Reviewish: Technocel Protective Cover (bought from sprint)

---

I bought this here case from the Sprint store today.

Price: 19.95
Colors available: black blue and red (may vary)
Brand: TECHNOCEL

-Does it make it stiffer to slide?
-Yes, noticeably stiffer.

-Did you have to pry the upper and lower halfs apart to make case snap in?
-No, but it was so tight that it imediately started rubbing part of the case off (see pictures). I removed the lower part and sanded down the corner clip that fits between the screen and body to make it rub less.

-What texture is it?
-Soft touch? haha I dunno similar to the shift's exterior, maybe a little slicker.

-Are the screen and camera now recessed so they don't make contact with surfaces when laid flat on them?
-yes both are slightly recessed within the case.

any other questions just ask.

Wow that thing really scrapes. Did it rub off that red in the last picture already, just from what I'd assume is only a few slides? My case, the one with the holster that was reviewed here also, makes it tight, but I haven't noticed it come even close to scraping like that. I know that from having other sliders that the rubbing like that is common, but not that soon. At least we can say that the slider is solid and not a wibbly wobbly piece of crap, lol.

Wow - I'd be pissed if it did that to my phone and bring the case back. I do think that in the first picture it sort of resembles the HTC Merge (unreleased phone for Verizon)

I opened and closed it a couple times and the scraping was obvious so I sanded down the corners so it fits better now. I cleaned the marks off the phone and since sanding they have not come back.

A little red fingernail polish will fix that right up.

You are very wise my friend. I may have to speak to my fiance about that later.

I also just noticed that the top case is leaving a little red on the side, raisedup area of the keyboard. I guess a little more shaving is in order...

How does the back look?

looks like the sedio, but with one large open area for the camera/speaker/flash instead of each having it's own opening.

The attached is of course the seidio reviewed in the other thread.

FYI corporate Sprint stores do not carry this case only third party retailers would sell this incase someone was interested...

Good info, thanks for adding it. I don't know the difference, because we don't have a corporate store here. But the case was in sprint branded packaging. I just looked on the back and it said it was made by those people.
