I'm definitely interested in this case, but after previously dealing with Seidio, I'm not sure if its gonna be worth it!
If the clips are designed differently from the Innocase, I might consider one, but if they are the same, I will wait for OtterBox to make something nice.

Wow, that actually looks pretty good, and they sell the case/belt clip combo for 49.99. Look at the picture of the area of the case that goes near the microphone, it looks really ill-cut..hopefully it will be more refined when they are released!

yep, i have it in my seidio wish list cart, and have even emailed them to hurry up last week. Looks like the best case i can find. Although if otterbox decides to make one, i might regret this purchase. But otterbox doesnt make many cases for sliders. Hopefully this one.

Otter will release a case for this phone I would imagine they did for the moment.

This is not true! Otterbox makes many sliding phone cases, including cases for the Droid, Droid 2, Palm Pre, Samsung Moment, etc. They make the Commuter case, which is more or less like the Seidio Active case.
But people, I recommend waiting until Amazon has the Active cases in stock.
I bought the Seidio Innocase for $29.99 from Seidio, and a week later, Amazon had the exact same case for $23 with FREE 2 day shipping. :\

i meant in comparison to seidio, they make fewer slider cases. Sedio does almost any phone, otterbox... just the hot ones.

Seidio Innocase Rugged
I received a survey from Seidio developers yesterday asking me if I would be interested in buying an Innocase Rugged even if they weren't able to make it fit with the sliding keyboard feature. I responded saying that the Sprint Epic 4g was the only phone in the Galaxy S line in this country that had a keyboard and that it is one of the main reasons anyone would buy a Galaxy S phone from Sprint versus any other carrier. I recommended that if they can't build it so that we're able to open our sliding keyboard then they should just focus on making a huge extended battery for us instead

The only issue i have is that they need to make good tabs especially for the bezel. When i first got the official sprint case with the grip on the back i loved it but the tabs broke the second time i took it off. I recently got a replacement and the tabs are perfect. The only issue i have with all these cases is that the bezel is always some plastic round crap. I have a great idea that would help out for a rugged seidio case and prevents the thick bezel to influence the keyboard. If you just look at the cases available for epic and think really hard you can get a game changer for slider phone case. But companies stay generic so eeehhhh.

Id prefer themmaking it easier to remove

I don't know if anyone has seen this, but the active x case is now available in black only.

Good to know! What's the difference between this and the Innocase? Is this more durable?

The Active cases are similar to the Otterbox Commuter or Casemate Tough.
A rubber skin with plastic shell outside. I'm considering the blue active once they show up on amazon.
I'm wary of Seidios quality though because the active case my friend got for her Evo has been shedding since she got it. The active case plastic shell seems to break easily at the corner apparently also.
posted from a EPIC4G.

Yeah between the Evo innocases damaging the phone, and the Epic innocases not fitting properly, I'm expecting to be unpleasantly surprised =\
BUT that's why Amazon is the best, its so easy to return stuff =]

[Q] So I'm looking for a new case to buy...

Whats up world of XDA, I need your help choosing between these four cases. I usually buy them cheapy ones but this time I decided to buy a good one. I'm not sure whether to go with the Seidio Active, the Trident Aegis, the Case-Mate Tough Case, or the Case-Mate Pop! Case. Or should I wait for a better one to come out, (if there is another one coming out). Is there other better ones? Thanks!

Hmmm.... Based on the examples you listed, it seems like you're looking for a tank-like case. Considering how 'new' the Sensation is, you could always wait for more tanky cases to come out. If you don't mind getting something a little less tank-like, take a look at Incipio NGP case. I bought mine for 19.99 with free shipping from the official Incipio site. Also, you might want to look at the NGP incipio case thread under Sensation Accessories. Good luck finding the perfect case.

Yeah, I saw the NGP Incipio case. It looks durable but I need something more as you said "tank like". I got it a month ago and its in perfect condition however I tend to drop my phone a lot. I used to have the Samsung Vibrant and I literally destroyed the chrome sides. I'd rather buy the case than buying a OEM battery cover. So you think I should wait for better ones?

Bump.

Unless you're willing to wait for other xda peeps to post up their experience with any of the cases you listed, you might be better off ordering all of them & personally test each one until you find one that suits 'your needs'. I dunno if you'd be up for such a hassle. Besides, what would you define as "better" in comparison to you're current list?

The Body Glove case with optional kickstand got bad reviews in the beginning because it was the wrong fit(left marks on phone). They've restocked now and it fits much better(they sent me a replacement). Its not too big of a case and not too small. Has good grip.
My 2 cents.

Seidio Active Case with Holster Pictures

I hope these help in making a purchase decision.

Yep, is a very nice protective case. I switch between it and the TPU case. I like the holster too, I just wish I could find a side carrying case that is big enough to fit the skyrocket into while it has the active shell on it while I was at work. If I could find one, I'd probably just keep the active on it all of the time.

Appreciate the variety of pictures you posted. I've been debating the active case, but there are no local places that sell it, which makes it hard to drop that much cash on a case I've never actually seen. It definitely helps to have good pictures to reference.

I thought the seidio case was much better on my atrix than the Otterbox. Do you know if it's as bulky as the Defender case? I have the Defender but I'm a fan of seidio since the Atrix.

I have never owned an Otter Box case but looking at the their website I would probably compare it to the Commuter series.
I choose this one because of the kickstand.

I just got the active case on Monday. It is well built and fits the phone very nicely. My coworker has an Otterbox defender on his iPhone and it is bulkier than the active. The one thing I have found is that while it goes in and out of your pocket easily it always holds on to some lint. I got mine from eBay with free shipping for $23.
Great pictures to help others decide btw.

I just got this in the mail the other day. I had one for my captivate and loved it! I was stupid enough to be suckered into paying way too much for a case at AT&T... But I went ahead and bought this one online anyways, and its sexy! I have a white skyrocket, so I got the white case, and it's kind of pearly and still has the black kickstand and rubber, it looks awesome! I'd recommend this to anyone

I got this case yesterday love it. Protects the phone, it's thin all that nice stuff.
My parents want this as an iPhone equivalent now.
Eighteen bucks from Amazon.

Got mine the other day too. I didn't even consider any other case company besides seidio. I love their cases that much. Never had a complaint about a case from them in the past and I dont forsee having one anytime soon.
Sent from low Earth orbit with my SkyRocket.

I too got the Seidio Active + Holster. Very happy with it. Slim profile, and doesn't add much volume or weight. My only complaint is that the texture (which is quite pleasing to feel) is just a little too slick for my taste. However, I imagine that any "stickier" and it wouldn't slide in/out of a pocket easily. Very pleased over all. The holster is handy, especially since this phone is so much bigger than my old iPhone 3GS, and it doesnt fit into the shirt pocket of my scrubs easily. If i get a chance I'll post some pictures as well...

I have this combo as well. I started with the Pop! case that I got from AT&T. It was the best case IMO, but the rubber started to fray in less than a month. Then I tried the Seidio Surface combo. While this case was thin, it was too slick. The Active is a nice compromise between the other two cases. My only complaints about the active case are that the rubber is too grippy (it snags my jeans pockets and attracts lint like crazy) and the super soft rubber absorbs the vibration function of the phone and renders it almost useless.

I'm curious where everyone is buying this. Amazon have it for > $30.

I got mine off of Amazon for $31.99, free shipping. The link is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006NYOX3C/ref=ox_ya_os_product
Looks like they increased the price 65 cents. But this combo on the Seidio web site is $55, so not a bad deal...

I just got my seidio active from amazon. I like it so far except for the fact that it is a lint magnet and it is somewhat hard to take out of my pocket.

Thinnest case?

Put Ghost Armor Matte on my Skyrocket but am getting annoyed with how parts of it peel. Used to throw Best Skins Ever on every device without issue. Any suggestions on the best thinnest case vs. protective skins?
The Cellaris case here seems interesting for it's aluminum cover: https://www.cellairis.com/product/cellairis-fender-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-black
So does this cheap TPU case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678753

Thinnest case probably is the Rearth Ringke.

I have a generic TPU case (no idea what brand) and by my ruler/eye it is 12mm, so the one linked above is only .5mm thinner. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't notice the difference.

I have the BodyGlove case. It's hard rubber, nice grip and adds protection to the screen because it overlaps the front of the phone. It works well because I've dropped it on my concrete patio out back and the phone was unscathed. The best feature was the $10 price tag at WalMart. Looks similar to the Rearth Ringke and the Diztonic TPU. Great purchase.

I have found the Seidio Surface line to be the thinnest and offer the best protection. Excellent product, have had this model on my last three devices.
This case is hard shell with thin padding on the inside you protect the finish of your phone. And it has a matte finish that gives your Skyrocket a much better surface to hold on to that the slick stock finish.
You can find the case alone for around 25 bucks, or with the belt clip holster as a combo for 30 - 35 if you Google in the right places.

Hrm, had a Seidio holster back in the Blackberry days, solid products. Didn't realize their cases were also now among the thinnest.

The Surface case is very thin. Here's a video review I located.
Excellent case IMHO.
And here's a link to Amazon with a pretty good price on the case and holster combo -> http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BD2-HR3SSSKY-BK-SURFACE-Holster-Skyrocket/dp/B006NYOW8S/ref=pd_sim_cps_6

Jus' sayin', y'know, if blue's your thing...

Thanks guys. Think I am sold on the Seidio given the 1mm thickness and past use of their stuff. Have the TPU case from here on order but might just get both and compare.

I'm tempted to get the blue Seidio considering how little it costs, but the wife might just kill me if I have another case delivered right after getting my new Diztronic TPU (which replaced that black case after I destroyed it, which replaced the Diztronic TPU she now has, which replaced a series of Dragoncell hybrid cases, which replaced an Otterbox, etc...I have case ADHD).

If it helps domestic peace any it seems the Platinum case / rebranded Seidio Surface + Holster can be had on eBay from US sellers for around $10 Although reading some threads it seems it only comes in black.
I think I'm going to get one of these although I am seeing some posts saying that the bottom can be a little loose for some. Hoping it's the exact same build quality as the Seidio branded version.

Don't worry about resurrecting an old thread... Our accessories forum isn't too active anyway
I have the Infuse 4g dock (compatible with skyrocket)
However there isn't that much space. The dock works best when the rocket is naked

Thanks for the reply.
Bare phones always seem to work better with docks. I have this dock in picture and that's the one I'd like to know if it would work with the seidio surface case.

To answer own concern, yes it does fit. Perfectly.

M9 **HOLSTER** Cases

Looking for a case for my M9, but it MUST have a holster of some sort. I have a Seidio on my M7 and have been very happy with it, but thought I'd start a thread to list cases of this type as a quick reference and see what's out there. Chime in as you will, and I'll update this thread periodically.
Please respond ONLY with cases that also have a matching HOLSTER.
Seidio
Otterbox (Defender)

Thans for the suggestion. I see this as more of a pouch with a belt clip rather than the traditional quick-release holsters I'm looking for, so I'm going to hold off on posting it for now. I"ll probably add it as a 'variant' when we have a few more listings.

@BillTheCat,
Just FYI, I recently got the Supcase with the holster I posted yesterday and it's great so far. Similar to otterbox defender for half the price....

Does the Supcase have a kickstand?
Sent from my HTC6535LVW using XDA Free mobile app

no it doesnt

Otterbox defender is an awsome choice - very good protection + 2 in 1 holster and kickstand... I love mine.
