Best case/cover for the thunderbolt?

**Just a Guy** · 07-16-2011, 10:55 PM

I am upgrading to the thunderbolt in a week and am looking at the case-mate pop! White case, but was wondering what people thought was the best case/cover. I don't want a lot of bulk so the otterbox is a no for me. Any other suggestions for little bulk, but still some protection?

I got the tb and realized I wanted the extended battery. Seidio is the only company I could find that made a descent case for it. The case I'm using is called the active extended. I also got a dock from the same company that accepts the phone with the case. It is very slim but strong and the dock is a nice way to store and charge the phone. I use my phone as a back up alarm and keep it on the night stand. When I put down all my stuff for the day and then pick it all up in the morning I'm not having to do anything extra to accommodate my phone. And I realy like the tb. It is amazing. I barely use my laptop anymore.

Its not Studio, its Seidio. I have the Seidio active extended case as well. It works very good. They also make one for the phone with the stock battery.

TB is great, but why not wait a couple of weeks for Bionic? It has LTE too

I have the Seideio Innocase II ( I think they renamed it the Surface now)) for my TBolt. But just got the HTC extended battery and ordered the Seideio Convert case extended for it. Seideio cases are the best for the money hands down. Dont waste your money on any other case.

Check them out here http://store.androidcentral.com/htc-...bolt-cases.htm
if you order them from ebay or amazon be very careful there are counterfeits out there. Just make sure they are Genuine Seideio cases before you buy.

I have the Seidio Innocase II and it's been very difficult attempting to take off the case. :/

I have a big secret solution. I discovered by acident. I bought the Verizon extended battery and needed a good case. Didn't like the ones that were open. I put into my Droid x Seido case and it fit. Truly amazing. Ancient chinese secret

I just got the Incipio (as Verizon calls it) Double Case, and I love it. It has a nice feel to it audit is very durable. Fits the phone perfect. It's two layers like the otterbox but not as bulky.

i know you dont want bulk, but otterbox is the way to go!

**aksi** · 07-17-2011, 03:01 PM

I have the Case-Mate white with grey rubber side one.
This is an awesome case. Just looking at the edge of the case, how well it fits on the phone, makes me not regret paying for this rather expensive case. So worth it.
This is the only case I've tried, but I can see how dedicated Case-mate are in this industry.
Should check out their website.
(I have nothing to do with Case-mate. I simply think that they make great products).

otter box u never have to worry about your phone again

**mman609** · 07-17-2011, 04:49 PM

I'm using a USA Gear double case on my TB. The inner plastic case fits tightly and the outer rubber cover feels secure. The price was very reasonable. No case I've seen will protect the phone from every drop or we would see some guarantees as purchasing incentives. I see the choice between multiple good cases rather than one best one out there.

Among the cases I have tried, the Seido Active and the Seido Active Extended are the best so far, imo.

**eonnx** · 07-17-2011, 06:48 PM

I have the seidio active extended case and it rocks

Does anyone have the Trident Kraken case? If so can you report on how it has held up?

I'm thinking about getting one since I'm working at a grain elevator for the next 6 months so my bolt will be subjected to lots of dust, dirt, mud, water, and probably drops. I was going to go with the otterbox defender but I don't like how the built in screen protector has gotten bad reviews and the fact that it has a hole in it by the earpiece. Pretty much defeats the whole purpose of being a "defender."
