Re: Rubberized hard case for Sprint Touch Pro-2 Ebay

Saw this thread and thought I'd drop my 2-cents.
I originally purchased the case listed above. However when I bought mine it didn't have the proper hole drilled so I had to do that myself. I didn't like the case due to the fact that the two holes were ugly and tapping the close "X" was difficult due to the edge of the case being so close. I did a little more research and found this little jewel.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rubberized-Hard-...ht_2814wt_1165

It fits my Sprint Touch Pro2 perfectly. According to the page it supposedly fits the verizon model too but I can't gurantee that.

Notice that the case only goes around the edges so no proximity sensor blocking and your full screen is easily touchable. The other positive is that the back where the clip would go is flat instead of other cases where it's raised and you'll end up with a square hole if you don't use the belt clip...and c'mon seriously, who uses the belt clip.

I know this isn't as nice as the seidio case but I figured that some day I'm going to break it and buying another $9.00 case is easier for me to swallow than buying another $30 one.

I just wanted to share so that some folks may save themselves the trouble of buying the other case and being disappointed and then having to buy another.

Hey, this looks really cool. Thanks for the link. Would it be possible for you to take some more real life pics than whats supplied in their auction? I'd just like to see how the fit looks once its on. Thanks.

Re: Rubberized hard case for Sprint Touch Pro-2 Ebay

I have this case too in red. I have Verizon so no issues with the hole. Not bad for the price, but it does make it a lot bulkier. I didn't like that the edges of the case were white...made it look kinda cheesy/cheap so I used a sharpie to make them black...made a huge difference in the way it looks.

One thing I think won't last though is the tabs...too many times removing the back and putting it back on (to access the battery or SD card) and they are going weaken.

It's not the same. The other case is more open on the screen. Does not have the cut out on the top of the screen. I have this case and it's great for the price, but the other case looks nicer to me.
And white on the edges drove me nuts. Sharpie does not last and wears off, but it did make it look better for a few weeks.

Re: Rubberized hard case for Sprint Touch Pro-2 Ebay

I just bought my TP2 off ebay, I'm about to grab either the Zagg or Siedio cases, and I'm wondering if they fit in a holster w/belt clip? I'd prefer to have the phone in a slim protective case and then slip in and out of the pouch/holster that you can belt clip to your waist.
