    Seido innocase + OEM leather case for Bold

    Has anyone had experience with using these two together? If not, do you think it would work? The seido adds 1mm. I'm wondering if the bold with seido on it will fit into the blackberry case that come with the phone. And will the sleeper magnet on the leather case still function through the seido? I would like to use both at the same time.

    Besides adding dimensions to the size I would also be concerned about getting it in & out the case if it did fit. That is a "rubbery" case & may "stick" to the insides of the case making it difficult to pull it out or slide it back in if it's a rough leather lining instead of smooth.
    Get the Innocase b/c it would help protect your phone then shop for a case. But usually manufacturers don't leave much space between phone housing & insides of cases b/c everyone wants a snug fit so the phone doesn't fall out easily.
    Hopefully someone has done something simular & will jump in here to help you decide what to get that works the way you want.

    That's a good point, thanks. One of the reasons I want the (clear) innocase is b/c the battery door is really loose and rocks from side to side as well. But I want to have the magnet sleeper function too.

    Did you want to look into fixing the battery door?

    All it takes is adding either a playing card, or some tape to the inside of the door, or even both. I used tape and a playing card cut to fit perfectly. No more loose cover. Although, the cover that came with my replacement Bold isn't loose and doesn't creak.

    Seido Innocase + OEM Seido Innocase update

    The (crystal clear) Seide Innocase + the OEM BB sleeper case that came with the bold do work together. Sleeper function works and it all fits into the case. At least with the one I got with my device. The fit is more snug, but the protection seems optimal.
