Default Platinum Series Case from Best Buy

Just wanted to give you guys and gals a heads up about a new case. It's made by Seidio and looks and feels great on the phone. Adds a bit of bulk to the phone but comes with the holster. I'll try and get some pics up later tonight after the little one goes to bed. It goes for $34. 99 retail. My Best Buy got it in today so they should start being available soon.

Edit... Couple of pictures... Sorry the quality sucks.

My location just received them also today. It does not interfere with the noise canceling mic. The platinum series cases are exactly the same as the surface series cases by seido (they make them for best buy). Retail is $34.99 for the case and clip.

Yes it is. I'm not sure why they charge so much online. $34.99 in my Best Buy in Illinois.

Someone please tell me how to get this case off of the phone! ! I'm thinking the instructions that come with the case are not correct...

Actually looks like A and B should be reversed in the instructions. Finally got the case off.

The best buy platinum series cases are garbage in my opinion. They're the lowest quality case on the market. They're thick and look cheap. They remind me of the chinese cases they used to mass-produce for the clunkers in the 90s. This is one of Best Buy's most profitable skus in the store, so they hock the hell out of them.

Seriously though, this line is about the worst on the market. They beat the hell out of the back of your phone, and they're so incredibly thick, and have absolutely zero aesthetic charm. There are soooo many better cases and more worthey companies you can support, and get better protection from.

I tend to use BodyGlove Mirage case with seemingly sturdy Platinum holster. Haven't seen either yet for I-777?????
