Hi!

I just took the plunge and decided to buy the Droid X. I'm currently with AT&T until my Droid X gets here. I am pretty happy with AT&T but I am pretty upset they took away unlimited data and I do NOT want an iPhone. (I already here my step-dad singing about his EVERY SINGLE DAY :rolleyes:)

In any case, I want an affordable case for my Droid X. I don't PLAN on dropping it but accidents can and do happen so I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I don't want a holster or anything like that. My phone will mainly be in my purse when I'm not using it.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this post and I look forward to your responses. :)
 
I just got the Seidio Active X case off of Amazon for $30 bucks shipped (well, it would have been $30 bucks if I hadn't opted for next day delivery). I know that sounds like a lot for a case, but I personally feel like this case provides substantial protection for that price. The thing that I like best about it is that there is no chance of it splitting if/when (ok let's just be honest, in the lifetime of owning a phone it's really a question of 'when' and not 'if') it falls. And unlike the jelly cases, this one has a plastic exo-skelleton covering the corners and sides.

But if you're not looking for something that expensive you can find several jelly cases and two piece plastic cases for under $15 bucks online, or even at your local Verizon Wireless store usually.

The Active X provides very good protection against drops

RUBBERIZED PURPLE HARD CASE COVER FOR MOTOROLA DROID-X - eBay (item 280543701275 end time Nov-01-10 03:30:08 PDT)

I will probably get a Seidio case in a few months or get my parents to buy it for me for an X-mas gift.

Thank you for your help.:)


Ah well, we should have seen that coming eh! Lol, perhaps they'll have a purple version of the Active X case by Christmas for you. ;)
