Default [MOD] Platinium Case from BB now with Red Carpet

So...I was gonna get a seidio innocase II however, I knew the platinum case at bb was identical and I was able to get it for 21.00

So when I got it I knew about how it fit, where it fit good but felt loose in the corners. I also saw the complaints about the felt not actually covering the whole back or sides.....so I did something about it.

I started looking for sticky felt, couldn't find any thin stuff. Then I thought of fabric which would work....however then I stumbled upon felt contact paper at Michaels....all they had was red. So I said screw it and bought it any way.

An hour later I came up with this....originally it coverd the top and bottom sides more but when i did that the case wouldn't close. so i had to trim it back some.

Now the case fits damn good....chances of dirt getting in there are a lot less, the sides and full back are protected and I think it looks pretty good for my non artsy ass. It was actually quite a pain in the ass with its original design, which wrapped the top and bottom areas, if I would have known that the case wouldnt have snapped shut doing those areas it would have saved me at least a half hour.

Of course there is the new active case now and i might check that out but looking at the reviews it looks a little big

Great idea... Think I'll be hitting Michael's today!!! The slightly loose fit is starting to drive me crazy... Everytime I pick-up my phone and the case wobbles I get images of scratches all over my baby!!!
