Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / January 2007What case do you recommend (Motorola V3 Razr)
Silicone, plastic, rubberized something, neoprene, leather, whatever .... I'm looking to snap a good quality case on my new Motorola Razr V3 cellphone but I am confused by the huge selection. I like the Disney cases but none say what they are made out of and that makes me leery. http://www.wirelessground.com/morav3diprca1.html The pink silicone seem durable but I noticed they have "bra straps" at the hinge which almost certainly will break before anything else. http://www.wirelessground.com/cymorav3v3cv4.html The rubberized material seems durable but it has belt clip connections which I don't want. http://www.wirelessground.com/mov3v3crarug3.html I can't tell if any of these cover the keypad or camera or screen with clear plastic but I prefer to be able to hit the keypad without having to press through plastic. I don't like the hard plastic or leather cases. I just want something that is well made, fits tightly, and protects the phone. Can someone who has a case PLEASE let me know what the important things to look for are. All I care about is good quality, good protection, and pink. Thank you! >The pink silicone seem durable but I noticed they have "bra straps" at the >hinge which almost certainly will break before anything else. > http://www.wirelessground.com/cymorav3v3cv4.html I have a clear cover like you're looking at here. Top notch product. I like it because it fits the phone perfectly. Never had any problems with the "bra straps" you mentioned. FWIW: I would not use any other cover on my RAZR ~W~ ====================== Fly high, fly straight, and fly FAST!!! Why do you need a cover at all? I keep mine in my pocket. After a year it still looks like new. > Silicone, plastic, rubberized something, neoprene, leather, whatever > .... [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Thank you! > Why do you need a cover at all? The store told me that without the cover, the Razr is almost certain to break because it is so thin and flimsy. They had cheap plastic covers in all the wrong colors. I would tend to agree with them that the Motorola Razr V3 sure does look fragile. Why else would so many confusing covers be on the market if people weren't using the covers to protect the phone? Because they're profitable, that's why. I had the Razr v3 for year and now a Razr v3i for year. Neither show(ed) any signs of wear after keeping it in my pocket and using it frequently at construction sites and in all kinds of climates. The phone is made out of metal and is actually quite sturdy and will take a fair amount of abuse. It is NOT waterproof but neither are any of the covers. If you want to protect the screens use this: http://www.shieldzone.com/item_description/MOTRAZRSCRN.html They also offer a full body shield if you really think you need it. I use the screen protectors on my v3i and they work well without bulking up the phone. I use them because it's easier to clean the screens with these things on. >> Why do you need a cover at all? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Why else would so many confusing covers be on the market if people > weren't using the covers to protect the phone? > The store told me that without the cover, the Razr is almost certain to > break because it is so thin and flimsy.

It may look fragile, but if you don't treat it like a wad of Kleenex, it should last. I have a case so that the outside display doesn't get all scratched up. It is alleged that Cheese Bandit claimed: > The store told me that without the cover, the Razr is almost certain to > break because it is so thin and flimsy.

The store is just trying to sell you something you don't need. > I would tend to agree with them that the Motorola Razr V3 sure does look > fragile. Did you actually handle the phone you're getting? From what I've seen, the RAZR is solidly built. And even if it weren't... no cover you're looking at will make it more solid. You'd need a form-fitting hard case cover for that! > Why else would so many confusing covers be on the market if people weren't > using the covers to protect the phone? For a lot of people, the phone is a fashion statement, not merely a way to talk to their girl/boyfriends. All of those cases are there to dress up the phone, not protect it. If the phone isn't durable to handle day-to-day non-abusive use, then it's the wrong phone and it'll break anyway. For my money, and I have paid for them, the only reason(s) to get a case for a flip phone is a belt case/pouch, or if you intend to keep/carry it in a pocket or bag where you KNOW that you're also carrying something that will otherwise damage it. If you were talking about a stick phone, like the SLVR, then I'd agree that a case might be a good idea, if it's a flip-lid or pouch case - specifically so you can prevent accidental presses to the keypad. This is not an issue with a flip phone.

I tried that with an old V710 I had, and it flipped out of the belt holder when I had to get on a forklift at work as I put on the OSHA-required seatbelt. These days, the phone stays out of a case which would cause scuffing and wear on the finish of the plastic and in my left breast pocket. With our work uniforms, that's no problem. SignatureCurtis R.
