Well I was looking through cases and found the Cingular 8525 Armor Case, and it looked like a great, durable case. After reading through topics I found people say it dropped their 8525, and since I have already ordered this I want to know if other people are experiencing the same problem?

Yes, and the phone broke into three pieces.

Plus many other issues. Avoid.

It works OK if you take off the screw, use it as a 'pocket' case. Realize that if you tip the case too far, or if you push up on a button on the side, it's still going to rise out of the case. I would return it. Still looking for a good hard case. I can tell that they spent some time on the fit of this case and it is well crafted and well manufactured but it has a serious fundamental design flaw or two. Do not trust it on your belt because many things like seatbelts, doorknobs, your own pants leg if you crouch far, can open the case and throw the phone out.

Can't believe they'd even sell a product like this, I saw "armor" and saw it wasn't some leather case and looked very durable, so I decided to order it, too late to cancel now as it's already been processed, but it should be good in my pocket right? I was planning on using it on my belt, but if it will be fine in my pocket ( won't pop out to get scratched ) then it should be alright until I get a new case.

That is how I use it.
