Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

Well, I initially purchased the Best Buy Siedio case. Today I decided to buy the Body Glove case offered by Sprint so I had options. What's pretty cool here is that the belt clip from the Siedio works for the Body Glove.

Here's my 2 cents on the cases...

The Body Glove case seems cheaply made with a fragile looking and feeling front bezel that holds everything together. I don't trust the front part, especially by the volume buttons where there is less meat then the rest. I honestly don't think this is a durable case and feel that one drop to the floor and it's all over. It looks nice and feels good in your hand with the textured back but again it feels cheaply made.

The Siedio case is solid. No thin peices of plastic here. I can honestly say there is not one vulnerable area on the case that concerns me, as does the Body Gloves front peice. There isn't much grip on the Seidio but I like the smooth rubbery coating they use, I feel it adds to the durability of this case.

All in all, they are both nice cases but I think the Seidio is going to be my everyday'er and I'll have the Body Glove to change it up if I'm feeling frisky!!!

Take it for what it's worth!!! My vote goes to Siedio!!!

Thanks for the comparison...thinking about going w. The sendo as the body glove is testing. My patience as far ease of taking off

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

Which one is THINNER in your hand and feel?

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

Body Glove is slightly thinner... I think the coating that Siedio puts on gives it that little extra!

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

Which one protects the camera lens best when you lay down on the side ?

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

I already ordered a Seidio case, just waiting on the merchant to get them in to ship it. I hope it's soon. That case looks like the shizz, and your review just reinforced my decision to go with Seidio. My phone looks naked without it. 8-[

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

Both cases protect the lens.

I agree w/ the comment about the area by the volume buttons feeling weak. I keep expecting to accidentally apply too much pressure one day and snap that section off.

I bought the Bodyglove because I had the phone in my hands and didn't want to risk dropping it the 1st weekend. I really like the case, especially the appearance, but it doesn't feel very strong.

I think you're right about 1 drop and it's gone.

Thanks for the review.

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

I like the BodyGlove. I got one installed.

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

I have used Seidio cases on my PPC-6700, Touch, Touch Pro and now Evo... I have even donated cases out after I have gotten rid of the device... I would swear by the Seidio cases as they have been excellent in fit, finish and feel....

2 things to keep in mind... first, the rubbery finish on the seidio cases do not play well with isopropyl alcohol... clean only with soap and water unless you really want a smooth case... second... and this holds true with almost all plastic cases.... if you are one of the type that pack extra batteries or sdcard and constantly swap either... expect the clasps that hold the case together to wear out... yet another plus to the seidio was that even after I wore out the clasps it still fit and protected the device from the initial (long) drop but popped off for the secondary slide..

bought that one yesterday from best by along with
the zagg screen, damn thing hard to come off

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

If you push down in the middle part of one of the pieces where they meet on the back of the phone, they come apart with ease. Just in case you got to clean the phone, change the battery or microSD card.

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

the package fail to let u kno how to remove it

i was tryin to remove it to fix my screen protector
cause it llifted the corner off when slidin on

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

Nahhh, it's easy... Apply slight pressure on the lower peice just below the split line in the middle. While doing this, lift the top peice from the sides of the phone at the split line and slide the top half up.

Take note of the clasp that locks it and you'll see what I mean.

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

I bought a case from Best Buy but I don't know the brand and I can't find the packaging. It looks like the Seido one from the first post but mine has two pieces and clasps around the entire phone. The OP looks like the 2 pieces come together in the middle of the center of the back. (redundant?)

Here's a couple pictures I took of mine. Never mind the ugly mug of the dude in the camera :)

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

That's a different one than the one I got... I like it though... Hope to see some at my local BB soon!!!

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

I have the same case almost made the same company tho
but it's the gun metal color one...Made by Platinum Series

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

I can say it's probably the best case I've ever had for a phone. The phone is tight and there is absolutely zero play. I highly suggest it to every Evo owner. There is a layer of felt on the inside to help protect your phone from the inevitable dust that will find it's way inside the case.

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

yeah it is...if it wasnt for me havin a gift card & 5,000 rewrds points
with best Buy I wouldnt have got it, thing was $30 & I got a ZAGG shield & car charger

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

I ordered teh Seidio case but I do not think I will keep it. I loved it the first day, but after about 48 hours on my phone, it seems to have a loose fit to it. I am not sure if the felt lining has been somewhat impacted which gives the phone more wiggle room or what, but bottom line, it now feels loose and I don't like it. I am thinking about trying the Seidio Active case that just came out or perhaps trying an otter box when they are released. Until then it sounds like I should hit up BB to see what they have available.

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

That case is made in china, the Seidio case is made in Tx and has the holster with it. That is the major diff.


Shell

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

i like the seido since its easy to swap batteries out of it

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

Not sure if you guys saw this but if the seidio case isn't as snug as you'd like it to be I posted a nice easy fix here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=124808

Mine felt a bit loose where there was a slight wobble. Was driving me crazy!!!

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

the body glove does feel cheap in hand especially on the front by the volume rocker, but i like the way it looked better than the siedo case. it doesnt make the phone feel any thicker or heavier, and the rubber grip ont he back is a nice touch. plus its only 15$ so if it breaks just get another!:headbang:

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

Yeah, I ordered the bodyglove too. I just like that it looks almost flush with the screen whereas the seidios look bulkier. Would love to see more pics from somebody that has the bodyglove in hand. My Evo and case gets here Tuesday. I only plan to have the BG until the Otterbox commuter comes out. It looks sick on the HD2!

Would you mind making a vid or showing some more pics of both cases D\/8? The screen-side especially. Thanks!

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

Did you check out the links to the reviews I provided on the original post? I don't think I can give you any better pictures than those. Good and Evo provides some really good close-ups from all different angles of both cases.

If you haven't already checked out the links, take a peek...!

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

Any evo and seidio case owners notice a wobble when kick stand isholding phone up?

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

I noticed that with the EVO "naked" as well... I don't think it's the case...

Try it without the case and see if you have the same wobble...

Please let us know!!!

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

I'll sheck em out now since I don't remember if i did before. Thanks.

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

will do once i receive my case, just ordered.

Btw seidio has free shipping right now for fathers day.also coupon code: DAD10 will get you 10% off purchases over $50 valid til the 20th.

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

well, my seidio case just saved my Evo from a 4 foot drop (face down) onto hard tile.
Almost had a heart attack...

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

I've bought seidio cases for both my mogul and touch pro's. I like them, they are great! But the cost, (was a lot more) is expensive. Like I mentioned in another thread, I like their products but I hate having to pay hundreds more for accessories on each phone upgrade!

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

You get what you pay for... That's my motto...

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

definitely, that's why i always buy the slightly damaged things when possible and applicable lol. I've saved so much money that way!

i think this time around I might buy the mugen battery. They've always been cheaper (i think) and promise the same. Seidio does have decent customer service though. So we'll find out!

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

How is the fitment overall for the seidio case? I'm wondering if it might fit with the invisible shield on, as i am bound to use it sometimes without the case and i would like to still be protected. Using a silicone sleeve right now which works fine but its not gonna be awesome against impact.

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

I had a slight loosness that I resolved with some felt contact paper... With a skin such as Invisible shield, it may be a perfect fit... Then again, you may still have some slight play between the phone and the case...

Re: Siedio Vs Body Glove! (Just my opinion)
 

Just received my seidio innocase and I really like it like I expected, there its a slight wobble if you tip it but the same wobble is their without the case.power button is a but header to hit but in sure il get use to it.
