Just recently got my streak 7 and planning on getting the dell dock. I read that the otter box case wont work with the dock, so im looking for some suggestions on which case would work best.

Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case

http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Silicone-Skin-Jelly-Case-Black-P89120.htm
I was looking for a rubber case/skin for my streak to help it survive any drops and I came across this one. I got the case from Dell and it just seems like it will transfer the energy from the drop right to the streak. The site says they aren't shipping till September, so maybe some other companies will step up, but if not I'll be getting this one. Anyone else found any rubber/gel cases?
I also think I'm going to get the Zagg Invisible Shield, so I can protect the plastic parts of the phone and not just the screen.
-merc
It looks ok thanks for the links
Case-mate is also saying they will have a case in early sept.

So do we have any idea if these cases will be good or do we have to wait until they ship before we find out?
They just change the stock picture of the Amzer for the Dell streak. It look alot better now.

I saw a lot of cases of the silicone type on ebay.
Some of the pics even say Amzer, also the price is right at about 7 bucks including shipping.
I know they look exactly like amzers

can somebody please post the review?
So this looks pretty good! And the price is not excessive. I wonder ...
Meh, for the same price I cancelled my jelly case preorder and went with the Otterbox.

I was going to do that, but my AMZER is in the mail, so i'll at least give it a shot. I see the Otterbox isn't shipping until the 19th I think, so I'll wait for reviews on it while i have the other one in the meantime.
Did you order yours from Amazon or amzers website. Please post pics and review once u receive it.

Amazon was out of stock although cheaper, so I ordered from Amzer since it was in stock and they shipped it yesterday. I'll post pics when I get it...
*** I just ordered an Otterbox case as well, so I will compare and roll with my personal favorite.
Got mine in the mail today. It's not bad, pretty protective, but it does make the Streak a little bulkier. The case is a little more durable than I thought it would be, but that's a good thing.
More pics. Forgot to mention that the volume rocker, power, and camera buttons are covered. They still work pretty well though, no need to press harder or anything.
Also, the case isn't in the way of the haptic buttons or the earpiece.

Does it collect dust and how does it slip in and out of your pocket?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Hi there
I just bought one from ebay for 8 quid and it came with rapid delivery. The case is great as you can stop treating the dell like a baby and as a phone. Dust problems are minimal in my limited use. However, I have noticed that the case comes a little to forward onto the screen and can affect your ability to open the phone with the slide to open option, as mutli touch is interferes with its general use.
Other than that an absolutely must buy piece of kit for a phone that is sooooo scratch sensitive.
I get my case today. I will post reviews after I get it.

I have been using the case and its definitly a nice case. It still collects dust but not as bad as other cases. It adds some weight and thickness to the phone but its still pocketable. I recommend this case for anyone with a dell streak.

Hi,
I have bought one from ebay also n would certainly recommend, it actually makes the phone sit more comfortable in ur hands

Nexus S fits nicely into the G1 pouch

I upgraded from my G1 to the Nexus S and found that the NS fits nicely in the neoprene care that came with the G1.
Are there any other suggestions for improvised carrying cases?

Otterbox commuter case.

Ill give you a little review of what I think of it.
Quality is good as in any otterbox product ive come across. Fit and finish is top notch and fits on the device nice and snug. It comes with 2 parts and a screen protector.
I have not put the screen protector on yet since I have the one from tmobile. (which is **** btw) The only downside of the case I see is that it does not fit in the docking station. May have too do some surgery to get it too work.
I say get one its a great case and the back is hard plastic. I have not tested the durability yet and hope I dont have too.

Thanks for the review. I have been debating, but will probably end up getting the otter box.

I love my Otterbox for the Streak 7, but would love to find a nook type cover (closing/opening) like a book that fit the Streak WITH the otterbox on.
I love the Otterbox, really sucks that it doesn't fit in the dock with it.
Let me know if you cut anything on yours to make it fit.
I have been pleased with the Otterbox. I think the only complaint I have is that it took several tries to get the case on straight over the silicone. OCD. Had to get all the edges right. & it would be better with an sd card cutout. Debating about getting the dock, since I really haven't started consuming media with the S7 yet. So don't know how valuable a dock cutout would be (for me).

Not that I was expecting it to, but the Leather case at T-Mobile doesn't work WITH the Otterbox on the Streak. Furthermore the biggest problem the leather case, other than the shoddy quality is that it doesn't have a port for the charging cable.
I just got the commuter today and I really like it. It seems to protect the tablet pretty well.

Curious, what did you guys pay for the otterbox case? I could swear the commuter case was $39.99 but now its showing $49.99.

I ordered mine through dell for $49.95(have a dell preferred account) and I think you are right! a few days ago I checked otterbox's website and saw it for 39.. I figured dell just marked it up by 10 bucks, but it seems like otterbox rasied the price
Mine was $39 a couple of weeks ago when I bought it of the Otterbox site.

On the otterbox there is a rubber cut out on the top left corner. What's that cut out for?

I called OtterBox and told them that I had went to the otterbox site a few weeks ago and the price was 39.99 and I wanted to know if I could still get it at that price since it was now 49.99 and the rep spoke to a manager they both said that they were unaware of the price going up. They sold me the commuter case for 39.99 with free shipping!

[Q] Will the DS7 Otterbox case work with the Dock?

Hey all, http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...note_bnrank=0&baynote_irrank=2&~ck=dellSearch
Will that still allow the tablet to be in the Dock from dell too? Would hate to get the case and the dock and not be able to use the dock since the case is on it.
Will not fit in the dock with the case. I have the commuter case and dock. No go. Atleast its not hard to take off or put on the case
Sent from my Dell Streak 7
Do you think a gel skin would fit the dock? Or do you feel nothing will fit the dock?
Also I learned I WILL get a dock.. After using Wiimote for my emulators... The dock would be nice to keep it upright!. =D
From what i see no case can be used in the dock. It has to sit flat on the base. The dock is nice i got it so i could charge from my pc
Sent from my Dell Streak 7
Ok cool thanks. So to you, its worth 70$ for the dock?
Go to tmo and buy 2 things 20% off

Please recommend a car mount

Can someone recommend a good car mount for the Streak 7 with an Otterbox commuter case on it? I would love to mount the things behind the steering wheel in my Saturn Ion.
Don't know if this will fit with the Otterbox case, but this one's the generic for the S7 (don't think there's a purpose built one):

I was looking at this. Has anyone used it before with the Dell Streak 7? I'm just worried the tablet will be in my way too much because the arm on that mount looks short.
I've been fond of the SlipGrip car mounts. I currently use one for my Streak 5 with an Otterbox Defender case, and I plan to buy one for my newly acquired Streak 7.
Here's a link to their car mount for the Streak 7 w/Otterbox Commuter case:

Scosche dashDock for tablets looks pretty nice. I just ordered one. I'll report back when I get it. $29.00 + $6.50 for delivery direct from Scosche web site.

Did you ever get this? If you did please report back on it. Thank!
I just got a bluetooth OBDII adapter to use with Torque so now I'm really itching to get a car mount.
I also found this, which looks interesting considering it's only $20 shipped:
Navitech Firm Grip 360 degree Adjustable Mount Cradle
Has anyone picked one of these up?
CAREFUL, that SlipGrip car docks are only the docks, no case is included.

I alrady have a case. I'm just looking for a dock that will work with the case. I'm not rushing into getting one. I would rather get some feedback from someone who has one first.

I just got the SlipGrip dock for using with Commuter. It's great quality to be honest. Holds the Streak very tight and offers flexible adjustments.
The suction cup holds very well and tight. It might take you a bit to get the perfect position in the car.
I will snap some photos later today.
Silicone Sleeve on ChargerCity Tablet Vent Mount
for my Streak 7, I have the Silicone Sleeve Gel Skin Cover Case using the ChargerCity Tablet Vent Mount, both from ebay. So far, so good. I find the windshield mounts never works out for me, falls off often

Here you go. The one I ordered is for using with the Commuter case.
The dock is very well built. Although it took a while to find the perfect spot and adjustment, but once set, it's great.
Oh yes the suction cup does suck well
