They're in stock and available now. This has always been my favorite case. I don't like things that inhibit the phone's thinness\natural design, so I like slip-in sleeves, and Sena makes a good product.
Look around on the net there are 20% off coupons... their ordering\delivery process leaves a bit to be desired, but the product is good.

I guess its not as classy as a chunky shell case. Nothing sexi bout those.
If your looking for slim cases check out the casemate barley there. its very nice and even came with a screen protector. That I dont use haha.
This is a Sena pouch, not a case as you have to take the phone out of the pouch to use.

You're wrong actually. Time for English 101.
Dictionary: "enclose in a protective container" so in face the item that you refer to as a "case" is not a case, it's a backplate, or protective shell. A true case, by definition, en"cases" the item for protection. How does one access files in their briefCASE when they need them? They take them OUT of the briefCASE. How does one change clothes when they get the hotel? They take their close out of their suitCASE to use them. How does one get the term nutCASE? They take silly comments out of their head and place them in places like here, where you said SenaCases.com isn't a case website.
If you use the phone when it's in a case, it's not a CASE.
I completely understand the non-literal definition of what's included in the word "case" has become lose over the years... but your comment was just inaccurate in every way.

I had this case for about a day, and returned it.
- renders the OEM desktop dock worthless
- renders the OEM car dock worthless
- makes the charging cable not fully click in to charge w\ cable
- collects dust under the back part and gets a little icky
- provides no screen protection & screen protector makes resolution grainy
These were just my reasons for returning it. Not sure why you posted this in this thread, rather than in the general cases\shell thread, but I thought I'd reply with personal experience as to why I bought then subsequently returned it.
It's just my personal opinion, but if baffles me why people buy these shells. Even at the 3mm thickness of this case, it adds 3mm to the back, 3mm to the right, 3 mm to the top, 3mm to the bottom, 3mm to the left, and then a 3 mm lip around the phone. Add those all up and it equates to double the tickness of the phone to begin with. The idea of having a thin and light phone is so it's thin and light. I suppose if I were the type who dropped my phone frequently, having a plastic shell around it might be useful, but that's just not me, which is why I went with the slip-in sleeve as I posted above. Provides dust\pocket protection, cleans the screen, but when the phone is in hand it's in it's full thin state as intended by the manufacturer.

Can I post it? What do you mean? It's the same as googleing "Samsung Infuse Desktop Dock".... but will save me from taking photos, and will save you the wait, hehe.
I love it... I've always had a dock for my iPhone, so when I heard it was coming out for Infuse I jumped on it. It's great, just slip the phone onto it and it charges\syncs, and makes it a lot easier to see texts\emails because it's angled toward me and not just sitting on my desk flat.
It's really not a huge amazing revolutionary thing, it's more of just a convenience thing to make the phone more usable for my tastes. And much of it is just cosmetic.

I agree. This looks like something a girl would keep the phone in while in her purse. It provides no protection if you happen to drop your phone while you're actually using it. Pointless for me...perfect for the ladies. Hehe
And Bella, you can quote the dictionary all you want, but most people would consider that a pouch, not a case.

I guess if you're too clumsy to hold a phone in you're hand, then you need to get a shell that will double it's thickness. I guess you're right, if you're a man and insecure about... the ability to hold your phone due to it's small size, it might be in your best interest to explore enlargement options that'll make it easier to find, larger to hold, etc.

Its my opinion. You oviously have yours. If you need a pouch to keep your phone in while in your purse so your lipstick doesn't scratch it, that's fine. Nobody wants to deny you that option. Enjoy!
The personal attacks are so unnecessary.

Huh? How is it a personal attack. If someone drops their phone regularly, wouldn't that classify them as clumsy?
Clumsy: awkward in movement or in handling things
How is that a personal attack? You seem overly sensitive, almost like you've got a victim complex... you are wanting to be offended. I've never dropped a phone in my life... and unless I were to drop it regularly, say once a week or so, I probably wouldn't be willing to double it's thickness to protect against the occasional drop... but that's just me.
And I could say your comment about purse and lipstick are closed-minded, offensive, but I won't.
I'm starting to see a trend here... I don't want to act as a nanny, so please, stay on topic.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend or get personal... unfortunately when I post about a case and someone else says it's girly, it's off topic. God forbid girls actually want a case for their phone.

Anyhow, I gave a piece of advice about a case that I love, so if others don't like it then they can buy their plastic shells, I was merely trying to help.

It wasn't entirely aimed at you. I appreciate your help towards the community, but the community is... well... "edgy" these days. And we have to wake for that and watch out we don't become edgy as well. Catch my drift?
Now, ontopic.
So has anyone bought this case yet for the Charge? I notice that they are shipping these now according to their website. There aren't really any good pictures though, just the one of the back of the case. I would like to see what it looks like on the phone and what the coverage is in the front.

Great review. I had the same case on my fascinate and the cutout around the power button made locking/unlocking the screen fairly difficult. I ended up sending it back and getting an active-x instead.
Do you have any issues accessing the power button or any of the the other ports?
If not, I may have to pick this one up. I'm running naked with no holster and it's driving me nuts!
I have had no issues. However, to be fair, I've owned a Seidio case for my past 5 phones so I may just be used to it.

Thanks for the great review. I too have used a Seidio on my Hero and EVO. When mine came in the mail today I was worried about the new style. But like you said, seems to hold very well.
Question. Do you use a second battery? How often do you take the case off? I feel like im gonna break it when i do.
Edit
Question. Do you ever have trouble with the clip between the usb port and the volume buttons? Mine comes undone in my pocket EVERY time. This causes the bottom snaps to also come undone

Negative, but I take it off pretty regularly to keep dust and dirty down (and odin new ROMs). I found our pops apart fairly simply when I start at the slot under the hdmi out.

Yes, though not every time. Maybe once or twice a day... tops. I usually use the holster when I'm at work so I usually don't have the problem. Pushing left on the top piece (from the screen) will recreate the issue. More of an annoyance than a problem (didn't even notice it for a few weeks)!

I've never owned a sedio case before, is it durable? it looks exactly like what i want but i feel like it might be kind of fragile. i've known people who owned cases with 2 snap-on pieces and they always break within 2 weeks of purchasing. maybe they just bought cheap ones?

They are definitely sturdy.
That being said, I find that the holster is what sells me on the product as it's extremely useful for me when I'm at work. Dollar for dollar, if you are looking for a similar case, Best Buy sells one that's almost identical. They'll even let you put it on the phone and try it before you purchase it.

That sounds good, i guess my friend bought a cheap one. the rubberized part of the corners started to peel off, then the clips snapped off about 2 weeks after he bought it. just from your review and the youtube review i saw, it did look significantly sturdier from what he had bought but i was just kind of paranoid after seeing his.
and on the case at best buy, i did like it but i was looking for a rubberized hardshell case, that was the only real flaw i saw with that one. which brings me to my next question, is this one sort of rubberized? i initially thought it was but now i'm starting to think otherwise lol

The Rocket Fish BB case has the same feel as the Seidio. Both are plastic but the Seidio is a hair thicker and has their signature "soft touch" that, IMO, is a nicer feel.

no way it makes it look retro like my old cassette player left over from the early 80's. ill tell you that was the best walkman I ever had. I think it was a jvc.
also looks kinda like a silver cigarette case. though the hinge would be annoying to put in your pocket. ill bet it catches on clothing.
just a thought but I'm a machinist and I'm getting a garage to put my induma milling machine in. I can probably make dies and stamp something like that out pretty easily if I get a press of some kind. even an arbor press will work on thin aluminum. what do you think people would pay for that if I could make it with hinge or belt clip?

if I had a cnc vinal decal cutter I could sell skins for that all day on ebay but a case that needs dies to be cut and the material needs to be trimed precisely for each case well I was thinking id have to make atleast as much as that cheap import case with the inconvenient hinge.

This case has its ups and downs but I overall think its an exceptional case for the price tag.
Pros: Feels premium, looks amazing, feels good in the hand, great design.
Cons: Scared to drop it, weird way to install, doesn't offer protection to back & camera.

I didn't watch the video with sound yet... but it doesn't look like a full aluminum case... just a bumper (ie, the back isn't covered) so there should be no signal loss. He also stated there is "doesn't off(er) protection to back & camera.". So I think its just a bumper.
There are other threads that show that you have no issues w/ wireless unless you use an aluminum back.

Yeah.. I did.. I got it from ebay. I explained that in the video and on annotations. Only reason I didn't post a link is because ebay links change a lot. Just go on ebay, type in Luxury Aluminum Bumper Galaxy S 4, look for a US seller, and look for an aluminum bumper picture with indents on the side of the case. You'll find it. I highly recommend it too btw. I've been using it for a week and it looks great and feels good in the hand.

Apple actually puts the bluetooth and wifi radios under the glass pieces on the back panel. So they probably didn't see it as being a good idea to put those under the aluminum as well. An aluminum bumper with a nice glass, polycarbonate back could work well though.
Hello guys I think galaxy note 3 back is made up of plastic fully just got only leather texture, Samsung is fooling us?

Yeah it's not real leather...what, you thought you'd buy a $700 device and it would come with a few inches of leather?
/sarcasm lol, it really is messed up like how our phones are plastic and not alluminized
But it's plastic lol, full plastic.
This post is a joke, right? ut was announced even before the phone was even launched that the back was plastic, but made to look like it was leather... it took you half a year to notice it?

Looks like a joke isn't it! but what do u think if it's made of real leather would it last long enough heat water n dirt etc..it's all about indurance n leather is not one of them materials to compete..aluminuim draw back is weight n signals distortion ..but u can always have the best aluminuim covers out there

Reasons plastic covers are good is that if you drop your phone and your cover cracked or become ugly somehow, you can buy a replacement easily unlike the xperia z1/2 and iPhone 5s

leather vs aluminum
I have no problem with the plastic back, I think it feels nice and practical. I would much rather have real metal around the body, instead of the shiny plastic. This current material is the most sensitive to scratching and to getting chipped.
Metal body means a sealed phone almost all the time. I'll take a plastic body if it means I can get to the battery. It's what's inside that counts. I'll always choose capabilities over looks, and I'll never understand why people do different.
Click thanks if I helped you.

i am glad my phone is plastic rather than aluminum, the state my old htc desire was in after a few drops, it just dents and gets sharp edges, maybe the quality of the materials have improved since my desire days, but just my opinion , also the phone is lighter!
+10 for all the comments... The plastics used in todays Samsung devices have many more benefits than drawbacks... leather would have been impractical if not impossible so that's a non-issue... aluminum blocks and distorts signal and dents very easily on a drop... plastics keep the cost down when replacing back covers and allow accessibility, good signal characteristics, resilience, and many options for fit and finish.... I wouldn't change a thing
Guy's chill out, in gsmarena they mentioned leather that's why I thought so

It helps that Samsung decided to quell the "glossy plastic" complaints with a surprising move to a faux-leather look that feels almost like the real thing - instead of being tacky, it adds a touch of class.

Simple mistake I guess but I think they were pretty clear that it was a "fake leather look"
Don't trip bro... it's XDA and they will jump all over any little mistake here... makes everybody feel smart and superior... like we really have a life
Using samsung devices since s1, have to say this was the best back sammy has ever made.

To be honest, I really like it this way. I just hope it lasts though.
plastic or not just get a good cover (you may find metal covers) and forget about the problem,the phone is sturdy enough well built no crackling or so and so light in weight due to that plastic and have nice specifications top notch,i do not like leather for the sake of animals !!!! hahaha
It's called a FAUX Leather look for a reason...
It clearly says Faux Leather in the specs. So if you feel cheated, you should've read the specs.
