So when I first received the new Seidio Convert Case, I was pretty excited. I thought it couldnt get any better then the Active case Seidio makes but I was wrong, dead wrong. The Convert case is practically two cases in one. It?s a Seidio Surface, with an add on silicone inlay that goes over that, and then an exoskeleton that goes over that. O and if that isn?t enough, you?re getting a waist clip, which your phone goes into for easy access, and a Seidio Screen Guard. Providing the maximum in protection, this case makes the Otterbox weep in shame. I used the case as a the Surface case first for a day, and it is great, its light weight, easily removed and provides just the right amount of protection for the light weight and little size it adds to your phone.
The silicone overlay, covers all the ports to the phone, headphone jack, speakerphone, and volume rocker. The only access that is open to the elements is the screen and camera toggle switch. Even the back cameras are protected by a silicone cover, that covers the cameras while not using and while in use, can be clipped into the case, keeping it from moving around. Now I know most people have problems accessing the ports, while the are covered, but these port covers have little grips on the outside so you can easily pull them up from covering the ports themselves, this makes access extremely easy and quick. Now my biggest gripe with the Otterbox is that the covers for the ports always ripped or tore off within the first week, but with Seidios silicone there is no sign of ripping or tearing in sight, which is a major plus! This only confirms in my mind the quality of Seidio?s products.
The waist clip/holster is another bonus, once the phone is clipped into the holster, you can lock it in, so no matter what you cant unlock it, providing you with the comfort that the phone isn?t going to pop out, like so many of my phones have down before. This clip, on top of the surface, silicone and convert skeleton makes this case the most rugged and provides the most protection, the best of both worlds.
The screen guard on the phone, which no matter what, I always buy for my phones, is amazing as well. Clear and smooth as glass. Covers the whole screen including the four home buttons on the bottom, which the Sprint OEM guards don?t do. I really like how the screen guard covers the whole screen, because unlike most cases, the whole screen is open for use, none of it is covered from the case itself.
Since using this case, I have dropped my phone twice and unlike other people?s reviews on the Convert case for other phones, the exoskeleton is still in tack with no sign of abuse. My phone is completely scratch free, like I expected it to be.
However, after that, I used it as the Convert, and have been for the past week, and I will never use another case. Although, the only two down sides that I have with this case is that it adds a little bit of size and weight to the phone. But for the amount of protection you?re getting in return, it?s a fair and well worth trade. The second downside, which isn?t even that big, but, should be noted is that the silicone inlay does attract a little bit of lent, while in the pocket. besides that, I really see no downside to this case.
I would have to say after using this case; I would give it a 9.9/10. And would highly recommend it to anyone I know!
