Anybody have a good case for their Rev? I'm looking for one that is pocket friendly, as in easy to slide into and out of a pocket. I've been looking around and not finding anything that looks real good, so I thought I would see what the rest of you have, if anything.

Thanks!
 
I"m interested to hear what others have used as well. I am thinking about purchasing the extended battery but and having trouble finding a holster specifically that will work with the extended battery.. Thanks
 
I'm thinking that since the phone is still so new, that nobody has anything they really love yet. I still have no case and its only a matter of time until I drop the darned thing! I may have to buy something cheap to hold me over until I find something I really like.
 
Stay away from the Body Glove case w belt clip. The clip is too small to completely fasten to anything but a very thin belt. U can take off the clip and it has a piece that converts that back of the case to make it flush. but it feels kinda bulky and ruins the feel of what I think is a beautiful looking phone. But it was all I could find and I needed something...
 
I looked at the Body Glove and decided that the detachable clip would annoy me, so I passed. Still haven't found one yet. Has anyone tried the Verizon case with belt holster? I don't want the belt clip but the case looks low profile.
 
I was wanting to try the Verizon case, my friend has the same kind of case for the Droid X and it fits perfect, very low profile ... barely even notice it has a case on it. Only thing I'm not sure about is the kickstand, the case for the X doesn't have that, worried it might make the case seem to bulky.
 
Be sure to come back and let us know what you think of it. I might pick it up today as well, so if I do I'll post my observations too.
 
I'm planning on picking up verizon's case/holster combo next week.

I've had it for about a week now and I must say I like it. Can't say much about the holster part really as I'm not much of a holster user, yet I found it odd that the clip doesn't rotate at all. Although for all I know, that may be standard with holsters now a days.

The case itself feels sturdy and has a nice textured grip. It fits securely on the phone, although it is a bit difficult to take off if you need access to the battery door. The case only protects the back and the 2 sides of the phone, as it leaves the front along with the top and bottom of the phone open. It has a generous sized hole of the left side for easy access to the usb door for charging and has one big hole on the right for access to the volume rocker and the hdmi door. The back of the case has a nice big hole for both the back speaker and the camera(and led flash). There is also a small round hole on the back for the back microphone. My favorite part of the case is the small triangular shaped kickstand that folds out of the back of the case. The kickstand works great for horizontal viewing, but occasionally tips over if used to prop the phone up vertically. The snap on case maintains a surprisingly low profile considering the fact that it contains a fold out kickstand.

If you're like me and looking for a case with a kickstand, then I think that Verizon's official shell/holster combo is a great pick up. If a kickstand isn't that important to you, then I think there are probably better 3rd party cases out there. The kickstand is really the only thing that sets this shell apart from other cases.

The clip does rotate. It's tough to rotate though, which is a good thing I think. The phone doesn't spin around when it's clipped to your belt that way.

Thanks for the clarification. My inability to realize that it actually does rotates goes to show how little I actually played around with the belt clip portion.
 
I have some cases that I need product reviews for. Please call me if you are interested in writing a review. My number is 865-200-6368 thx
 
I contacted Otterbox to ask them when they would be releasing a case for the revolution and I was told that they have no plans to produce one, however the costumer service rep said that he would submit a request on my behaf.
