Centro Cases
Centro cases come in a wide variety of flavours and now with ever more Centro cases coming you'll make a better choice if you understand the key Centro case styles available.
Several types of Treo case will work with a Centro but be careful since the Centro form factor is slimmer and the Centro may fall out from the less compatible designs. Avoid the hassle of returns by choosing a store that provides a filter that will only show you Centro cases compatible with your Centro.
Below we've described the most popular kinds of Centro case. Rest assured the Centronauts store stocks all varieties of Centro cases.
Centro Holster
This is the most popular style of Centro case.
The Centro holster (sometimes called a clip case) is typically a formed piece of plastic that grips the Centro at its four corners, it has a belt clip and latch with which
to release the Centro. In most cases the Centro is reversible within the case meaning you can store your Centro either screen in (and protected)
or screen out (so you can use it in-case as it were). If the screen is 'in' like this picture then it cannot be used whilst in-situ.
Removal is usually a simple matter of depressing the clip to release the phone.
We think it's popular for it's simplicity, ease of use and generally low bulk and weight over head.
Hard Centro cases
These offer good protection for your
Centro but can be more bulky than Centro skin cases. Hard cases come in a variety of materials including leather, metal and plastic. Most do not provide
protection for the Centro screen but do come with belt loop or clips some of which are removeable. Thus you can use the Centro in-situ.
Centro Skin Cases
Usually made of silicone the
Centro Skin Cases are popular because they provide additional grip and reasonable protection for reduced bulkiness and
typically lower cost than hard cases. A minor caveat is that it makes it harder to retrieve the Centro from a pocket or purse because the silicone
sticks to many surfaces. The silicone material can become discoloured in time and only high quality skin cases fit perfectly.
Recently, improved manufacturing and better materials have led to some very slim skin case designs that add very little bulk to the Centro.
Like the hard case above, the skin case can remain in place whilst operating the Centro but unlike the hard case most do not have belt loops or clips.
Centro Pouches
Centro Pouches
come in three flavours: side pouches, top pouches and pocket pouches. They typically cover the entire Centro including the
screen and are usually made of leather, plastic or silicon. Therefore Centro pouches offer the most complete protection available. As their name suggests they
keep the Centro safe in a variety of orientations. In nearly all cases the Centro must be removed from the pouch before use. Most pouches will fit multiple smartphones
as long as the basic dimensions are the same.
Pouches usually come with belt loops or clips. This coupled with more sturdy or rugged construction add to the total bulk.
Body Skins
An Centro body skin
is the next generation of skin case and takes the form of a formed film that comes in several pieces that
you apply to the designated areas of your Centro. Most have a screen protection component. All can remain on whilst the Centro is being used. The offer
scratch resistance and enhanced grip but do little for physical protection. They are the least bulky of all Centro cases.
Flip-Lid Centro Cases
Flip-lid cases
are the hinged syblings of hard and pouch cases that enable you to use the Centro whilst in the case by flipping the protective screen flap either up like a Star Trek
communicator or across like a book. They are usually bulkier and more expensive than their parents but offer convienience in exchange.
