I'm still using the Active X and love it. Personally, I haven't had any problems with it at all; definitely the best case I've had. Just ordered one for my gf's incredible as well.

Bought the Burgundy one today, supposed to get here Wednesday. I can't wait!

It came today and I love it. it feels very sturdy but not super bulky. only bad thing is that it seems to attract dust a lot, but that will probably get better once I use it more.

even in the past few hours of use it has gotten better and it feels a little better. like maybe I rubbed off some coat of something on it, idk.

Ive seen some called Seidio Active X and Seidio Active X Hybrid. Are there any difference between the two?

I cant seem to find any physical difference.

mine's just the Active X, never saw the hybrid

here's where to look though http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4590.htm

 

[SupraLance]

The Active X case is classified as a hybrid case, as in hybrid between a hard case and soft case. Maybe some seller is just adding that classification to the name?

Looked so much better than my crappy rubber case, so i decided to buy it. hope it gets shipped to me soon!

I can't rermember how long it took for me to get mine but I recieved the active-x case for my girl's INC about 3 days after I ordered it (standard shipping) which is pretty damn good if you ask me. Odd's are you're gonna love it...I know I do.

Has anyone found a car or desk dock to work with this case? That would be awesome.

I wonder if this one would work (from other thread)

Cant see if the sides of the dock can spread or not.

I'm using a modified Garmin Nuvi 200 mount with the Active X case. Search Ebay for BKT200 and pair that bracket with a suction cup, vent mount, sticky mount, etc. I had to heat the bracket and bend (reshape) the legs in a little to get it to work right, but the finger indentions on the Active X case allow it to hold firmly and snap in and out easily.

This project is only for those comfortable "hacking hardware". I may end up reshaping a few more brackets to resell if there is much interest.

The mount from amazon looks like it might work but I'm not sure how stable it is with the long adjustable arm.

Creative. Any chance you could post a picture of your setup?

and could you give a little more info on heating up the bracket?

How hard is it to take the phone in and out of the case? Do you think it will weaken the case quickly if you repeatedly insert and remove the phone?

I prefer to have the phone naked most of the time, but there are occasions where I would like to give it some extra protection.

Thanks in advance.

It isn't hard at all to remove the case, but I think eventually it would affect the fitment as the silicone would probably stretch over time. How long would it take for this to happen? Who knows...

I enjoy having the case off every once and a while when I'm playing around at home flashing roms and such, but when I leave the house, the case is always on. Plus it doesn't add much bulk, looks great and has a good feel factor. Not much else you can ask for IMHO.

Just got this case today based on this review and I gotta say I love it. Excellent fit and texture.
