My very first post....
I did a ton of research on cases for my new Droid, and you guys pointed me in the direction of the Seidio case. I ordered the blue case on a Sunday night, came in on Wednesday morning. I saw pictures of the gold colored one earlier in the thread. Kind of wish i would have went for that one instead. I think the gold would have created more of a WOW factor when others see it. The blue is a bit muted, but sophisticated. Much like the Droid itself.
Quick thoughts:
Easy to slip on/slip off
Unlike others, I do seem to feel a bit more friction when sliding out the keyboard. Hopefully this doesn't cause a problem down the line.
I thought it would be slim enough to fit on the MM dock, but it doesn't. This isn't a real problem for me, I don't use the dock as much as I thought I would.
The case has a bit of a "stickum" feel to it. Makes it less likely to slip out of my hands, so I like that. Not gummy or rubbery, just a bit of grip. It also doesn't seem to collect a lot of lint when in my pocket.
Love how sleek it is. Glad I got the raised Seidio logo rather than the painted.
This entire post sums up my thoughts about the case.
Ordered the Sapphire Blue case, just got it and fit it on my Droid when I got home a few minutes ago.
The color is definitely not as vibrant as I was hoping for. I was toying with it in my kitchen with bright lights, and found that the case almost looked
black in bright light. But now that I'm up in my bedroom, where the only light is a darker, natural light from outside (hurray, snowstorm.), I can more clearly see the contrast between the blue of the case and the black of the Droid. And I have to say, it's beginning to grow on me quickly. But at the same time, I kind of wonder what the gold would have been like. It definitely seems as though it would have more of a *POW* first effect on someone. But, like meek_reese said, the dark blue has a more sophisticated feel towards it. So I'm not all that upset there.
However... a few minutes ago, I opened my physical keyboard, and saw something I did not like one bit...
Looks like a few scratches/imperfections right above the screen. I didn't notice them until I opened the physical keyboard, and then the white light from the notification bar illuminated them better.
I'm not sure if I should bother to contact Seidio about it or not. On the one hand, it was a $30 case. On the other hand, they're really minute little imperfections, and I'm really not one to go complaining about something so small. It just kind of looks bad when the light from the screen hits it and illuminates it! x_x
Other than that issue, I am
very happy with the case. Droid + Seidio Case fits in my pocket just as the Droid by itself did (By far, this was the most important thing for me. I keep my wallet and my cell phone in my front-left pocket, and I would have been very unhappy if there would have been any problem fitting it in there afterwords.). The color, as said before, isn't quite as vibrant as I thought it would have been, but it does have a sophisticated look. And, I guess it makes sense... I'd rather pay $30 for a sophisticated-looking item than something that looks like it came out of a checkout display at Hot Topic.
tl;dr: Case works great, couple scratches I'm not thrilled about, color not as bright as I thought, but definitely looks nice. Worth every penny.
