hey all, i'm getting ready to buy a case for my Maxx (again) and wanted opinions.  i had the Trident Kraken and wasn't impressed because it's always doing what it's name implies...Cracking.  sure, the phone was alright, but the case cracked and busted around it just while going in and out of my pocket and, yes, the occasional drop but never a far drop, not to mention the clear, non-replaceable screen protector got scratched up horribly and looked awful to the point i busted it out.  and the clip that comes with it is a joke.  

 

i went with a cheap, hard plastic cover for a while, and while it was really nice having a nice, thin phone for a while and having a more stylish cover, it wasn't good for it.  now i have a NEW Razr Maxx (insurance) and i don't wanna have it looking like crap...so what cases do y'all recommend?  i'd like a more stylish case, if that's possible.  that's one area where i guess my wife's iFail has the clear advantage...she can get any kind of case she wants.  if i could find one in a different color other than black, or possibly one in camo, i'd be happy.  i've been looking at the Otter Box Defender (had it on other phones) and i know it's pretty tough, but i only see it in black.  also wanted to know what was considered the "best" before i "pull the trigger". 

 

thanks y'all!!

Seidio always has good cases, but for me, I recently went naked with my Maxx. I got the belt clip for a Bonic and the Maxx fits naked in it like a dream. I prefer naked phones over a bulky case. Dangerous, but looks so much better.

Thanks y'all! Think I'm gonna go with the Otter Box again. My buddy told me about a new one called the "Armor" series that's suppose to be waterproof to a certain depth, dustproof, crushproof up to like 1,600 lbs and all that...said its about $100 though...any one heard of that one?

Yes, looking myself it appears my friend was mistaken, they don't have the Armor case for the Razr. Guess its gonna be the defender...just wish i could get it in another color than black...plain black is just kinda boring. Oh well

I've been looking on Amazon...but on the Otter Box, don't they only make black? If so, how would there be more variety on Ebay? Just curious.

I'm not really sure but I know for the HD and Max HD they have a few different ones that are not on the otter box site.and most come in otter box packaging but you don't get the official otter box warranty. But they don't really honor their own warranty in my experiences that's why I started go to eBay.

Ah i see...i ended up pulling the trigger on a black defender case, should be here Tuesday...not all stoked, its just a plain Jane case...i guess it'll protect it but I'm dreading the bulk i hadn't missed.

I'll have to look into that azle. I ended up getting the Otter Box Defender and overall, its a pretty good case even if it is boring and plain. Guess the case isn't suppose to "entertain me", its suppose to protect the phone that does...and it does do that.
