Product Description
Seidio's Innocase Holster Combo includes the Innocase II and Innocase Holster. Crafted from a hard yet flexible material, the Innocase II provides an amazingly thin layer of protection without adding the excessive bulk of other cases. It consists of interlocking top and bottom pieces that fit your phone snugly, and Seidio's signature soft touch finish provides a great feel and better grip without attracting lint. The Innocase Lock Holster is based on the same design as Seidio's original Spring Clip version, but is made a bit larger to accommodate their Innocases. A durable spring clip holds your device securely in place, and then lifts for quick access. An unique locking mechanism holds your device firmly in place. Both the felt liner and the face-in design protect your screen from scratches and exposure to outside elements. Innocase Lock Holsters can be worn in any one of seven different positions, ranging between horizontal and vertical.

This Seidio case is excellent quality and seems very durable, which is consistent with what I have read about their products. It feels well made and sturdy. It is not mall kiosk cheap plastic that will break in a few weeks. There is a definite high quality feel to the spring and swivel of the clip. The case is nicely detailed and fits well. It does not add much bulk to Hero. (I like the slimness of the Hero and didn’t want to bulk it up.) For those who have or want to use stick-on “skins”, I was able to keep the back portion of a Phantom Skinz protection skin and still get the Innocase over it. I did have to remove the front and side pieces of skin for the Innocase to fit properly.
The rubber surface of the Innocase is a bit slippery but that is not necessarily a negative. Sticky silicon sleeves don’t work well in pockets and tend to pick up dust and lint. The face in design of this is a big plus too. Amazon has the best price on this combo by $10-$12. As long as you can wait for Amazon’s longer delivery time on this product, it’s a great price.
NOTE: There has been a change from Seidio. They no longer make the holster with the locking mechanism for the Hero. I received my combo from Amazon several days ago and the holster does not have the lock. I have read on a Hero forum that others have recently received holsters without the lock and someone called Seidio to confirm that change.

The holste is perfect. Been using Seidio holsters with my Blackerries for over 3 yrs and just love them. This one is no exception! With the Blackberry, the skin was a soft rubber material that would grip very well on the center console of my car. The phone WOULD NOT MOVE! This one slides much easier, though it’s still better than just the phone alone. Overall, still impressive and worth the money. Amazon had the best price by far!

Seidio makes great products and the case for the Sprint Hero is no exception. Fit’s perfectly and is very comfortable to wear. Get it if you think it would work for you.

Just bought a Sprint HTC Hero smart phone, and was looking for an innovative case that provides quick access, can attach to a belt, and remain secure, all while complementing the Hero’s sharp styling. Saw the Seidio CaseHolster / Innocase combo with locking feature, and placed an order. I’ve had it for a week, and here is my short-term assessment:
PROS: Incredible fit and finish. The innocase fits the HTC Hero perfectly. Much better than some of the sloppy gel/silicone cases. Access to all appertures (charging/phones/volume/mic/etc) is great. The HTC Hero with innocase holsters with a precison fit, and the top clamp secures the phone with enough clamping tension to provide assurance that the phone will not accidently become dislodged. The belt attach clamp is of very robust manufacture, and will definetly stay hooked to your belt. It swivels at pre-determined detents to accomodate a vertical, horizontal or other angle of positioning on the belt. The whole combo (Innocase & Holster) is VERY well detailed, and works incredibly well as a fast-draw smart-phone rig.
CONS: As near to perfection as the Innocase/Holster combo comes, it does have 1 or 2 minor opportunities for refinement. 1) The locking device that is integrated into the top clamp on my holster is balky, and is hard to move into the “locked” position. It requires 2-hands to overcome resistance, and while it does work, it requires way-more activation effort than should be necessary. As stated above, unless you are planning on running an obstacle course, the holding pressure of the clamp in “un-locked” mode will sufice for 95% of anyone’s needs. My locking device may have just been an exception, but it should go into lock-down mode with single-hand effort. My only other suggestion would be that the innocase might have benefitted from a few strategically-placed subtle molded-in traction ribs to provide better gripping of the case (again – the case grips well, it’s just that a few ridges would make it superior). Also – since the smartphone is holstered “face-side” in, the lens of the camera is always exposed, and it occured to me that some sort of protective/hinged lens cover would give the rig a more protected (armored) capability.
SUMMARY: Even with the noted CONS (minor), this is a REALLY GREAT PRODUCT! I would recommend it to anyone. As an Industrial Design Manager, I tend to critique hard most products, but this is a very impressive product enhancement. Finally someone is developing a cutting-edge holster/case that matches the inspired designs of the various smartphone manufacturers. Well done Seidio! Highly recommend buying this product.
