Mine was from Best Buy -- I emailed them a copy of my BB receipt, and they shipped out a replacement case.

Maybe not OCD just ED thank you for adding your "$2" worth for the sake of telling everyone you brought a $2 case from ebay.

Don't have to get personal and insulting because I gave people good advice. You can buy rubberized cases for 2-5 bucks on Ebay and avoid all of this insanity.

I can understand your anger over my comment though if you get this worked up about a phone case.
 
Well, after one day using the new case it has started to loosen up around the top right corner. It was super tight putting it on the first time yesterday and it's been on since. I'm starting to wonder if maybe it's the holster clip pushing against that corner causing it to get loose so quick.
Anyone else with a new case experiencing this?

I have the holster combo also and haven't had any problems with it loosening with the new one. Is yours rubber or smooth inside?

I also notice the new case and how tight it is solved the irritation I was having with accessing the on/off/unlock button.

Ditto - holster works perfectly with new case (did with old as well).

The top half of mine is slightly loose also. Still feels tighter than the original one, but not sure if it'll continue to loosen. I'm constantly taking it in and out of the holster case during the day so that may be causing to loosen a little faster than others.

to be honest, i'm using the white one right now... not the black one. and no, i've only used the holster like twice throughout this week. Still tight though.

i wonder if it's the difference of having the extra coverage above the camera or if i just got a bad replacement.
 
btw, have seidio replace anyone's innocase II that weren't purchase directly from Seidio's Website? I'm curious to know how they are handling RMAs for cases bought from other retailers

I bought mine at Best Buy. The only extra step was to scan a copy of my receipt and incude it in my RMA. The replacement has been shipped but I'm still waiting for delivery.

My concern is that I bought the gunmetal grey color and was shipped the ash grey as a replacement. I was told that they are the same but the ash grey looks MUCH lighter on the website.
 
I bought mine from mobilecityonline (24 bux) and they replaced it just fine.

After a week of daily hardcore use, the case fits better than ever. it is rock solid and hasn't loosened up at all, nor can dust get in from what i can tell. i have the extra felt on the top of the camera, so that helps i suppose, and with my sgp anti fingerprint protector, its a perfect fit!

very satisfied!
 
Hey Guys,

I asked the Mods to change the thread title because Seidio has been actively helping us and aiding us in the RMA process for problematic cases. I thought it was time to change the title so that we aren't ruining Seidio's reputation. Also SeidioSeidio has confirmed that all cases shipped by Seidio's website will be rubberized on both exterior and interior.

so heres a question, if you order through amazon to save a little $$ what do you get, old or new? I assume they did not "recall" the ones shipped to thier distributors .

While they might say they exchange it for the updated Version how much time and expense is it costing you to go through the process. While waiting for the new version are you going to keep V1 on your phone risking the same scratches as HTC's phone has received, i would'nt? Now you risk accidential droppage etc for the time of the exchange.

So are they forcing you to buy from them directly, to make sure you are getting the updated version, thus making more $$$ selling direct

While they say theres no issue with case causing scratches on the phone, its strange they made changes to manufacturing process? No company likes to spend money on tooling (expensive) or a manfacturing process changes if they were not having issues.

Siedo is always the 1st to release new products for new phones etc, maybe this time they were too quick

Personally i would not be looking for this case anywhere other then Direct for a long time, i am sure the faulty versions will be shipped to thier suppliers without a care, or revision on the insides to be sold on ebay and amazon

I ordered mine through amazon and just uploaded that receipt. Got a brand new one w/felt above the camera cutout.
 
just returned my 3 cases to BB and got my $90 back. what a crappy product from seidio. never did get a response from the email i sent them. i will never buy a product from seidio again.
 
Has anyone used this case with a clear shield (I use Ghost Armor)? I'd like to have the phone protected with or without the case and I'm hoping to find a hard plastic case that can fit both.
 
I got my RMA from seidio today. I originally purchased a Pt case from best buy and it creaked and moved around a bit. I let seidio know about and they were on it right away.

The new RMA case seems to have a slightly higher material quality. Smoother and feels better. The case seems even tighter than original and lets hope it stays that way.

Thanks a ton Seidio!
 
Got my replacement today. It's not quite was rubbery on the inside as I expected but much better then the original. Felt all the way around the camera.

There is still one spot on the right edge, lower half that still flexes and makes a popping sound when pushed on. The case no longer wiggles around the corners though.

The good news is that it is very close in color to the gunmetal grey case I bought at BB. Slightly lighter in color but that's just normal variation for most any production line.
 
I purchased this case on ebay earlier in the week from this seller:
Black Seidio Innocase II Surface for HTC EVO 4G - eBay (item 400131680464 end time Jun-28-10 03:48:39 PDT)

I was initially worried that the case would not be rubberized after looking at this forum. Well, the case came in today and I'm happy to report that it is indeed rubberized but the felt like someone else mentioned stops at the base of where the camera is. I cannot comment on the fit right now because I haven't received my phone. But just letting you guys know that apparently this ebay seller has the new stock.

Please PM your order #, I will follow up Tuesday

Sorry about this.

Seidio
 
Mine arrived today. The fit compared to the first version is night and day, not a mm of give to be felt anywhere. Gotta say I missed this case the week my Evo spent butt-naked.
