No worries, please make a Verizon Combo thread =)
People will enter this thread, go to the last page and think the Seidio case is trash- and we don't want that =)

First time poster here-
I'm very interested in ordering the Seidio case, as it seems to be the best available right now. I ordered a cheaper brand before looking into Seidio, and it made sliding the keyboard EXTREMELY difficult.
I don't mind the Seidio case being slightly difficult to slide open, but I want to make sure it doesn't train the slider on the Droid to become loose. Basically, I want to make sure that when I take the case off, that the slider won't be loose and wobble around at all, since it'll be having to work its way over the clasping piece of the case (the back half)
Can anyone confirm this?

Sorry if this has been addressed already in this post, does this case also come with a screen protector, or does it only protect the screen by keeping it from taking a hit if dropped flat.

Seidio sells a screen protector, not included...I think its a clear static cling type, I'm very curious if anyone has gotten it how it compares to other screen protectors.
I don't think anyone reading the comments in this thread will think either combo is trash -- there are pros and cons stated and listed for both the seidio and verizon combos.
Sorry, too late to start a separate thread for the verizon combo ... it seems the discussion of the verizon combo might have mostly run its course for the moment. Perhaps since there is so much discussion in this thread of the verizon combo as well as the seidio combo, and comparisons of the two, perhaps the mods could change the title of the thread to seidio combo and verizon combo discussion? ... Just a thought

First of all, I can see where the dual discussion would be confusing. The suggestion to state which is being discussed was a good one. Too bad I didn't think of that from the beginning. I will no longer post to this thread so that I do not offend the Seidio fanboys. I keep an open mind when I purchase things.
Second of all, the Verizon combo case holster is not trash. It has no more problems than the Seidio case. If you don't believe that then read all the posts to this thread. I have already listed where both have an advantage over the other earlier in this thread. Again, I will not post to this thread any more so as not to offend another Seidio fanboy. As I said earlier, the Seidio case looks very nice, better than the Verizon case, but it is not perfect either.

This is a really cool pointless argument going on, but can someone answer my question?
The slider is fine. I sit at work all day and slide it open and closed with one hand/finger constantly. The only gripe i have with the case is it makes the top row of buttons a bit harder to get to. I certainly don't "hit other buttons every time" like other posters said, but you do have to angle your fingers a bit.
I assume anyone with sliding problems got a defective unit or has no idea how to install it.
I purchased the Seidio screen protector.
It is pretty stiff plastic, which does in fact stay on the Droid by static cling... no need to wet it or the Droid's screen!
If you put it on in a clean environment (I go into a bathroom, and turn the shower on hot... let the room steam up to keep dust from floating around while installing), it goes on very easily.
It also covers the entire screen... has a cut out at the top for the speaker, which is a perfect cutout.
With this screen protector and the Seidio case, your device is protected about 95%... only the chin, with the words "Verizon", and cut out areas for buttons/camera lens, etc. are left exposed.
Phone is about as thin and light as it can be, while still being protected!
Oh, last thing. With the protector on, it is clear as glass! NO orange peel effect... you really couldn't notice that a screen protector is on the device, unless you really look closely.
It does show fingerprints. They wipe off, but yea, I find myself wiping the screen pretty frequently.
The flip side is, I'm more willing to let my kids (4, 9 & 10) play games on my Droid, feeling more confident that they're not going to scratch the screen or damage the device (they're very careful, I'm just more paranoid....)
Life is a series of trade-offs....

Great info guys. I think I'm on my way to pre-order the case/holster combo. I had one of their holsters for my i760 and loved it. I bought the Verizon bombo and returned it within minutes of installing it. I found the tab defect which bugged me, but I assumed that was a single defective sample and that I could exchange it for a good one. What really set me off was the whizzing noise the case made when you slide it in and out of the holster because of the texture on the case. That would make me nuts as many times a day as my phone goes in and out of the holster.
Interestingly, what I'm using in the mean time is a holster that I got from the Verizon store that looks remarkably like it was made by Seidio. I would just keep it, but I want the Innocase to protect the phone itself.
My only reservation is waiting to see if Vaja comes out with something cool. Their stuff is mega cool, although it's a lot more expensive than Seidio. I also really like that Seidio participates in the forums and is proactive in addressing issues.

Did anyone else get an email saying that the case is backordered?
