I have the body glove and I don't think it adds too much bulk to the phone. It is considerably larger but still not to large to put into your pocket. It's nice and secure. And I like the option of the beltclip and being able to remove it.
My sister has the clear plastic case and I like my body glove more.

I went into a store today to let a tech look at my phone because the screen wiggles when you type on the screen in certain places(bottom right hand corner if the phone is turned sideways). After checking mine against a couple of others including his it was determined that this was normal. Anyway the tech had the shell/holster combo on his phone. I had the BG but took it back because the front piece was just flimsy. After looking at his case I picked one up because it looked and felt pretty sturdy and fit the phone much better than the BG did.
I am curious as to how this case affected your screen in the manner that you mention. I can't see a way that it would from looking at the one on my phone. I don't doubt you, I just wanted you to clarify so I can take this back if I need to.
I got the Body Glove about a week after getting my phone, the day the droids were released.
I think the case is excellent - but I don't use the slide-out keyboard, and I don't have a dock for it. The case has great texture, and is just the thickness I'd like for the phone. I don't use the belt clip - I tend to keep the phone in my pocket, and have had no problems whatsoever.

I want to get the shell case again. I got it when I bought the phone, but the hooks on the front cover snapped after I tried to take it off too many times (maybe I took it off the wrong way?)
Innocase sounds low profile, but the reason I want a case is to protect my phone. Has anyone DROPPED their phone with the Innocase on it?

I have this one I bought it because droid is a very masculine phone to me... now it looks more chic.

You look chic enough to me jenny! Why go and take away all the ruggedness of the droid???
Don't get the body glove case. it is huge, rubbery so impossible to get out of a pocket. A huge space not protected on the side under the volume control buttons. and worst of all the whole left side of the case that attaches to the screen has no clip so it is just a long flimsy piece of plastic going from the top to bottom of the phone.
Dont get it. Dont get it. Dont get it

Has anyone used any of the many snap cases sold on ebay such as for Motorola Droid Case Cover Hard Back Green Zebra - eBay (item 120507797394 end time Jan-16-10 16:50:08 PST), and had problems with it scratching the edges of your droid? I want to take precaution before purchasing...

I wish there were a few better quality cases made like this one; Motorola Droid Anodized Aluminum Case - Black
The case clamps over the entire phone, keeping the keyboard from opening up. I never use the physical KB, so a case like this would be perfect.. really wish otterbox would make one like it.. I'm sure plenty would be willing to give up the slider for the protection it offers.

dont get the invisiShield stuff, all i hear is that it makes your phone into an "orange peel"... giving it a weird texture and not the slickness of the phone as it is now..
i say screw the case and get one of these!!!

You need to order a screen protector seperately. I love the Seidio case (and I own a few of the others as well). It's the best I've used by far.
Jennyloca, has this case scratched the sides(or any part) of your phone, once you take it off?
Here's a suede one if you like a more sleek look.

I wanted a droid wallet to but I wanted one that the phone was not in the pocket. So I made my own from a space age high tech material.
O.K it is made from duct tape check it out!!

IMO the Droid doesn't even need a screen protector. It has gorilla glass on it, which is the same glass my mp3 player has (Cowon S9). I've had my S9 for over a year and it is completely scratchless. I've even tried to scratch the screen with keys to show how the tough the glass is to people at school. They are amazed and I even give them a chance to scratch it themselves.... they fail. Gorilla Glass ftw
I thought the same until a mysterious scratch showed up on my first droid. I had BB install a full Zagg protector on my current and couldn't be happier.

I can't find this case on their site? I really like this 0ne as I don't use the keyboard either. Thanx.What do you think of this case?
I looks like its part of the Droid. Its a silicon rubbery type case. I have had similar cases form my Zune players.I found it off of Amazon. Looks nice...clean and simply. I don't care If I can't access the physical keyboard, I never use it.
do a search for: Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Casefor Motorola Droid A855
on Amazon.
EDIT: Found the compnay website, Amzer seems to have some nice stuff for the Droid, take a look here: Motorola Droid A855 Accessories

And it doesn't limit you from using the keyboard. It looks like another snap-on case. Or worse, one that is just supposed to fit snugly without snapping on. I tried one like that from handheld items and it was, in a word, awful.
I know we have a hardware keyboard and should be able to use, but i wish someone would just make one of those thin, rubber skin-type sleeves to put around the device and to heck with using the hardware keyboard. I would buy it.
Got the Body Glove face piece on a Snap On Verizon Droid back case with the Verizon 3 pack droid screen cover. This seems to be the best fit. I got the Body Glove for free which was a cool outcome from an unfortunate circumstance. The front & back piece of the body glove rub together which causes tension between sliding up and down the screen which will eventually damage the sensor on it. I got the 2nd cover from Verizon and it does the same so i combined the Verizon Back Piece and the Body Glove Front Piece and they don't rub at all. It slides open and closed with almost no resistance.
