Cases....what a journey. The "finding the right case, car dock, desk dock & holster (and God forbid getting an extended battery)" and getting them to all work together has always been such a hassle.
Buy a great phone, buy a case. Get an extended battery, need a new case (and holster). Buy a car dock and / or desk dock, need to take the case off (sometimes put the regular battery in).
Then go online and try to find other phone car docks, etc. that might work with your Frankenstein extended battery case.......finally get just right and then you buy a new phone.....arghhh!!!
Fast forward...now most of the newer phones do not have a replaceable battery nor offer an extended (one down), most car docks are becoming universal and are made to accept cases (two down).
Wireless charging has solved the desk dock issue (three down)
Seidio now offers their "Active" and "Convert" which are larger and will usually accommodate larger cases, some expensive testing required (four down).
On my S3 I used an aluminum bumper (made the phone huge), found that the Seidio Active holster worked as well as the S3 iBolt car dock (had to file the inside a little).....phew! What an ordeal.
After my third S3 switched to the DNA....here we go again.
Now using the red Seidio surface and holster. Also using the DNA specific but really it's HTC universal iBolt car dock.
Done, so much easier these days.
Also, someone asked about the Surface holster and if it would work with other cases....I don't think it will. The surface case is very thin at the bottom and just fits into the holster.
I tried a silicone and off brand hard case and neither would work.
