Slip cases for the droid

[LouD]

Anyone found a droid case that also holds glasses? Best I came up with is thisbut I have no idea how well it will work with a droid plus the oversized battery pack.

Wow. That's a tall order you're looking for! The Droid is not exactly a "slim jim" compared to many regular cellphones. I'd imagine a case to facilitate this would be approaching a purse size! Especially with an extended battery..

Those are nice cases you linked - would have been nice back in my "pre-smartphone" days.. mike

In answer to my own question posted earlier, I ordered one of these bad boys and it arrived yesterday. Plenty of room for the Droid + glasses, and it should even accommodate the oversized battery pack. The advertised zipper compartment in the back is a little hard to get at and pretty useless for its stated purpose, money and credit cards. However, it is just the ticket for a spare USB cable and earbuds, maybe even a mini-charger.

I'll post my own pictures when I get the Seido battery pack.

The Droid fits loosely in the front compartment. With the velcro closed, however, you can hold it upside down and shake it, and the Droid stay put.


If you've never used 'em before, might also want to check out the computer glasses from the same vendor. Basically they set the focus distance of the specs at arm's length rather than reading glass length, so you don't have to hunch over your laptop. I have a custom-made progressive set for reading and PC use, and they're real useful.

Not exactly what I'd call a slip case, but whatever works for you...

Case Logic I got at Target fits perfectly, but the charging port is not accessible, good enough for me as my primary use of the case is protection while in my pocket. They have 2 slim sizes that look alike however one is slimmer than the other. Get the larger one.

Price: $19.99
Item: CLP403SPH

No problems with display turning on, I think people are just accidentally hitting the power button to activate the screen, I tried moving the phone around the magnet but it didn't turn on.

Awefully similar to mine that i got from PDair
PDair Leather Case for Motorola Milestone A855 - Horizontal Pouch Type (Black) by PDair - PDair.com


main difference is probably leather on mine is a bit softer, charging port is accessible, and different locking system, yours is hidden strong magnet?

Cheers

I had two questions, about the PDair, perhaps you could answer:

1. How "tight" is the case on the phone - easy or hard to get out?
2. How protective is the case on the side of the phone?

I had tried out a Cellet case, early on, and it was a similar affair to the PDair, kind of a wrap around leather piece, with stretch fabric sides. It was really made for the iPhone, which is thinner and shorter than the Droid, so ulitmately I threw it on the shelf, and got something else. Just too hard to get out. It looks like they've come out with a newer variant of the case, and specifically list the Droid, see:



Cellet® Products :: Chargers, Cases, Proguards, Charms, Skins

But at least in their picture, it looks kind of short, still, not covering fully at the top. On my earlier variant, the protection/coverage on the sides wasn't all that great. Front and back, bottom, all were fine. Looking at the PDair, it kind of looks like a similar arrangement:

but it looks like it fits the phone a bit better. The Cellet leather wasn't all that bad, but from the reviews I've seen, the PDair sounds like it uses better materials, and of course it's more $s. But for any vertical pouch, a key question is how long it takes to get it out (when the phone's ringing, you want to answer it, and you lose a second or two over say a holster, for it being in a pocket). Hence the question on how hard the PDair is to get out of the case. You really have to have the case, and used it enough that it's worn in, to answer that question.

case is on the small side and if you have a hard case on your phone you will not be able to get it in and out. My friend just got this and i have a deck of playing cards and some credit cards stuffed in it trying to stretch it out a bit. It is also not the greatest of quality.

Has anyone found a slip case that works well with the Seidio Innocase?

Just to let everyone know, I was able to get a nexus one oem neoprene sleeve and it fits perfectly!

With or without a case?

The stock G1 leather sleeve works great too. I had a Nexus Neoprene one that I lost and the second one I ordered was way way too small. I like the G1 better as its easier to get in and out. The neoprene protected it better I think though.

Sorry, it fits in the nexus one pouch without a case.
