouch 4g yet, we would like to re-send you the screen protector for free. Hopefully, this time it can do its job. Please let us know and have a good night!
Sincerely,
Dale

+1 this is a good case for the money. My only issue was had to enlarge the hole for the charging micro usb port, for use with my charger.

So I ended up wanting a MT4G case and came across this site through a friend who bought a similar case from ambitronic.com.
Wondering whether to get the TPU Fusion Case? Look no further!
Shipping:
The product came relatively fast. When I got my final order, all they allowed was first class shipping, but it was only about $3. I ordered my product on Saturday, was notified that it shipped out on Sunday, and it came on Tuesday afternoon.
The website said that it was "delivered" on Monday when I checked, but when I went to check the UPS tracking number it just said sorted. So if you're wondering why the case hasn't come, check the UPS site and be patient, it's worth it!
Pricing/Value:
This is where the product shines. The case was only $3.40, and I bought a $0.95 screen protector with it. I also used a promotional code that docked off 10%. Unfortunately, shipping was $2.95 (still not that bad for first-class), so my total came out to be $6.87.
The Product(s):
I bought two things:

This review made me buy one ... good job

Lol, made me buy one also. I also read the extended battery thread and that made me buy one before I read this. Now I don't know which to put on unless I cut the case to fit the battery.

Dam impulse buys LOL

Exactly. I may just cut the TPU case to fit the battery.

I did not like this case. I found it to added far too bulk to the phone.
However....I cut the top off of it and hot glued the case to the armrest in my car. (It looks clean I swear!) So now I have a great holder that my phone slides in and out of easily that keeps it nice and secure where I can see the screen to know who's calling before answering on the bluetooth.
It's a GREAT phoen case for this purpose. And I'm thrilled with my purchase.

I got a TPU Fusion case when I got my phone. I'm pretty pleased with it overall. The grips on the sides make the phone feel much more secure in my hand.

Thank you for your support. It is good to see people like this TPU Fusion design.

I bought a similar tpu, but the hole where u charge the phone was too little and cause of that i couldnt charge it well so i decided to throw it away
