Hello all.
I received my Seidio Rubberized Hard Case on Monday and have been pretty happy with it thus far. It is this model in black: http://www.seidioonline.com/index.a...ROD&ProdID=1003
The case came in a standard, small, light box and after opening it up I was presented with a very simple looking set of instructions - 3 steps. It was straight forward and easy to put on, taking about 7 seconds or so to put on for the first time. It just snaps right into place with no hassles. It has a nice feeling of security in that it will not come apart randomly, and probably not after a decent drop, either. The rubberized hard plastic feels buttery smooth to the touch, with just the right amount of grip to still feel secure in your hand.
The only area that Seidio could have done better is with the openings around buttoms - they are nice and functional, yes, but the edges around the openings are a bit rough and I feel this could have been something that should have been addressed pre-production. It is not a factory defect, just the way it was designed.
Overall I would rate the case a 9/10, as it is a joy to use, looks pretty nice, and I believe it will protect my phone for a good long while.

06-08-08 11:07 PM - I love this case as well as far as how it looks and feels, HOWEVER, I purchased the same version for my Boss's Pearl, one for my Treo 755p, and now one for the boss's curve (he just switched and Im getting a curve this week)
. Anyways, the bad thing about this case is if any grit or anything gets in between the case and the phone, can you say scratch city? My treo was mint when I put it in and a week later I took it off only to find the silver area around the screen was all scratched up. Same with the pearl. Got the boss another one though, because he will do worse to the curve then it not having one at all. Any ways, has anyone else experienced this? I sent Seidio a letter regarding this and told them that maybe felt around the screen area would help, maybe act as a seal? Anyways, just thought I'd let ya'll know my experience.06-09-08 12:08 AM - I have mine on for 2-3 weeks now and haven't noticed any marring or scratching, although when I took it apart the other day to show a friend how easy it is to take off and put on I did notice some lint behind the berry. I'll have to keep an eye out for this issue or maybe just put the Seidio Rubberized battery door on.I love this case as well as far as how it looks and feels, HOWEVER, I purchased the same version for my Boss's Pearl, one for my Treo 755p, and now one for the boss's curve (he just switched and Im getting a curve this week).
