anyone have a discount code from here???

The holster worked fine for me. I am using my old Mogul holster.I dropped mine to get the scratches

i use the pouch i had from my TP1

I also gotta say the Hero is pretty tuff
I dropped it at least 2 times on hard floors & wooden floors
an dont even have a scratch or dent...

ive never dropped it...i had both the tp1 and hero, both are starting to rub off and turn black

Think about it for a minute. What most likely is happening is that when you insert the phone inside of the pouch that corner of the phone is used to guide the rest of the phone into the holster. Its possible you may not always get it in on the first try?

oh yea i know that its from rubbing along the sides... but it always goes in... its just that sometimes it catches on the side more... i had just purchased a new pouch holster a couple days ago..the inside is very different from my other one....so hopefully this wont rub off anymore paint...

im really liking the seidio combo case/holster..but its a bit pricey

Hey where did you get that case from?

[lawsofpower48]

its this one...but you do NOT want it... its rubbing off the hero paint..thats why i had this thread opened up.. the inside is almost a suade type material..so it catches on the phone everytime i put it back inside the pouch...

I am using my Mogul case as well and I have not had any problems with paint rubbing off. You could probably ebay one for next to nothing. The phone is a little loose in the case though...

Funny, I have that same case and laptop. Same thing that happened to my Hero but mines a bit more. No big deal though.

hahaha. maybe everyone else has the same thing on here

i have more rubbing off on the side of the phone..but those are less noticeable. it got really bad on my htc tp1... the entire back cover was with black spots
