Cases for the Moment

Here are pics of the "official" case I got at the Sprint store. You get a black and a blue and they are rubberized. I'm actually using the blue front and the black back. They are pretty bulky and seem to make the slider slightly raised which I wouldn't think would be good for the phone. Anyway, cases like this where the front is above the speaker do not interfere with the senors.






Oh and the big hole in the back is for the belt clip which I think is really stupid! ;) Hope this helps someone! :)

Do NOT get this case from the store, you were right about the thing hiking the top up, it's not good for the phone. My spring that allows the top to slide out and back in is now sloppy from the stress put on it (slides open in my pocket occasionally through the day), and the top rattles against the bottom half when the phone vibrates due to the now slight gap. I now have to bring it back to the store to get it fixed somehow, or get a new one. I would rather get it fixed but knowing sprint.... >.>

Sometimes mine slides open a little in my pocket WITH THE CASE ON. I am so taking this case off. What a waste of $25! Hope my Phantom comes in soon! ;)

Think I'm sticking with the holster from my Innocased Treo Pro. Fits almost perfect and locks it in. I ordered some of the hard cases from ebay as my coworkers might not share my sentiment. But I think it'll be too bulky with those snap on cases.

Is there anyway you can postpics of the innocase I have been looking for a holster like yours and where did you purchase it

I've mentioned before it's a holster made for an innocased Treo Pro. It just happens to fit a bare Moment very well. It fits a hard cased Hero even better. I actually bought mine at Sprint when I got my Treo Pro as they had a better deal on it than all the places I found online. You can hop into a Sprint store and take one out of the package to see. Though I'd have a hard time justifying paying $28 for a holster for my phone. Someone else here migrated from a Treo Pro as well and is also using his treo Pro as well.

Considering there is some leeway with the Seidio holsters, you might be able to find one for a phone that's as wide or a touch wider than the Moment but with similar all around dimensions. The spring clip up top gives the holster variability to fit other phones who's dimensions are close.

My holster is in the car. I can try and take pics another night.

I would like to know if they will work for a bare battery.
Anyone know off hand?

Going back to the store to see if the other keyboards lock better, as I am thinking the keyboard may have been loosened by the stores case.

I would like to know what you find out. My keyboard has slight play in it also after using the "official" case.

I found some silicone skins on ebay. How would those work with the slider?

Silicone Skin Gel Cover Case For Samsung Moment Sprint - eBay (item 260521181480 end time Dec-10-09 16:57:32 PST)

Those look interesting. They appear to have a little slider of their own built in (you can see the plastic on the ends in the "open" picture). I might try one of these out for only 8 bucks.

My search has ended.
I got this off a cart vendor at the mall ,right outside the Sprint store and it fits both Droid and Moment he said.
I paid $19.99 but it looks far cheaper on line.

Universal Leather Case w/ Magnetic Flap for Motorola V3 / LG Shine / Samsung, Black
I think that is the one.

The only difference I see is the name ultra is on my cover so maybe check out the site.

Picture from my moment of course.

The back has a clip or you can put through belt loops and protects the screen of course.
