BEST CASE?

**Littleairjordan1** · 03-20-2011, 07:42 PM

What is the BEST case for the Thunderbolt? Im interested in a rubber but hard case, not the jelly ones

**TCUHornedFrog** · 03-20-2011, 07:53 PM

Seidio Innocase II and nothing else is even close.

I agree but the platinum cases that you can buy from best buy are very good. They also made by seidio which is nice but you get a holster and case for about 30 bucks which is cheaper the ordering from seidio.

Is it correct to assume that Platinum and Seidio Innocase II are exactly the same?

Anyone know if the Seido Active X series is made from the same soft-touch material as the Platinum/Innocase?

I stopped by a local BB and the ones they are selling are not quite a nice or fit a good as the Seidio ones.

Just received my Seidio Innocase II Surface - Black case yesterday, and is by far the best thing out. It is slim, and does not impede anything on the phone. I had a Seidio Innocase for for Droid Inc., and now for my TB. I did not even hesitate to buy this case. The best case made in my opinion. Not to bulky velvet inside and soft matte black outside. Will try to post some pics soon, at work now.

I like the Verizon gel clear the best. Have one on my DC as well.

QFT. Got mine a week before the phone came out, and had it on since I brought my phone home. It's a great case and has a great feel. Buy from Amazon if you do buy it, especially if you have Prime -- the Siedio site is a ripoff ($30 + tax + $7 shipping... ugh, come on!)! It's only like $24 from Amazon, so you'll save like $10-15.

I ordered the Active X case which is suppose to ship this coming Monday for my standard battery...
I also ordered the extended battery (2750mAh) from Verizon which should be here Monday. I contacted Trident case earlier this week

- [I sent you all an e-mail somewhere around the first of this month and was wondering if you all have a case for the HTC Thunderbolt in the making? Also, will you be making an extended battery version of this case? Verizon has a 2750mAh battery for this phone, however it is fugly and they don't even carry a case to accommondate this battery... Thanks] - Here is their response

-[Yes and yes. Our first case for the Thunderbolt is a few weeks away. We will have an extended battery case shortly after that. Sorry I don’t have a more specific timeframe for you, but both products are definitely coming.] -

At this point it's hurry up and wait to see which company Seidio or Trident releases a case for the extended battery for me....

I like the BB platinum case and holster as well. Owned an inocase ii before for another phone and I can't tell any difference between the BB branded one and the seidio.

**jrm390** · 03-25-2011, 04:20 PM

I got the Innocase II combo with the holster for $39 from Amazon.

Very Very happy with it.

**httr** · 03-25-2011, 04:33 PM

I was in BB the other day. Don't know if it was just the one I looked at or what, but the Platinum case did not fit properly (seam on the side would not align correctly). Would drive me nuts so I didn't get it.

**tony bag o donuts** · 03-25-2011, 04:38 PM

I don't like seidio at all anymore...

Casemate is the best. I use a barely there on my DINC
but here is what they have for the TB:

There's a thread in this subforum with people who are pretty happy with their Pop! case purchase. Include pics as well.

Second that. Purchased these for my last three phones

I just didn't like how Seidio said that adding a bit of padding would solve the evo issues last summer. That REALLY turned me off.

**elai1108** · 03-26-2011, 01:38 PM

I am using the Amzer TPU case which works really well. It's a soft and sturdy plastic and forms to the phone extremely well with no shifting. The grip is quite good and will not slip out of your hand.

For under $10 you can't go wrong! You can find this on eBay also.

So after this, the gf bought me the platinum case from BB and brought it to me this afternoon.

Have to say that this one fits much better and I will probably keep it, at least for now.

I bought this case for $8.95 from tpu-cases.com.

I'm very happy with it. It doesn't add much bulk at all (in fact, it is quite thin), it has all of the proper cutouts, and I think it would protect the phone well if I dropped it (knock on wood).

Before I bought the above TPU case from tpu-cases.com, I ran the TPU case made by HTC:

The HTC case is quite a bit thicker, and oddly enough, it did not have the cutout above the camera flash for those two little holes, nor did it have the cutout under the speaker for that rubber circle. I called HTC and asked them why their case didn't have the cutouts, and they had no explanation. My external speaker didn't sound as good with the HTC case on, so I'm thinking that the rubber circle and small holes above the flash may have acoustic importance in addition to possible RF purposes. Also, with the HTC case, some of my monoprice.com USB cables were difficult to plug in.

So, the cheaper case from tpu-cases.com is way better IMO.

Thanks Guys. I think I'm going to go with the Innocase II. I appreciate all of your responses. Any tips on screen protectors? I want one that has a snug fit and doesn't take away too much from the beauty of he screen. Is invisible shield the best? *I think its called invisible shield?

**cadzilla74** · 03-27-2011, 01:21 AM

I just picked up the $29.95 case they sell at the Verizon stores. Decent looking, non-slip rubber feel, belt clip that flips over and pops out as a kick stand and an extra plug-type piece so you can take the belt clip off and plug the clip's mounting hole with it. I get a 23% discount on everything through my company's purchase plan deal with Verizon so it was only $25 with the tx. All in all quite a decent offering.

Not really sure who actually makes the case from Best Buy, but I got the fifty dollar case, and I think it was one of the best investments I could have made. I was looking at getting a Otterbox case whenever they came out with one for it, but this works for me. Put a Zagg Invisishield on first, then the 3 parts of the case, along with the holster, I fell pretty good about what I have.

Could it be rocketfish? I know with the palm cases they would scratch the devices up pretty bad.
