Iphone Seidio Innocase + Belt Holster Como- Served on a sizzling plate



First off I would like to thank Mr. Jun Osmena for this case. He gave it me. I love it and Needed it badly since I broke my Tunewear holster. I live putting my phone on the belt especially during office hours. In fact the only time I don't put it on my belt is when I got to parties or clubs with the gang. I don't think you would want it there when you get drunk, it'd be safer in your pocket. This is one of the thing's that makes a case like this unique. It gives you a case to do just so, put it in your pocket and protecting it there and the option to Holster it on your belt.



The Belt holster which is the reason I wanted to Get Seidio in the first place. I think Seidio has the best Holster In the market. The only one with a protective lock on the top to make sure your Iphone doesn't slip out accidentally like what happened to me on my tunewear.

This holster shifts from landscape and portait mode easily and because of the lock, you are safe whichever way you choose to have it.

As you notice there is a big sign in the middle which says "Device Face In Design" This ensures your screen is protected at all times while your Iphone is attached. And believe me, no matter how careful you are there are will be lots of accidental hammer like bumps while you have your Iphone on your belt.


One thing I miss though on my tunewear is the ability to put your phone facing out, and then converting your holster into a table stand which allows you to watch videos on the desk. This function would have been a must have and would have made this case one of the best out there. THE GOOD NEWS is that I tried fitting my Iphone+tunewear case on the holster and it FITS!!! So on certain occasions that I really plan to watch movies on the phone, I can put on the Tunewear case and bring my busted tunewear holster (coz it still works as stand) with me.





The Case is two piece case. This allows for an easier on and off action on the Iphone. Also, you can remove the bottom part to make it fit Apples Iphone Docking station. Seidio also sells their own docking station which will fit the Iphone with the Innocase on. Unfortunately we don't have that right now to test with.



As you can clearly see from the above pictures. Like my Tunewear case, it has a hole to show off the Apple Logo. I don't think this was necessary, but the good thing though is they placed a protective layer of film on it. As you can see from my pic below, there is a reflection of my window blinds on the film.

Since the only way to but this iphone with the Seidio Innocase on the Seidio Belt Ciip is inwards (to protect the screen) People will clearly see you have an Apple Iphone on you! Bragging rights?




The inner part of the case sports a protected layer that prevents the Iphone from getting scratched while you put it on or take it off the case. The problem though is because of this, Most, if not all, screen protectors tend to bubble at the edges when you put this case on. It is just a micro MM too tight! I ruined my screen protector while putting this on. Later, I will have to go and get me a new screen protector and trim at least 1mm off the edges all around it and make sure that when I put it on the screen, I place it inwards creating about a 1mm boarder of unprotected iphone screen. This will prevent the case from squeezing the screen protector which causes it to bubble.



The case is very protective, unlike my light and thin tunewear which Stongly Clings to the iphone which is what make it thin and light, there is just less of it.

It has provision openings for all the ports you need.

Camera, Volume, Power & Headphones at the top, docking port at the bottom and as I mentioned earlier, the Iphone Logo at the back.

All in all, I love this case. It could do with some additions like the Converting into a stand for video playback, and making it more Screen Protector Friendly.

Seidio Innocase = 8/10 Techisland Coconuts.

Seidio Holster = 10/10 Techisland Cocunits.

Now you know, now you TECH KNOW.
