[Mini-review] Seidio Active Case for Kindle Fire - Kindle Fire Accessories

Just got my Seidio Active case to replace my cheapie carbon fiber case that I got for 9 bux. The Seidio active case is exactly like the Active case I have for my phone. Well built and great color.
The case is pretty self explanatory if you have an existing active case. You slip on the rubber polymer case and align the openings and then slip on the (in my case) red 'exo-skeleton' case. This part I can forsee taking the corner bumps very well lol.
Pro's:
Awesome looking. Gives a bit more bulk than naked KF, but I like it. Reminds me of a tuffbook lol. The case has a cover that has a dual purpose. A stand and an optional cover to the case. Great for travel! The color is just cool lol.
Another great thing is that the usb port is just clear enough to plug in your micro usb plug. I haven't tried headphones yet though. The speaker grills line up perfectly as well. And for the cover/stand, you can go either landscape OR portrait mode on a whim. You just pick it up and rotate it. No worrying about extra joints, wobbly mounts, etc. It's just a tab that extends out to prop your KF and works wonderfully in any mode. Being that my comp at work and my out let are on the opposite sides of my desk, this works for me.
Con's:
The only con for me is that the power button is completely covered up. We all know that it's a good thing to see if the KF is powered up or plugged in correctly or if we pressed the button on time to access the recovery, but being that it's covered up, my OCD-ness NEEDS to know if I pressed it correctly lol.
Anyways here are the pics....

I wouldn't ditch a case you like and happy with for just a new case. I bought this actually because the guy on ebay accepted my offer lol. I was intending to get the microshell Marware case but because the offer was accepted, I was stuck with it lol.
I mean I don't regret getting this. I adore Seidio quality. I use my active case when I travel on my phone so that means it's a must have/use when traveling on airplanes, trains, long roadtrips, etc. .
I do recommend it if they are on the fence. Totally worth the 35 shipped I paid. In line with my cost for the active case for my phone lol.

I like the look a lot. I wish it was somehow one piece though rather than two separate pieces.

I thought that as well initially. Having had a gtablet not too long ago with a good case that was attached.
But it became obvious why they opted not to. I mean you can put the kf in any way you want, depending on where your plug is. Perfect example is Flipboard. The app only shows in portrait mode and if I want to read it, I don't have to dismantle the darn thing to do so or use some sort of rubic's cube trickery to get it to the way I want. Just pick it up and rotate the sucker. Just perfect and simple IMO.
And being that it is two separate pieces, the cover is totally optional and not required.

Looks a lot like the new Otterbox Defender for Kindle Fire

I've had one of these for a few months now and it is by far my favorite case. I use my Kindle a lot and the case still looks like it is new.

Just got one of these for my girl and I'm jealous. Wish they had one for my HP touch pad..

Not a problem. I try to get mini reviews out to others who are looking for accessories like this. I call them mini because they are not full in depth reviews, more like an unboxing-usage-review .

Absolutely nothing negative to say about this case. My only real concern was that the blue finish on the corners of the case would start to come off after a while of snapping it in and out of the cover/stand. As you can see in the pic it is not happening at all. I like it so much that I'm getting one of these for my Galaxy Nexus.

Just Got This Case.

EDIT; I am placing all of the pics I've posted in this thread below and removing them from later posts. This needed cleaned up plus it should make it easier for people to get a better idea of how they look when you get more than one and trade out the parts. More colors and pictures in the next few days...
I just got one of these and so far I have to say that I am impressed. The plugs that fit the earphone jack and the hdmi/micro usb ports fit remarkably well. I think that I would like it more if the colored plastic piece were a little less slippery. But it is the 'rubberized' plastic so it isn't that bad.
Another EDIT; After owning this for a few months I have to say that the plastic hasn't turned out to be that slippery at all. Just about right for staying on the dash (ish) and getting it in and out of my pocket. And I've decided it is more of a 9/10 to me. And for 10 to 12 bucks shipped, what's not to like.
Thanks garrett_tx for this Amazon link.

(Thanks to my Wife for holding the phones for me.)
Awesome, thanks for the review. I was just looking at this case maybe like 2 days ago.
Could you answer a couple of questions? -
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
- does it come with a screen protector?
THANKS!

Edit; Pics moved to original post.
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
Not sure. Haven't dropped it yet. But as you can see it is a two piece case.
The corners are doubled up with both the plastic and silicone. So I expect the case to take the hit, and not the phone.
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
Not much.
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
The silicone is between the outer case and the phone, so not a problem.
- does it come with a screen protector?
Nope.
On a side note. I am ordering another one, maybe two. I like the fact that the pieces can be mixed and matched.
Also, It is a little more difficult to use with the docks because of the flap, but not impossible.
Hope that helps.
looks like a good case and there are many cool colors combinations...
i might take one of these.
thanks!
Great review, thanks a lot. And for 2 bucks I will definitely have to try it.
Interesting. Does the silicone case feel good without the hard part?

I removed the hard part and messed with it a little. I guess it feels ok. Without the molded plastic the silicon part is pretty loose. The sides are extra loose. The ends seem ok at best. I don't think that it would just fall off or anything while holding it. But going in and out of a pocket might be a drag.
thanks I think I will buy one on amazon, price seems more interesting

Yeah, the price looks good there too. I don't have Amazon Prime so the shipping would add 3 bucks to the total. Makes it around a dollar more than the ebay price for me. Another example of why I really need to kick Netflix and get Prime...
only certain items get "prime" status, on the case i would have to pay the 3 dollars even though i have prime
just depends on the seller on amazon
I've got this case since 4days.
Good quality/price, the silicone alone feet not so good but with the hard part it's ok.
I have this case as well--white under with black gray outside--and love it. I've had it bout 2 weeks now and it's holding up quite nicely. =)

You'll like it unless you are docking the phone constantly. It will dock, just not very well. I don't dock mine much so it isn't an issue. I ended up getting the black/red and the red/black cases. Now I can mix and match, and have a totally red or black case or leave them as they are. I really dig it all red or all black tho.
so this case can be use with the HD dock too?

Well sort of... You have to hold the rubber thingy that covers the mini usb and hdmi sockets. And once you get it in the dock the fit isn't that great. Loose and wobbly, but functional. Other than that it's a great case.
I do love this case alot i have the all black one
I got an outterbox... was actually disappointed in it. I dropped my phone from about 5 feet, bobbled it till it dropped, and it ended up landing on the top side. I picked it up and saw no physical damage, but the digitizer was not responding toward the top. The notification still works, but just underneath it to about a half inch below all the way across doesn't work. Screw you outterbox!

Seidio

I was checking Seidio for a Rezound case today, and saw this:
http://www.seidioonline.com/kindle-fire-s/7526.htm
Looks like they are working on a case likely like:
http://www.seidioonline.com/apple-ipad-2-active-case-black-p/csk5ipd2-bk.htm
for the fire. Thought some others may find it nice, I have always loved seidio and am a strong believer in them.
*posted in wrong area, having mod move ^^
I'm of the opposite opinion. I've always thought Seidio was overpriced and lacking in quality. I've had two of their cases and both broke within a couple months.
I think it would be the best case so far. I don't like the leather cases and soft cases like marware that people are buying so far.
They posted pictures finally:

Now shipping.
Ordered one and two screen protectors.
WOW what a case. Me like one for Xmas.

At work at the moment, so haven't gotten a chance yet. It arrived just before I left for here.
The case is amazing. Pic from me installing CM7 on it using its stand.
I like the idea, but I'm afraid constantly.popping it out of the case in order to tilt it would 1 be annoying and 2 wear on/damage the kindle. Let me know what you think after using yours for a bit.

Had to hurry up and get one of these. How long was the shipping turnaround? Ordered it in Royal blue with the multi-purpose stand.

It adds a bit of bulk. The texture is actually not great. It fairly smooth so it feels like the Kindle is gonna fall out of your hand.
I plan on using it when traveling, but around the house the Fire will be naked.
What about popping it out for using the stand? Does it seem like it will wear on the kindle?

Popping out of the multi-purpose stand is fairly easy. Doesn't stress the Kindle at all.

thanks

Ballistic SG Maxx

Got mine today. It's pretty awesome. The molded screen protector is a great feature. I will likely use it when I am outdoors playing, but switch back to my Rock case when I am lounging indoors.
The belt clip is another great addition. I would take this case over an Otterbox ANY day. It doesn't make it nearly as big and boxy.

How easy is it to remove and put back on and stuff? Surely fairly easy seeing as you're switching between the Rock and the SG?
yeahmon, do you use the Ballistic in a car holder, if so, can you provide pics of this also when you get the chance ?
Thanks in advance for the picture

I just ordered mine. This case has a hard shell screen protector, that is an awesome feature. I have been an Otterbox fan since the iPhone 3G, but this case looks like it will take the cake. :highfive:
Ordered wondering how long it will take to get to UK also they say the screen protector is replaceable is there a re order ref in the box with the case as I don't see anything on the site ? TIA

There was nothing in the box but the case, and a Ballistic decal. The screen protector is flexible plastic. I will add that it distorts the screen a bit if you look at it a certain way. Nothing offensive, but worth noting. Almost like a 3D LCD. It's weird to describe.
I'm assuming you will be able to order them on their website soon. The case was just released a day or two ago.
I have terrible 3G reception where we are camping,so forgive me if my replies take awhile. It took 6 hours to send the first reply yesterday.

I'm already beginning to dislike the plastic screen protector. It seems to be creating a lot of false touches, which causes me to have to use the back button a LOT. It may have to come off and see how it works without it.
I have officially pulled the screen protector off. It was causing WAY too many touch errors. I like nekkid screen better.

I have had this case on the whole time. I forgot about my Rock case. This phone just feels right with this case. It's easy in my hand, and I dropped it onto the kitchen floor, and and it just bounced a little. I about freaked out, but my S3 lives.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
thanks for the continuous updates. pretty helpful to see how the case turns out in the long run.
i decided not to go for ballistic or commuter
went ahead to preorder a trident kraken ams. for the price (31 shipped to the US), design and protection i think its the best of the 3. if it doesnt work out ill go for a commuter before ballistic.
I had to remove the Ballistic. Everyone was complaining about not being able to understand me on the phone. The mic is such a tiny hole on the bottom of the phone, it seemed the rubber hole was preventing my voice from carrying. I put the Rock case back on, and the problem is solved. I would imagine this could be the results for any case that covers the bottom of the device.

I was looking at the ballistic at the mall the other day. Liked it. hated the screen protector off the gate, but with a regular protector it was nice. Didn't even think about the mic issue.. Will have to investigate that one.. kind of big deal to be able to have people hear you.
Make the phone look super ugly

Slim case with a kickstand.

Can any of you great gentlemen recommend a slim case with a kickstand from your own experience. I would love something that retains the GS///'s natural beauty.

I use the above case. It does not add a whole lot to the phone as far as size or weight goes. The kick stand seems pretty sturdy as well. The rubber on the outside gives the user the ability to grip the phone without worry of having it slip through your hands. The buttons on the case protrude a bit making them easy to find by touch.
All in all a great case and it looks good with the white GS3.

			
				
can see the page there Fortte have a model that keeps the cell at an angle of 45 ° very good but you have to see if they have it for your phone and if I have misunderstood what you can do.

The Official Samsung Mesh case is probably your best bet -- Although it doesn't have a kickstand built in, all you need is a quarter, and boom, you got yourself a 4.8 HDTV.

About how many millimeters does that case add to the thickness? I know it's silly but it's something I'm always worried about.

You can also possibly pick this phone up at AT&T as I almost did - Unfortunately, I didn't think the kickstand was very sturdy and winded up passing on it. I believe it is either $30 or $35 at the store I went too.

LOL, looks like I got ripped off! Haha. I purchased mine about a week ago and I'm not even sure if it's left china.. Scratch that, shipped through LA today. Should be here in a day or two and I'll take pics. Don't know if I'll have my phone by then or not though! Haha.
I used the case mate on my Epic 4G touch and it worked well BUT it is not slim, I tried the one for the S3 and it is just as fat. Obviously it depends on your opinion of what is fat or not but I felt like it was fairly bulky. I currently am thinking of getting a tcp speck case from AT&T and attaching a flygrip to it. If I do that I'll post again. Even though I have Verizon it seemed like the AT&T stores had best selection of cases around me (versus Sprint and Verizon plus a couple case stores, just fyi).

[REVIEW] BoxWave DuoSuit TPU Case

Hey, just wanted to give you guys a quick look of this case I purchased recently- in case there are some of you who might be in the market for a decent looking yet inexpensive case.

Front and Back shots of the case's design. The S-Line is what separates the 2 texture/materials. BTW, I have the GSM nexus, not sure how it will fit for CDMA/LTE/ETC.
The material on the sides of the case is a bumpy rubber, allowing a more firm grip. The case material layers over the POWER and VOLUME buttons, the VOLUME side has 2 different bumps that are separated into + and - resulting in a more natural feel. The POWER button layover however, doesn't really return a tactile response when you press it, not a huge issue- more of a personal pet peeve i guess.
There is a slight lip that surrounds the front of the phone so you won't have to worry about scratching your screen if you lay it face down. The lip won't provide rock hard protection but it is better than nothing and it should be able to absorb some of the shock if it were to fall face first.
All the areas of the phone have proper cutouts
pogo pins
headphone jack
bottom mic
micro-usb slot
speaker
camera
top mic
not sure what that 2-hole area is below the speaker is, maybe its for attaching those string phone key-chains or whatever.
Overall, for the price I feel that this case isn't too bad, besides the PWR button pet peeve I have, I would recommend this case. I can't compare it to other cases yet, but maybe I will once I get the urge to purchase more cases. it can happen.
I got it off amazon for about $11 USD ...

Looks pretty sweet! I'm using (and have been using) the otterbox case for a year now and I'm looking for something different. Something that looks nice even though it may not provide as much protection as the otterbox. Unfortunately I was using a different case for about a week or so and my phone fell face first onto the street. The screen was fine, however there are some noticeable nicks on the top and sides now, so I'm looking for a cover that goes around the whole phone.
How long did it take to arrive? Does it only come in black? I see the other colors on the amazon page but it doesn't give the option to choose a different color when you try to buy, unless I missed it.
Thanks for the review!

Nice! I used to have Prime, but it expired and I don't really want to spend $39 right now to renew, so I think I'd have to do $5 extra for shipping, but i think it' worth it since Verizon charges like $25 for a plain old cover.
Thanks for adding the new colors btw! I can't decide which color to choose, lol.
These are only about a dollar on ebay.

good find but tbh not everybody uses ebay.
Just wanted to post and say that I got this case! I'd do my own review, but honestly the OP's review is spot on. The only "issue" I would bring up (as did the OP) is the power button response. Sometimes I'm not sure if I hit the power button or not, but it's really not as big of a deal as it sounds. I'd give it a 8.5/10 and it's worth a purchase if you need a case.
I also got the same color as the one in the pictures above, so I can't comment on the other colors, but you can't go wrong with any imo.
I have a similar case and looking for one for my daughter. I think I will get her this one as she wants to keep it as slim as possible and I believe they will work with the extended battery, just a bit snugger is all. Now to find a screen protector, augh, so many choices...

Why not? $1 ebay vs $11 amazon? Looks the same item. Or is it?
