So i might as well ask here. I am looking for the best possible case for the epic...I am tired of not having one and dropping it. So please let me know some ideas? i am currently looking at the seidio one. Give me some opinions please.
I have been using the otterbox commuter case for months and love it. thing is a beast.
yeah...cant beat the otterbox commuter. i had the bb version of the seido case. it was a piece of ****. the front wouldnt stay clamped, plastic started to peel and show serious signs of wear after only 4 months, and i still managed to shatter my screen. wife had a seido on her evo and it was **** too. you can grab the commuter on amazon for $24 if im not mistaken. worth every penny.

no harm just humor
you laughed its ok
"ur my boy blue"
just a quick update for the anyone who is curious..the inocase holster does not fit the otterbox. its too tall
Case
I bought a leather carrying case for my Epic with Otterbox commuter series, but it is too small. I bought 2 at a flea market and the last one through Ebay which states that it is for an Epic with Otterbox. It is so tight that I have to grab the Epic on the screen and the back of the case to pull it out. Now there are black marks on the screen and I don't think it is just the Zagg screen protector.
iam going to have to down grade and get the seidio case
Just got blue activeX by seidio. Great cover.
Between the Innocase Active X and the otterbox commuter...which provides the greatest protection?

The case is very good.
Im considering this
This is my first case for my SR. I have bought several cases since but keep coming back to the pop case. I just love it. Wished it had a kick stand. The Active Seidio is my second fav. Both are rugged but the pop case looks 'cleaner' to me.

Yes. I agree this case is very good. I was looking for something extremely thin hence its on sale.
I ended up buying this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007NZWBX4

I hope it works well for you. It looks like one of those silicone versions which I had two of. The problem with those (silicone) are after awhile, they tend to get loose and sag a bit. I got frustrated. Eventually I went back to the pop case. Overall, my preference is just hard cases I think. Again, I hope this case works out for you.
I'll take the case if you still have it

This one is much better quality than the $2 silicone cases we see on ebay. I agree that I am taking a chance with the silicon case. It offers zero protection against a fall, but it fits nicely in Belkin GPS Dash mount I have. I use this phone for GPS.

The diztronic case you got is actually pretty good. My friend has 1 on his atrix2 and it's holding up pretty well. I was actually thinking about getting that exact same case. I have a white sr and think that case would be perfect. Using a seidio surface case now and I think that case will work with the seidio holster...
i have one of these, its great and comfortable to hold in your hand.

Also the material is different. It does not "stick" in the pocket like other case. The grip is different.
Can't wait to try it out!

Hey i was thinking as no bumpers are available
can we make a bumper out of tpu case by cutting it?
don't want to hide that awesome sparkly effect of nexus 4
what say any tried that out
Tried it and it works to a point but unless you cut it precisely or with a machine it won't come out right I used one of the clear S line series and had a lot of miscuts o well

If you're considering a TPU bumper, then might as well get a Poetic Bumper, as that is what it is. Their Poetic Atmosphere is a clear TPU with "bumper" material in the right places, as another option.
Did it as well, the sides are a bit too lose if you want a true bumper. Cut it more like a poetic and it may be fine but I regret doing it for what it matters.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
so you guys say that it is better to have more thick and cut less so the tpu material can withstand the forces?
Has a s-line case. Got a second free from poetic. I made it into a bumper. It looks horrible .... Would not recommend unless you have an extra FREE case lying around.

It has a textured finish, it adds a lot of grip on the inside of the case.
It's smooth like a usual TPU case on the outside

On the inside? Hmmmm okay
The inside is textured so that you don't get the air bubbling effect that you would on some cases that have smooth TPU on the inside surface - it has nothing to do with 'grip'.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Looks like it's cut pretty well. Any reason why you went with the clear over the black armored one? I ordered a Quite Black Pixel, so I'm trying to determine if I should get a crystal or a black one, haha.

Cheers, didn't even think of that lol
My mind just went to the word grip, because it feels very grippy LOL

No worries! They are great cases in my opinion.

I just ordered it, too.
Hope it is good as my one for Nexus 5x. For 5x I had the thicker one, the Ultra Hybrid, but now I would like to have a thinner one for more feeling.
Will report when it is delivered and I got my Pixel.
Does it seem like the edge will be above the screen to prevent the screen hitting something if it face-plants?
Where did you order it from? Spigen's site only has it available for preorder.

Try Amazon.

Just fyi, at least as of yesterday, none of the Pixel Spigen cases were on Amazon's US site.

As dust and sand gets in, those dots or ridges help protect the phone from being scraped
I ordered this for my 128gb black. O also ordered two other no name clear tpu cases. I can say without a doubt...the cuts on the speigen are a lot neater. There is also a slight border around the side of the case that isn't there on the cheaper cases. I got mine for $13 vs $8 for the two other cheap ones. Well worth the extra $5.

Not too happy with them. I ordered 2 cases , a regular carbon fiber and the Alcantara case. That was a week ago. Yesterday , send then an email wondering why 2 day UPS shipping is taking longer than a week, and they say , oh crap UPS lost them. Now they ask what I want, well I want the cases I paid for.
But.... they are now suddenly out..... geez.
Buyer beware with these guys, seems they could take the money on time.
Honestly my experience was pleasant, ordered and got the case in 2 days got the carbon fiber case

I ordered their screen protector and was very disappointed.
They are hard to put on, plus edges are always lifting.
They got a so much rugged touch you can properly swipe on the screen.
Too bad.
Good experience so far. Ordered case, showed up today. Fits great and looks good. Ordered on the 10th

Nice, can you post a pic showing the inside of the case without the phone in it?
Is the case slippery?
Looks protective enough, but the carbon fiberness seems to be a bit... shiny? Like it's got a laquer coat on top? Cases by Pitaka I've used in the past, have a more grainy texture to them. Any ideas?

It does feel like it has a coating on top of the back. I had a pitaka case before and they feel a lot different.
It's not slippery on the edges it's like a rubber around the edges, which gives good grip.. The back is smooth though.

Sorry for the late response
Finally got mine, will try to get some pics up soon. The Alcantara one is my favorite of the 2, both are identical designs just with different back "inlays" so to speak.

Change my view on this case after putting my phone in. Absolutely beautiful case with very grippy sides.
Wonder how easy that glossy finish on the back scratches though?
