My impression after 2 weeks.
I bought Airmax's case.
Without the holster: I usually put the phone in my pocket, I have deep pockets (yes that's right girls . . . crickerts chirping)
The case adds quite a bit of bulk but still fits. (yep, still) Much harder to get out when sitting down (imagine that)
With Holster: I hate holsters but this one is OK. sturdy as hell too. The prop up idea is not horrible but not great. I would never use it (didn't use it on my orginal VZ case)
Screen protector, I left my seinheil on. must protect the screen from the case (not really but it felt good). no issue with functionality. had to shift my pressed just to touch but not bad. Visually had more glare, and some smearing. harder to clean off.
I am just about to the point of cutting it out. just about. Will it protect better than the sienheil (sp?) absolutely. Does it look as good, no.
connections, they left too much open in my opinion, I really wanted the whole thing covered to where you just about can't use the speakers or mike. Why, just because. The silicone covers do flap open and seem to have tabs to hold down pretty well. I doubt they would tolerate constant use for more than 6 months. The flaps themselves do see well attached and sturdy they would not rip off I don't thing. but the might get to where they don't tuck in cleanly.
Side note: I do not use it every day now. I will use it on weekends when I am more active. The DX itself is very sturdy. I have dropped mine 3 times now without a case, not from very far, not on concrete, etc etc.
