Case woes

Why???

I use my Touch Pro 2 for work and regular every day use..lots of data.

To me the perfect case is a snap-on case with a Zagg screen protector. You have protection for the edges of the phone and the face.

BUT...the Touch Pro 2 has flaws where you have to open the phone to take out the memory card, get to the battery, and you have to get to the reset spot.

The little clips on every snap-on case I have ever had get broken after taking the back off repeatedly. What to do? Plus the case companies charge $30 for those little flawed cases.

Has anyone come up with a way to keep the little tabs from breaking off of the snap-on cases?

This is a solution to not opening to case everytime you want to soft reset-

Just make a small hole in the case. It's great for those that flash ROMs daily...

Just make sure the hole lines up correctly, mine was a little off becuase I just eye-balled it.

I had the same issues. I get my cases off ebay or in the mall(so many funky designs, lol), and I've never paid more than $10. I used to reinforce the tabs with super glue but then I did the reset hole mod, and I just use a USB cable if I need to access my card. Now I never have to take off the case unless I'm changing cases.

Have you tried the Body Glove for Sprint Touch Pro 2? I have used body glove for years now, great products...and arn't cheaply made. They are a pretty tight fit but they don't peel the battery door off. Some stores carry them, just look around and ask them if you can put it on your phone...but make sure its for CDMA and not GSM...

That is what I have now

The front won't stay on after 2 months because the tabs broke off. The back is hanging on by threads.

I must have a talent for breaking those tabs. Part of it is taking out the memory card for an upgrade and the other is resetting the device.

I just found this in another thread and made an order for a Verizon case.

It's not the greatest option but Sprint's cover cannot be found anywhere.
