Best Case For Mogul?

[sanjsrik]

could you post a link to the one you did buy? I've been looking for one of those but the ones on this site open up like books not attach to either half and slide open.

They say in the description for this one that slide out is not affected. I am thinking they have 2 separate pieces that are flushed together that 'snap on' to the phone itself. Ill order one and let you know

I bought the black rubberized one from seidio and I couldn't stand it. it makes the phone much bulkier and doesn't go into pockets easily. I imagine the crystal one would do this better, but like someone already said, these things collect a lot of dirt/dust. mine also hindered the sliding quite a bit, enough that I returned it for a battery. I figure that I bought insurance for a reason, and anything that I cqrry around 24/7 is bound to get messed up.

My problem here though, is that when sprint sends you a "new" phone, its a refurbished piece of shit. I went through 5 treos, thats right.....5 in only 2 months. Each one had a different problem...but 3/5 were screen issues. Finally i just said f this, i am getting a mogul! Lol. $600 later....ouch!

i have stayed away from rubber cases, I learned that with my treo. I had a rubber 'skin' for it, but it was impossible to stick in my pocket, much less retrieve. The rubber is great, unless you want to stick it in your pocket. Becomes a total mess, especially if the pants your wearing that day just happen to be remotely snug fitting. The rubber is just too....sticky.

How did it hinder the sliding ability? That is my main concern...I have screen protectors and what not, all I want is a case that wont hinder the sliding function.

Crystal front with the rubber back is a good compromise. It doesn't get that dust and you get the good grip from the rubber back.

It does bulk the phone up a bit though.

Don't get me started on those POS treos, i had about 7 or 8 in about a year, and each one was refurbished, I kept asking why not a new one and Verizon's answer was, "We can send you as many refurbished as we want."

What a piece of crap.

First post, long time lurker...

Initially, I bought the Seidio slim case (front and back)...Used it for a month or so, I just didn't like the fact that it somewhat "spreads" out both sides of the Mogul, and I was afraid that over time it would wear out the slide out keyboard. Looked online, and bought the standard aluminum case. I agree that it can be a bit cumbersome to open and close, but it's all about the protection of the phone. For basic use, it's great, as you can access most of the phone's functionality without using the touchscreen. At this point, the cover is a bit scratched up, luckily, 20 bucks is not a big deal if it has to be replaced. The nice thing is that it will take a lot of abuse, and not a big deal to throw it into your pocket with your ipod or keys. Trust me, I am probably the most OCD person you could know, and I am never worried about it scratching. Until something better is made available, my vote is for the metal case.

Hope this helps.

seidio's rubberized case does not work with the extended battery.

I feel your pain man....I really really do....I think me and you went through the same shenanigans But, to look at the bright side, atleast we have moguls now! Haha!

Has anyone tried the "BodyGaurdz" for the mogul? I think this would probably be what I am looking for...just need someone to say "Oh yea, I have that and it just totally rocks. Couldn't be happier"

Extended battery? Link? Does it have a longer lifespan than the original? Is it bulkier?
