It will do the job! I have yet to drop a phone when it's in an otterbox. Now take it out and I swear I wind up dropping it, then kicking it across the floor. I just want to be able to keep it on my side. I plan on getting a siedo case later. If this holds up, may not need to.

37.50 after 25% off otterbox case let me know how many bounces u got out of case.
I thought about doing that but money tight a couple good drops and case toast

Actually I did the cut out on that same tpu cover you got. The case is still pretty sturdy. Waste high drop no problem. The rubber is taking the beating. All what you prefer though. And if ya mess up otterbox will send you a new one if you tell them the clips holding it together broke. Just s suggestion though.

nice ingenuity. you could have heated the edges of the plastic and pressed the cover over the battery to keep the strength and protection too.

Just so everyone knows! I just drop kicked my tb across the room cuz I couldn't make a call! Still works like new. Service went down and I thought my tb took a dump. I love this phone!!!
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Uh you could all save yourself alot of time and money and just get the Trident Electra case. I have literally drop kicked my phone just to show a friend of mine how good this case is. And it comes with an extended battery so you will have another.
Just curious....what did you use to cut them? I'm thinking of using a coping saw, but wish I still had my dremel.
Ah I heated up a flat blade screwdriver with a bic lighter soldering iron I had was not heating up
Then I cut the screwed up plastic slag with side cutters

Another thread here, talks about this case scratching the phone, specifically the outer metal frame.
see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129485
I've used it for months now and i have no scratches, its lined with felt stuff, so unless you rub sand in there, i don't think it can scratch it...
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
I'm REALLLLLLY looking into getting this case for my G2x... Only thing that worries me is scratches. If I get it, I might end up modifying the inside of the case. Maybe make it more impact resistant?
Anyone try this case n holster out?
Thanks

Does it stay tight in the holster I noticed there isn't really a Clip or anything to lock the phone into the holster like on an otterbox one... I detail cars and am constantly moving and bending in weird positions and if I bump it don't want it flying out.
Thanks

Stays perfectly still. Its a very firm fit and the bottom lip helps keep it from being accidentally pushed out. I have yet to have it pushed out of the holster.

Hello,
I have an HTC inspire 4g. I have an otterbox defender on it and love it. But the phone is getting to where it needs a cold reboot every once in a while. And the otterbox isn't ideal for taking on and off. So I was wandering if anyone knew if there was a case I could that protected the outer rim around the camera lense but wasn't just a back cover that left the front exposed and unprotected.

I've been using a silicon case for over a year, and it's working fine for me. I spent 15 dollars at an accessory at the mall. I never put my phone in high risk situations and have only dropped it a few times
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
Do you know the brand name of the case?
Sent from my AT100 using XDA Premium HD app
Sorry no it's just a generic off brand
I wouldn't think it would be that hard to find on you like. I always have the best luck with authorized retailers the have better cheaper cases than the factory stores.

Oh that's cool. I think we have the same battery cover. I have lime green on currently from the 6 pack on Amazon. My fre back is clear too so similar concept.

Looks nice. I assume the clear plastic doesn't have the matte finish of the colored UAGs, which will make the case a little bit slipperier.
The interior back doesn't have a layer of shock-absorbing rubber. I wonder if the case will be thinner as a result.

Color is true to the Amazon color. IPod touch camera sucks. Snaps on flush and perfect with no issues and same clearance as official battery cover.

Finally got it in! Awesome case! I got a blue battery cover too. Will take pics of that also. Only downside is that this case is so much harder to get on/off. The black long sides do not flex as much as my black uag case but that's not a biggie for me cause it looks awesome and is protected like all other uag cases!

Is the clear plastic smooth or textured? I wish it didn't have the honeycomb design.

Smooth from the outside. Honeycomb is inside for shock absorption. I like the Honeycomb!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
the honeycomb gives a reptile/crocodile skin type of look that probably won't go well with a brushed aluminum or carbon fiber battery cover. plus it makes the case look hazy/frosted in certain angles. thanks for posting pics of it. :good:

Anyone tried this yet? I'm currently using the UAG navigator case but have been thinking about switching to this.
Just ordered one from thecellguru.com for 28.00. Thought I'd give it a try.

Just received my Every1 case. Here's my take on it so far.
Pros : Feels good in hand and protects the phone very well.
Cons : Hate the built in screen protector. It's far from clear. It gives it an unsharp view of your screen. Almost holographic. Built in kickstand pops off easy but thankfully it snaps back in.
The belt clip is heavy duty but swivel is located closer to top unlike the otter box which is located in the middle. This is awkward when setting it horizontal with your belt.
Due to the way it's made I'm not sure if removing the built in screen protector would be an option. Back of case is high gloss and possibly would scratch easy over time.
