Buy a case! Or else...

[DJ-Anakin]

You guys keep talking about these silicon cases, but i can't imagine they're easy to get into and remove from pants pockets. Is it? I'm currently using my blackjack II's leather sleeve until I find one that fits the DI.

It's not hard to get in and out of pockets at all. The material is glossy, so it slides in and out nicely. The only thing that's difficult with the case is getting the actual phone out.

Well when I got the $1.99 insurance I felt it was better than nothing especially with people talking about the power button ect. I hope to be careful now and assume the only failure would be caused by the phone and not abuse. I figured at $89 and $4.00 extra per month for at least a year before an upgrade which we all know we will do I save a bit now and have some kind of guarantee.

I bought the black silicone case the day before the phone was released and have been using it since. Haven't had any drops or anything, but I don't find getting the phone out of the case a big deal.

When I need to get the case off, I flip the phone upside down so the track-pad is at the top. Then just pick either corner and roll the case back with your thumbs on either side of the corner. From there you can peel it back off the other corner and then just slide the actual top of the phone out of the case. It takes me less than 5 seconds to remove it. I just reverse then when putting it on - ie. slide the top of the phone into the case first, then just pop each of the bottom corners in. I've been doing this every other night or so right before I put it on the charger for the night to wipe the phone down to keep down on any crude gathered from going in/out of my pocket all day and/or greasy fingerprints.

Everyone is saying how easy it breaks, mine was thrown across the room into a dresser by an angry gf and its still working fine with no cracked screen.

Guess I'm lucky

ditch the girl and keep the phone.

Yeah kind of disapointing , coming from the Eris which was a mini tank.

Guess I was unlucky then. My eris was dropped once...once from 3 feet.. instant cracked glass... owned it 8 days.

Have (will be had) Best Buy insurance... worst mistake I ever made! 31 days & they STILL have the frickin phone! They've owned it more than I have!

Not a mark on it and they STILL refused to replace it. I'll never step foot in that store again..

Best Buy SUCKS!!!!!!!

24" is way too tall for a coffee table. i suggest you take it back and get a lower one. 18" should be the max on a coffee table.

Given how many of these I've seen, it's safe to say that these really were not built strong enough for a $600 phone.

Well... it is made by AudioVox. Have you ever seen their other quality products?

I think that means that she's the one.


I've got the silicon case, but it makes me wonder how much protection it actually provides. its pretty thin and tight so I'm not sure how much energy is being absorbed and how much is going to the phone. I guess its better than nothing and I'm surely not going to test it.

These threads are scaring me *wraps phone in 10 layers of bubble wrap.....realizes now its just a brick of bubble wrap....fail*

I picked up the leather wrapped snap on case from Verizon. Looks OK, and the leather provides just a bit of padding. Slides in and out of the pocket nicely. Also, the camera lens is inset about 1/64th of an inch and there is about 1/16th inch around the perimeter of the screen. Only issue is the perimeter makes it a little more difficult to hit the edge keys while texting in portrait mode.

The OP's post makes me sad.

 

[jamor]

Woa LOL. that will be me one day, I've dropped my blackberry flip a hundred times and it still worked great.

Seidio better hurry up with their innocase ii. 2 more weeks! <crosses butter fingers>

At least you are out $89 and not $529! =]

Hey, also, at least you don't have an iPhone - CAN'T get insurance!

Where can one order the N1 Sleeve?

 

[scorpionfalcon]

Does anyone experience this with their stock browser? When I click on the attached image from the first post (the broken screen), the browser screen turns dark grey but the image does not pop up. So I have to zoom the web page to get a close up look of the attached image instead. I think there might be something wrong with my browser.

 

[zetroc]

Where are people getting N1 sleeves from? I thought those were only available when you purchased a N1. I'd like one

 

[dvdivx]

What really ticks me off is the lack of cases if you get the extended battery. Your options drop to zero. That included buying the Seido extended battery.

A few threads down...you can order them from HTC.

And this is news how exactly...?

Hope you had good insurance on it. I just got my replacement Droid Incredible from Asurion. Though $89 co-pay sucks.
Mine's in a worse condition than yours. I had a motorcycle accident at 60-70 mph and it was in my front coat pocket. Destroyed the screen much more than that. Hospital threw it away I think, so I lost my microSD card that could have possibly been salvageable and had to claim it as lost.

I just received my high gloss silicone black. Only gripe i think I have with it is that it makes it hard to plug lots of 3.5mm plugs into it save for the smallest ones I have. which keeps me from plugging it in to my aux in in my car...

Wow, that sucks man, sorry to hear. I have the red/black gradient case and I just dropped it the other day pulling it out of my pocket(roughly 3 feet high) and it landed on a hard wood floor also. When it landed it popped out of the case, but aside from that nothing happened to it. Pretty damn glad I decided to get it, now.
