Motorola Leather Kickstand Case

[vor]

How hard is it supposed to be to release the kickstand? I feel like if I pull any harder on this thing I'm going to break it right off

 

[vor]

Surely I'm not the only one that bought this case?

Not to ask too stupid of a question, but you are pulling on the correct side, right? It's the shorter end that folds out as the kickstand.

What do you think of the case? I was thinking of picking one up myself.

 

[vor]

Yeah, I'm pulling on the correct side

I like it a lot so far aside from not being able to use the kickstand.

Protects everything as far as setting it down etc without adding a lot of thickness. It still feels smaller than the old BB did in my pocket.

If it weren't for the leather, I'd tell you to shoot a little WD40 on it

In all seriousness, I don't have the case, but I'm glad you posted about it, because I've been considering it for when I travel and want to watch movies.

Unfortunately I have more info on the case...I was getting out of my truck last night and slipped the DX into the pocket of my slacks...or at least I attempted to The DX tumbled down my leg until the forward motion of my foot kicked it 3-4' across the asphalt

Having that sick empty feeling in my stomach (I have not yet received my Zagg Shield) I rushed over to pick it up only to find it was completely unharmed!! The case did its job and took the punishment. The leather on two of the corners has slight rips (not completely through just the top shiny surface). So I am extremely please with the case. Now a little shoe polish and I should still be able to exchange it @VZW for one with a workable kickstand.

I am very pleased with this case so far. Sometimes these snap together cases snap off when they hit the ground but this one is not going anywhere.

And about the kickstand, it works fine. Yes, it's a little hard to open up, but I would rather have it be harder to open the kickstand than have it just swing out at any time!

Can you charge it while using the kickstand?

 

[vor]

No, not unless you had it on top of a book or something to make room for the usb connection. You might have better luck with one of those 90? adapters for a couple bucks on ebay:

I love this case, it makes it so much easier to watch movies while I am at work. The kickstand itself just needs to be open and closed a dozen times or so to make it easier to open as I had a hard time first opening it. Don't know if it works with the car dock tho?

Just an FYI but I have found the lip on the kickstand makes it possible to conveniently hook it into your car vents for NAV etc
