Hard case that doesn't hinder the four bottom keys of VZW TP2?
 
I'm looking for a hard case that affords unhindered access to the four bottom keys of my Verizon TP2.

The Verizon version (as well as Sprint's version) of TP2 has their bottom keys located so close to the edge that the bottom rim of a hard case usually blocks easy finger access to the keys. What I've been reduced to do is to locate my finger on the top edge of a key, slide down a little, and press the key, because if you try to land your finger directly on top of the key, the bottom rim of the hard case hinders the action, due to its thickness. I wish VZW placed the bottom keys a little apart from the bottom edge, like T Mobile did.

So, what I'm looking for is a hard case with a bottom rim that is suppressed enough or thin enough so that it doesn't keep your finger from directly landing on the bottom keys.

Any suggestions?

The Seidio Innocase works pretty well for me.

I have a very cheap hard case from ebay that doesn't interfere with the phone's bottom row. Works incredibly well, even has lining on the inside to keep the unit from scratching from the case. Spent about $4 on mine:

It says "The purchased item info is no longer available."
Is there another link?

Agree on the Innocase - Doesn't interfere with bottom buttons, and adds VERY little bulk to the phone.

does your hard case, create a gap between the keyboard and the LCD? Would you be able to post the seller's name or the store name as the link doesn't work, purchased item information no longer available as New Daddy mentioned.

Thanks

I guess I have to third the Seidio Innocase http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr2htp2s-bk.htm

As this is my first device and I got this case for it, I almost didn't understand why you were even asking as this case works very well but creates no interference for me.

I guess I'm glad I got this one then.

Also fits well in my holster.

I know it costs a few bucks and some have complained that if its side clips that hold it ever break off then its useless but I have found the clips to be very durable for just regular use. I suppose if I dropped it hard or threw it they could break but at least for the rear cover when I needed to remove it to get the rear battery cover off, the clips were not a problem and didn't feel like they were going to break at all and after re-clipped in just fine.

So I think over all its worth the few extra bucks this one might be over a e-bay unit.

i know you were looking at a hard case, while searching ebay last night I came across these? I might check these out, has anyone purchased these yet? They don't seem to be the "jelly" type of silicone, purchased one for my TP1 and it attracted lint.

I second, or third..err.. well, I think the Seidio Innocase, plus the Holster are the bee's knees..

I should note I gave the BodyGlove case a try, and while it works and may fit the bill for your requirements I ultimatly didn't like it and returned it.



So..cool, I always wanted to use that phrase somewhere. Now that I've used it, I'll probably never do it again. :scratch:

I agree the seidio case is awesome (I have two of them)

The problem is, if you take off the back too many times (too replace the battery) it is virtually impossible not to eventually have the tiny little tabs break off & then the case is totally useless.
