Default Sprint Protective cover vs Seido

ok I dont see much people talking about this sprint protective cover for the epic.. I saw one review from igear360 and the gave it a great review.. anyone else have any experience with this case.. its only 20$ and looks great.. How does it compare to the seido innocase which is 10$ more..

Both covers are great, the Seidio cover is thinner and fits the form factor better along with a better feel, The sprint cover is a little thicker but provides the same amount of protection.

here are a couple pics for comparison.

Sweet thanks for the pics.. I'm leaning more towards the seido.. but what about damaging the phone. I've read that the seido can cause scratching.. haven't heard anything good or bad bout he sprint. Not feeling the fact that its thicker though

from the looks of those two cases side by side, does the sprint case offer they keyboard sliding anti-scratching protection too? I see that the hindges on the sprint top case is in the same location as the seido case

i own the sprint case...

It makes the phone thinker and i have noticed that the phone does get a bit hotter with the case on. also the top piece broke when i went to remove it to add a screen protector.

IMO: it is a nice looking case but will brake.

Bought my wife the sprint case to start. The tabs where it attaches to the bottom are raised and push the screen away from the keyboard. This also causes some pretty severe drag when trying to extend or retract the keyboard. The Seido case just came in yesterday and it is a much better fit. The tabs are much thinner and in no way effect the slider mechanism. I do worry about the tabs snapping if she were to remove the case multiple times.

Sounds like some people have luck wthe sprint case and some have luck withe seidio case. From the posts I have seen its varying between the to. I have both and neither provided a issue.

I bought the Sprint case, and it is just too huge for my liking. I previously had a Seido case for my Sprint Hero and loved that (perfect fit, good quality, not thick at all) so I think I will sell this case and get the Seido instead.

I just bought the Sprint case today and like it. It doesn't add much bulk and i like the textured back.
