Recieved the otterbox today for my droid. The bottom part of the case, which the phone lays in doesn't seem as "snug". Is the bottom supposed to be 100% secured onto the phone or is it designed to be where you can remove it easily? It's not to the point where it feels loose holding the phone, just if i apply a small amount of pressure as if i were about to remove it, it starts to come off quite easy.

use soap and water!
These screen protectors need to be installed differently than instructed. Add some dish soap to water, and apply ur solution to the screen and protector with your finger, then align on ur screen, use a credit card or small plastic card to squeegee out the water, after 24 hours, ur screen protector will be installed perfectly, no air bubles, and no LINT!
They didn't affect mine, but I'm not good with putting those on or they suck because i was getting little pockets of air, epsecially on the sides and the top/bottom. I ended up throwing them away, I'm pretty sure it's hard to scratch the glass on these anyways.
Grab a friend and a credit card, one hold the protector the other squeezes bubbles with the card =)
Thanks for the advice, sadly all 3 are in the bottom of my trash! I ended up getting enough off of the Multimedia Dock and Car Mount that they really ended up free, so I'm not too frustrated with it.

I got the snap-on Silicone cover for my Motorola Droid. I really like it. I had a bodyguard cover for my Voyager awhile back but I didn't like it because it made my phone a lot bigger causing it to get stuck in my pockets.
Only downside to the snap-on cover is I bought a home dock for the Droid also and I need to take my cover off to dock it correctly. Although I can just set my phone on the dock in the right position to get the multimedia screen it is tough to balance it with the charger plugged in also. I think I am going to return the multimedia dock for this reason. It is not as cool as I thought it would be.
i hope some third party company will make a dock which supports the droid with a case on it..
Seidio innocase makes a surface case thats BEAUTIFUL and VERy slim, they also sell many accessories to compliment it, such as desktop cradles, car window mounts, and holsters.
I wouldn't call not fitting into any dock or mm station a major flaw. Most cases that stay on the phone at all times don't fit in a dock. It's the nature of the beast.I have the BodyGlove case, and I love the fit...however, there are 2 MAJOR issues with it.
1. You can't fit it into any dock or mm station.
2. If you plan on taking pictures, the case gets in the way...the flash creates a nasty haze from the rubberized hole that is on the back, and the clip actually gets in the way if you don't remove it first!
These issues should be non-existent.
Though you have a point, it IS a MAJOR FLAW. If you read this thread, there are a number of complaints about this. I purchased my Body Glove when I got the phone and loved the feel of the case, and it has definitely protected it against several drops, though my battery flies out when it happens. I went to Verizon and bought the car mount and mm station, then realized it was going to be a pain in the ass. I am now looking hard at Innocase, as they have compatible case/dock/mount combination. Someone was thinking when they put this stuff together. What I'm not seeing, however, in the Innocase Surface case, is a way to attach to the hip? I'd prefer that rather than a pocket, as I don't really have pockets. Would also like to see a mount for my Harley, now that would be nice...
My Body Glove has finally bit the dust. Back side vs. front, amazingly enough. Gave the front side to my girlfriend (whose front side broke weeks ago), and I'm naked. Time for a new case... Like I say, I like the looks of the Innocase product line, but also looking at the Otterbox, as it looks nice too.

Has anyone found a decent holster That will fit a moto Droid with an otterbox case on it

In that case, why don't we just say the docks are flawed, since they don't fit phones with cases? I have read this whole thread, and to each person that says a case is flawed because it doesn't fit in a dock I laugh at the silly nature of such a comment. The only thing that is flawed is the logic that a case that is meant to have some substance to protect a phone should somehow fit into a dock that is sized to fit a naked phone. :icon_ devil: Let me know when we figure out how to make matter, that takes up space, fit where there is no space for it to take up.
For the seidio products, I don't think any of the innocases come with a clip but you could purchase a holster or a leather belt case that will fit your naked droid or a droid in an innocase. Seidio has it going on with their cases and docking products to accomodate phones with the cases and/or the larger batteries.
DO NOT BUY the Kutu Droid Case. I thought that Sena was shipping quality leather products; however, it is merely cardboard with leather glued on to make it appear somewhat usable. After less than 3 months of use, the Kutu Droid case falls apart near the edges. My last case started coming apart on both sides making it aesthetically undesirable and incredibly annoying. I even got shipped a free replacement because of this issue (good customer service, horrid product). At this point, I'd much rather have my $45 back than another case.

I would rather have the money back rather than having another case that has the potential of breaking apart..;;:icon_evil:
I originally had the Body Glove.. Broke on me after taking it on and off VERY RARELY for less than a month.. Decided to do some research and got myself a Sedio Innocase, That lasted a good bit of time, 3 months or so before it too began to break. My current case (And IMO, best of all of them) is the Otterbox. It looks nice, feels nice, and is REALLY easy to take on and off. Its a silicone casing that absorbs shock covered by a rediculously hard plastic outer coating that hooks into the silicone. I've dropped it, taken it off time and time again, and its been holding up like new without any sort of a problem.
And when i say rediculously hard plastic.. Squeesing it at the weakest points it BARELY moves.

Hmm, that has not been my experience at all. I got my sena kutu in i guess january and it has held up very well.
hard 2 piece+screen protection
I didn't even pull the plastic off screen last week on Droid2. Went to a couple verizon stores and they didnt have any yet so i got zagg for droid @ bestbuy for about $22 :icon_eek: . . Realized the zagg had some sort of liquid involved in application Boo! Found a verizon store that had some of the screen protectors they have for about $12 and the rep put it on for me just the same as they done my Eris. That same protector is on it to date and u would have to be looking hard for it, to notice. Went with a snap on hard gel type case, it fits very clean and snug. My experiences with the accesories they sell are great so farfar. Anyway, hard gel snap on is sweet on droid 2. . . And they put my protector on perfectly.

Otter Skin FTW
I've the Otter Skin on my Moto Droid 1 for about a week and this thing is a champ. It's a bit pricey ($35 bucks or so) but the silicone and plastic together seem to fit well. The only complaints I have with it are in the headphone jack. Because the silicone fits so well on the phone, when opening the flaps that protect the ports, it seems that unless well broken in, they attempt to fold back into place. The screen layer easily sealed itself onto the touch screen and I have seen zero change in sensitivity or performance. The plastic is probably one of the highest quality I have seen, although it does not have a holster connection. Overall, this skin is very heavy duty and the silicone seal actually makes it a little more impervious to water damage than nekkid or other skins I have seen. If you haven't checked one out, I suggest trying it seeing as everyone has different needs. I happen to be rough on phones so I only purchased it because of it's heavy duty plastic and screen protector. Good buy overall
