So I'm the type of techno-junkie that always has to have the latest and greatest of most things. Unfortunately, with phones these days that means new ones come out very fast making the older one obsolete pretty quickly.
My main concern is always protecting these devices. Im a pretty active user of my phones all day long and they are always getting thrown in a pocket or console(in the car) or on a desk and I need them to stay....pretty.
One of the companies I always go to when it comes to protecting my devices is Seidio. They have been around quite a while now and usually always have products out around release time for that device. When I knew I was getting my X, I reached out to Seidio to pre-order a cover and clip.
I have been using my HTC One-X for almost two weeks now and one of the things I love about it is its physical design. Taking a moment to really appreciate the curves all around the phone and the construction capabilities of the molded plastic is incredible. One of my fears when putting a case on would be that I was going to lose those aesthetics.
I received my case and clip yesterday in the mail. I had ordered the blue color for the case as it was a color I was using on my previous Skyrocket and loved it. Not to be let down again, this is really a cool looking case. The blue is almost metallic in color and the feel of the case is grippy while still being able to slide in and out of jeans without pulling lint. Also, its grippy enough to feel like I've got a good hold on this mini-monitor in my hands.
As usual, the construction of the case is two pieces. You slide the top part on first and then the bottom connects with a click. The phone is then well surrounded on all sides and even front and back. I feel comfortable laying the phone down either way and nothing will be affected. One new thing to a Seidio case(for me) is how they created buttons in the case that cover the "power" and "volume" keys. Usually there is a cutout like there is over the USB port. However, I can see that they used these integrated buttons in order to retain the look of the original One-X design. The only thing is really getting used to pressing these buttons as they dont give any feedback that you have actually activated the button. Small trade-off I suppose for some fashion over form. Overall it isn't hard to use them as long as you're looking at the screen to make sure what you want is being done.
So yes, this brings me to the critical part of - How does the case look on the phone? Well, its absolutely awesome. As you can see in the pictures below, the case follows the sexy curves without making it look like theres a full case on there. If I had gotten the case in black, nobody would know there was a case on it unless they held it, its that good.
Ill be using the case in the clip while at work throughout the coming week(and as long as I own this phone) so if its anything like my previous Skyrocket case and clip, it will be very comfortable to use.
At the end, I am once again satisfied that Seidio has come through with a winner of a case. It doesn't make the phone too bulky and it offers as much protection as I would need it to. The materials and fit and finish are first rate and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone here.
