Android Case - phone cases, verizon


I bought this case thinking that it couldn't possibly be cheaply made, it's by Body Glove. So it has to be great, right? Wrong! I ordered the case the same day I bought my phone. It arrived super fast but within a week after I put it on, a clip snapped off when I only slid my phone open to text. REALLY?! I thought it would be okay since it was one clip. Apparently that one clip was the important one. That same day the whole front part of the case came off. Then I noticed the corners were separating. Geez! I clip my phone to my jeans, set it on the counter at home, or set it on the shaded console in my car. I have never dropped it. Boooooo to Body Glove for representin' that way. Body Glove Glove Snap-On Case for Motorola DROID 2 (Black)

Had I not waited to post feedback, I would have rated this product as excellent. Then I dropped my phone (for the first time) on carpet and the case broke. One of the tabs that holds the faceplate section to the phone just snapped right off. I guess it did its job in protecting the phone; but i don't think it would have been damaged on carpet. Oh well, it's just $13, right?



Good luck,

OK, so I haven't dropped my Droid 2 Global -- I rarely drop my cell phone so I don't expect any protective cover to keep my phone safe. I expect the protective cover to keep my expensive cell phone safe-er than if it wasn't covered, i.e., from scratches and minor dings. The Body Glove cover seems like it will do this just fine. With respect to the clips breaking, I haven't had any problems with putting the cover on or taking it off. I'm just careful when I do either. I also haven't experienced any issues with sound quality being affected or with access to the Droid's controls. I'll update the review if anything changes over time...

I thought the first case had a flaw, so i had the vendor send a replacement. It wouldn't snapon either. Later I had the phone replaced for other reasons, and the second phone came with a case. It wouldn't snapon either. The bottom cover works fine, but the topside cover relies upon a small plastic tab to clamp down over the phone. This piece either quickly gets worn down, or it never is sufficient to begin with.

This item works as intended. This is my third body glove and I like the protection and swivel clip. Only small drawback is that it makes the top row of keys a little difficult to use at first. However, it's been about 2 weeks now and I think my fingers have adjusted to the fit. I would recommend this item. good buy.

The case fits well and protects well, it's just a little too thick for my liking and makes it a little difficult to use the lock/power button. The belt clip is also a little difficult to get the phone locked into. I have since bought a more expensive case and am very pleased with it. If this is within your budget, then it will work just fine. But, if you can afford a little more expensive one and use your phone a lot, I would suggest that.

The case over all is very good quality and sturdy, I've dropped my phone a few times and it didn't hurt it at all and it didn't even damage the case. The only thing is that the belt clip only works with fairly narrow belt. The case is a little bulky, but for the protection its not bad at all.



Pro: Fits perfect, Stylish, very sturdy.



Con: Belt clip is small, might be a little bulky for some people.

The case design seems neat. The clip allows you to set the phone at an angle for easy viewing. I had the phone on my belt clip with a heavy coat. I closed van's back hatch, and my coat knocked the phone off of the belt clip onto the pavement. The front cover snapped off and my phone skidded across the pavement on its glass face. So my phone has a permanent scratch because the clip and the cover both failed at the same time. So in the end, because I trusted it, my phone is damaged.

The phone no longer stays in the case after only about five weeks of use. This can be really be dangerous for the phone if you use the case in it's belt-clip mode. This case is fine if you never plan on taking the phone out of it. Otherwise, DO NOT BUY THIS CASE! - Phone Cases - Case - Android Case - Verizon'
