Seidio Iphone 4 Case Full Review

Yesterday, after a long wait, my Seidio Innocase 2 and  Seidio Spring Clip Holster Finally arrived.

Unboxing Video To Follow Since my Office PC is having issues, when I render the 720P video using Windows Movie Maker, it freezes my whole system. Sorry!

And here are some actual Photos of the unit attached to my Iphone 4 and my review and comments on the bottom of each photo. All photos are taken with a Canon IXUS 300 HS from Canon Philippines. Awesome Shots!

The Siedio innocase 2 has is made plastic but coated with a special type of material giving you  a special non-slip mat finish, that is what I love about this case.  I don’t like silicon cases, although they are non slip, they tend to easily wear out, stretched edges and they also capture a lot of dust/dirt/lint fro your pants. Seidio has the perfect texture for me, giving you a solid hard case feel that is smooth to the touch.

They made a big cut out on this side of the case to allow you to easily access the volume buttons and silent switch.

Frankly, I think it would have been alright to leave the rear design with just a flat surface and the Seidio letters at the buttom. I guess Seidio just wanted to distinguish itself with its new design.  Do take not that there is no APPLE LOGO window, this may be a plus for others and a minus for some.  As for me, I don’t really mind.

It has clear large cut outs for the headphone Jack which is important to fit any type of headphone connector AND has the second mic open. My Prev Capdase case and the hole just right that I couldn’t fit in some headphone jacks.

The Clip is the most important part of the Holster, this locks the Iphone 4 in place, you have to push the clip with a finger to release the iphone 4. The designed is unique and very secure that it prevents unwanted accidental release of the phone. I have tried several other CASE+Holster Combo’s in the past for my iphone 3GS. All of them either broke or caused the iphone to slip out accidentally a few times. Seidio so far has never failed me.

From the last two pics you will see that it has a rotating belt clip that allows you to have the holster on Landscape or portrait mode when clipped to your belt.

A good think to take not of is the belt clip, it is designed to lock your belt in place and not just hang on your belt with  the possibility of slipping off with a slight nudge.

The Holster is designed to have the Iphone 4 facing inwards. So you happend to lean an on lets say a corner of the table, your phone’s screen will be safe from harm.

The bottom of the Innocase II case can be removed so you can conveniently plug the iphone with several docking stations.

The only disadvantage of the case, which was also present on my prev Seidio case for the Iphone 3GS is that it causes your screen protector to Bubble.  Since my iphone already had a screen protector on, one that I love for its glorious mat finish, I decided not to use the Seidio screen protector that I bought separately.  I just slipped the case on. Since the case was designed with overlapping edges on top ( a C-Section), it basically hugs the phone and hols it from the top, this also squeezes the screen protector from both sides causing the protector to bubble.I have this small one that I am still trying to squeeze out but it seems persistent and staying there.  I think Seidio should make screen protectors that were made not to FIT the entire screen and should be placed with the case on to avoid issues like this.

Well that’s about it.

All in all I love this case and it’s a keeper!
