DONATE TO ME
Default {RANT}Seidio - Vibrant is the read-headed step child - what gives?

So, Seidio shows products for all US Galaxy S variants, EXCEPT for the Vibrant. What the heck gives?

It just stupid that the Vibrant was the first to hit the market but yet a major manufacturer like Seidio doesn't have squat for them, but does for other carrier's variants.

I emailed them and got a generic canned response about how they have no ETA for any products for the Vibrant.

Guess they won't be getting any business from me.

Haha. Nice. I'm pissed about the lack of Seidio. I've always been big fans of their cases. I emailed them too and got the same crap. Chatted live too and they said they won't be releasing anything for the Vibrant. I'm assuming from other discussions here that the fascinate case they are planning to make wouldn't work even with putting some cut outs on the back for the camera location huh?

Seidio seems so overpriced, I don't get the love for them. I work next door to them and they wouldn't even let me do pickup.

I agree I think their stuff is overpriced. I had an innocase on my blackberry 9700 and that thing was cheaply made for what they charge. No thanks.

That looks good. Do you know if they usually offer car docks and desk docks with their cases? That's really what I'm after and what Seidio did well. I have the body give case now and it's great but its compatibility with docks is nonexistent.

Seidio has their Fascinate cases posted. Anyone have access to one to try to see how it fits with the Vibrant? I know the cut outs are different but those could be easily modded. They also have the snap holster that I'm assuming would probably work based on the other posts about holsters.
