Guest maskaler Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hello all I've had an OtterBox case for my streak for a few months now, having dropped my previous streak on holiday and needed an insurance replacement due to a buggered screen. I've been annoyed recently at how massive the streak is in the otterbox case, until today I actually started considering another phone as it's just 'too' big. Then I took it out of the case and realised what a beautiful piece of slimline kit it is, and that my case is the source of all my woes. With that in mind, and after a 2 paragraph explanation, can anyone recommend, or does anyone know of, a super-slimline case for the streak? Something that'll protect it well enough should I drop it from a standing height, but not pad it out so it's the size of a breeze block in the same way the otterbox case does. Cheers Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mancterrier Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Which otterbox you using? I used the impact which seemed large but since using the commuter feels a lot slimmer/sleeker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go with mancterrier , the commuter cases are a lot slimmer, I have one for my desire and it's really slim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jii Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I totally understand your problem. Call me brave... I use my Streak "naked" and/or with Dell Form Fit case. The Dell's form fit case is the only one I am willing (reluctantly) to put up with. I think it will do a OK job if you drop it from > 3' high. For the Dell Form Fit case, search Dell Streak at Dell's site, you won't miss it (~20 USD) The Streak is a beauty with it slimline. Just be a little more careful handling it. BTW, I am a heavy user and it is with me all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't dropped the phone at all. Heavy user, but very careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toyfreak Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I use the Otter Box Commuter case and I like it. Maybe you should try the Zagg Invisible Shield or something like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest grumpy_o_g Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I simply went out and bought a wallet that the streak fits into very nicely. There's a few wallets out there that will fir it though a couple of people have accused me of having a ladies purse (it's absolutely nothing like a purse) - it's quite simply a wallet just slightly larger than the Streak and it has a central pocket that fits it perfectly. As I wear glasses and als have BB for work I've managed to reduce the amount of crud I carry by one as I no longer have an iPhone in a separate case as well. It cost me £37 I believe from a local shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought the invisible shield and was not overly impressed with it :) the touch screen was not responsive and started to peel off and had to ditch it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flapheadx Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) I wanted a nice looking leather case and went for a Tuff-Luv Saddleback. When I first got it, I was really shocked, because the Streak has approx. doubled in thickness. But after using it for about 2 month now, I really got used to it, and I wouldn't wanna miss it. Looks very stylish and gives a good feeling of protection. I can recommend it to anyone looking for a leather case. Edit: Just checked, they now also have a slim&lite silicone case for the streak. But I have no idea how it compares to the otterbox... Edited December 18, 2010 by flapheadx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using the form fit case more and more now-a-days and less "naked" now ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spike8585 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I use my Streak 'naked' and have dropped it once onto my tile floors from 4 feet. The side plastic panel beside the screen came off. I just put it back, as it has an adhesive. No long term damage. The Streaks composite shell is super tough. I hate cases. This thing is big enough.

Guest maskaler Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I have the giant rubbery beast... I might give the Commuter a try though - cheers for the recommendations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mancterrier Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I have the giant rubbery beast... I might give the Commuter a try though - cheers for the recommendations! Its twice the case the impact is mate, you wont regret it.. I never used cases either before I dropped mine and the screen went BOOOOOOM. Lesson learnt...
