I REALLY wish they'd just get a date on the Active release.

I'm half tempted to get the Surface and get the Rugged "addon" when it's released. But I'm just not sure I want the heft of the Rugged.

Nice! Are you ordering one? I had one for my 3gs and it was top notch. Take some pics if you get one!

Edit: Billk, I always see you talking about the active series. What do they have that you like so much?

I'm going to order a silicone skin to hold me over. I too am waiting for the Active.

I like that it's a layer of silicone first wrapped with the hard/rubberized plastic like the Surface has - and it has a holster. It also covers the buttons (similar to an Otterbox) - but it's not nearly as hefty as an Otterbox or the Seidio Rugged.

I always liked the regular Surface but I wanted covers over the buttons - which the active has. The Rugged adds in covers over all the open ports (like Otterbox) but it's 3 layers thick rather than just 2 like the Active.

Having had an Otterbox Defender on my iPhone - I liked it alot - but it WAS big and heavy and I'm just afraid the Rugged will be too much like that - while the Active seems to be a perfect blend of the Surface and Rugged.

You're crazy.... They look the same! Maybe I am just dumb. I'm still holding for the rugged or otterbox.

If you buy a Innocase Surface - you can get an "addon" for it to turn it into a Rugged once it's released.

1 layer solution = Innocase Surface = 1 plastic shell - all ports/camera, buttons exposed by cutouts

2 layer solution = Active = 1 silicone wrap covered by a snap on plastic shell - ports/camera exposed by cutouts - buttons covered by silicone wrap layer.

3 layer solution = Rugged = 1 plastic shell (Surface) covered by larger silicone wrap covered by snap on plastic shell - all ports/camera, buttons covered by silicone plugs.

How's the feel?

I have the VZ carbon fiber case and I don't like how smooth it is. It feels slippery sometimes.

I love the feel of the Seidio stuff - it's hardshell with a semi-soft rubbery (but not sticky like silicone) feel. Slides in and out of pockets nice w/o picking up tons of lint like a silicone case does.

I was holding out for the Active as well. Rethinking the Innocase since I like the cutouts for the buttons. The DX camera button is a bit of a pain under the silicone case. Are the ports covered by a "plug" on the active?

I don't believe the Active covers ports - just bottons (power, volume, camera in the X's case) - only the Rugged covers ports (headphone, hdmi, usb)

I was concerned about the camera button on the Active as well - but now that I am using Vignette (touch screen) for my camera - it's a non-issue for me. A Seidio guy on their Facebook page did tell me that they're aware of the funky'ness of the X's camera button and are addressing it in the Active (maybe the cover opens up or something) - who knows.

I guess Vignette would remove the need to use the shutter button. Has anyone received their Innocase Combo yet? How is the fit? Do the tabs seem like they will hold up better than on the BB Tour? I noticed they added a slot for using a coin to remove the case. Is the clip holster as big as the Verizon model?

Just got mine today. The fit is great, I had a similar problem with the one for my Storm, but I think its cause I kept taking it off to pull the battery. Now that I have a Droid X, I can't see any reason why I would take it off. The holster is much nicer than the Verizon model, but a bit bigger because it holds the phone with the case (I'm assuming you are talking about the spring clip holster from Verizon).

For the people who bought the Surface case, is the cutout for the camera lens and flash fine? Looking at the pics on the Seidio website, it almost looks like its overlapping it a bit, especially when you compare it to the pics of the Active. I just assumed maybe the pic wasn't quite accurate.

Can't wait till we get real world pictures of the 3 lines of both Seidio and Otterbox

Must just be the picture on the site cause mine is fine!

 

[jessica054]

Okay, thanks! But it's not just me right? In the picture, it looks like the "H" in HD is just barely making it.

 

[jessica054]

For those who have ordered it or are planning to order it, are you going to order from Seidio or Amazon? Amazon is cheaper... but sometimes I just feel safer getting directly from the manufacturer. What do you think?

 

[jessica054]

I'm probably just going to get it from Amazon... as long as it's the same exact product, I don't care.

 

[MRP2008]

I ordered it directly from Seidio, but that is before I know that they sold it on Amazon for less. Next time I will get from Amazon.
