Official Seidio Active-X Case Picture/Review Thread

Solid as can be for me. No wobble or flexing like I had with my Surface. Even the screen frame doesn't move.

**BlackHawkA4** · 10-22-2010, 09:34 AM

Sounds good to me. Just ordered one.

Edit: Just checked beta's Photobucket album and it appears that it does not interfere, thanks for all those pics beta, will be ordering one of these.

No not at all.

This one being rubber is different. If you get yourself some felt dots the ones they use for the bottom of lamps and ash trays and apply them to the inside of the surface case it tightens it up just fine.

Thanks for the idea. I like that one. I was using paper to shim the corners which worked otter decent as well.

Well mine finally got here today. Shipping took much longer then expected but its here.

I am very pleased with the case. I switched from Nextel and had a Motorola i580 (rugged phone) and was worried what my normal use would do to my new phone. After installing the case I feel much more comfortable carrying it around for everyday use.

I would recommend this case to anyone and everyone.

**BlackHawkA4** · 10-25-2010, 04:28 PM

In still waiting on mine. In queens. hopefully it leaves before tomorrow morning and gets put out for delivery tomorrow I am off.

Do you feel comfortable dropping the phone as of it were your nextel with this case on?

Although it doesn't offer as much protection. I usually order a "Surface II" for whatever phone I have, and a case from otterbox, (if they make one) for when I'm out and about. I've spoken with a rep from Otterbox, and they assure me they will be making a commuter series and impact series case for the epic.

Well I hate to quote myself but........LOL OK. So I ordered a combo last Wednesday. Payed for overnight shipping. Still didn't have it by Friday, called customer service and they tell me "Oh. We're sorry the order was canceled. No, we're not sure why that happened." Mind you I'd been charged the $67.00. I say OK, well lets re-order, what else can I do. I re-order, then they tell me OH, it's on back order. So sorry, you wont have it till the middle of next week At the earliest." AFTER THEY CHARGED ME AGAIN!!!! SO, now I've paid for two cased I don't have. Well, I did manage to get the first charge cleared off my card. SO, Much like I said. The product is AWESOME. The customer service SUCKS! I went and ordered a nice leather case from Amazon for $1.49 + shipping, and had it the next day. LOL.

I've been eyeballing this case for weeks now, and in fact me and my wife are arguing over who gets the blue one!

However, I switch batteries almost daily, and am concerned with the having to remove/reinstall the case like that......does it appear that there may be any negatives to doing constant battery swaps? Specifically, damage to the phone or case?

**capitaltpt** · 10-26-2010, 09:24 PM

I'm getting a free one from the Epic's facebook contest. Can't wait!

**BlackHawkA4** · 10-27-2010, 08:00 PM

AMAZING! Just put mine on. I should have ordered this one before I got the innocase. I was debating and ended up with the other one in hopes for the rugged to come out soon.

This is perfect! (I do wish it did lock the keyboard closed though. They should deff make a secondary bezel and exo skeleton that lock together.)

The case is NOT loose what so ever like the surface. It feels like a BRICK. It's smooth around the edges unlike the surface which had all the cut outs. The front bezel is thicker and deeper too.

The only thing with the surface case that's a problem when putting it in: the clip. It fits snug at the bottom and doesn't wobble like the surface. The top of the phone doesn't fit inside the clip; but, it does clip around. I think if you shave down the ridge in the clip a little it would fit a bit better.

I love it.

Not sure if it was said either; but: if any one was wondering (like I was) the exoskeleton goes through holes into the rubber skin and is what clips onto the phone.

**ragnarokx** · 10-30-2010, 05:20 PM

I'm very impressed with this case - looks, fit, size. It even got here in 5 days with regular shipping

**BlackHawkA4** · 10-31-2010, 12:49 AM

I some to soon about not dropping my phone. Dropped it in the parking lot with this case on. Again, Amazing. I got some scratches on the plastic. Nothing serious. Def protects the phone. I want even worried after I dropped it. didn't even make a got wrenching nice when it dropped. I knew by the sound it was fine

**snarf77** · 10-31-2010, 07:46 PM

where is the blue or red one?

**IZZY Dead** · 11-17-2010, 08:31 PM

I received my Seidio Active -X- today. I ordered it off of Amazon from the (MY GEAR STORE). I received it in 3 days CA-TX (standard FREE shipping). I couldn't be happier. Otterbox you really dropped the ball this time because after not producing a Epic 4G case in time and experiencing the fit and quality of the Seidio, I doubt you can win me back.........

**GrooveRite** · 11-23-2010, 10:28 PM

Any updates on how this case is working out for everyone? Is everyone so far happy with their cases or are there underlying problems we should be aware of? I like to know before I drop the $50+tax on this thing, lol!

**BlackHawkA4** · 11-23-2010, 11:00 PM

Love it. Well worth it. My front bezel got a little loose on one side. It isn't always though. Not sure why it does that. Probably has something to do from dropping it on pavement though. Still doesn't wobble like the surface when it does.

The only real complaint I have is the amount of dust that gets trapped on the screen because if the raised bezel. Nothing you could do about that though without losing protection. Trade off.

5 stars though.

**Atlienzz** · 12-31-2010, 03:20 PM

The blue active x is now available on the seido website. I just ordered the case only and not the holster, I don't see myself ever using the holster.

Plus if you use the coupon code NEW5 at checkout you get $5 off. So I should be receiving my new Saphire Blue active x case next week for $25!!

Edit:

BTW there is free shipping at seido, I believe that ends today.

**cordoni** · 12-31-2010, 03:30 PM

I have looked at this many times. My main concern is the clip on the holster catching on something and dropping my phone on the ground. How is the clip?

It's about dang time! I've only been waiting for this dang thing since Sept!

And your correct about the code expiring. I'm gonna wait to order tomorrow after I have a chance to hit them up about getting a new code since THEY made me miss out on all the others.......

**GrooveRite** · 01-01-2011, 02:13 PM

DANG!! I already ordered the black active x case from Amazon a week ago. Should be getting it by the 4th of January. I hope Seidio will be offering the blue exoskeleton piece for people with other colors. That would be nice of them!

Hit up the site retail me not for codes. That's what I did for the NEW5 code. There's others out there if you spend $50 or order two or more items.

For those who are wondering the site still says the burgundy is in development. The black and blue are the only options for active x right now. They have both colors in the combo holster available for $50.

I did......tried 4 or 5 different codes, and every one of them said they expired at midnight Dec. 31.
