The Shack won't sell me 3D case!!!

mikldom · #1 (**permalink**) 06-23-2011, 07:12 PM

I stopped by 3 Radio Shacks today to buy a Otterbox case for my 3D delivered today, and they all refused to sell me one!!! they said it is policy to not allow it to be sold until noon on Friday..

WTF?!!!

Then, I goto a Best Buy.. can't find any cases on Display, and then got in line to see somebody and waited 15 minutes, and the damn line never moved.. pretty terrible service there.

I guess I will just have to wait until tomorrow at noon.. sux... I WANT to spend my 50 bux, and can't BEG anybody to take it!!

I bought my case from best buy yesterday. Asked the girl and she pulled it out of the box for me. radio Shack tried to sell me one of those ugly bulky otterbox cases yesterday.

Too bad..

I know otterbox big an bulky, but, It has kept my EVO 4G still like new.. I am a Goverment housing inspector, and always outside, inside, banging into stuff, etc I dropped my EVO (in otterbox), down the stairs, and it was none the worse for wear.

I will swear by the otterbox defender case!!!.. my Seido extreme, broke at the corners (like I have seen all others do).. that is a weak spot on their extreme durable cases.. I especially like the built in screen protector, built in camera lens protector on the otterbox.. It is worth the 50 bux, and worth the extra bulk for the protection I desire.

The Best Buy by me had the Premiere cases as well as the Otterbox on the rack ready to buy today. I looked at the Otterbox one but it just was too bulky. I may go with the Premiere case since I like to have my phone on a belt clip.

I want to try an Otterbox case, but I'm scared to death that dust/fibers will get under the built-in screen protector, and scratch the hell out of my screen. I guess that never happened to you at all? I've had an invisibleSHIELD since launch on my Evo 4G, and it has kept my phone PERFECT. Blegh...what the hell am I gonna do?

I now it is overkill, but, I had another screen protector installed as well as the otterbox built in one.

no problems with scratches, and it works just fine with the touchscreen.

gorilla glass, generally not scratched by dust, sand, on the other hand, would likely cause havoc.

I just installed the ZAGG and the otterbox defender I got from radioshack and it works fine. the only thing is that the screen protector from OBD is liking to stick to the zagg creating annoying bubbles. I might just remove the zagg until I get a smoother screen protector because the zagg has a rubbery feel to it.

Get this. I went to RS to get a case yesterday at 6:30 pm and the guy told me he wasn't sure if he could sell me them to me because I didn't buy a phone from them. He sold them to me but that is total BULLCRAP! I don't like RS anyways and that just adds to it.

What I did was kept the invidisheild on and just ripped off the screen protector on the defender. Works fine and u can't even tell!! Cuz those bubbles it causes is quite annoying.
