[Q] Seidio Active X Hybrid Case

Anyone purchase one of these yet? Looks good but company pictures just don't do any real world justice. $19 with free shipping on eBay is a great deal, but i'd rather keep the $19 in my pocket if the case isn't as good as it looks. That being said, with the new Otterbox cases "coming soon," I would rather make sure this is worth it before taking the bait.
Thanks in Advanced,
Rob

from the back that looks like the seidio rugged case I had on my nexus. The case in photos looks good but I dont care for the part at the top.

looks really bulky.....

I bought that for my husband and he really likes it. It completely covers the buttons on the sides so that takes a little getting used to but he needed something a bit sturdier and this looks like it should do the trick. We haven't dropped it intentionally though.

Questions:
According to the website, there's an option to purchase this case with the Holster combo for $50......there's also an option to get it WITHOUT the holster for only $30. As mentioned earlier, the website/ pictures at seidoonline.com does NOT do justice to its almost unclear as to what items are included.
Q1: Did you buy this with or without the Holster?
Q2: Regardless of Holster or not, does the package ALSO include the actual Innocase II case itself? I would think it would be common sense to include it, but you never know.
Thanks in advance.

Picked up one of these after reading about it in one of the otterbox threads.
Decent price through mygearstore, in addition timed it with a 25% off twitter coupon they posted
It came in pretty quick, seems pretty nice, I only had it on for about an hour, and reboxed it for for a present for the wife to give me. I've been using a cheap silicone case from ebay/amazon. The protected corners seems to be a big advantage and I like the feeling of the finger slots on the edges.
I'll post some images after the holidays if anyone is interested.

I vote for pics on this! Although, if you can post pics sooner that would be great (to help with decision-making before christmas)
If not, its ok also. "beggars cant be choosers..."
I have a heard a few good feedbacks, but nothing in depth such as a video on youtube for the captivate. It sucks that they don't have the Rugged Combo in Blue. They have it in the Hybrid version such as the image/ pic above my post, but if you look closer, there is a slight difference in the skin as far as a "camera cover" if you want to call it that. The Hybrid (which comes in blue) does NOT have that feature. I'm also interested in seeing if there are covers for the Ports on the top (3mm jack/ usb port) in either Rugged or Hybrid. Its silly i know, but both are the same price for 49.99 at Seidio, without the luxury of having the blue skeleton/ skin for the rugged combo.
I could easily buy both just to satisfy my Blue anxiety, but who would do that?!

not the best images but here you go....

Nice.
Questions:
1) does the top of the silicon skin provide covers for the ports (jack / usb)?
2) how lose (if any) is rubber skin?
3) have you tested to see how well it fits inside pockets (jeans/ pants/ etc)?

1. openings only not a sealable/closed cover - but the usb sliding cover (phones) was easy to open and close with the case on
2. rubber skin is pretty tight it isn't loose at all, I really like the way the plastic X fits over the corners
3. its much slicker then the silicone $4 special case I've been using, part of that is the x plastic but the rubber itself is much smoother.
I won't really have a decent review until I get to use it after x-mas but the hour or so I did have it on it was worth the $18 I had to spend on it.

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I bought it with the holster for him but he doesn't use it much as he stores it in his chest coat pocket most of the time and the clip gets in the way.
The Active X does not include the Innocase II as they are incompatible with each other. The Rugged is the one that fits over the Innocase II. (Basically, the Active X is just a slimmed down version of the Rugged that fits directly on to the phone itself instead of over another case.)

More Pics + Quick Feedback
Got my Active X a few days ago.
I'm a belt clip user, so this was one of few available options. I had a Seidio Innocase for my HTC Fuze that I did not like: the rubbery coating peeled and flaked off, and the clips holding the case on broke within 5 months. They sent me a brand new replacement right away but the same problems repeated. I have the same concerns about the coating on the X-skeleton portion of the Active X but fortunately there are no small plastic parts to break.
Pros:
(1) Not too bulky. I like the feel in my hand. Naked Captivate felt easy to drop even though thinness was quite sexy. Still slips in/out of pocket easily.
(2) Seems like good protection but I have no objective data on this.
(3) Great belt clip: secure, comfortable.
(4) Fit is spot on and I still have a skin on underneath.
(5) Nice blue color.
Cons:
(1) Durability concerns.
(2) Buttons have almost no feedback although they work fine and are actually quite responsive. Takes getting used to.
(3) Rubber gets dusty but its not too hard to brush off.
(4) Spendy
Verdict: Me like.
Photos: I can't make links since I'm a new user on XDA Please go to Flickr and search for "Seidio Active X Hybrid Case for Captivate". My photos should come up at the top. There is a set of 6 pics.
Cheers.

I'm actually looking forward to Christmas to put this bad boy back on.
fonion,
I'd argue about con #4. I was able to get my active x pretty cheap. Not as cheap as a amazon $3 silicone cover but still significantly cheaper then the comparable otterbox commuter case.

Very NICE review.....this in addition to Polarbee's feedback = another anxious buyer. lol
Thanks cmeyer

I'd agree with fonion's evaluation. I was given the Active X as a Christmas gift (yes, Christmas already... the first of too many to count. The kids like it though!).
It fits nice on the phone. A little bulkier than your standard run of the mill 2$ silicone cover - which is actually nice for me. I have fairly big hands and the naked Captivate was a little dainty for me - I like the bulk that this case adds.
My one complaint, which fonion also mentioned, is that the case does get dusty. I throw the phone in my pocket and it picks up lint & fuzz, which, because I'm a bit OCD, bothers me more than it should...
All in all, I'm really happy with it (only had it on a couple of days). Really pleased with the quality of the case, and the fit & feel of it.

I have one and really like it. Fits very snug and covers very well. Sure it picks up a little lint, but it will blow right off. Other observations: the hard plastic spider is rubberized too though neither part is particularly grabby. On mine the spider doesn't completely seat in the rubber, bit it's no big deal. I wish the to part of thr face wasn't covered up though. I replaced the body glove hard case with this and am quite happy with it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I'm digging it! My spider fits well. Nice feel to it as well.

I'm really surprised this case doesn't get any love. I've been really please with it over the last 6 weeks or so.

I love mine but I ended up trimming the top portion, my fat fingers couldn't get the drop menu to work.

[Q] Leather Case with Belt Clip?

I have always used a Leather pouch with a belt clip (maybe I like the idea of a Batman utility belt...). I have found some really nice pocket cases but I have looked ever ware and can't find one that is basically a belt pouch.
I don't like a case around my phone because I think the Raw phone looks much sexier. I kinda feel like there is hundreds of thousands of dollars spent to make new phone the sexiest looking technology out there then we put them in a rubber/leather shell... just my view. The main reason is I keep my Wallet in one front pocket and my keys in the other...

Seeing as there has not even been one reply I'm starting to think there is none...

something like this? http://www.senacases.com/samsung-cases/galaxy-s-2/classic-flip/
Check the pics from the back

You could look for similar sized phones, iPhone 4 maybe?
I only have my phone here, so I can't really search for you, but I guess it's worth a try.
Good luck!

I have this one : http://pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_10000000_11001206&products_id=32475

How would one attach this to a belt. If it's not to tight you might make two cuts in it and slip your belt in it. But it's not too practical, beautiful, or safe. I'd look for a HTC Sensation one, or an Atrix one perhaps.
EDIT
Searching for galaxy s2 belt case gave me this and a few other hits.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Galaxy-Leather-King-Gadgets/dp/B004UQU6CW

Easier for shipping to Canada I suppose :

Thanks, at least I know know there are some out there!
During the mean time I have been using a cheep rubber skin, and I have been finding that phone feels better in the hand if it's in a skin. So now I might be looking for a case that will fit the phone wile it's in a skin... might have to do some local shopping for that... Or something like the one "Flowlance" linked might work for me too.

Got one! I walked to every store and booth in my local mall (did you know your can buy things in the real world not just online! I didn't...) and there was almost none then I found the Indian Cell Booth... (that is not the name. There only ever Pakistani people working there...) and they had 1 witch I think is suppose to be for a PDA but it was freaking huge! witch means it was a good fit...
And I can use this one with my Skin still on the phone! So now if I drop it when using it, I'm safe. and if I'm not using the belt clip (because who likes to ware pants at home...) I'm still safe for laying it around! Here are the pics..

It says "Ultra" on is so that has to mean it's kewl... right?
Rotating Clip Seems strong, time will tell...
Magnetic flap.

I got my Galaxy S2 a couple of days ago and had the same problem. Having punted around online for a while I grabbed the case that my Touch HD was in, the one that originally came with my Tytn, and voila, it fits.

I have not got this * PDAir * horizontal belt clip, but I have the same make that I bought for my much loved HTC HD2. The SGS2 fits fine in that pouch, so I don't know if I'll get the one specifically for the SGS2.
My 18 month old HD2 looks like it just came out of the shop.

How about this!
Got this holster from the mail a few days back, nice fit with my Zenus Monochrom Case, so should fit the S2 with a normal TPU/silicone case.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Cowhide-Leather-Case-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-i9100-Brown-/160563730751?pt=AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item256258193f#ht_1803wt_901
PS
The Zenus case quality isnt top notch, theres a hairline crack appearing less than a month of usage.

Son of a *****! Well Time did tell, I haven't even had my case for 5 days and the clip broke! Sat in a chair with arms and the plastic clip (witch I though would have trouble) snapped off because the phone hit the chair arm... I looked all over town for that stupid case! and it was the only one no returns...
I'll have to see if I can modify it with a better clip. Or become one of those people that carry there wallet in there back pocket...

You might like the "Krusell Orbit Flex for Samsung Galaxy S II".
Oddly, the company's web site does not post any pictures, which is really a shame because it's a great case. Google for pictures! In short:
1. Rotating belt clip, which is also removable. You can take it out and still keep the phone in the case (in order to fit a shirt pocket, for example). The fitting for the clip can take other accessories (from the manufacturer) - check it out.
2. Removable front flap, so you can have it in your belt with only the back cover in place. With "soft" magnetic clip.
3. Cut-outs in all applicable places.
I bought it before my S2 (!) and been using it ever since.

What a pleasant information to hear, i also love that brown cow case but the seller was answer me it can not fit if the s2 was fit it with other case
your picture would be great, thanks

I just received this from Amazon for about $9.
It is for the Infuse, but it fits my SG2 with my Casemate Tough EASILY. It is a little bigger than I would like, but it meets my need well.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052Q4O18

Hello
Does somebody know for a vertical leather case with a belt clip for s2 which would fit case-mate tough case?
I bought one similar to this one www.ebay.com/itm/VB4-Leather-Belt-P..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3cb80c160c and it is just too small (phone with tough case goes inside but very tight and it is not possible to close it).
I was searching for infuse cases and found one that i like www.ebay.com/itm/Flip-Case-Samsung-...052944?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item25675ec0d0 . Would it fit S2 with tough case? Does somebody know if and where it's possibly to buy this in Europe?
Would you suggest any other leather belt case?

The Noreve is By far the nicest Belt Case I've seen but it's not cheap.

Get the case above with the metal clip below.

Pretty sure I'm getting one for mine. Just thinking about dropping nearly $100 on a case a bit first..

Try the Verizon Droid x (or x2) holster. That works very well with the SGS2. It may have some wiggle room to fit it with a case as well.

Boxwave Case + Holster with Kickstand Review (Pics)

Hey everyone so I just received this case and I wanted to give you guys a rundown on what I think about it.
So the case in question is this one. As you can see from the pictures it is a hard 1-piece case that snaps on to the phone, as well as a holster with a soft fabric lining that will not scratch the screen, and a kickstand.

The case itself is very nice. It has a good solid fit with the phone, no moving or sliding off here. It is made of a rubberized material that feels good in the hand, and the texture on the back provides a good grip. There are cutouts for the power and volume buttons so they are easy to press. As with most cases of this style, the top and bottom of the phone are exposed, BUT the case goes around the corners and extends off the top/bottom ever so slightly, that the case should absorb the main blunt of the impact, should the phone land on that position. The case comes up about 1mm off the screen so that the screen will not touch the surface if you place it face down. All in all I like the way it looks and feels, and I feel it provides adequate protection to the phone.
The holster is made of the same material as the case. Once again, the finish feels good in the hand. It has 3 "arms" that secure the phone in place when it is in the holster. It snaps into place and it feels secure and sturdy. The phone can be put into the holster with either the screen facing in or out. There is a soft fabric material on the inner side of the holster that protects the screen from scratching when the phone is mounted with the screen facing in. The clip on the holster is the star here, because it doubles as a kickstand. It rotates 180 degrees which allows you to position it any way you want. You simply open the clip and pull out a metal prop to keep the clip in its open position, and you've got yourself a kickstand. Another useful feature is that you can mount the clip onto the vents in your car to use it to hold the phone while using GPS navigation. This is really handy for those of use who live in a state where it's illegal to mount a GPS device on the windshield. Once again the holster is superb and incredibly useful.
Overall I'd definitely recommend this case to anyone who wants something sleek that doesn't add a lot of bulk, but that still wants good protection against drops. The holster with the kickstand makes it great for watching movies and videos. And the fact that you can mount it on your car vents for GPS navigation make this an awesome product. I definitely recommend!
WARNING:There is a similar case for this phone on eBay, but it is NOT the same! DO NOT BUY IT! I bought both and the eBay one is garbage! It doesn't even fit properly, adds a lot more bulk, and you can't mount the phone on the holster with the screen facing out (essentially making the kickstand feature useless!!).
Here is how to tell the difference: The ebay ones have only TWO "arms" to secure the phone:
And they have a SMALL cutout by the speaker, instead of a big one like the Boxwave one:
Don't buy the ebay ones they are garbage (unless you find a boxwave case on ebay). Don't make the same mistake I did.

Nice review. Now only if someone would make an ultra thin snap on case with a kickstand. Had one for my iphone and loved it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

Yeah I also wanted something thin that didn't add a lot of bulk. I think this fits that need.

It is nice and it doesn't add too much bulk. I just wish it had a locking clip on the top. Great buy for $13 bucks.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

I really appreciate the review. It's EXACTLY the case i want. I've seen the boxwave for the Galaxy Nexus and Iphone up close first and and really like them. I also saw the cheap knockoff on the iphone and after one drop and keeping it in the pocket, the exterior matte finish was wearing off badly.

I have this Boxwave product as well. It's very nice. The stand feature works well and this case doesn't add much bulk at all. It's keeper.

Just thought I'd give an update. My boxwaves matte finish is wearing off after one week of use.

ive had 2 of them...although the case itself is nice and i really liked the belt clip and overall design..they are only like $12 on ebay, you get what you pay for...the belt clip broke off on both of them and i wasnt even doing anything...just a small nudge and the cheap plastic that holds it broke...i have given up on this case/belt combo...now im back to the old tpu case i bought and it works a lot better, i dont have to worry about breaking it

Not impressed.... Seidio is much better and you can order a holster too. Great fit and quality. Highly recommended.

Btw .. you mind giving some input on the quality of that belt clip and is it good enough for day to day use? I actually like the seidiko combo better but since I paid 6 bucks (shipping) for tis phone after instant rebate and waived upgrade fee .. it doesn't seem justified to spend $45 for a case to go on a $6 phone ... but if the clip is too weak I might just give in and invest in something more sturdy.
Thanks for the info!

That's the knockoff the op was warning about, isn't it?

yes, its the knockoff...i bought it first a long time ago...broke the belt clip off of it...then saw the other one..bought it, and just recently broke the belt clip off of that one as well
the knockoff is just as good except for 1 thing..the phone doesnt fit with the screen facing outwards...so you cant use it as a kickstand to watch videos...if your looking for a case/holster it does the job just the same
my conclusion after buying both (and breaking both) is that the case/holster is nice but delicate...both times i broke it i was barely doing anything..i just tapped it and the cheap plastic tab that holds the belt clip broke off
i ended up spending like $28 total for both...and im back to my old TPU case and leather pouch...i dont have to worry about breaking the pouch..ive had it for like 2 years already..used it with my vibrant and it also fits the SG2..im sure the seidio combo is a lot more durable
also, if you got the SG2 for free thats great..however that doesnt change the value of the phone..its still a $600 phone, if you really want to protect it you gotta spend the $$...consider yourself lucky to be able to get the SG2 and a great case for only $51

Yeah I agree .. i actually like that seidio case too and it looks sturdy enough. I guess seidio it is

1 huge problem I experienced: The phone is not clipped into the holster and will pop out with when the moons line up. I wear mine horizontally and the moons lined up the other day and it hit the ground ... and when the sleeve hit the ground, the phone popped out too.
Other than that, everything else was cool but since this a biggie for me, I'm on the prowl for another case.

nooooooo!!!! i wish i saw this thread sooner. already ordered the ebay one...

Looking for hip holster

Any one able to find a hip holster yet ?

Hi,
i just received this from Amazon today, look very solid
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006LGDSEW/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details
i just checked again.. item unavailable

Nice configurable ones here:

I think they may take a while as it looks like they are waiting on a device to start. I have bough one, will post when I have it.

i own a noreve leather case, and i'm very pleased with it.
it's a bit expensive (45€) but it's a very high quality case.
it also have a removable (but resistant) clip for your hip...

Do u have a vertical pouch ? Is it easy to take the phone in an out.
I had problems pressing one or more keys when i take the phone out.

This is what i use now. However useful only on days when i wear a belt.

I bought one of those too. I am eagerly waiting for the delivery of that one too! I chose a custom leather option, so they have to hand-build it on demand. At least I will probably have the only one around!
For now I have a cheap belt pouch made for a navman device. It is roomy and slim, but will not last many more months.

Do you find it reduces the phone signal?

Also looking for a nice hip holster, any recommendations?

Clip has a sticky back.
Once u stick it , it won't move. I had to cut it out the first time becoz I placed on the wrong place.
@Taptalk-GalaxyNote

I liked this PDair book style one so much I bought another one in crocodile as well : ) Both have belt clips where you slide the unit on down into the belt clip and it "clicklocks" right in, when needed reach behind the unit with your thumb on top and pressing down pull out voila. Phone will rotate freely when in belt clip so if you happen to brush up against something it will move out the way. Flip the cover around the back for landscape viewing and adjust for optimum angle.

The very first time I used one of those it broke. I sat down in an armchair (not heavily) and the force against the bottom toward me (I think) just snapped the connection right off.
I only use metal ones now.

Interesting, since the very first time I sat down with it on, I have (intuitively it seems) moved the phone to the horizontal or landscape position before sitting.
I see now that that has been a wise thing to do. So far, so good, have had it for several months and still going strong. The clip is probably designed for your average dress belt thickness but so far I've worn it daily over a very thick gun belt which stretches the clip wider than it was probably designed to go but makes it even more secure as it won't budge without very considerable force to slide it over.

I got this one.

I had one for the Xperia Arc. It was nice, because of the extra safety of the second 'clip'.
After a while, I found the main clip started to tear off from the case, mainly from sitting in the car.
I do seem to give these cases a hard time, don't I?
I have opted for the 'nutshell' case in the hope that it will survive whatever I do to these poor cases:

I have not received it yet . Apparently they are still waiting for a sample to make it for. I am not sure how long I'll wait ....
If it saves my Note, it'll be well worth the money. I have another case that is OK, but has a metal frame so reduces the phone signal. If I can remove enough metal but leave it functional, I may drop the Nutshell for taking to damned long.

Cases with Kickstand?

I really like the case mate http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...te-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Pop-with-Stand-Cases.asp but can of the owners give me its reviews?

Amazon Aduro Case
Aduro Shell Holster Combo Case, found on amazon.
I have had this case for a week now. I really like the styling and it feels good; however, it is a snap on case and i'm not sure how the top and bottom edges on the phone will hold up in a fall.

Kickstand Case
I'm also looking for a good case with a kickstand for the Samsung Galaxy S3. Wasn't sure if I should start a new topic, so decided to post here first.
I don't use a phone dock, so the size of the case doesn't concern me. Would like full protection. (top and bottom edges covered) Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you. (Can't post outside links, sorry)
Here are three that I've found. Does anyone know of others?
Case-Mate Pop Case W/ Stand
Concerns: Some of Case-Mates cases bulge out around the edges after a short while. I also wonder about the durability of the kickstand on this case.
Seidio Active with Metal Kickstand
Concerns: Kickstand does not support device in portrait orientation. (Not a deal breaker though). I've never owned a Seidio case, so I personally don't know how quality they are.
TALKonline ProGel SOLID Super Hydro Gel Case W/ Stand
Concerns: Same as the Seidio, I've never owned a case from this company, so I don't know about the quality.

I've got this one as well and love it.

I have a Case-Mate Pop.
Pros:
1. Fits great.
2. Rubber side grips are great.
3. Push buttons work with zero problems.
4. The case totally surrounds the phone (except for the ports).
5. Rubber extends above the glass, so you can place the phone face down.
Cons:
1. The kickstand only works with the phone in a horizontal position. It does not work when the phone is vertical.
2. When placed on a table face up, the plastic part of the cover rests on the table. So, the plastic gets scratched over time.
3. Not a huge deal, but I wish it had covers for the power and earphone ports to keep them clean.

I got a TPU/plastic one off ebay for $7.50 and am liking it. I posted it about it at the other thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28547621&postcount=17
I've been using the dry-application screen protector that came with it and so far so good. It doesnt cover the whole front, since the screen edges are slightly curved, but it works. I also was in a hurry so just put the screen protector plastic that came with the phone on the back before stuffing it into the case just to protect from wear marks, etc. It has a side-effect benefit of covering the camera lens w/o seeming to affect image quality.

Seidio makes some of the best cases on the market. No doubt about it. I don't know about their kickstands but their cases are top notch.

Thanks for the feedback. I found a few other kickstand cases, but I still haven't made a decision. Dont really like any of them.

I have the case mate so far it's good, but I only been using it for two days. Ill keep posted.

I have a Case-Mate Pop and a Seidio Active. The Active's kickstand is heavier duty and the CM's kickstand is flimsy, but it is functional. However, I would not necessarily say that the Active is a better cover than the Case-Mate. I like the Case-Mate more than the Active, but I use the Active because I need to hang my phone on my belt. I preordered a Trident Kraken.

Has one tried this case http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Hard-...140748?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19d524cb4c before?

I bought this case and I kept it on for about 30 seconds. It really made the phone feel cheap.
Currently not being productive on my S3.

If youre just looking for the kickstand feature, I'd recommend getting FlyGrip, a tad bit pricey though.

I recently purchased Aduro Shell Holster Combo with Kick-Stand from amazon because my husband thought it'd be nice to have a holster... but anyway... im a bit disappointed in general. First of all, the packaging... maybe cuz im picky but i didnt like that it came in a plastic baggie. The kickstand seems cheap and easily breakable. One thing I like is it's pretty grippy cuz of the material. Don't think it'll provide much protection from drops though. We read some good reviews on amazon, which is why we purchased but... it's mediocre at best imo. But my husband likes the back, me not so much. Here are some pictures:

I just received the same case although it was branded as a "JKase" and was 5 bucks cheaper than the Aduro branded one. It's actually pretty good and the holster also seems okay. I'm not sure of the sturdiness or longevity of this case and holster but so far so good.
