And it looks really thin, shouldnt add much bulk to the phone. Got it for $12.99 with free shipping. This is where i bought it from:
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=39711
And wow, super tight snug fit, i felt a little scared closing it cause i thought it will scratch the phone, so i dont really know but its no. Just need a screen cover and that should not be a problem at all. since the plastic barely touches the screen.
Highly recommend this case!
Looks good...
Can you post a pic of how it looks on the phone?
I hate that little hole thats on the back, which is for holster clips i guess? Still waiting for something really good to pop up somewhere. So far only those TPU cases are interesting, but that pattern is horrible
I'd love something like a body glove but made of really thin rubber.
Something like rubber washing up glove thickness, but really tight so you have to stretch it on.... oh er.

i bought almost the same style of the case! but no hole at the back. ebay ftw. im also gonna get a screen protector and a rubberized case for double protection =/
I have this case
Looks good when it's on but it's a piece of crap. If you ever need to take it off the clips will snap off making the case worthless. It's ashame too, it's a nice looking case with a good feel like it won't slip out of your hands.

You highly recommend this case? That seems odd considering that people hate this case, and call it a "unbelievable piece of garbage".

Also there were other people on this forum trashing it, but too lazy to search.

I think there a ton that look the same, but the one i got, it doesnt wanna come off, and i dont wanna force it off. Its solid as hell right now, maybe i am a lucky one, btw took pics, i am gonna post them.
But i will say this, i dropped it one, and the edge is sort of not attached anymore, i mean its still on, but not fully. Either way, its not gonna come off without some brute force lol
Ordered this case form Seido + holster
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hlcsr3hnx1-bk.htm
It's not perfect, but pretty close. Had the same for my iPhone and it was great. Expensive, but this is the only case that comes with holster
Highly recommended.
I was wondering... I had my phone without a case for the first month and it still looked perfectly new by the time my case came in. Does anyone else have a case on their phone?
If so, what case do you use? I know there's already a cases thread, but this is different. Thanks!
i use a dhd otterbox defender.its awesome cause i work construction and its saved my phone a few times
I do use a case, but I dont like big bulky cases nor do i like wearing a clip on my belt.
I got one of those cheapy TPU cases on ebay. Gives enough protection from minor bumps and scratches, but I doubt it provides any shock protection like the otterboxs or casemate models.
i use the bodyglove mirage tpu case. i like it, not too bulky. only problem is i noticed that it effects my GPS signal. dosnt stop it completely. but in my house, with the case ON, i cant get a lock better than about 35 feet. with the case OFF, it will drop down to 16 feet. while it dosnt make GPS unusable, it def makes it less accurate. driving, i noticed with the case on, maps will say accurate to 10 meters, if i take the case off, it immediatley drops to 3 meters. meh, i dont honestly use GPS that much, so i figure if i need to i will just take the case off.
I use a case for the peace of mind of not worrying about scratches. Phone is already big enough, so the thinnest possible case is sufficient for me. I use the Case-Mate Barely There in black matte.
Case Mate Tough for me. The one for the Inspire, of course. It's a solid case with a good look to it. Might take a look at it. But no screen protector yet. They are always sold out.

barely there case from case-mate I hate big bulky cases
I use the Platinum Hard Case/Holder. They look and work like the Seidio. Worked well when I had the Captivate.
Just wanted to chime in to say that the metal that the Inspire is made out of seems to be very scratch resistant. I leaned up against a metal cooler's edge at work (The very corner) and my phone was in a belt clip holster. I leaned with about half my body weight before i realized it was right on my phone, and when i backed away i saw a long white mark on the back of my phone and i thought the worst. I rubbed it a little bit with my thumb and it went away immediately, im not quite sure how or why but there was no mark at all!
This is the nicest phone I've owned... Having it wrapped in a DHD Otterbox Defender is great for peace of mind.
Great slim case...

This is the case I use. They were so cheap I bought a bunch. It protects everything really well.
I use the speck case not big not bulky no clip its a hard case and fits like glove.

using a case similar to the barely-there model, purchased from ebay. so far it's holding up well.
I had a case and returned it. Too bulky. Now I have a full body skin on it. Will it protect the phone from a drop? Probably not. Best not to drop it
Odds are I'll sell this phone in a year or two when the next latest and greatest is available.
Thanks everyone for the replies! I just wanna say... I took my phone out of its case for a day (CaseMate Barely There), and my friend drops it while playing a game. There's now a scratch on it (it fell on the floor of a workshop).
Also, regarding a comment I saw about what the phone is made out of; you mentioned that there was a white line on it that made you think it was scratched. Boy, that's happened to me so many times! I always get scared, but I'm surprised at how tough the phone is. But this time the mark is permanent, so don't always depend on the toughness of the phone... I'm putting the case back on right now. Never taking it off again
Again, thanks for the replies. I'm with most of you in saying that the phone is already big enough as it is; that's why I got the Barely There, because I didn't want anything making the phone too much bigger.
Pt Series Case
I work at BB and picked up my Inspire 4G yesterday, so far I've used it in the Pt Series Case from BB. I got it really cheap and it isn't half bad. I will be keeping a case on my Inspire because I ran my Nexus One out of a case for upwards of 6 months, and I dropped while it was in the slip skin and it nicked the top of it. My dad has my N1 now, and is using a Case-Mate tough case. I plan on picking up the DHD version to try out for my Inspire next paycheck!
Oh and the little belt clip is a nice feature!
I've long gotten over the worries of scratching my cases. I can see the use of an otterbox for those who worry about drops, but it's like sweating the first scratch you get on a new car. It's gonna happen. I don't really care about resale of my phone, I usually just pass it down for cheap to a friend in need (who hasn't upgraded in like 2 years) and they are more than happy to accept it as is. I can't imagine the folks with OCD bad enough to pamper their phone so much it never gets any wear. There's no enjoyment in technology that way!
I personally go for a screen protector film and a thin/light back side case that allows for the best access to top/side buttons.

I used to have an InvisibleShield for my Samsung Captivate, but I didn't like it for many reasons.
One of the reasons was that I'm big into photography. Whatever Zagg used to make the screen protector stick greatly deteriorates the quality of the screen, and it bothered me.
Also, it makes the screen a lot more rubberized than most screen protectors. A lot of people say that the texture bothers them, but I think that's bullcrap... I can see the textured difference, but can't feel it and don't really care. On the other hand, the fact that my screen feels like sticky rubber bothers me.
Anyway, I try to steer clear of Zagg stuff now. I will recommend it though, if that makes sense. It's 100% quality stuff, and does stand up to its claims in protection. But I have my own personal reasons for not wanting to use it myself.
Hey guys I have been looking around for a decent case for my dz but have been unsuccessful as i always hear something bad about it once I hear of a new one.
I also looking for one that will not add too much bulk. Also it has to be very durable, example, is I hear the otterbox breaking often. I would want it to not be problematic to place in my pocket. A benefit would be extra grip though... Also hard plastics I fear will damage my phone....
So since all these issues are listed its probably clear why I am having trouble...
I heard of a phantom z skin. Chromium or something of the. Sort that looks cool. Does that one add good grip to the point where it is unlikely ill drop it. Any suggestions to a skin or case you use would. Be appreciated as long as it meets most of the criteria I listed..
Will reread after I get home on my computer because using my phone for this is somewhat irritating so sorryfor any typos or sounding rude at any point (it is unintentionally done from annoyance lol)

you may not like the style but by far my favorite case is the oem g1 pocket thing.
you can put any larger battery on the g2 and it still fits inside
no reason to put a screen protector on it cuz you cover the screen with the case
wont chip away at the g2 body where the case mounts up to
slides easily into your pocket (unlike any rubber one)
costs 3-4 dollars shipped from china on ebay
personally I see no other options for me. I use the mugen 3600mah battery, i hate cases that chip away at my phone and dont slide into my pocket. I cant stand screen protectors and the price of this case is a joke

I'm using otterbox now ..and it's not easy-breaking-often
What about Zagg or Madskinz? It's not a case but the full body covers do a pretty good job of a case in terms of scratch proof and adds no bulk.
I personally use Bodyguardz (a subsidary of NLU products) and they're pretty good. It takes a few days for the skin to "cure" but after that it's awesome.
The good thing about Bodyguardz though, that makes me come back to them repeatedly is that:
1) they offer lifetime replacement at 5bucks. just send the used skin back to them so they know you're not selling it to someone else
2) They give 20% off everything as long as you sign in your account
3) They have a competitive upgrade program. Check their FB page and they'll send you a code for 30% off their products if you show a pic of your product with someone else's "protection"
4) Ridiculously great customer service. I get replies back pretty fast and they are very courteous. They even take your suggestions sometimes to improve upon their products.
EDIT: I forgot, free shipping over 24.99 bucks.
Very pleased with the otterbox,bulks the phone up a bit,but I like that ,also fits in the Desire HD car holder in my fathers car.

I love my otterbox as well, sure it bulks it a bit but I've dropped it twice on accident on concrete and the otter hasn't broke and protected my phone as expected.

I got the Case Mate Barely There case. Fits nicely and doesn't bulk up the phone too much. Added bonus is a screen protector and microfibre cleaning cloth.
I messed the installation of the included screen protector - dropped it accidentally just before applying and it instantly picked up some dirt on the sticky side I'll have to get another one, or maybe I'll write CaseMate about a replacement.
Two things I noticed:
- dust tends to gather near the edges of the front part around the screen
- I think the phone doesn't close as tightly as without the case, the "hooks" of the case get in the way. The difference is really miniscule, though, so it's not a big deal.
bodyguardz for sure. I personally can't stand added bulk to the G2 because of the hinge etc it seems to stress the phone out imo.
Personally all I've used is InvisibleSHIELD by Zagg.
Absolutely great product and have not had any scratches even when placed in my pocket with my keys. I have the full body installation and I had it installed in store.
Includes free lifetime replacement warranty for the life of your device.
45 day money back guarantee.
Free shipping on over $29.98 orders.
I'd make sure I had someone to install it if I did it again. The installation can be a little tricky.
I currently use the otterbox commuter series on my G2. I have been looking for a belt clip type case. No horizontal cases pls. That would fit my G2 with the otterbox on the phone... Any ideas would be appreciated...
I picked up an oem hard plastic case made by htc for tmobile at the tmo store not long ago. It fits super snug and looks great. Shiny metallic blue black gradient. I'm not too concerned with inordinate wear on mounting points. The ones on here seem quite sturdy as it stands. Not bad for 10$.
Adds a bit of bulk but it is a case. They add bulk and sacrifice themselves so your phone may live. Quit *****ing & get a belt mount soft case if it bugs you that much.
Hey dude above me have you considered checking out one of the numerous online vendors and searching for "vertical leather clip case, htc g2"? Or even getting out of your basement & hitting up a tmobile store?

You can go site :case-mate.com
i think it great
TPU skin for about 2 dollars on ebay is the best case for any phone its a semi stiff rubberized silicone molded to the phones shape that covers front and back and is virtually indestructable. I covered my phone with the zagg invisible shield and then the tpu over that and I've dropped it numerous times on many surfaces without so much as a scratch. The case can be put on and off very quickly and never falls off. Its also improves the grip feel. Did I mention its 2 bucks nothing to lose.

You must not be able to understand English very well, I said I'm using a otterbox on my phone and would like to keep my otterbox but find a vertical belt clip for my phone. So I can attach my phone to the clip, with otterbox. And yes I have searched here and on google and on ebay for this type of case but "NOTHING" Now go troll someplace different, so please shut up and give that hole in your face a chance to heal.
yikes, lots of hostility floating around...
I would recommend getting the invisible shield and then pairing it with a belt pouch.
great combo and a well balanced mix of grip, portability, slim form factor, and protection. So long as you don't drop your phone while you have it out...

Lol! There is one I use with my htc oem rubberized case. Its a speck universal holster. It fits any hardshell case. Have fun... and take some antidepressants for God's sake!
Using an otterbox, thing that bugs me though is how hard it is to remove without breaking the clips (when I need to change batteries as my spare is an extended one).
used to have a zagg invisishield on an older phone, great how it protects the phone but overtime it turned brownish yellow and the corners collect a lot of dirt.
I really want to see an otterbox close up. I'm in the uk and can't find it for much less than £20. Basically I want to know if its worth the cash. Generally I'm quite careful with my phones but I'm into outdoors stuff.
Does anyone know a bricks and mortar shop that stocks them?

Yet another "which case" thread (sorry.) Siedio Active vs. Otterbox Commuter?
I've been using a couple of different TPU cases, but I'm tired of the hit-or-miss quality control on them. They get the job done, but I think it's time for a proper case instead of going the cheap route.
I'm totally torn between the Otterbox Commuter and the Seidio Active cases. Both are dual layer (silicon and hard shell,) and are around the same price. I like the look of the Otterbox case more, but have heard horror stories about the silicon stretching out rather quickly. The Seidio seems to be designed to avoid this problem, but lacks the port covers and sleek look of the Otterbox.
Out of the two, which is better in terms of build quality, durability, button stiffness, and least bulky? Since they offer the same protection, I'm more concerned with those aspects... I just want a quality case that will last a long time without being warrantied due to design flaws (like I've heard about the Otterbox.)
So, what do you suggest?
I've been using the Otterbox Commuter series for almost 5 months now and the silicon is still intack.
I have both and I can honestly say they were good but I got tired of the big bulky phone look. I recently purchased this one and to be honest I love it better then the other two.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005A2UR4W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
As for which of the two I liked better? I like the otterbox better. I used it more. Hope this helps.

Haha, that is actually the case I'm using now. It's okay, but I don't care for the way it is concave along the top edge, and the fit is a little off. I'm now looking for a higher quality case, that will protect my device for as long as I own it. I'm not too concerned with a little bulk, as I've had a case on it since I got it.
Thanks for the replies so far, please keep them coming!
I've been using the Otterbox Commuter case for a while now and I love it. Only complaint is the headphone port cover that doesn't like staying in. Not a big deal though. Love the case

IMO I'd always considered Ottercase as the ultimate protection. So I never really looked into getting one for my devices because I baby my phones . The farthest I've gone with the protection grade is the Seidio Active with kickstand. The protection is great in using it. I come to the realization that this case is ideal for traveling. Case in point, I had the Seidio on when I went to Disneyworld last year and at the Magic Kingdom shows, the crowds usually gather at the cobblestones at the castle. Being I have my, then 2 and a half year old, she was indeed a handful, even though my wife was there with me as well. lol.... Setting up the scene there, after the event, I had my phone on my lap and when the show ended, it was like a mad dash to move and not thinking, I stood up and the phone fell from my lap onto the stones. I freaked lol, but gladly the fall bounced on the corners and nothing was damaged.
Moral of the story, if you are a clutz get the otter box lol, if you are in an office most of the time, then get something a tad thinner and get the Seidio with the holster. That's what I have and I have to say is kinda business friendly in looks as well.
However, I cannot say anything negative about otterbox, because I have never used one on my devices. Heck, my Kindle Fire is also sporting the active case style .
GL in your choice, its really your call in determining which is the "better" case. Kinda like beauty, this would be in the eyes of the beholder in a sense.
EDIT: And don't worry about the lack of holes on the back. It never affected how the phone worked signal and call wise.
Thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate the input!
So far, I'm leaning toward the Otterbox Commuter case, though I won't be ordering until this afternoon... so if anyone has any last minute suggestions (even recommending another case,) I'm all ears. I'd rather not keep ordering cases in search of the right one for me, so any and all advice would be a huge help.
Thanks again!
I have always found Otterbox kinda overrated till i was given one.. and i have to say the build quality is great... My quick review
I have been using this case for almost a week now and i must say at first it felt bulky, and Yes thats coming from someone with a Note 4. Also its hard to use the Hear Rate monitor but it does work, just needs a little playing around with. In all I got use to the size of the case and now don't even notice it. Its got an awesome design, the Protection i want and is in my budget. Cost only $17 USD which is not bad at all. The case also features a kickstand which I think I already broke... its still works though. You can watch my review on it below if you like.
UPDATE: Its been a week and the case has grown on me but now I seen something else that makes me feel like the Tough Armour is not the best there is.

Hi, I just got my Note 4 and am searching for "the best case" Untill now I was thinking about buying the tough armor..... then I saw your post! What does make you feel this wouldn't be the beste case there is. Is there anything bad about it that you have experienced? I haven't seen the case in real yet, since there is no store in Germany where we can buy it.... we can just order it online and the cheapest price is $27,50 (converted). So about $10 more than in the US. Which case would you recommend more than that?
Appreciate any info. Cheers!
its not too bad, but the flush buttons are SUPER annoying
I have this case. I'm still getting used to the buttons, but I love it in general. The only thing missing IMO would be a holster clip that fit this case with the glass facing inwards. I probably wouldn't even use it for the holster part so much as keeping this badboy sealed up tight when I'm not using it.
Spigen kickstands are a joke, cheap pieces of crap that fall off way too easily. Case might be fine but why include a POS flimsy kickstand?
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
I switched from this to the Otterbox Symmetry. The otter just seems more protective for some reason.
I just picked up this case. Like it. Sure seems like it will protect the phone for sure. The flush buttons are good for design, but can be tough to find sometimes if you're not looking too close. Fits nice though. I tried an S View case as well as an LED Flip Wallet and hated flipping the front over and behind to use the phone. Like this much better overall.
