Default Thin Hard Case

Wondering if anyone has a good hard case suggestion... The bezels on the device seem a little weak, and I would like to protect it. I do enjoy the rubbery grip the back has though.

Any cases exist that might be hard and cover the bezels, but provide a good hold?

I ordered a Trident case, I will share my results if its ever going to arrive >.<
Well when you really break it down, the steps to modifying a Turbocharged Diesel engine and overclocking a modern computer processor are VERY comparable.

I use the hard shell frame from B&N. It fits really nice, keeps the look and feel of the device. adds a bit of thickness, but you know it'll survive a drop or two! I also have a screen protector on so its like the whole thing is covered! My wife has a booklet style cover and although it keeps the screen guarded it doesn't help much when dropped, it's fallen out of it's case many times when dropped on the carpet!

Do you happen to have a link for that case? I did a quick search, but couldn't seem to find it.

I did end up finding it. Thanks

I am tempted on the otter box too... They do make great gadget covers.

I've got the otterbox for my droid x2 but ordered the strident case for my tablet. I'll let you know when it shows up. I'm pretty excited for it though

Topic rez.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a case somewhere in the realm of the Trident Aegis or the Otterbox Commuter, since both seem to be discontinued, and increasingly scarce? Or will I be doing myself a favor in the long run by going ahead and ponying up $50+ for one of the last few specimens floating around on eBay?
