Seidio Convert Combo opinions?

---

Does anyone have any opinions on the Seidio/rebranded BB Convert Combo case? I'm thinking about replacing my OB Defender with it.

Thanks!

Not Satisfied

Had one for my Evo 4g and after six months the little plastic spider broke after a 30" fall. Company wouldn't warranty anything I have 4 evo's (family plan) 7 seidio cases 2 replacements and from my experience JUNK! Will never own another. I have had decent luck with my otterbox commuter and defender.

You're not supposed to drop them from 30"... you're not supposed to drop your phone at all. If you do, which would be your own fault... that means be more careful... You didn't mention if your phone took damage. Cases are there to prevent / reduce damage. Not be indestructible.

I've had an Evo, Epic and Evo 3D... had a Seidio Active on all 3. They kept the phone mint. Surface on others. When I sold them, they were all sold in mint condition... Nothing ever broke on them... I didn't drop them... 1 year warranty on defects... not you breaking them... Kind of like a car... If you buy it... it has a warranty... if you decide to smash it into the wall... NO WARRANTY COVERAGE...

All Seidio products are great. They've been great for me. I haven't tried their batteries, but the Surface and Active cases have been 10/10! They have done everything I wanted and expected them to do. I never expected them to be bulletproof and they exceed my expectations in quality.

The convert... it's basically a surface + active case combined.

I didn't drop my phone and the Seidio Rugged fell apart. My wife's fell apart also with no drops. The cases I received were garbage. I'm using an Otterbox Defender on my 3D and I like it a lot more than I thought I would. I loved my Ballistic and may try the Kraken II when it is released.

Had it on my og evo and phone was in 10/10 cond when i sold it,so i went to bb and got one for the 3d LOVE IT and has the only clip that fits on a 1 3/4 duty belt.

Your perfect world

As I stated earlier JUNK. You obviously have a right to your opinion, but if I pay $75 for an "Rugged" protection and the case was dropped ONE time and it breaks...it IS JUNK. Let me know when I can make it over to your perfect world maybe I can drop by your Unicorn ranch and possibly open a Rainbow store.

The case did its job. It broke so your phone didn't. And did you mean 30 inches (") as in 2 1/2 feet?

To each, his own I suppose. Get the case you like, not the case people want you to like.

..nice upgrade from hero

Otter box looked way better then the convert combo . I went that way more protection .

I am sorry

Ladies and gentlemen,

First I need to apologize to chrishol for my curt comments (aka being a smartass). My anger
should be directed at Seidio. When three of the seven cases became defective I called customer support and was denied because they were a week or two past the six month warranty (I know got to be a line somewhere). Fast forward three months and my "rugged case" breaks after just one drop from a relatively short distance. Now I have my 3vo and they have changed their warranty policy to one year (really, great). I have owned both Seidio and Otterbox dropped the Otter from 15 feet from the top of a large truck, no problems and countless drops from 30" or less (blackberry I guess I didnt like the phone) and no problems. I did call Otterbox about a replacement of the rubber portion and received it in three days.

Sorry for the length but I wanted to try and explain me being a jerk whuch was not necessary, again I am sorry chrishol.

I have the rebranded Pt Convert. I dropped my phone from waist high in a parking lot during Warped Tour. The case held it's own and protected my E3D as it was supposed to. IMO it is worth the $50 I paid for it.
