Wink Seidio Innocase + More Epic 4G accessories!

So I've been stalking phone case sites looking for accessories that will be able to keep our precious Epic's safe! Seidio just sent me a email earlier today and have been adding things to the EPIC 4G section!

Seidio Epic 4g Accessories


The Innocase Surface II for Epic 4G is 29.99 on preorder shipping on the 26th!

From what I see, the Innocase will be more or less a snap case on the Epic because of the sliding keyboard.

I was pretty happy with the Innocase I purchased for my nexus and considering the "Black plastic snap case" that is launching with the Epic from Sprint is also $29.99, the Seidio one is probably better quality.

Nice, seido always makes quality cases... Let's see how the one from sprint compares. Also i hope seido makes an extended battery for the epic, those are great.

Since the entire back is replaceable, can't we just buy replacement backs for it?

I thout the vibrant ships with two backs already.

Anyway, my pre was soft touch and I never got scratches on the back. I really don't think s case is necessary. We'll see whn the phone comes out. Sprint does 25% off accessories btw.

I don't take chances with phones and rather have some form of protection on them at all times.

I was deciding between a full body skin, or a Seidio Innocase and eventually decided to get a skin for the screen, and the Seidio innocase for the Epic.


I know Sprint sells the accessories for cheaper, but the cases they have for the Epic are cheap looking. BodyGlove is bulky and not formed well. And the other case they have is a shiny clear plastic case with makes your phone look like a cheap metro phone!

The Seidio Innocase's are a really nice matte finish and are very thin. I'll post some pictures of the product once it comes in!

Any type of case will eventually gather dust under it from usage/putting it in your pocket.

Or do you mean on the SURFACE of the case? The Innocase is a matte finish plastic case. I never had dust on the outside of the case but it would gather on the inside corners of the case. This is easily fixed by taking the case off every once in awhile and dusting it.

I would go pantless before my phone went caseless

Not really

Anyways, a word of advice on seidio cases: hopefully they have learned their lesson, but the Innocases that initially went out for the Evo actually damaged the phone and left permanent marks on the corners. Seidio corrected this somewhat quickly, but if you think your case doesn't fit right, DON'T USE IT. Wait to see what happens to other people first >.>
