    Default Any tried out the Seidio g1 case?


    http://store.androidcommunity.com/co...4-24--4902.htm

    I've been looking around for direct reviews or hands on pics, but no luck, anyone got any live shots or hands on with it, trying to figure if the price is worth it or not.

    I haven't tried out the holster for the G1, because I use the Seidio hard case for my G1, and just stick the phone in my pocket.

    I can tell you that their G1 Surface case is 1st class, VERY thin, gives good protection and fits perfectly.

    I've also used their holster for my previous Blackberry, and it worked flawlessly... easy to insert the bb, easy to quickly remove it!

    I would recommend Seidio merchandise without reservation. Their products are usually a little more expensive, but always worth it!

    Hope this helps somewhat, until someone who's got the actual holster comes along....

    I have used the Seidio Innocase with the holster that fits it (slightly larger than the one in the link to accommodate the hard case) for the last 4 months or so, and the combo is A+. It's a little pricey, $25 for case and $25 for holster, but in my opinion is well worth it.

    I had (just lost my G1 yesterday). By far the best case in the market for the G1. Pricey but well worth every penny. I went thru 4-5 cases before finally finding this one. Put 5 months of use on it, holds up ALOT more than those cheapy ebay cases.

    The case features side elastic bands that will stretch or mold with your phone which will allow you to use it with or without a innocase or skin, and the strong reinforced leather belt clip will keep this stylish case securely at your side. The large magnetic flap closure will also ensure your device will stay safe in the case and scratch free.

    I also have the Innocase, but just tonight came across a problem. The part that goes over the screen has little clips that hold it in place. One of these little clips (bottom right one to be exact) snapped off. I don't know how. I noticed that side starting to raise up, and when I looked, the tab was barely holding on. I guess the tabs were made out of the rubberized plastic also. Oh well, now the bottom right likes to pop up now and again and I have to remember to press it down.

    It actually makes me scared to remove the case for cleaning (i.e. sand that acumalates between case and phone). The other thing I noticed, you have to play when you plug the charger in, otherwise it feels like you might pinch the little rubber cover off.

    Other than those issues, I love it. The feel, the look, the way the holster securly holds it, it's all good.

    I've had it for about 5-6 months or so. Best case available for the G1 IMO. No complaints at all, and I'm more than likely never changing it.

    I have my third replacement on the way. Those little clips keep breaking off! Starting to regret spending $50....

    The holster unit is solid though!

    I purchased a gel case first and it sucked, but the Seidio case is the best I have seen...my phone is protected and looks good and I can't even tell the case is on, its that hard but rubber/flexible plastic. I love it!! Recommend for anyone

    I'm not a big fan of clip-on cases myself, cos I generally feel a little more safe when a phone is surrounded by paddings perferably have my phone sitting inside a nice padded bucket shaped case.

    I have became fans of leather cases in recent years, and on a whole it looks good when I have meetings with clients... lol... sorry my friend.

    due to the nature of my job, I do own multiple mobile phones, well... some of my work are with different agents, and some are freelances. so within my messenger bag, I always have with me my serveral phones and a notebook.

    so trouser pocketability is another issue.

    lately I have added a new leather case for my Droid. which i must say is not bad at all.

    well... it suits my needs of not being bulky when the phone is in use, and my earlier concerns with the magnetic component putting the phone in dock mode has been settled having checked with other users.

    generally pleased with it.
