Seidio Innocase Review (GREEN) UPDATED 56k BEWARE
 
I will be doing reviews and testing for Seidio products and received my first one to start with. ( Admins if you would like verification I do have that available ).

It is the Green ( Or Saga as they call it ) Epic 4g Case. I have provided a couple of pictures and will be posting a full review today with more photos to come. Possibly may do a video to show the sliding action since that has been a big question among the cases currently out.

Currently I'm going to be testing the sliding mechanism restriction, phone damage if any, and a few other things.



Seidio Innocase EPIC 4G (GREEN) Review

Review:
From first impression, the Seidio Innocase for the Epic 4g has a great feel all around the case. The rubberized no slip grip works wonders, yet still has a smooth to the touch finish. All buttons and microphone are completely accessible without restriction.

Sliding mechanism:
With the case attached to the Epic 4G there is NO restriction on the sliding mechanism. Now Seidio did a surprising design that many manufactures have not attempted. For the bottom portion of the case, the attachment clips are on each corner yet they are raised slightly from the rim of the case, this allows a very small opening for the case to move freely. Addition to that, the top cover has the attachment clips mounted on the top and bottom. Due to both these features – Scratching of the keyboard is long gone and smooth sliding stays.

Installation and Removal:
Install was very basic, the case clipped on smoothly and is simple enough to remove incase of a reset, memory card, and battery removal.

Appearance:
The case is thin compared to most out there. After installing the case there was not much added to the bulk of the phone. In my opinion this gave a the phone a better look with a case due to how thin it is.
The green I had to admit is beautiful – It is a true Saga but can be looked upon as a light forest green.

Durability Testing:
For this I used my second epic as it is my test phone for software and such. To meet the standards of daily use, I tested the phone while out at a Mall, Movie theater, Restaurant, and outside on trails. This allows different areas and different types surroundings for testing.
After Dropping the phone on several occasions and from different heights and on different material ( 1ft, 3ft, 5ft, 6ft) - The case never came off and surprisingly the case is almost un-touched. The phone was fully protected and no damage was done.

Options:
There have been questions if the case will fit with a Seidio Screen Protector, Phantom Skinz, Invisible shield, and 3rd party brands. I tested the case with phantom Skinz – Tight fit but still works great. Seidio Screen Protector – Fit perfect, Invisible Shield - The case fit like a glove. 3rd party skins provided the same results.

If there are any questions please feel free to post. Other colors and products coming soon.

Where would I be able to purloin such a fine product?

Would they perchance accept the barter of pelts and livestock or does the shopkeep only accept royal notes?

This is mainly what I was alluding to.

I took the plunge and bought this case based on this review, and so far I love it.

I have a problem with my new Seidio case.

As much as I love it, it seems like after a week of carrying it around, the keyboard side of the case is starting to become less snug, causing loud creaking noises, especially when on a phone call.

Its gotten bad enough that people I call are commenting on the sound. Is there anything I can do about it?

You can take it back and get your money back, and then go to the Sprint store and buy the OEM case. I've had one for about a month and I love it.

The Sprint one isn't Green!

I took some thick double-stick tape and put it on the inside between the two covers and it alleviated some of the creaking noise.

Still kind of annoying for such an expensive and very nice looking case.

What's wrong with black? I love the way mine looks. And, more importantly.....it works.

I bought a Dark Blue one of these on ebay for $32.
Seidio Innocase Case & Holster for Samsung Epic 4 Blue


Came with a Belt Clip/Holster that has a soft fabric on the inside. Put it on yesterday and so far I'm Very Impressed!

Wasn't a fan of cases,but after I dropped my phone last week and put a few chips in the side chrome I thought I'd try one out. Just couldn't bring myself to pay $50 from Seido directly. seidioonline.com

Nice but this one's better...

Platinum Series - Case for Galaxy S Epic Mobile Phones - Black - SEC20SB

I got the black one but there are other color options as well... I bought it the same day I bought the epic. I put this together with screen protector and It's very durable. Very sturdy... adjustable locking swivel. it will lock on your belt clip with a hook so it becomes impossible to fall out from your waist. I dropped it only one time (and it wasn't in my holster) I was holding my phone 5 feet from the floor standing up while some idiot bumped into me without paying attention. But that was it... everything was still intact. I rather walk into the store and buy it outright for $35 than pay $32 plus shipping (if any) from ebay.

That pretty much looks identical to the one I have, except for the color. Does it have the felt on the holster part?

I guess I'd rather pay $32 free shipping from flebay then $35+tax from Worst Buy. The last 5 times I've been there, they had 1 person working in the Phone section and at least 10 customers(including me) trying/failing to get help!

Yes it has the felt on the holster part. shipping is free with Best buy if us do it online. It is $35 if ya don't want to pay that much go to the store and look for an "open box" item it's generally cheaper than the brand new packaging. I doubt you'll find much of any since it's good quality product. Or I would suggest going to another store but what I was actually suggesting is you try it for 30 days to see how it suits you before deciding to keep it or not. Ebay on the other hand... realisticly many bought items are non refundable. so think of it as insurance because your paying more. I agree that best buy has the worst customer service in most areas. oh well but I'm not like most people as I'm kind of loud I demand the store manager attention if I have to.
