Accessories Otterbox coming out with case for eris

[wiattc]

The invisishield you have on yours now can be left on...the otter box is just a piece of self stick plastic also...No cover for the screen like the ipod versions...Disappointed....
Kind of not really an otterbox then huh...

The site says it has the face cover..guess we shall see when we get ours in.

Would LOVE to have a real otterbox with an attached front clear cover....tired of these dumb plastic sheets....

does anyone know if it has any kind of belt clip with the otterbox

I was all about this until I saw the price. Absolutely not.

Anyone get the Otter yet and can state its thickness? In possible comparison to a innocase II?

The PDF for the Otterbox states its dimensions but no thickness. Seidio states a 1mm thickness of the innocase, I ordered one so I will I'll see. Also I emailed Otterbox to see, will let you guys know.

I was wondering the same thing, too! Moreover, I am hoping that it's compatible with the Innodock Jr charging dock but in emails to both Seidio and Otterbox, both of them plead ignorance regarding compatibility with other company's products - probably a good C.Y.A. insurance policy?

The Innodock Jr certainly LOOKS compatible with the Eris Otterbox, as the dock is flexible enough to work with the Innocase as well as with the Seidio's 3500mAh extended battery when it's installed on the Eris.

Anyone have any experience regarding the Otterbox / Innodock pairing?

i wouldn't have even clicked into this thread if i hadn't seen an otterbox on a blackberry the other day...i was majorly impressed. i had never seen a case like that - a clear protective film to keep dust and most things wet away from keys and screen, a hard plastic cover with 'lips' or 'walls' all over it to sort of compartmentalize water and dirt/dust coming from other directions, and a rubber skin to surround it all to give you comfort, grip, and even more environmental protection.

well thought out. i'm heading over to their site...lets see how much this costs....

use this coupon: TechBargains0110p
Free shipping and it saves you 3.50 on the case. Got it shipped for 31 bucks.

I would also like to know how people feel if they have the innocase II for the Eris. Ive been eying that case and holster combo for a month now, but decided to go with the Otterbox.

i just got the innocase yesterday and it is awesome. The case is super slim and barely adds bulk. Plus the texture is very similar to the back cover of the phone. Go over to that desktop cradle thread and someone posted pics of the case and the cradle thingy. It is very nice and IMO worth every penny. I did also get the smartphone experts screen protectors and tried to put one on but the fit wasn't as good as i had hoped and it didnt sit well so it is screen protector less for now and i love it. ha

Omg too expensive.

 

[rmartin27]

30 for an otterbox? Too expensive?

No $30 for a case is expensive.

 

[mhrebin]

thats why you buy more stuff to offset the realization of spending 30 bucks on a case.lol

+1. already got to test it out, too. dropped my phone big time. case took a beating with some dents here and there but still looks good. and phone was well protected. case didn't come off either.

So you've never had the luxury to own an innocase or an otter? Sad sad story..you get your money worth.

[homerjrules]

just ordered mine with the same code. knocked the price down to $31 and some change total.

My dad has the Otterbox case for his iPhone 3G and it's too bulky. When he took off the case to clean it, I never noticed how slim the iPhone 3G was.

OK well now i will be wrapping my eris with an otterbox due to todays incident. Dropped it in parking lot and all hell broke loose. Back case popped off, battery flew out, but luckily it did not land on the face (although I have a skinomi screen protector). All this from 3ft off the ground. The back case is damaged in several places (scuffs/scratches), and now feels a bit "wiggly" on one side when attached. The phone works fine but I am now too concerned about this lego effect when dropped so I am hoping the otterbox will both protect and hold it all together the next time this happens, and you know it will. All the damage in the photo is from this drop. It was in great shape before this.

 

[cpupeli1]

should be receiving an innocase for my Eris in a couple days, will be posting pics of it A_SAP

 

[Gevis]

They have a $20 one now too. I think I might end up getting the $30 one.

Anyone have live pictures though? people say that it's too bulky, but for the protection it provides it doesn't look like it really adds much at all.

Measurements

Otterbox 4.63 x 2.37 x .68
HTC Eris 4.45 x 2.19 x x .51

How much bulk are we talking? Want my baby protected....but if it is way to bulky in my pocket it isn't going to fly.

Let us know when you get yours and how it feels!!!

 

[Gevis]

We're talking less than a tenth of an inch added to each side...That's not bulky.
