Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Based on reviews of Seidio's Innocase Surface Case for Motorola DROID, I was excited to get this product for my new Droid X and even ordered it directly from Seidio for the full retail price (because they had them in stock sooner). There are nice aspects to the case/holster pair, but the case that I got won't stay together very well. I don't know if that's because of quality or design.
First, what I like about the pair:
- The case has a nice feel to the exterior surfaces. It feels comfortable and soft, and it gives good grip.
- The holster and case fit snugly together, and I haven't noticed any wiggle at all.
- The belt clip. One of the big reasons that I got it, as I love the convenience of being able to quickly put on and take off accessories.
- The added piece of mind that I won't scratch up my phone when I carry it around or have it in my car.
Now, what I don't like about the design/quality:
- The case that I received has a critical flaw in that the left edge doesn't stay rigidly connected. With the touch screen, it's pretty often that I'm swiping my fingers from side to side. Therefore, my fingers will bump into the raised edges of the case around the screen. On the left side, the connection between the two halves of the case is loose, so that edge moves around and begins to separate when I touch it. I find that annoying. I don't know if this is a quality issue or a design flaw.
- The initial fit and finish of the case edges weren't very good. They were sharp and jagged in places. After rubbing them with my fingernails for a bit, they did smooth out. For fifty dollars, though, I expected better.
- This may be an aspect of any case for the Droid X, but I don't like how the front buttons are harder to push because of how close the case edges are to the buttons. So, perhaps not a cut against this product, but just a comment for those looking at getting a case for the Droid X.
- The top clip on the holster doesn't seem to fully open and stay open. Honestly, this might be me not knowing how to use it properly, but it feels like mine will break if I try to open it any further. Assuming it won't snap open, the clip is spring loaded and naturally moves to the closed position - which is perfect once the phone is inside. When inserting or removing the phone, though, the touch screen faces the clip, and the clip could hit the screen if it slips loose from your fingers. If you're careful, it should be fine, though.
Based on DroidBoy's review that his case also won't stay together, there might be some quality/design issues for Seidio to work out. I'll be contacting Seidio to see if I can get a replacement.
