Seidio: Convert Combo
The Seidio Convert Combo will help your HTC EVO 4G survive almost anything, but in the process, you’re going to have to sacrifice the phones slim profile and some minor functionality.
The case comes in five pieces that blend a hard case, silicone, and a screen protector to maximize protection for the phone. The screen protector goes on first followed by the hard case which splits in two and then slides onto the phone. This case can be used by itself when you’re not in need of intense protection and will save you a significant amount of bulk. It has slots for the phones kickstand, camera, and charging port. It has actual covers for the buttons on the phone to keep them clear of dust and dirt.
When in need of some extra insurance that your phone will be safe, the next layer is a silicone cover which slides on over the hard case. The silicone ends up covering the kickstand opening from the previous layer so you lose the ability to use this and it also adds in a flap to protect the camera lens. While this protects the camera lens from scratches, it limits the convenience of the camera by adding an extra step and having to pull back the flap in order to use it.
The last two layers are again hard cases. The first piece fits over the silicone and wraps around the corners of the phone to give added protection against falls and blows to the back of the phone. The second piece fits over your screen, protecting it from frontal blows. The second half also has a convenient belt clip for easy carrying and access.
This case isn’t for everyone. As expected, all the layers add significant size to the phone which is inconvenient unless your lifestyle makes it a necessity sacrafice. The ability to use the case with just the base layer is bonus so you only have to use the extra layers of protection when needed. With all layers on however, you can sleep soundly knowing that your phone is as safe as its going to get.
