Seidio Epic 4g Rugged Case Question
 

Would you be willing to purchase the Epic 4G rugged combo if it does not allow keyboard accessibility?

No, not at all.

I would have just bought the Evo if I didn't need the keyboard!

Okay, I don't think you guys realize exactly what they are talking about.

The Seidio Rugged Case is essentially two cases in one.
It comes with a standard Seidio Surface Case that fits over the phone and can be used any time. As you probably know the keyboard is fully accessible with just this.

However the rugged also comes with another two pieces. It has a silicone outer cover that goes around the surface case and then a hard plastic "exoskeleton" to hold that in place. It also comes with a locking holster for all of it

You probably wouldn't use the outer case all the time but when you needed extra protection you could put it on.
My situation is as follows: I use my Epic for geocaching and for tracking when I'm hiking. I really don't want to put my phone in my pants pocket because I sweat a lot and wouldn't want it to get wet. I also would like for the phone to have better protection when I'm in the woods so if I happen to drop it on a rock it'll have a better chance of surviving. Since I'm probably not going to be doing a lot of emailing and texting in those situations I really don't need the physical keyboard. I can still check my phone and reply if necessary using the on screen one.

The great thing about the seidio rugged case is that whenever I get back to civilization I can take off the outer case and just use the surface case on my phone. Quick and easy removal. I can also slide out the existing keyboard for email and text.

I just think that some of you are looking at this as an only option when it's really giving you better protection when you need it. It's really two cases in one.

Check it out for the Droid X

I sure hope they get some more folks willing to buy it or I'm screwed...

Why would you be screwed? Are you the CEO of Seidio?

Well I know it'll just be a matter of time before I end up breaking my phone while out hiking.

I agree with him, tho. A regular or "Active X" case for normal daily used, and I'd get the rugged for when I'm going to be out and about hiking or mountain biking.

The rugged case could be taken off and replaced with your normal day to day case afterwards.

I'd buy it for sure.

i would buy it too!!

The cool thing about the Seidio rugged case is that you don't have to replace it with your regular case. The regular sedio innocase surface is underneath it. You just have to take off the rugged outer skin and exoskeleton.

I would buy one, not even for hiking, but just becuase I never open the the hard keyboard, Swype is just to awesome!!!!!!!!
