FWIW, the case was only made available a couple days ago. Give it a couple days. It looks really good though. I hope it's just a slim fit and won't be so thick.

I just got mine and its really nice. I will be using it over my innocase II. I took a few photos of it in comparison to the innocase. The pop is not much bigger and it has a great feel to it. The power button is a little harder to hit but I am getting used to it. The photos are in the link below.

Thanks for the pics.

The inner surface is the same gray rubber one piece material that you see on the sides right? It is a bigger case then? What about its weight?
Anyway, thanks again for the pics. I really like how it looks compare to the Seidio.

Yeah the rubber on the inside is the same as the outside. To me the case looks slightly bigger but it is well worth it. I can't really tell a difference in size between the 2.

The case is really light. I have retired my innocase for the pop. I usually don't use cases on my phones but this one does not add too much bulk and has a great feel. With the innocase it was such a tight fit I was kind of afraid the hard plastic would scratch my phone. With the pop nothing but the soft rubber touches the phone.

How do you install it? Is it just a simple tuck in effort where the phone is held in place by the rubber rim?

 

[moondrius]

Pretty much. You just slide it in like any other 1 piece case.

I'm soooo tempted to buy this case. Did you get a deal on it? or did you pay the full retail $35?

I received mine today also. It is a very nice case, but one thing is really annoying - the power button is way too hard to press on and off. If they had put a cut out for the button rather than covering it up like Seidio did with the Surface then this case would be perfect.

 

[moondrius]

Yeah the power button is the only bad part but it seems to be getting a little more sensitive with some use. I used the code CM02-AR20 for 20% off. Not sure if it still works but it took off around $7.

 

[R0ss]

code still works! Thanks...

Does the phone move around in the case at all? I hate the silicone style cases that seem to flex as you manipulate the device...

I might pick this one up as well...

 

[moondrius]

The phone does not move around in the case. The case is solid on the outside and only flexes to let the phone in. The rubber sides flex a little but the rest of the case is rock solid.

Trying to decide between Black or White. Black looks like a matte/low gloss black vs a shiny white. Decision, decisions.

The case looks very nice. How hard is it to take the phone out of the case? Thank you for the info.

 

[wlong99]

haha... i got the pink one for my wife.... i really like the white one

I ordered one today, it will arrive tomorrow. I am returning the Verizon case I bought, I just don't like the over all two piece design they offer. Hopefully a case will come out to support the extd battery so I can add that back on.

I know the cradle is not out yet but anyone know if the cradle will work with this case on the phone?

Got mine today. It reminds me A LOT of Speck's candyshell cases. (known for the iPhone version, but they make ones for the Dinc too) The candyshell was one of my favorite iPhone cases, so I'm going to love this case.

It does add a little more bulk than some of the other cases, but you get a bunch more protection with it. Overall, a pretty great case.
