I just got one of these, and I love it, but I hate the built-in screen protector because it's not flush with the screen and it causes rainbow splotches wherever you press down (mainly the middle of the screen).

...so I bought a screen protector (the Sprint one in-store worked perfect surprisingly) and I peeled off the built-in protector on the case.

Now the only thing that doesn't really bother me as much, is that it's hard to pull down the notification bar sometimes since the top of the case is sort of right there. You have to really pin point the notif bar and pull it down other than the careless pull-down.

...other than that, best case I've ever owned. Or maybe I'm just too picky lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] itsachirpthing:
+1

I peeled the built in protector off as well. I could not keep the bubbles, etc, off/out of it. Tried the baby powder, solutions, just about everything. After I pulled it off, I'm very happy with the case. This is hands down the best out there. I also tried a trident cyclops as well. Very well made and fits like a glove, with or without the silicone sleeve.

[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
Yeah, I used it.

They ship from miami, so depending on where you live, its 1-5 days. Since its XMAS week, you could probably add a day or two.

They ship USPS first class, so I got mine 3 days after they actually shipped it.

I'm in Chicagoland...
[EVO 4G Accessories] dirteeboy808:
If your EVO gets wet from the rain, washing your car, etc, make sure to remove the case and check for moisture as it tends to accumulate behind the clear screen. My EVO was in swimming shorts during a slight rain, after checking it out water seeped inside of the case's clear screen. I'm sure if it's left for too long it'll cause damage as the water doesn't evaporate. Just a FYI

[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
So what is every one who has the case overall thoughts on it? I was torn on what "tough" case to get recently. After hearing of the Otterbox fail I took that one off the list. Then it was just between the Ballistic and Seidio Rugged. The Ballistic being sooooo big and due to the covers of ports and camera area, I ended up with the Seidio Innocase Rugged. I am a Nissan technician and I love this case. It is nice and sealed up in case any fluids get spilled on it while its on my side. BUT, I want to get a hands on with the Ballistic just to see how it compares. I would love to see a video with both in it since I probably wont be seeing a Ballisitic case in any local store. Will be hard to beat my Innocase Rugged, but I'll give any case a chance to try to :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
The Seidio Rugged is like a tinker toy compared to the Ballistic...

Unfortunately, with no retailers carrying the Ballistic, you cant go into a store and compare them.
[EVO 4G Accessories] lembowski:
I want the Ballistic but I'm just not going to pay the premium for it so soon after the Otterbox. I'm going to wait a month or two until they are on Amazon or ebay for cheap.
[EVO 4G Accessories] t3project:
It should have came with a screen protector. Mine did
[EVO 4G Accessories] KommyDroid:
As did mine.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ccossin:
Mine did, too. Of course, I already had an InvisiShield on mine.

This case makes my phone look and feel like a rugged gps we used in the military several years ago. I love it.

[EVO 4G Accessories] ekokinex:
After much decision making I finally ordered two HC cases. One is B/B and the other B/G. My wife was telling me how she isn't a fan of the OB Defenders silicon pulling away everytime she charges the phone. I was just dealing with it, so hopefully ill have the new cases by Friday at the latest and we can compare and send the OB back.I'll let my wife decide which color she wants.

i am happy with my ballistic case. i have a seido as well but that started peeling up and still would refer that to people as well. i like the fact it comes with a screen protector was icing. still iffy bout the kickstand ( plasticy ) but love the size too. im so tempted to go drop it off my 3 story balcony and see if it holds up. lol ill let you know if i get ballsy and do it. i do say buy one if you dont have one.

the only problem I have is that the holster wont stay horizontal... its like the phone is too heavy and it falls back down to vertical
[EVO 4G Accessories] ghostyroasty:
Is the case easy to remove and put back on? I'm curious because I was also going to order some batteries as well today. I don't want to get this nice case and then have it break after 6 or 7 removals.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ccossin:
My phone has an InvisiShield on it (which are kinda thick) so the case fits mine fairly tight. I took the case off once and it was fairly easy. Be careful, though.

On another note, you can get better battery life if you use a recently developed kernel. Do an XDA search for "SBC" and you should find it. You won't need to change your battery.

Hey does the case make it much thicker or just a little and if you could, powt pictures of side by side size comparison

Thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
the case makes it MUCH thicker...this is not a slim case by any means..
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
This is the beast case for the Evo. If you want rugged but slim, go with the Cyclops case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
Man I am still shocked that no one is posting pics of these in here. I know a lot of you have received them.

Come on guys, lets see some pics!! :D

Also, it would be AWESOME if some one with the Seidio Innocase Rugged could post pics of the two cases side by side so we could see the actual size difference. Please and thank you

I was attempting to put 2.2 on my Vibrant and somehow in the process I have managed to make the phone do absolutely nothing. I've tried to get into download mode with no luck. The thing is the screen will just barely light up when I try to turn the phone on and then go back off. It was so minute I walked into a dark room holding it and happened to see this. I have no idea what I've done but that's the extent of it.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] pete_kowalski83:
I highly doubt it, there is finally a company just now making a dock for the inc...but still not released yet. youre better off modifying an existing car mount to get that option or make something....can't be too difficult
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Ocelot13:
if i remember correctly.. the holster on the htc car dock has the camera cutout so you should be able to use it. the holster mounts to the dock and lets you rotate it to landscape so that should let you see out
[Droid Incredible Accessories] luvit:
I have a mount like this from VZ.. It captures the mount in the scene, but could probably be modded.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] teejmiller:
Best Buy sells an adjustable universal window mount setup that works perfect. You can virtually adjust it any way to make it fit, and would work great for your application. Plus, the side grips have a nice foam type material that would soak up a lot of vibrations.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] farkmeil:
You could use a drill bit slightly larger than the camera whole. I actually have that verizon clip, and I think a mod would work quite well.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] luvit:
No no, it captures the suction cup in the view.. Not the phone cradle.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mozetti:
Check out the M25 Sound dock on amazon. I have one, the angle is adjustable, and it steers out the window.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] funnce:
You could always get one of those non-sliding, weighted suction cup mounts that go on your dash then use any mount and place it facing the windshield.

You could always try to eBay a cheap universal mount and cheap DInc case, then super glue them together for a cheap custom fit case :P
[Droid Incredible Accessories] coffeedragon:
There's a car mount on eBay called the SlipGrip that has a ton of different mounting solutions and custom molded cradles for the DINC in various kinds of 3rd party cases (Otterbox, silicone, VZW case, naked). The suction cup mount has a nice long adjustable arm so you could mount it with the suction cup on your dash rather than the windshield and adjust the cradle so the arm isn't in the shot. The cradle also rotates 180 degrees so you can record vertical or horizontal.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] tdavis42:
I will sell you one for $50 that is really nice. The cradle is made for the phone and you can suction mount it to your window or glass nightstand table. I will post pics in the morning.

[Captivate General] bambamboom:
hey guys,

i went to the warranty center today to get my cappy swapped. Bought this phone when it first came out. After five random shutdowns in 2 days, i went to the warranty center to get it replaced. i told them that i was experiencing MANY random shutdowns and the GPS problems and they flat out rejected me saying that if they can't repeat it than i can't get it swapped. I got home and just my luck, it rebooted again. is there anyway to force that "! android" screen? Im betting my money that if i could get that to happen i could go there and demand a replacement. A fast answer would be appreciated.

btw, my phones not rooted, and if possible, i would like to keep it that way (ironically, for warranty purposes)
[Captivate General] mindbullet:
You could use odin to flash stock and pull the plug in the middle. I can confirm that it can produce the result you seek! I dropped mine in the middle of a flash and boom.
[Captivate General] mac208x:
They can't reject your request for a replacement it is under the warranty and whatever you find defective in the phone you have the right to replace it. It's not like they are giving you a brand new phone. Of course they cannot reproduce the problem because it happens randomly. If I wore you I would call the customer service and complain about what happen I bet they will give you something for your trouble because you and ATT know that the shut down and the gps issue is widely known.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You mean Juicedefender and such (if I remember correctly, there is at least 1 more app that does the same thing), and IMO - it completely defeats the whole purpose of modern mobile OS. If I didn't want to be connected to the network wherever I go, I wouldn't be buying a smartphone.

The battery lasts a day easily, with or without data.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranova:
if you want to completely disable data, the app youre looking for IS juicedefender - the free version disables data completely and re-enables it every 15 minutes to get any notifications.

Does anyone know if theres any work getting windows mobile 6.5 onto the new LG WP7 device? I personally cannot stand the new windows mobile solution. Granted it is very fast and has some nifty features, but it screams iPhone to me. Microsoft took its new mobile platform and built it to go head to head with the iphone functionality and Ui, but like the iphone its too locked down for me. I was hoping that there might be a group of individuals that are working to get windows mobile 6.5 onto these new devices. I would love to have all the functionality and freedom 6.5 gives me on hella speedier hardware that is Windows Phone 7. I will say though that the LG;s slide out keyboard feels clunky. The function key is in a horrible spot too.

Sorry bout the rant and getting off topic. Its the last few weeks of the semester and all of my instructors are sadistic in having a whole boatload of essays due at the same time.l Again, sorry bout the /rant.

I was at the AT&T store today and was talking to a sales rep. I am currently with AT&T on family plan and I told him that I was going to cancel my phone (the primary line) to T-Mobile to pick up the DVP.

Well, he told me that a Microsoft rep told him that T-Mobile had a 45 day exclusivity on the DVP starting from the launch date (11/8). Further, the DVP will be on 3 carriers once the exclusivity runs out. Now the speculation on the other two was Verizon and possibly AT&T.

He also said that the 3 WP7 phones at AT&T were under the 45 day exclusivity as well and that other carriers would be carrying the three devices currently at AT&T.

He wasn't sure if and when all this would happen but if in fact AT&T will be getting the DVP soon, I can hold out a bit longer as the only reason I was planning on switching to Tmo was for the DVP.

Don't mean to start a wild rumor thread but thought I share what I heard and would like to know if others have heard something similar.

Happy Holidays...

[Venue Pro General] Tempest790:
That's good news. I currently have a Focus but still miss a hardware keyboard. 45 Days would put it right after the holiday season which would allow carriers to make their money before the agreement ends. Let's hope this is true.

I hope someone will be able to enable tethering on the DVP and that will be perfect.

Agreed. I have some doubts that something like this will actuall happen. Nevertheless, I'll give it some time - until the reviews of the new and improved launched (part deux) DVPs.

I'm hoping to hear some more from folks who may knowledge or have heard something similar in the meanwhile.

Would be nice, but I wouldn't hold my breath on this one. If it were true, that would put us 2 weeks out and this would be the first real rumor I've heard.
