[Epic 4G Accessories] Altos:
Just a quick comment, because I was worried as hell since I already ordered it...

Mine came in today, and it is PERFECT. Nice straight edges, nothing uneven or unsightly.

It fit nice and snug. Only drawback, which actually made sense once I thought about it, was the front bezel cover made it "deeper". Not much, really, but it looks like it. But that's better screen protection when on the phone is face down. :)
[Epic 4G Accessories] scriz:
Good deal, mind posting pics?
[Epic 4G Accessories] churro7:
does it scratch or other wise touch the kb?
[Epic 4G Accessories] Bigjim1488:
Does it help those of us who have that darn screen wobble? :p
[Epic 4G Accessories] thomasskull666:
FINALLY someone who actually purchased and received it! I'm glad to hear that it is good quality, I'm still waiting to purchase mine until I have $30 bucks to throw down on a case so thank you for for the comment. Any way you could take some HQ pictures of the microphone and top ports?
[Epic 4G Accessories] Comando156:
In Terms of Thickness/BULK how do you think the ACTIVE X case compares to the Surface Case? Is it twice the thickness? I see it peels super fast from your pictures, which makes me think that it wont last very long.
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
Wait until Seidio puts the cases up on Amazon.

They will be for around $20 with free shipping.

I paid 35 for the Seidio Innocase directly from the website, only for it to show up on Amazon for $21 with amazon prime shipping a week later. :|
[Epic 4G Accessories] betatech:
Nope will hold form for some time plus it is very flexible, IMO feels like the same material used on the otter case.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Altos:
Yeah, I agree there. I have an otterbox case for my wife's blackberry - I think they are quite comparable as far as materials. The "rubber" on the Seidio actually feels a little more dense.

----

For those people wanting pics - I'll see what I can do this evening (no promises, but I will try).

In terms of thickness/bulk. Yeah, it feels like it adds a little more - and it's noticeable, but it's not "uncomfortable". It doesn't add too much to the weight, however (although it may seem like it does due to the size).

I can't compare to the Surface case, as I didn't have one, but I had the other "surface" type case that appears to be the same size/fit. Adds a bit more to it comparatively.

I've not had any scratching issues (yet), but I'm very careful when I take the case off. As I mentioned earlier - it has a very snug fit, and there is the possibility that it could scratch from putting it on and taking it off.

As far as it scratching the keyboard where some people have had that issue with the Surface case - no. I don't see how it would the way it fits. The bezel top tabs are only on the top and bottom edges (none along the sides) and don't seem to have any contact with the keyboard at all. They are nice and thin, yet very sturdy.

For the "screen wobble" - I had a little (very little) play before I put the case on. With the case on, it seems to add some resistance to the slider and has eliminated the wobble I was experiencing.

(Note to Seidio - I know you guys read here!! Think you could add some locking tabs for sliders? It would be nice to "lock" so the case doesn't slide without unlatching a tab? Just a suggestion!)

The top row of keys on the keyboard are still accessible, BUT it does hang over them just a tiny bit - so they aren't as easily used as they would be without a case. This is likely going to be true of any case with a front bezel.

BTW - got an email today from Seidio - 15% off using code TREAT15 (this week or for the rest of the month?). Wish I'd had that when I ordered it and save a few bucks.

Again - I'll try to post pics later tonight.

[Epic 4G Accessories] Bigjim1488:
The case is great but for that money they should also throw in a holster for it. I went onto their main site and they want another 30 something bucks for a holster.....no thanks!
[Epic 4G Accessories] scriz:
49.99 for the case and the holster. I'd rather pay that than have to pay the deductible if I drop my phone and the screen breaks.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Bigjim1488:
I have been known to be mistaken every once in awhile but when I ordered my case I did not see the case and holster combo deal anywhere for the active x. I was jut able to find the case for 29 and the holster on backorder for 29. All I am saying is 29 seems a bit much for the holster
[Epic 4G Accessories] nimaim:
UPDATE!

Amazon will have this in stock on Nov. 4th. You can still order it and they will ship it when they receive it. See here. I ordered last week when they put the page up and just received the email stating that date.
[Epic 4G Accessories] hdnet1:
Anyone know a place that has the holster in stock? I ordered the case last week off eBay, but have had little luck finding the holster. No one seems to have the combo in stock either.
[Epic 4G Accessories] SEAL62505:
I got my activex from amazon on Saturday (my wife got the innocase from amazon a couple of days earlier)

I really like it. Only downsides that I have noticed so far

-bulk - more than the innocase

-can be hard to type the numbers on the keyboard

Any ideas on what kind of paint would work well for the solid back part?

Would Krylon fusion paint work well?

edit:

I emailed Seidio and got a call back today. The rep said they use ABS plastic for the skeleton, but would not recommend painting it. I'll look up some more painting videos on youtube (Seems like there's a bunch of people painting ABS plastic anyways) but i'll probably just wait for that blue active case to come out.
[Epic 4G Accessories] 1999TL:
I just ordered this. Amazon was the cheapest. Seidio just sent me a 20% off coupon but I'm in Texas so Seidio would charge me tax.
[Epic 4G Accessories] jeremiah.rs:
Hey, would anyone be kind enough to post photos of an Epic with the case and without the case? I want to see how much extra bulk this thing adds onto the phone. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Accessories] sensor32:
I just got this case and an innocase in and I have to say I like the innocase better. The active is slippery, its not grippy at all and the overall look is bulky. Just doesnt feel secure in the hand.
[Epic 4G Accessories] 1999TL:
I just received mine from Amazon today, however, it is for the Captivate. DOH!

I kind of like that it's not so grippy so that it can go in and out of the pocket easier. I believe that is by design.
[Epic 4G Accessories] thomasskull666:
Got mine today, I'm so glad I went with this case! I'm loving the overall build quality and it looks sexy as hell :-)
[Epic 4G Accessories] averroe5:
this cases is the best one i have tried so far... and I have tried quite a few of them. In terms of thickness it really doesn't bother me. I had a platinum series polycarbonate/carbon fiber (i forget which of the two it is) case i bought at best buy and it seems like it is very similar to the seidio innocase, which is a good case and very good for those wanting the least amount of bulk added to the already large epic 4g. I was one of those who was constantly worried about not getting a bulky case but the seidio active x just looks so ****ing nice and sexxy on my epic that the little bulk it adds is easily overlooked, especially because the phone feels so much more solid in my hand now than it ever did with a thinner case. Still waiting on my otterbox commuter to come in so i can compare between the two, but I guarantee you that if you order this case you will not be disappointed at all. Mine didn't have any of the rough spots or quality issues dscribed or shown in the first couple of posts. It was looking great right of the case... blemish free
[Epic 4G Accessories] Joeway124:
+1,

I bought this case a couple days after getting my Epic, and although it does make it a tad bit bulky, it has a very solid construction, fitment is spot-on, and just holding the phone feels great. not to mention its sleekness. i believe this case is worth every penny. (2,200 to be exact).
[Epic 4G Accessories] AndroidMilos:
I just got mine today from Amazon. What a fantastic case !! Sedio must have cleaned up their act somewhat judging from the first post in this thread. Feels great in the hand and awsome looking. Wow!
[Epic 4G Accessories] skeet07:
This case is awesome had it since November. The only problem that I have had with this case was that I drop my phone a lot and one of the clips holding on the back cover broke off. Other than me being a moron this case is the best.
[Epic 4G Accessories] merrtpa:
I used Seidio for my other phones and liked them, so I got the ActiveX for the Epic. This is my first ActiveX. I was disappointed in the way the plastic didn't cover much of the back. And with only rubber at the top, it was hard to get it clipped in with one hand because the rubber would fold over against the clip. I tried to get Seidio to exchange it, but they refused. I called and asked to speak to a supervisor and was told they were "not available" and took my info to call me back. Never got the call. So I'm done with Seidio and will look at the others. Too bad. I liked most of their products, but the customer service sucks.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Custodian:
Does it fit the 3500 Extended battery well?
[Epic 4G Accessories] TexasAggie97:
I'm really looking to get the Active X case for my Epic along with the clip in holster.

Can anyone tell me how sturdy the phone is while clipped into the holster? I work out at a gym with my phone on my hip and also walk on uneven terrain. Will the holster stay clipped to my belt?

I went ahead and purchased the maroon Active-X case and it is awesome!!!!
[Epic 4G Accessories] Donmeister85:
I wear my phone on me all day when I'm at work on 10 hour shifts. From jumping on and off forklifts, tractor trailors, and loading docks, I'd say it's more than sturdy enough for use at the gym! :)

Anyone else have a problem with the rubberized body becoming loose on the bottom of the phone? it is tight everywhere else but is becoming less sturdy on the bottom.
[Epic 4G Accessories] thomasskull666:
After about 6 months of owning this case, my clips finally all broke off :-(

Definitely worth the money, I just wish it would have lasted a little longer.
[Epic 4G Accessories] dtm_stretch:
If you have only owned it for 6 months and bought it through seidioonline.com they will replace it for you for free. Just go to http://www.seidioonline.com/Articles.asp?ID=135 and it will explain the process. I bought mine around christmas and the clips broke last month. I sent the case into them(I paid shipping) and they sent me a new one back about a week later.
[Epic 4G Accessories] thomasskull666:
Oh no way that's awesome! Ya I got mine around Christmas so I should still be able to get a new one hopefully. Thanks for the suggestion and links!

[Epic 4G Accessories] monke30butt:
Looks good to me!!!

I ordered the Active X combo from Amazon & have been using it for a couple of weeks now. It seems to be a great case, very high quality. It is everything I was expecting. Plus it is easily removed from the back of the phone without damage so I can change the battery. I have to change the battery on my Epic on most work days twice so this was a big factor for me.

Also this is the only cose that will fit in a holster that I am aware of.

I would HIGHLY reccomend this case, can't say a single bad thing about it.
[Epic 4G Accessories] The Root:
Ordered Blue on Amazon for about $20

Update: Love it, hardest part was figuring out which side was up on the front
[Epic 4G Accessories] rocket321:
I have a couple questions if anyone could answer would be great:

On the left side above the volume buttons, is the hole for the speakerphone mic there? It appears they covered right over it.

Is "Ships from Amazon.com" an Authorized re-seller? (e.g. qualifies for the 1 yr warranty?) I have searched Seidio's website and google and cannot find a list of authorized sellers anywhere.

Does everyone have the rubber coating peel off after a couple months of use? I see in the OP it is peeling at the top and bottom, and see some comments about that on Amazon, but most people do not mention it. If it is limited to a few users I'd assume it was a manufacturing defect on a specific batch. This is partly why I want to make sure I order from an authorized seller so I can get it replaced if it does start to peel.

Looks like a great case for protection, I've been going back and forth between this case and the "Surface case w/ holster" as they are about the same price. I'm looking at the 3 cases I've already bought but don't use because they all scratch the keyboard and really want something of good quality this time.
[Epic 4G Accessories] The Root:
The hole above the volume is a place for a wrist tether. Speaker phone should be using phone speaker on the back. Mic has a cut out at the bottom.

[Epic 4G Accessories] rocket321:
Learn something new everyday - thanks Root!

I'd still like to know if "Ships from Amazon.com" is an Authorized re-seller which would be eligible for warranty replacement. If no one happens to know I'll try to contact seidio to verify.
[Epic 4G Accessories] turbosocks:
i know its been a while since this has been bumped, but i have had this case since January on my epic and figured I would throw in my .02.

First of all, this case fits on VERY nicely and I am very picky when it comes to quality of fitment on things like this.

I will start it as a PROS/CONS list and elaborate.

PROS

turns Epic into a tank

very high build quality on materials

protects the glass a bit (as if gorilla glass isn't enough)

fits great

fits great...

bottom Active X and silicone work together flawlessly.

CONS

turns Epic into a tank (overall thickness is now ~.8")

hard to slide into some pockets

The case has held up now for 8 months and still looks the same way it did when I took it out of the package. I have removed it probably 20+ times taking the SD card out, removing battery to power down, clean the phone, etc. Still snaps on like new.

None of the finish is starting to peel.

Still take it off every once in a while the thickness of the case doesn't allow me to put it in my pocket easily.

Can't really say it was worth the money I paid for it because I still think it was a little overpriced, but this case lives up to everything I could ever expect out of a case. I got my case when they only had black/black so i can't comment to color chips or anything on the colored 'X' parts other than that my wife has the EVO seidio active X burgandy and it still looks BRAND new.

[Epic 4G Accessories] RLMJr77:
I've had mine for about 3 months now and have broke 2 of 3 clips on one side of the back cover. Yes I remove the cover pretty often as the Kernal I was using for a while was causing my phone to lock and had to remove the battery to reset. But with that said the first clip broke off within the first month and the second broke off the following month. Its a good design but the small plastic clips that snap over the edge to secure the cover need to be a little thicker to prevent breakage.
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
Seriously? I can not find anything for the life of me!!! Has ANYONE found a way to unroot Unrevoked 3.21 if rooted AFTER accepting the OTA (3.29)??? If unrevoked puts out a root exploit without telling anyone how they obtain root, why wont they provide anyone with how to unroot it? Seriously make me so irritated because I see a bunch of people who rooted with UR3 and now need to unroot for various reasons; however, it seems almost impossible at this point...

I know there are a lot of people against unrevoked but nonetheless this is still a PROBLEM the needs to be RESOLVED.

Anybody have any answers or solutions?
[EVO 4G General] easy1600:
Grab the RUU and flash the phone? o.O
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
From what has been said in recent posts the RUU does not work nor does the pc36img that was posted in the 2 step unrooting guide in the devolopment section.
[EVO 4G General] mcjx:
From my experience in doing this, you need the Unrevoked S-ON tool, which you can find here.

I have found that downloading the RUU and running it twice tends to solve the problems.

I think it might not connect to the bootloader on the first time, just run the RUU again and it should work it's magic. I would recommend a full wipe of system/cache/dalvik-cache after applying the S-ON tool and then running the RUU.

EDIT: This will revert your entire phone to stock, so don't do it without knowing that it will cause you to lose root and possibly not gain it again.

I used the above guide to restore mine back to factory BUT the guide is mistaken on steps.

You WILL need to preform all steps regardless of the style of root. At least thats what it took for me to get back to stock.

Forget the red text and start at #1 and work to #15 for success.

Once unrooted you will be at the version prior to 3.70 and then you will get the OTA update to bring you current.
