Otterbox Commuter Case vs. Seido Innocase

[Cunha]

Heres to hoping! Now I have to decide between the seidio and the otterbox = / Do any car docks work with the otterbox?

[arrjaytea]

As much as I love the Seidio cases (and I do), I'm going to hold tight on ordering one until the Otterbox is out.

Otterbox cases, even the Commuter line, are often too bulky for my tastes, but I also work in an environment where a little extra protection could go a long way, so I'm 50-50.

If the Otterbox case will fit in the stock car dock, protection factor will probably lure me from Seidio.

I cant imagine this case fitting in a stock car dock =/ With the covered ports you will probably need to take it off to use it on any dock.

For me I am trying to decide between the otterbox which seems like a better case overall (and never have a car dock) or the seidio with the seidio D1 dock which I've heard works for the D2.

[arrjaytea]

The dock does have multiple insets (i.e. it's set up to handle a case, and the only buttons are on top, so that's a plus), but on the other side by the sheer nature of the Otterbox' girth, I'm still willing to bet you're right, and its case will be a touch too much.

Think of the Otterbox case as a Cadillac or a Lincoln, and the Seidio case as a Buick or a Mercury. The quality difference is significant, as well as the price. But, you get what you pay for. My choice would be the Otterbox.

It sure is murder waiting for this thing to be released. Then I have to wait for it to be at amazon because I have a gift card there.

Sorry, but the car comparison made me lol. All the brands you listed to me make boring, stuffy cars that are about as exciting as watching rocks race each other. Could you use a better example? XD

Seriously, I can't tell you the diff between a buick and a lincoln outside of maybe msrp. Their body styles and interiors are similar to my eyes.

That was kind of the point.

A better car based example would have been Lexus v. Toyota or Acura v. Honda.

They are, in fact, the same body style, and have similar interiors, but the perks on each are better.

It was a very apt example. Something isn't a bad example just because you don't get it.

Well I'm not sure how you can make cases for android phones that are anything *other* than boring and stuffy. Their function is protection, pure and simple. The phone itself is where the excitement lies.

Um, if I didn't get the analogy... it'd be a bad example. Lol Should I compare something to characters in a book I read or something you may not get? Sorry I don't really keep up on American cars, I apologize. Its really not as obvious to me as it to you.

That said, whatever, I'm sure both work great. As long as one of the two has less bulk, but good materials, I'm sold.
