Default PowerSkin experience with DX2?

Hello! Has anyone gotten the Droid X/ X2 PowerSkin case for their X2? I was curious how well it worked.

Thanks in advance!

I haven't tried the power skin, but I know the Seidio Active case for the DX works perfectly. It has two layers, one rubber, and then a hard shell that goes around it. But it's pretty skinny, they also have a skinnier one layer hard shell that works for it too. They both keep the shape of the phone and both protect it really well! They are also rather cheap on the price! Around $30!

Thanks - I have used those and I like them. But this is a type of case with a built in battery. Here's from their web site:

They're pricey and I was curious to get anyone's input on how good they are before I took the plunge on one myself.

Here is great thread for you DX2 user wonder to get a powerskin. I have one and have no complaints. It works just like what I suppose to do. Once in a while my phone gets hot in a charge/discharge. This is because the phone is charging and the skin is discharging and when the skin discharges it produces heat. So just don't use it heavily or it will bring the phone to over heating. I have provided a great link from the Evo forums to help DX2 owners if you want to get a PowerSkin. If your are interested just click the link below to here about other Evo users opinions.

Extended Battery Vs PowerSkin battery Case
Thanks for posting that. After reading all that hate and then reading similar hate on Amazon, I definitely will not be picking this up. Such a shame as it seems like a really good idea.
