Re: Best case on ebay
 
i have the same case as tracerit. i tried taking it off my phone and i was so scared it was going to scratch it. it really hugs it tight. overall though, i very much prefer it over the silicone case that the same seller sells.

seidio case is the best ever. You are paying for quality + a warranty so you cant beat that.

I hate to break it to you but it does, look at the 2nd picture carefully, it does split it apart somewhat and create that "gap".

That was the first reason why I am not using it anymore and instead using a soft silicone style.

I have ordered this one directly from PDaire http://cgi.ebay.com/PDair-Black-Alum...3286.m20.l1116
I had one like this for my original touch and loved it. I gives you great protection and the clear cover for the touch screen saves you from damaging it. I cannot talk directly about this particular case as it is being sent but if it is like the one I had before it is a great case.

I have to admit I was tempted to buy the Seidio case - but my previous experience with their Seidio 6700 crystal case has kept me from doing so.

I bought that case, and one tab broke 7 months into ownership - and of course the warranty is only 6 months. A second tab broke shortly thereafter, and I stopped using that case altogether.

My old roommate and I have had problems with Seidio products and customer support - so I'm not likely to go back to them unless they offer something truly unique. As it is, I opted to buy a $7 blue case off EBAY and am quite happy with it. It does have the drawback of being white between pieces - but I used a black permanent marker to correct that deficiency.

i would advise you against getting that one. that's the lower quality case where they take a white plastic case, paint it black, then spray the rubberized material over it. that case will flake easily.

WHERE WERE YOU YESTERDAY?!?

Just kidding. I'm going to give it a try for a few days and if it looks bad or like it'll do permanent damage, I'll probably go back to the old stock HTC case, if I use one at all. The gap has been the big thing stopping me from getting a case but the chrome's starting to flake off mine also, the HTC case isn't too useful and I'm still always squeamish thinking about the next time I end up dropping it. I'll only be out 7 bucks and might be able to sell it for 5 or something if I don't end up liking it.

I was umm...

LOL Actually, the first case I got was the official Sprint one. It created a HUGE gap and I the sliding was very rough. I took it off a week later and the gap remains there for a while. So I got one of these cases like the OP mentioned, the gap isn't that bad compare to the official case but still it's rough sliding and the gaps just bother me. I am afraid one of these days it'll become two parts!

Oh yeah it's hard to put these cases on alright, let along taking them off... have to use forces especially the clips on the edge... I am afraid I might end up breaking the phone in parts!

Finally the soft gel silicone style arrived and I bought it right away... now the gap is gone, it slides with no resistance, very firm grip and feels great in my hands.

Again, YMMV. Everybody has their own preferences.
