Incipio Silicrylic Incredible 2 Case??

HypostaticOnion · Feb 23, 2012

I found this on Amazon, and was wondering what you guys think about its quality. I currently have an Otterbox Defender, and I'm kinda wanting to downsize. Anyone have any experience with Incipio cases??

I have that exact case, and I love it, even comes with a new screen protector that's very nice... I had an otterbox, but I hated how bulky it made my phone... this isn't nearly as bulky and gives the phone a good deal of protection as well... I currently alternate between this and an Incipio Feather case depending on what I'm doing and how much protection the phone needs.

Awesome. I'm also wanting to keep my otterbox but I know the screen protector gets in the way of the one in the otterbox. (experience with zagg invisibleSHIELD). Could I just take the screen out of the otterbox to use the one that comes with the incipio and pop the OB on whenever I needed it??

Yes you can i removed the screen shield out of mine an use a aftermarket one. My wife has the incipico case like that on her phone seems very good if you want to down size.

I think I'm sold.... Now I'm trying to decide if I want the black/black one or the white/gray one......

Also, has anyone bought that one from that link?? If so does that pack come with the screen protector?? If not which ones do you use??

Hey - question for people who have this case.

Is the inner layer pure silicone? Could you cut the back out to accomodate the extended battery? I have had a really hard time cutting up TPU, but I would gladly try to cut silicone. That seems much better.

If anyone has one of these and wants to sell, that would be AWESOME. I would love to see if I could just cut the back out for the extended battery and use this case like a bumper.

So - anyone who owns this case, would that work or am i crazy?

p.s. i am actually crazy so if you could speak just to the idea rather than to me and my own crazy, that would be super.

The inner silicone ripped for me. I didn't do anything weird to it, and only had it for about 1.5 months. I don't really recommend it.

Could it have been a lemon maybe?? I mean it looks good. I know someone has one for their iPhone and it seems pretty solid.

I was thinking either this one or the commuter.

I like the look of the case (I have the white/grey one), but the silicon is super flimsey and cheap. I believe it would rip. I use that case very infrequently, and didn't like the screen cover.

HypostaticOnion · Feb 24, 2012

Hmmmmmmm.... What are some other recommended cases?? I looked and I'm not sold on the otterbox commuter. I want a similar case, but with durability and reliability.

My personal preference has lied with the Seidio Surface case for a long time. Thin, Sleek, and Tough. Saved my Eris and DInc2 from many many falls and borderline throws.

I don't like anything with silicon. Always too floppy. Bulky cases are too bulky. TPU never fits like I want it to.

Awesome. Thanks bud.

What do you think about the active vs the surface??

Looks like the active has silicon, so I have immediate reservations about it because of just that. But I have never actually touched one, so I don't know if it is the usual floppy stuff; which by the way many say attracts lint like a magnet, but my experience hasn't been quite that bad.
I think it looks like a variation of the silicrilic one mentioned earlier. So I won't be spending my money on it.
If you do end up with one of these, I hope you let us know what you think of it.

I will. I'm still looking.

I mean I have a defender case and its silicone rubber on the outside.

What do you think of the silicon part of the case? Does the texture or "floppy-ness" bother you?

Not really but its stretched over a plastic skeleton, so idk if its a fair comparison. But I do like it.

I had this case break on me too after about 6 months of use..the top corner of the hard plastic broke off by the power button (It broke wile i was pushing the power button just like I normally would). I carried the phone in my jeans pocket and it was sometimes difficult to pull out. The silicone eventually seemed to get stretched out on the bottom from pulling it out, and it attracted lint like crazy. I would recommend this case if you were going to carry it in your pocket a few times, or if you would put it in a leather holster or something of that nature.

Mine actually just broke this past weekend. The plasic shell by the volume rocker cracked. Not sure how either. Ive used silicrylic cases on my past two blackberries and loved them but i dont like it the same on my dinc2. Incipio is really good about replacing their failed cases tho. If you care to ship your broken case back to them, they should have no problem replacing it for u.

Tyler I wrote a review of the Surface which you can find here with pictures: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1107381

I loved it while I used but ultimately went without a case after a few months. I just started to prefer the feel of the phone without the case.

What are your guys thoughts on the Incipio Feather case?
