Accessories Your choice for best Droid X case...and why?

[jbhumph]

After much debate, I just placed my order for the Phantomskinz Carbon Fiber skin. I really do not like the bulk cases add and the more I read about the phantomskinz, the more I love....plus I think the carbon fiber black looks awesome

Promo code "summersale2010" also worked perfectly and gave me a 30% discount...for 20 bucks, I don't think I can go wrong with my choice

It won't protect your phone if you drop it though.

Well, the box was just a snap plastic thing, so looks just like I got it from the store. Even if the Ebay one is like the same, it would be better worth it, so much cheaper.

I'm leaning this way as well. I bought two Rocketfish cases tonight and I'm going to take them back. They seem really cheap. Not worth $25 + tax IMO.

I do realize this....but honestly, I've only dropped one phone one time. Yes, I know it only takes one time but I'm so careful with my phone....plus I'm hoping to find a case in the near future that will be more of what I'm looking for. Call me picky but I really don't like the ones that have been released ATM

I am looking forward to these by Seidio and i am also considering using the Carbon fiber Chromatics from Phantom skinz.

Seidio:

Phantomskinz: Might just use these alone

I might just get both, and use the phantomskinz primarily and the case, if i am going to be out, like at school..

those are really nice i just got this one blue for me pink for my wife they fit great and it feel like the phone dont have a case its so nice and slim.

I'm gonna wait for Otterbox to come out with a "Commuter" case for the X. I have/had one for my BB Tour, and its pretty slick.

^^^^^^^^^^^ What he said...

 

[xclr82xtc]

well...i REALLY want to be able to use the docks, so i think that im just gonna go with ghost armor and a clip...but i cant find a clip. preferably one with the screen facing in. anyone got a link to one?

BUT..that seidio looks awesome to..so maybe ill wait.

also, the docks have that removable peice, will any of these cases fit with it removed.?

Can you post some pics and compare it to the rocketfish case when it comes in?

After much debate, I just placed my order for the Phantomskinz Carbon Fiber skin.

Just put mine on this weekend. I used the TechTips on the site:

1. A common household hair dryer may be used to help dry the pattern at Step #13. Be careful to use it sparingly and only on the lowest setting. The film can burn or shrink if overheated.
2. Making an application solution using water and a very small amount of baby wash or baby shampoo will allow for easier alignment of the film with the edges and cut-outs and will give the more time for installation.

Took about 30 minutes. It would have been a real chore without the soap/water solution and the hair dryer on low. These two steps made it a lot easier.

Can someone who has one of these maybe post pictures comparing it to something similar size (like a deck of cards or something) both with and without the case? Maybe measure the thickness with the case on?

I like the case but I don't want to make it too much thicker.

Sure. Should get it this week.

I just got a Cellet case and when I put the phone in, it automatically switches to the car dock ? There isnt a magnet in the case so I dont know why its doing this.

edit--after further review it does not activate the car dock..When you put the phone in the case you just get the notification but it never activates it.

So I just received the Ebay version of the Rocketfish case in Red.

Initial Impressions:

• Unfortunately I do not have my previous Rocketfish case (as I just returned it) but the Ebay case appears to be darker in color.
• It does make the phone noticeably thicker and slightly wider but I personally do not mind.
• The texture feels slightly more grainy than the Rocketfish.
• There is a stronger scent of the "Rubber" paint than the Rocketfish. It almost feels and smells like the case was just colored lol.
• So far in my limited hands on, there is no discoloration of the case nor any staining on my hands (Not sure in the future though!)
• There is some chipping along the edges of where the two pieces meet, but it's actually less apparent than my Rocketfish. (Picture #3)

Conclusion:

There certainly is a different feel than the Rocketfish case (albeit a slight one), but the price difference makes it manageable ($5.00 vs $25.00). If I would make this purchase again, I would.

Cool thing about the case:

The case includes a coin slot on the right side for users to easily dissemble! (Picture 4)

@Kiri Thanks!

It looks the exact same from the review:

YouTube - Review: RocketFish Snap-On Soft Touch Cover for the Motorola Droid X

Yet you think it adds more width/bulk to the phone than the Rocketfish?

Oh sorry I meant that it adds more bulk as a case, not any more than the Rocketfish. I find that they felt the same in my hand.

 

[xclr82xtc]

i dont know if im imaginingin stuff or what, but i could of sworn on otterbox this morning (2am) it said that both the droid x and the droid cases were coming soon..anyways, the droid 1 cases are in now...maybe im just delirious though

 

[twister6]

Good review!!! I ordered the same one from eBay (black color) a few days ago. Just want to mention that Rocketfish also has a bigger speaker opening (prototype speaker) while this one is perfectly cut out.

Exact same case I received today, for only 5 bucks it is a great deal. I am extremely pleased with it.

I just ordered the flip type leather wallet from pdair Motorola DROID X PDair Accessories, Zubeh

 

[2horses]

I'm finding that I carry mine by itself more than I thought I would and that vertical pouch with the belt clip looks really nice (link in post above)! A bit spendy though, will have to think on that one and do a little more shopping.

Thanks for the tips! I should have mine tomorrow

I just got the VZW silicon slip on. Works great. Cheap.

I have a nutshell case made in New Zealand from high quality leather very nice, super tough metal clip but does not swivel. Takes 2 weeks being it has a long way to get to the states. A bit pricy mine was 65.95 after $10.00 shipping but worth it in my opinion. I can post some good pics if anyone is intrested.

Motorola Droid X belt case

Got the Phantomskinz in the mail today...VERY, very easy to apply and I think it looks great! I found it very forgiveable as far as giving you another chance to reposition pieces as long as you don't aply a lot of pressure to it at first. Once you start to really press down, it adheres very well.

Not sure if I'm going to leave the top pieces on it but LOVE the way the back looks and feels. Phone grip is a lot better...not that it was bad before but after holding it with these applied, it just feels better to me!
