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.

I'm kind of leaning towards the seidio, mostly because i don't like the best buy brand too much i'll probably head down to BB tomorrow and take a look at it again. i really appreciate the help and quick responses

Hi guys,
Got my case from Mobile Fun today. Decent case but not really worth the price it's at. It's just that I hate S-Line cases so I had to get something else for now.
Have attached a couple of pictures.

Does this case give full rear and side protection, and does it raise slightly to give a lip over the screen if you lie the phone face down. Also is that the clear version. Thanks .

The protection is full rear and side. So pretty good in that sense. However, the lip is there but it is only ever so slight.

Hi,
I just ordered this case too. Why do you say it's not worth the price? What aren't u happy about? Can you give me some insight while I can still cancel the order?
I picked this one cause It's clear and it has the rubber feel (I dont like the solid cases like the S shape one).
Btw, I never used a case before, I always had my phones naked but I don't want to risk with this baby N4
Case does great for me. Means I can hold it safer without risk of dropping
Some pictures to try and help - not sure they actually show anything.
My only negative feedback so far: Sometimes I think the power button isn't as responsive as I'd like because of the extra plastic cover but that's minor and I'll get used to pressing the button a little more.
I've actually got the exact same case on my phone as I type this. I quite like the case, it's cheap so I can't really complain about it.

I have this case too (smoke version). I'm quite impressed with it TBH. It's more rigid than the usual TPU cases and will offer a bit more protection (I hope)
You can still see the writing on the back through the case, but not the nice shiny bits.
It's not as 'grippy' when lying on the table as some of my previous cases, but grippy enough not to slide off easily.

Hey,
I am looking for a hard case that I can put my Nexus 9 inside of when not in use. I generally keep my tablet in my backpack and while I am careful, it doesn't exactly get treated like a little baby bird (the backpack and it's contents). I hate cases for cell phones and tablets and I don't want something that is meant to stay on. I am looking more for a hard shell that I can place the tablet in for when I am not using it. Like a Pelican case, but not stupid thick. Does such a thing exist?

This poetic case seems right for you:

So far that's the only heavy duty case I have seen. I usually have a TPU case AMD a sleeve and call it a day but it depends.

I definitely like the ruggedness of this case, but I am looking for something a little less permanent. Ideally, I was thinking of something like the Pelican 1065CC (http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1065CC) except less extreme. I just want something that will protect the tablet when not in use. I guess what I am looking for is fairly niche, so I may just have to get the Pelican and be done with it.

Agreed, I have several of them for guns, cameras, etc. I just feel it is a little overkill for a tablet that I carry around with me, but then again, maybe it isn't....Overkill is underrated, after all.
I just went ahead and ordered a Pelican 1065. Hopefully it isn't too cumbersome.

I see what you mean but you can't go wrong with pelican.
Today the FedEx guy showed up with my Portenzo bookcase.
This is the first time I've ever ordered a case that cost me 100+ after shipping, but damn does it feel solid. The wood frame isn't too tight and putting the N9 in was easy, removing is just as easy since I have the intellistand feature which allows me to prop up the tablet with the added bonus of allowing me to push at the back of the N9 to remove it if necessary.
I got it in black (yes I'm not very creative) but to me it looks like a nice mystery book with no title. I didn't get the magnets that keep the cover closed, it was already quite expensive and I felt that I could live with a strap that kept the case closed. It feels great to hold and the sleep/wake magnet works pretty well.
Overall the case is very solid and in my opinion is a bit expensive but does offer the style and a sense of security for the N9.

Hey thanks for sharing great pics. Can you tell me where you got the bookcase or show me a link? It's pretty expensive in my opinion lol but I would like to check it out.
Just google Portenzo and you should find it. It is expensive and I can't get myself to pay that premium.

That's the link. It's expensive but then they also have the pricier leather model. I wish I was loaded and got that. Maybe for my next tablet, for now I like the standard bookcover.
Amazing wonder if the ship to Canada?

I think you have to pay $5 more for the camera hole. Keep in mind, they hand make these tablets made to order for each customer individually. It is DEFINITELY worth the price, in my opinion, it is just a matter of how long you will keep the tablet. I bought one for my wife because she will keep her Ipad until the damn thing literally falls apart. For me, I wouldn't dare spend that much money on a tablet case because I always have to upgrade.

Do you think ventilation maybe a issue with the tablet in the case?
People are complaining about heat, it looks like it may if anything add to the issue.

I dont think so but I'm sure it depends on the tablet. The nexus 9 does get hot but i dont think the portenzo will be effected more than other cases.

They do ship to Canada and provide different shipping options too.
I did pay for the camera cut out, it was 5 dollars I think. As for the heat output, the N9 has room to breathe and it doesn't seem to hinder the tablet from cooling down in anyway. I'm not sure (is wood a good insulator/conductor?), but to me it works fine.
I plan on keeping the N9 for a while since it's just the right size compared to the smaller N7 (2012 and 2013) and the Shield Tablet just wasn't to my liking. So spending this much for a sense of security is nice, plus it feels amazing.
I just ordered one, sure from what I read I will not be disappointed
Looks amazing and is my style but I'm entirely too active to have one of these.

I just took delivery of mine and it looks great! Maybe I have more money than sense, but this is my third Portenzo case, the others were for my Nexus 7s. It looks particularly good in this size and aspect ratio, and the angle on the stand is perfect. I wouldn't use anything else.

Well, I was not considering this case until reading this thread, and it seems that this would be a worthwhile investment. LinS123, wood is a great insulator- there should be NO problems with letting the tab breathe. I think that this case looks quite worth the money.
Got it
Two things I am not fond about.
1) It is thicker than I expected. Kind of a let down makes the Nexus 9 in the case at least twice as thick than a naked Nexus 9.
2) Should of not got the elastic.

Yeah, I just am not using a case, I think. Too much bulk. I have a little carrying case, but I'm not going to strap it into an overbearing piece of plastic.
I purchased an OTG cable, does not fit in the cut out.
It is shame, not going to cut down the opening and while the Nexus 9 is nice a secure do not want to pull it out of the case.
These are some great looking cases. I especially like the leather ones. I might have to pick one up! Thanks for sharing op!

Would be interested to know if the case blocks the speaker on the phone or it routes the sound toward you. It looks like it could be routing the sound from the speak to the 2 holes at the bottom.

I may order when someone else serves as the test subject.
I'll stay tuned to see how other folks like it.
I ordered this case and immediately had horrible signal issues. I've e-mailed the seller asking if there's a solution. It's too bad to use as a phone, though wifi was not blocked at all. Normally I have strong LTE in my house but it's unusable with the case on.
Marvel should sue them for stealing Spiderman design (j/k). Only if this case had a belt clip, I'd bite. I want someone to make a case with a clip!

to each their own... but gawd, that's ugly.
I bought it when it first went up, before their description made it clear it was steel, I was hoping for a thin metal slip. The case is heavy as hell, and the built in screen protector traps pocket lint between the screen protector and screen. The case is held on with 6 hex screws, which worked, but made it even heavier.
It did muffle sound a little, as to radio...I'm just switching to Ting with GSM from Sprint with my phone. I was worried for a bit that my phone was the issue, but a girl who has a galaxy phone has all the same signal issues I did on Sprint. I'll let you know of mine is better, and how GSM is impacted by the case later.

I should also mention, like the Tudia, it made my side access worse. I use Lucid launcher specifically for the left side slide out favorite apps, these were really hard to activate on both this case, and the Tudia. I also use a pie fromthe right side, this was similarly hard to trigger, but at least I could customize the trigger width to accommodate the massive bearth.

That doesn't look like a quality case to me. The back looks like plastic. But there aren't a lot of cases compatible with the 360 Camera so if you want specifically to use that feature it's probably worth taking the chance since the case is so cheap. But if you don't care about the 360 Camera there are clearly way better choices.

I bought it.
It actually isn't cheap feeling.
Soft touch.
Pretty heavy.
Secures on the phone pretty well.
Looks like it will protect the phone in a drop.
It does add bulk.
The flip down for the camera is pretty cool.
The opening on the back for the camera is large since the case is so deep.
The fingerprint sensor hole is also large because they made it to clear the camera opening without leaving a small piece of TPU inside.
Overall I like it for the ~$10 I paid.
It is either this or naked.
I bought it as well.
Doesn't feel cheap to me.
Adds a decent amount of bulk to the phone but not too much.
The flip down feels pretty sturdy and hopefully it won't loosen over time.
It has a nice feel to it. Soft but not slick. Sort of rubberized.
I've been using the first Tudia case that came out for this phone for awhile now and it's fine most of the time. But when I do use the 360 lens it is a hassle. Having to peel the case off. Hopefully this fixes that problem.

I tried it yesterday and the flip down works fine.
It's a bit stiff to latch and unlatch, but it does solve the 360 camera issue.
No more case removal! It also means that those screen protectors that glue around the edges will bel see likely to lift.
I still haven't decided if I want to use LOCA to attach a screen protector to my phone.
