Default Incipio Silicrylic Case

Well I think Incipio now has the perfect case. Initially what drew most people away from the Incipio was the lack of a cutout for the HDMI port. I decided that I liked the design and amount of protection of the Silicrylic and that the covered HDMI port didn't bother me so I decided to order one off of ebay.

It just came in today and when I opened it up, it had the cutout for the HDMI port. So apparently Incipio must have recently redesigned the case and I must have gotten one of the newer ones.

I put the case on the phone and it is perfect IMO. I love the fit and there is nothing about it that I would change. I went with the Gray/White one. I can try and get some pics up at some point.

Yep. I went with the black/black. I got it yesterday. I love it, except my HDMI is blocked. Maybe I got an older version.

Ah, that kinda sucks. Even with the HDMI port blocked the case is awesome. I guess I must have got a very recent release. Where did you order yours from?

I actually ordered it from a store on ebay and something got screwed up with the shipping so they refunded the money and said they would send me one for free when they got them back in from their vendor. So I actually didn't expect to get one since they cancelled the transaction and refunded my money so I ordered another one from someone else.

Then when I got home from work today it was sitting in our mailbox from the first company. So I have another one coming in pretty soon (still the gray/white) that I will probably sell. I wonder if the other one that is supposed to come in will have the port cut out or not.

I got mine from Amazon. They had them cheaper than I could find anywhere else.

Thanks a lot for this post. I am going to order another one. I love my Trident Cyclops but it is a little bulky for my needs. I had the silicrylic case when it was first released and sent it right back. Now that they revised it with an hdmi cutout this case has a lot more potential.

No problem. Like I said, I think this now is the perfect case (unless you truly need something where you can throw it off a building and survive).

Here is a picture just to show you guys I am not crazy or making it up (sorry for the crappy pic, I just took it real quick):

It looks like a small cutout, can you actually open it up enough to fit the cable in? Also where did you buy it from? I am looking to order one soon.

Yes the door opens and it looks like there is plenty of room to get a cable in there since the connector doesn't look any bigger than the usb connection but I don't have a cable to try.

Here is a pic with the door open:


I got it from these guys on ebay:

I am not sure if they got any more in to put on their ebay store yet, but they obviously sent me mine. I would definitely recommend them because they made sure to make it right for me even though it was a shipping screw up. The part number on the package is SA-149. I am not sure if they would have created a new number for the ones with the cutout or not though.
