I finally found an accessory that I like!

Seidio has a rubberized black case that clips to the two pieces of the phone, unlike most cases where you have to open it to slide the keyboard out. It's slim, it gives grip to the phone, and they even sell a belt clip with SD card slots made for use with the case! Cell phone accessories, as a whole, (coming from a guy who used to sell Sprint) are pretty terrible, no quality, never works right, never as promised. Well I think this product actually is pretty good.

That link is for the Crystal Case. I put the one for the black rubberized case in the OP.

I have had this case for several months - the extended battery cut out model. I like it. Others have complained that the little tabs that hold it on to the phone case break. Some of my tabs have broken, but I use two sided scotch tape to hold it on more securely.

My only wish is that it has some door or sliding lid to cover the SD slot so the card could not pop out unexpectedly.

I had that problem with mine, they took it back and sent me the new one that does not require a cutout for the extended battery, and the tabs have held up great. I'm not sure what they changed but the new tabs don't even have a crack and it's been well over four months, whereas the original design started cracking and breaking within a week.

It's a good product, their service is excellent, and the super extended battery allows me to list to MP3's on my bluetooth headphones all day while at work while constantly checking my exchange account.

As for the holster with mem card slots. It great as well. More secure than the OEM pouch. The meme card holder is useless if you the new rubberized case as it has a tab that covers the mem card slot to ensure that the card isn't ejected without removing the lower case.

Overall I recommend these accessories to friends that have the 6700.
I'm just in debate about which car charger/holster to get.

Just be aware that there have been A LOT of complaints on the pdaphonehome forum that the rubberized coating will start to peel after time. This even after the Seidio fix to repair the issue.

I think that their cases are terrible. I had the black rubberized case with battery cutout. after one day the rubber peeled off and after 3 days the tabs broke off. I then got the holster and the clear case with the battery cutouts. the holster lift tab broke off and the tabs on the clear case fell off. they dont even sell the black case anymore with the battery cutout. I dont have the patience to send that crap back so i threw it out. I ended up getting one of those anodized black metal cases off of ebay for 10 bux which is very sturdy. I been through all the cases and those metal ones are not perfect but they last longer than the Seidios.
