Hey guys I thought I'd create a thread for different cases for us Canadian folk.
Thanks to Ronindan's recommendations i picked up a Case-Mate Tough last night from the Bell store.
Obviously this case is for the Bell Vibrant but it fits the Fascinate perfectly. The only downside as mentioned was the screen protector which has a cutout for the home button. I havent installed this yet but will once the kids are in bed. (will be done in steamy bathroom to minimize dust etc, but never tried this method in the past)
That being said case is nice and well built. Much nicer than those cheesy skins you can buy.
Pros:
- nice design
- Fits nice and snug
- seems like it will protect phone "fairly decently"
- when set face down phone doesnt tend to slip around too much due.to the design where the silicone is exposed around frame
Cons:
- power/lock button is a little too flush with side of case making it a bit of a pain sometimes to quickly lock phone
- back is a little too slippery for me but some will prefer this. I will modify and report back on this
- not 100% tough i suspect. To acheive this I believe this would come at a cost of added bulk, mabe they will come out with a "super tough" version
All in all I think ill stick with this for a while. Havent seen anything better for me in three stores (BB, FS, Wallymart etc)
Ill.update this.post if I have some more thoughts to add, right now though i have 2 diapers to change booo
