I bought this on Amazon for my Motorola Droid. I reviewed the product here and on the manufacturer website. The manufacturer has this product AND a silicone shell. The silicone shell was out of stock, so I chose to try this.

Pros: The shell is a hard case that would protect the phone should you drop the phone.

Cons: Unfortunately, I have many more. They are all personal preference, but justify my rating. First, the casing was slightly difficult to attach to the sliding screen. Just when I thought I had it on, it would pop off. Granted, it only took an additional 5-10 minutes to get it on right, but I was continually leery that it would pop off again. Second, with the hard shell on, it made it more difficult to use the to row of keys on the slide out keyboard. I don't have long fingernails and typically use the pads of my fingers or the tips to type/text. I found that when I would try and use the top row, my fingers would be displaced and I regularly hit two keys (the one I was aiming for and the one below it) or the key below the one I was aiming for. The extra bulk of the shell pushed my finger away from its target. Third, on my phone, when I attached the shell, the slide action on the phone became much more rigid and felt like it was jammed or scraping somewhere. I can't identify where, though, because I did not see any marks. And finally, after having the shell on for ~3 days, I noticed that in some areas, the black (insert color) coating on the shell was coming off to reveal the white plastic underneath. I keep the phone in my pocket, so the fact that it started to wear so early on was concerning.

I may try and get the silicone case in the next few weeks, but am not pleased with this purchase. I'll post an update if the silicone case if worth it so those who read this review can compare.

2.0 out of 5 stars Flimsy and poorly constructed, November 29, 2009

I was pretty excited to be getting a soft-touch rubberized hard case for my Droid, but was really disappointed by what arrived in the mail two weeks ago. First off, like others have mentioned, the paint job on this case was either not completely or done by someone who clearly didn't care enough to finish the job. There are numerous white spots of bare plastic showing on all the edges of the case I received, and it makes the phone look tacky and like it's been worn down.

The case does add a fair bit of bulk to the phone, and there's a rather unsightly hip holster opening on the back of the case. This would be fine would I be one of those guys who wears his phone on his hip (I'm not). So, this square opening on the back just looks funny and adds to the unfinished and unprofessional essence of this case.

After about a week of use I noticed that the upper part of the case that goes around the edges of the screen would pop off very easily. This doesn't bode well as if this starts to happen in a week, what's going to go wrong in a month? Two months? A year?

But here's the bottom line: over the Thanksgiving break while traveling to visit with family, I found myself taking the Droid out of the case to show it off to my loved ones (hey, it's a cool gadget, I wanna flaunt it!). I did this because I couldn't stand how ugly this case is, and how poorly is showcases the phone. I want a case that protects my phone, but also one that looks like it was made by someone who cares and can at least finish spraying on that soft-touch finish. Not recommended, needless to say.

4.0 out of 5 stars Keeps popping off, November 24, 2009

Bought this at the Verizon store. It was easy enough to put on the phone and seems to protect it pretty well unless something hits the screen directly. After only a few hours the case started popping off on the top corner by the power button on the bottom half which goes around the keyboard. Haven't had any problems with the top half which goes around the screen yet. The green LED to show messages is NOT covered up by this case and it still slides open for the keyboard but does take a little space from the top row of keys since the cover sticks out a little. If it keeps popping off and gets annoying I'll probably stop using it.
