Motorola Droid :: OEM Skins / Cases Vs Aftermarket
Mar 1, 2010
I just ordered two new Motorola Droid's on sunday, they're due to get here on wednesday so i've been killing time looking at accessories. Just had a couple of quick questions. Keep in mind we're looking for the *gel* cases for the droid.I know that OEM skins/cases will cost more than the bargain skins/cases on ebay I'm guessing that some of the gel cases that cost more have had some more thought put into them and are probably higher quality (get what you pay for maybe?). I'm basically looking for personal recommendations for a brand or a website that sells GOOD QUALITY gel cases.I'm trying to avoid having to return something because it turns out that the gel case covers up the flash, the keys on the slide out keyboard, or wont allow the phone to be used in the car dock.. That kind of thing. Anyone have any success stories they can share?

Does anyone know where we can buy Gel/rubber skins or some sort of cases that were actually made for the Droid?I've been looking everywhere. Usually Walmart (where i got my phone) sell the accessories for the phones they sell, but they dont for the droid.I really would like a working gel skin for it.but it says it wont ship til the 16th, and i'd rather get it much sooner.Im having such a hard time finding any accessories. AH! Nothing local has them.the official Motorola droid site seems broken. Shows gel's and stuff for the phone, but cant ever find them on the store page after you click the image.

I bought an aftermarket car charger on eBay for about $5.says it has that intelligent IC chip that stops charging when the device is full.I assume having an aftermarket car charger is fine, I just wanted to get input from the board.Here is the ebay link to the one I bought.Retractable Retract Car Charger FOR MOTOROLA Droid X - eBay (item 300451296417 end time Aug-06-10 12:05:25 PDT)

using Beautiful Widgets for the clock/weather widget. I am using one of the skins from the available to download section of the config. Airport One or something like that. When I turned on Home++ it took that skin off, and its not even showing in my downloaded skins. Nor is it available to re-download. This is the case with a few others I downloaded as well. When I uninstalled Home++ they all magically appeared.

I tried installing the Phantom Skinz I received yesterday and I couldn't for the life of me get the smaller pieces for the sides of the phone (only tried the sides on the top half of the phone) to stick. They would just slide right off and would not adhere to the phone. It was especially bad around the corners. I have installed many of these (multiple phones, macbook, ipods, etc...) and I have never had this much trouble installing one. Any suggestions from you guys who have installed one of these on the Droid? What should I mix the water with to get the best stick? I tried a drop of dish soap and that obviously didn't work. I did get the one on the screen fine (however there are some bubbles that still haven't went away after 24 hours !)

I was in the Verizon store and got a nice ugly orange hard case for it, and we had trouble clipping the piece on the front. We tried it on the demo and it wouldn't work. No big deal..just a bad mold, it happens. I decide to plop it down and get an Otterbox. Same deal. Tried that one on the demo, and it fit. We go back and open a couple more and try them, same deal. The orange one was defective, but the others were not and fit the demo as well as his own personal phone. Our only assumption can be that there is something wrong with the molding on my Droid, not allowing anything to clip on.

I have an HTC holster that I used for the last year. The Droid JUST fits into it. However, I kept having the Droid come on in my holster and it was driving me batty how it would unlock on it's own. Then it hit me. The holster clips shut MAGNETICALLY.The Droid thought it was in a multimedia dock so it stayed on while on my side.THAT's why my battery was draining so fast.So, be sure to get a velcro or other type of holster, nothing with magnets.

Those snap on cases that Verizon sells are really bad. I had a Body Glove one for my previous phone, a Samsung Glyde, worst phone ever made BTW, and it broke within 2 months, and I had another similar one for my Droid, the first one broke in less than a month and the one the store replaced it with broke in just over 2 months. Is there any decent cases for the Droid?

I picked up my droid, multimedia dock and hard shell clear verizon branded cases this morning (as im sure a lot of you have done also =) However in order to insert the droid into the multimedia dock I must remove the bottom portion of the case. Does anyone know if any other cases will work and not have to be removed? Perhaps the soft gel case that verizon is selling for the droid?

So what cases are you purchasing with the Droid? Holsters or cases? Also does it come with one?

Never had a phone that was worth buying a case for. I have a hard shell case on my iPod and it's done a good job keeping the thing from getting beaten up (despite my repeatedly dropping it).
Is one better than the other (hard case vs. rubber)? Also, will putting a case on the phone stop you from being able to slip it into that multimedia station?

I have a Otterbox Commuter case coming in the mail, and would like to get a horizontal car mount to compliment it. Knowing the Motorola mount will not fit... Can anyone share horizontal car mount recommendations?

I am looking for a case that will prevent the keyboard from sliding out. I know I will more than likely not find what I am looking for because the slide out keyboard is a selling point for this phone, but mine keeps sliding out in my pocket and I am concerned that the open portion of the keyboard might bend, flex or crack if it is bent the wrong way. Maybe I am being paranoid, but it never hurts to be preventative

So has anybody found a slim case that you can have on your Droid while mounted in the media station of GPS car mount? I currently have the invisible shield on my droid but i'm debating about taking it off for a standard case.

I got the body glove case, and I like the feel of that, so I don't wish to use another. However are there any media docks, and car docks that will work with this case on the phone?

Just installed Better Keyboard on my Droid, but am not 100% satisfied with the resolution of the keyboard. The default Android keyboard is gorgeous, but the Better Keyboard seems fuzzy. Not illegible by any means, but definitely not up to the task of looking goo don the Droid's screen.
Anybody have any favorite skins they are using that look good? I'm using the Android skin because I liked the way the default keyboard looks.

Love the Vibrant, but the charging using the included charger is unbelievably slow. Does anyone know if an aftermarket charger would allow for faster charges?
