High Gloss Silicone Protective Cover (Pix Inside)
 
I went with this one because it makes the camera flat with the surface so there aren't any scratching issues. Protects all the corners and just feels great on the phone. At first I was worried about slipping it into and out of my pocket and it hasn't been a problem at all either. Thought I would post up since no one else has. :thumbleft:

Not a bad looking case either....I did look at this one. How does it slide in and out of your pocket?

I have the high-gloss silicone one too, bought it at VZW store. Mine fits perfectly with my zagg, but only after my re-application of the invisishield. I think if you're a millimeter off, it will peel the corners.

I have that case since day 1, i love it! it makes the phone feel more solid and it protects the camera when being laid down on a flat surface
I read that Seidio is coming out with there Inno cases for our Droids soon
so when they come out, this will do until then. The inno case are even better as you can use them in the Seidio docks and some are even made out of high quality rubber.

FYI I just receive a case for my Incredible from Fommy.com i ordered, the AMZER Leather Snap on case Limited Edition, a hard plastic wraped with leather, looked nice on site, but needless to say it was not. A little bulky, hard to turn phone on and off , a 2 pc snapon, the snaps wont hold together when snapped. Not a lot of hard cases out yet, and this one is going back.

woot... i just ordered mine from there... it does leave access to the headphone jack, right? i ordered a generic armband case from that site as well, in hopes to use it as an mp3 player when i work out... (if i ever get off my fat ass)

also, looking closer at the OP, you took pics of your incredible with another incredible! weren't you scared that you would rip space/time ?

It does indeed leave access to the 3.5mm headset jack with the case one. And lol I'm right there with ya, I need to get into a routine also.

You got me, I did take the images with another incredible. :D And nothing happened and the space time continuum is still ok....was kind of hoping to make a discovery maybe even a nobel prize. :lol:

not really, considering his were obviously cropped or de-res'd to fit more easily on the site.

his pics were 383px × 640px
yours were 800px × 600px
the site (or the pic host you used) probably automatically resized them

also, a purpose built camera with a high quality lens will probably take better pictures than an integrated phone camera

third, yours almost certainly has optical zoom, whereas the camera on the inc is digital zoom only, and (if he used it) it decreases the effective megapixels drastically.

and finally, in the camera settings inside the inc, you have the option to reduce the resolution to 8m, 5m, 3m, 1m, and 640x384... useful if you want to save space on your memory card... 4mp is good enough for an 8x10 anyway, anything over that is just bragging rights.

*inhales* mmk :)

I wanted to post a note on this thread before it was lost in the sea of posts...

I ordered my silicone cover from amzer on the 9th and i JUST recieved it yesterday. Wow... way to go USPS

Anyway, the picture on their site is NOT accurate!!!!!

The silicone case case i got is still nice, still fits snug, but it's more of a solid dark-smoke color, so when it's on the phone, it just appears to be gloss black and you can just faintly see the HTC logo through the back. It doesn't have that diamond-ish pattern on it. It's slightly thicker than the camera lens so even when it's laying on the back, the camera is elevated off the surface.

I did have to take a razorblade to some of the edges left from the injection process, but that's no big deal.

I hope to get pics of it up soon.

I got the case from the first post, it's very nice. A little difficult to get on and off though.

I ended up not using it for the most part, because I love this phone caseless. I will use it when I have to go somewhere that I might drop it though, such as vacation or to a sporting event or something.

Verizon store wanted me to sign in to wait to buy it... I just waited for a guy to finish setting someone's phone up, and asked him really quick if he could ring me up, and he was ok with that. So anyone who finds this in a store, you don't have to "sign in like you're going to the doctors office" if you ask nicely.

Thanks for the heads up! They are $9.95 now at Amzer...

Re: High Gloss Silicone Protective Cover (Pix Inside)
 
figures...

i bought the combo silicone case + belt case, it's a nice case, not too fancy, and the phone fits in it very well, even with the silicone case on...

also, good luck on it taking less than 3 weeks to get to you... heh

I have used the high gloss silicone cover and it's really nice looking. I like the translucent zig zag pattern on the back. I also bought the black jelly cover which you can't see through and it's really good if you want a non-slick grip.

But my favorite, is the combo case with the clip on the back. Got it from Verizon. It's expensive at $29.95 but my son gets a 35% discount as an employee so that brought the price down to $20.00. The phone slides in and out of the case easily and it looks good too.

Re: High Gloss Silicone Protective Cover (Pix Inside)
 
I have the silicone one and it definitely does a good job but I've also noticed that it will peel the corners of the protective shields if you use the skinomi or Zagg kind. I'm looking for a harder solid mylar style cover now because there's no way to get the corners back down on this thing.
