Seido Surface vs Incipio Feather

[illmatic416]

I currently have the Feather and love how it keeps the phone's slim profile while staying Rigid. From what I've read these cases seem to be similar, with the Feather not covering the top and the bottom, and the Surface being a two piece that snaps together. Does anyone own both of these cases and/or knows if the Surface is either thicker or the same thickness of the Feather?

I've tried the Ringke(best silicone case I've seen) and the ruggedized Moto battery cover and they helped me remember why I don't like soft cases...mainly because of the lip moving around when you take it out of your pocket every one in awhile. I also have a TPU case and that is probably the best soft case.

I have both cases. I went with the Seido case for day to day use.

Yes the Seido case adds some bulk over the Incipio, but I thought the trade off was worth it.

Both have the rubberized feel for extra grip, but without the super extra grip of the silicone or full rubber cases. The Seido slide on/off design means not have to "snap" or "pry" the case off when I need to get to the SD Card or Battery. The Incipio feather created "edges" which I just didn't like the feel of at the top and bottom of the phone.

I agree ^ I also have both, and even though the surface does add a little bit more bulk/ thickness, it does provide more coverage therefore protection. And just an fyi, the surface doesn't fit any dock I've tried it in even with the case insert removed... Which does suck, but its very easy to take off once you get used to it.

Seidio all the way man. I dropped my phone once and it got scratched on the sides where the Incipio wasn't protecting. what's the point of even having a case if it barely protects it?

A lot of people, myself included, don't look for a case to protect the phone against impact, but simply to protect it from the day to day wear and tear of pulling it in and out of pockets or getting scratched by keys or some loose change.

Do any of you use the Surface with the holster? Right now, I am leaning towards that instead of the Otterbox, but I'd like to know that the holster holds the phone securely before I spend the $50.00.

Thanks in advance.

My surface fits the lapdock with fit plate removed just fine.

considering the only part of the phone that the feather doesn't cover is the flimsy cheap plastic battery cover, i don't see the problem. i got the feather to protect the metal sides, which it does.

seidio makes great cases but it's just too bulky for my liking.

Thanks guys for the reviews and comparisons. I was on the verge of picking up the Seidio Surface, but after the news of the leaked HTC Holiday specs, I think I am going to curb my spending on any future Atrix accessories.

IMHO it also doesn't protect the border of the front of the screen on the top and bottom. That is where I got it scratched...

Hey buddy, just answering your question, I own both Surface and Active from Siedo and both of them are just amazing. For daily use Active is the option and fix perfect in the hd dock once you remove the main base cover of it and for the Surface, very slim and fancy. Both holsters hold the device extremelly well!

Hope it help, greetings!
