You have told me EXACTLY what I wanted to know about the differences between the two. I'll be ordering one once my pay check clears (woot!), thanks a lot.

Oh quick question: How long did shipping take? I'm moving on Saturday and need to decide what address to send it to.

 

Don't forget to check for coupon codes. They are out there.

 

Good review and pics. Quality really does look top notch. How is the thickness of this case versus that of the seidio active case?

 

The real question is how does the Tough Case compare to the very much M.I.A. Otterbox Defender and Commuter?

 

That case looks very nice but I wonder if its anything close to the defender as well. My friend has one. When I asked how good it was he threw his phone against the wall. Needless to say the wall was damaged and his phone was not.

Edit: he has the iphone

 

Does that cutout at the bottom interfere with using the optical joystick?

 

Thanks for this review and the responses to the questions!

I just ordered one, hope I like it more than the BestBuy soft case I grabbed last night.

 

Good review.

I was holding out until the Otterbox Defender, but now I think I'm going with the Case Mate.

Thanks!

 

Thanks for review, I was sold on the Seidio Active but this looks great. I like that there is more of a lip on the front, but not too much. It also looks like the camera lens is recessed a tad more than with the Seidio, is that right?

 

I LOVE the CaseMate Tough case. Wonderful feel, especially for my slippery fingers. No sacrifice at all on the optical joy stick, on/off and volume buttons, camera function. Shipping was lightning fast even with standard (free) USPS.

Since it's a rubbery, textured surface (which I love) it does attract lint and dust, but it blows off easily with a puffer. Some context: I work with horses, sooo ... dust, mud, animal hair, dander, you name it, is in my environment.

 

Can you clip it to your belt or did I miss that? Thanks!

 

Just ordered mine thanks to your great review.

Hopefully I'll get it next week! I'm not sure where it's being shipped from yet.

 

I received mine today. You're review is spot on. This case is extremely nice compared to the rocketfish soft case I tried originally. I was very surprised by how responsive the power/volume buttons were with the Tough Case on, especially considering how recessed they are to prevent inadvertent pocket presses. It also has a great grip and feel, and it came with a bonus screen protector. The only thing I can't speak to is the protection it would provide in the event of a fall. I'm in no hurry to conduct that test.

Thanks again for your review!

kisby: the case doesn't have a belt clip. I'm not sure if it would fit any currently produced clips.

This is the one I've been wanting,ordered! Great review.

Case-Mate HTC Incredible Tough Case - Black by: Case Mate -

Never heard of seller but from other threads it looks like there haven't been any problems.

 

I live in NW Florida, so hopefully I should get it early-middle next week.

 

How hard is it to remove from jean pockets? That's usually the deciding factor whenever I buy a case.

 

Thanks... just ordered.... hope its legit
