Accessories Can anyone recommend a good case for the X?

I won't be using any case with this one, simply because i want to fit it in the dock, rather i will be using th Phantom skinz carbon fiber skin thingy. They come with two screen protectors, also... they retail for $29.95, i know it is pricey but the reviews on u-tube are really good.

As of right now, 3rd party accessories being offered, especially cases are slim to none. Which isn't surprising, considering the amount of support companies have thrown at the new iPhone4. Give it a month or two and hopefully we'll start seeing some more options.

But for right now, you'll be looking at either something directly from VZW or Amzer.

You got that right about the iPhone mecca case & accessory party. Where is that kid from Best Buy when you need a new cartoon video?

Did try to sign up for notification on Sedio Online for X accessory release and their mailbox for it has been full since last Thursday.

You bought a case from Best Buy? I can't find cases for Droid X in Best Buy? Do you have a link or anything?

Thanks for the help!

I do not have a link but the local Best Buy here has a ton of them in all 3 colors.

And as of today this case is still the best case I have tried for the X.

I would suggest stopping by your local BB and ask them?

I called 5 of them and found them in black at one store. Going there this afternoon.

UPDATE: Got one and it is similar to a Seidio, which I like. It's actually a Rocketfish case. The 2 immediate downers are the inside of the case is not felt lined and the corner where the HDMI port is (there is a notch for a lanyard tie) is completely exposed (so if you're luck is like mine, you drop the phone on concrete and that's the area where it lands). Will work on getting some pictures later today.

Also, with the car dock the case will appear to fit with a modification. When you remove the dock insert, there is a "nub" used for guiding the insert in to position. One could remove the nub and the phone with this case does appear to fit quite nicely. More on that if I can talk my stones in to modifying a $40 dock over one little piece of plastic. Not much for modification (especially when it's my stuff :) ).

I was going to put a Zagg on mine, but I kinda like the fact I can put different colors on mine and the wifes.
 
I went to a local VZW store and tried out 6-7 cases. I ended up getting the shiny silicone one for myself and the kickstand case for my wife. I keep my phone in my pocket so I wanted something very thin, but would protect the sides and back from my keys. My wife keeps hers in her purse so bulk was less of an issue, and the kickstand was a pretty nice feature. The leather on the kickstand case has a nice premium feel, even though it's probably a paper-thin covering. :)

EDIT: I also want to point out that I got a corporate discount on my accessories in-store. Make sure you mention it!
