Motorola Droid Case Reviews

[AMCsoldier]

anyone able to obtain the sena droid case before Christmas? would love to know where!

Got my Sena Droid leather sleeve (the UltraSlim) in the mail today. Phone fits snugly. However, the sleeve is very thin and flimsy. My previous phone was a Blackberry Curve, and the stock leather sleeve that came with it seems much more firm, thick and protective in comparison. I have little confidence in this sleeve's ability to protect my phone from anything other than superficial scratches. Perhaps that's all you're looking for. I suppose there is a tradeoff here between protection and size (bulk) - in this case, I would prefer more protection even if it meant more bulk. Others may disagree. I paid a total of $30 (including shipping); I feel like I paid too much. $15 would seem more commensurate.

Can you post some pics? I too am considering that case.

You might look into the pdair case...it seems to have more bulk to it.

I just wanted to let everyone know that Waterfield listened. There is now a $2 shipping option:
Droid Suede Jacket - Droid Sleeve - Droid Case - Milestone Sleeve - Milestone Case - Slim Droid Case - Droid Pouch - Droid Soft Case - Ultrasuede - WaterField Designs Droid Suede Jacket

I have been following the case options for a bit now and upon refreshing their page noticed the shipping price notice. I have just placed my order.

Other updates:
- Octo: Exchanged e-mails with them. Nothing available for Droid on the short term.
- Sena: Asked about their shipping and stock expectations on the 14th of December. No answers as of yet.
- Easecase: Looks great. Vendor does not know if the magnet option will trigger the dock mode, but there is a snap option.
- Zagg: I currently have these on the three Milestones I have and am a bit mixed. I am glad the screen is protected but I do not like the texture or grabby feel it has. The smooth feel of the original screen was considerably better. There were also some minor imperfections in all three of them causing linear moirae etc...
- G1 OEM case: If you need more than 1, this seller has the best price: NEW OEM T-Mobile HTC Google G1 pocket Case - eBay (item 160387982472 end time Dec-20-09 01:27:26 PST) the $0.99 for shipping with additional units free makes this very inexpensive. Even for one, $3.94 is very reasonable.

Cheers,

Has anyone reviewed the Amzer® Hybrid Silicone Skin Jelly Case - Black For Motorola Droid A855 (Amzer Hybrid Silicone Skin Jelly Case - Black For Motorola - Motorola Droid A855 - CASES - Fommy.com? How does it compare to this ebay one: BLK Hard Case Cover+LCD For Motorola VERIZON Droid A855 (BLK Hard Case Cover+LCD For Motorola VERIZON Droid A855 - eBay (item 110469098568 end time Dec-21-09 14:46:44 PST))

Just bought the droid last night and I'm trying to find good protective cases. Also need a protective screen for the LCD. I've heard this is good, Steinheil Anti-Fingerprint for Motorola Droid (Steinheil Anti-Fingerprint for Motorola Droid) but can't find it available.

Any ideas?

Thanks

@alucardx: I cannot comment on Amzer yet. Contemplating their carmounts and dock, but no purchase yet. There are several videos of their products on youtube.

Now for the LCD screen protector, I can only say that so far I am very unimpressed with Zagg.
I do not know if my problem is with the concept itself as I have never used an applicated LCD protector before, but after covering three Droids with Zaggs and not being impressed I have ordered a Clear-Coat (Motorola Droid Screen Protection) for comparison on a fourth Droid which is on its way.
It will be a few days before the Clear-Coat one arrives but I will comment back on how it compares to the Zagg.
I am actually a little upset with the $60 investment in covering the three devices with the Zagg covers.
If there were a way to return them I would in a heartbeat. The feel is terrible, the texture is terrible, the edges have imperfections, there is very visible moiré in length long lines etc... I am very unhappy.

Well, you're right about one thing.

"Other's may disagree"...

I also got my Sena Droid ULTRA SLIM leather case today.

Now, I have no problem with you're liking, or hating the case. But... it's called THE ULTRA SLIM CASE.... and, they state:

"Thinnest pouch Sena offers"

So to now complain that it's "very thin and flimsy" seems a little unfair.

I find the case to be made of very fine quality leather, and yes, it IS thin. It adds very little to a naked Droid, when you put this case on and then stick it in your pocket.

It also has soft felt like material on the inside, to protect the Droid.

To remove this case (because it's such a tight fit), you are instructed to hold it with one hand on each side, while pressing with your thumb on the bottom of the case.... this makes the case scrunch up (it springs back into shape after the Droid is removed), and pushes the Droid out of the top enough to be able to grab it and pull it out the remainder of the way. If the case were firm and still, you would NOT be able to remove the Droid from the case, not easily anyways.

If my Droid gets scuffed up, or scratched up, because I absentlmindedly put my Droid in my pocket with keys, or with coins, or whatever, I'm out of luck. If I drop my Droid, and it breaks, I have insurance, and I'll get a new device. I'm looking for something to simply protect the finish of the device while it's being stored, while remaining as thin and light as possible. I understand that that is NOT what everyone is looking for.

If you're looking for something that will protect your Droid from a high, hard fall, this probably is NOT the case for you. If, on the other hand, you like using your Droid naked, but do want to put it in an elegant case, for when it's stored in your pocket and/or purse, without adding bulk, this is an excellent choice.

If anyone is looking for something thin just to cover the phone when in your pocket check out Waterfield Designs

Droid Suede Jacket - Droid Sleeve - Droid Case - Milestone Sleeve - Milestone Case - Slim Droid Case - Droid Pouch - Droid Soft Case - Ultrasuede - WaterField Designs Droid Suede Jacket

I have one and I like it so far. Not much protection but great for just carrying in jeans (which is what I was looking for).

wow i just went through and read all 36 pages....:icon_eek: im thinkin about the amzer too i think the difference between the amzer and the ones off ebay is that the amzer has a hole over the prox sensor while the ebay ones do not ...im getting my droid for x-mas and i think im going to buy the amzer and maybe a leather holder and see how it works and they compare not sure about getting a screen protector or not hmmmm..

Hi,

I'm French and I just receive my Milestone (Droid) and I'm looking for a case. The Sena kutu for iphone looks great but I'm wondering if there's no a problem with the rings. I mean do you heard clearly when the phone rings?

Thx

Skin and Screen Sheilds

Just got my phone and the sales person told me to get the screen protector on right away. Being a droid myseld I quickly opened the pack of 3 and attempted to install the shield but is does not fit around my cover. SO - I need to know how to snap off the cover without damaging my phone! (I know... pretty basic)

 

[Guchi]

screen protectors are worthless for the droid it wont scratch and .5mil of plastic wont save it if you drop it. pointless

 

[mrZoSo]

I'm using an HTC leather case and it is GREAT!! Room to spare with out being too loose, completely protects the phone and has a belt clip. :icon_ banana:

Which case? Model#? Pics? Link?

TIA

Just bought the amzer case will see how it is and post back once i receive it!

Amzer Rubberized Black Snap on Crystal Hard Case For Motorola - Motorola Droid A855 - Cases - Fommy.com

 

[mbeatle]

Here are a few snapshots of the "BLACK Hard Rubber Case for Motorola Droid A855" I bought on ebay a week ago. I've never held a Seidio Innocase in my hands, but it seems to have a lot of the same features: slim form factor, soft touch rubberized coating, and no movement on phone.

The fit seems to be excellent, and while the coating is comfortable, it's not as grippy as something like the body glove case. That's good for me as I often carry my phone in my pocket and it doesn't drag my pocket completely out, though it's not as slick as a naked Droid.

I'd have to say it looks identical to the Amzer case, though without the logo. It was $6 shipped when I bought it, but it now seems to be $10. Still worth it, IMO. I don't want a logo on my case!
