Cheap case for G2 - G2 and Desire Z Accessories

So I need help deciding on a case for my G2. I've seen many, but not in person. I'd like it to be cheaper end as well. I've looked at Otterbox's they seem sweet, but just not for me. I also wanted to get your guy opinions on this because I would like it to be as thin as possible when on my G2. Preferably Black or Clear. But if there is one that is like Carbon fiber feeling, Like Chromatics, I'd love to see it.
Please recommend one

There is plenty of info and pics you are looking for in this section of this forum. You just have to kinda search for it heh.
I personally have tried this Resin dark transparant and normal transparant

http://img.cbcdn.net/products/113126/adapt-resin-case-transparant-h.jpg
And altho they are thin and goodlooking it's not what I was looking for.
I also don't really like the fact that it clips around your phone. You can see it on the second picture. It is a small clip that holds the case to the phone parts. And you wouldnt really notice the tiny small gap between the top and keyboard part of the phone but it does and to me it just doesnt feel fine. It annoys me
What I personally am going for is the chromatics carbon fiber skin and a leather case. The carbon skin is just for style and protects it from scratches and the leather case is for overall protection (I hope).
Good luck with your choice! If my choice was to be a hard case I would definately pick the Otterbox. It just looks awesome and is known for good protection. Getting a cheap case is nice but also think about your phone. If u have to pay a little more for better protection, why not right. Longterm wise it's just better imo.

I personally ordered the purple case from the ebay seller "hi-boao", if you go to their shop and search HTC Desire Z you can find their cases. (Sorry just joined, can't post links ^-^;; )
I haven't received it yet, so I can't tell you how good they are, but I like the look of the cases, they're cheap, and come with a screen protector.
Goodluck finding one to your liking, I suggest looking around ebay, there's quite a few on there on the lower price range

Have the same kind of case for my G2 but clear smoke. Gives it a nice tint. Only cost $3.27
Phone: T-Mobile G2/Vision Rooted/GFree'd
Rom: Latest Cyanogen
Recovery: CWM waiting for Amon_RA

Well the resin looks ok. The stuff you described drives me away from it, as you stated xD I have been active around the accessories forum lately. And I just didn't see any cases I thought fit my requirements. The otterbox just seems a tad bit bulky and 35$ sum dollars is a lot to pay for a case. I'll probably scramble around some more. I mean chromatics is sweet... I just wish it was a case. Does otterbox or anycompany make cases that have that carbon fiber feek?

Well, i have seen some carbon fiber cases on ebay, for desire z. Cant find them right now..ill try it another time today.

Did you look at the case in the "Nice inexpensive G2 case" thread? It's black, fairly thin, and has a rubberized feel to it. Plus, it's only a couple of bucks so not a big loss if you end up not liking it...

I googled it real quick and found some hits here for carbon cases.

I know there are cheaper ones on ebay. It's just that I dont like searching stuff on ebay hehe.

Yeah I did check the cheap case thread too. Didn't look to get my taste. The wirelessplayground case looks pretty sweet. I'm not a fan of leather so that was going to work out. I wish the third on was a different carbon fiber though I think I may go with the clear kickstand case I saw. Is that thin?

For those of you who like the grip of a "skin" but a little bit of hard case too
I just picked two of these up on Ebay for $8.99 shipped. The only way I can describe them is a silicone skin/hard case hybrid.
It's basically a silicone case with a hard cover that holds the silicone case on a bit better plus gives a little bit o' hard cover type protection. Every silicone case i've had in the past liked to slip off pretty easily - this doesn't feel like it's going anywhere anytime soon!
The ones I got were the lime green and carbon fiber variants, but they can be also had in pink, blue or black. I thought the lime green with black screamed Android!
If nothing else, they are definitely unique!
Ebay seller's name is "moderntechs" . Search with keywords on Ebay "Nexus Hard Silicone" and you'll pull them right up!
wow that's pretty awesome. I know there was a company that made something similar for iPhones, and some people here were emailing them to petition for a N1 model. I have to say this probably does exactly the same thing for much, much cheaper.
Nice find!
EDIT: does this case make your phone really hot when there is heavy data usage?
I think I worded that poorly.. $8.99 EACH shipped, but still, not a bad deal.
do you have an invisible skin or best skin ever? I have a best skin ever and have found that a couple(admittedly cheap) hard snap on cases I've purchased wouldn't close completely due to this skin, but it sounds like these are a bit different?
I have no additional skin but I have no doubts this would fit with one of those.
I believe it's a knock-off for Casemate tough hybrid
doesn't look the same but idea is identical

that'd be nice. I look forward to it
how fast does this guy ship?
just bought one myself.
I ordered both of mine on a Monday and they arrived on Friday. That's about normal for first class mail between California and Florida though.
I say invest in a good case. Get Seidio Innocase II. Feels very good in the hand. All worth the money.
I got my case on Monday. I can do a video review as well if anyone likes..
Quick take: It has a real solid feel, looks pretty cool, and even my fashion conscious girlfriend agrees. There were a few *small* nitpicks with the fit that I had that are hard to explain in typing, but it was definitely worth the 8 bucks. Again, it feels considerably solid and I like that it works with a bestskinever where a traditional hard case does not.
Deal breaker: It's so solid, that's kind of a pain to take off of the phone. I have a desktop dock that I use every night and live with the fact that I just have to remove the standard gelli type soft cases, which is easy to do. So, for that reason I probably won't be using it much, but if I didn't use a dock, I'd use this case 24/7
I have to agree 100% - very solid, especially for the price!
I looked at the MyBat website and I see that they make similar cases for other phones, so I've been sending any admirers looking to see if they can find one for their phones.
I came across a bunch of other models for other phones on Amazon by searching for MyBat and Hybrid.
I didn't get around to making a video review, but damn this case is nice. Very solid, and no obnoxious logos *cough* Case Mate *cough*
Well worth the money, great fit. Only issue I had was with my screen protector, I didn't have it applied perfectly center, so the edge of the case would cause the screen protector to lift and bubble. I have since reapplied a new one, and all is golden!

Same thoughts exactly. Definitely worth the money, does the same job that a 30 dollar case does, at 8 bucks.

Best Case Out There

So I have this crappy Amazon $4 case, from eforcity crap.
Anyways, dropped it today in a urinal at school (whoops), and the case broke into the two pieces that it was. Pretty crappy case obviously.
Anyways, I have some money, want to get a better case since I'll have this phone for two years and so.
Case Mate Pop appeals to me, but I can't find any good comments here.
Case Mate Tough appeals too, but Pop is cooler.
Otterbox Defender is okay, too fat for my tastes.
Any other ideas? What are you using?
I'm using the Case Mate Barely There Case. i dont like bulk, and it protects my phone enough without sacrificing sexiness
I bought an Otterbox Commuter and like it a lot. It doesn't add a whole lot of bulk and feels really sturdy. Haven't dropped the phone yet, but sure this case would hold up if I did.

Ewwww? Inside it? Anyway....
For protection: http://www.otterbox.com/htc-inspire-4g-cases/htc-inspire-4g-cases,default,sc.html
I wont buy a phone unless Otterboxes are available. Period. I always keep multiple cases, and this is what I buy for protection.
For the "barely there" factor: http://www.myincipio.com/HTC-Inspir...nspire-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
These are very nice and extremely thin, but offer no protection for drops and bumps, besides scratching from in-out of pocket, etc.
These are better than the Caes-Mate barely there (imo). Nicer texture and quality.
You already know about the POP, so I wont go into depth there, but I prefer this to the POP: http://www.speckproducts.com/smart-phone-cases/htc-inspire-cases.html
They look way better to me (but scratch easy, but so would the POP) and come in a variety of colors. I have an Atrix, and they only make black which makes me so jealous of you guys . These offer a nice combo of the "Style" "Protection" and "Slimness".
I would go with this if you don't like the Otterbox, but want protection.
You have this for a nice protective silicone case: http://tridentcases.com/product_57_73.html
They are a new Otterbox-like brand but offer a variety of colors for EVERY phone.
Most comparable to a Feather or Barely there: http://www.rearthusa.com/HTC-Inspire-4G_p_155.html
They are brand new and i'm sure if you asked, they would send you a free one in turn for a review. I love the combo of TPU and silicone with this case. I'm currently using it as my main for my Atrix (in true blue). It doesn't offer much protection, but looks great and doesn't attract lint like the Trident case would or other Silicone cases.
Lastly: http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/5493.htm
Just look through the 3 options they offer. One for protection, one for a combo of protection and style and one for just the thin factor. Seidio has great cases. I'd go with the Active Combo if you like the POP case
I don't care much for Case-Mates hard cases. They aren't as nice as other options. I would buy a CandyShell or Active Combo over the POP, but that's just me
The rest of case-mate's offerings: http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Inspire-4G-Cases/HTC-Inspire-4G-Cases.asp
Good luck with your decision. Hope I helped.
I have a pop and tough. Thought the tough is slimmer, it offers less protection. The hard surface does not wrap around the corner completley. Regardless, I like the tough. I just wish they made the outer shell in other colors...this leads to the pop case...
The pop case comes in different colors. This is highly appealing to me. The phone now stands out as I have the light blue pop case. No more trying to find the darn phone. With a black case it just seems to blend in almost camouflaged. The pop case is also probably 1mm thicker that the tough.
Currently I have the tough case on the phone...the pop case watching, and the seidio active/holster combo on the way.
The speck candyshells they sell at ATT store are really nice. I'm using one and it makes the phone feel very secure.

I have always used the Otterbox Defender series cases with my phones as they are the toughest most rugged out there. Otterbox just recently updated the Defender for the Inspire (previously they said it would only work for the Desire but made some modifications to it for the Inspire - their words not mine!).
Good luck!

So I have spent literally a month searching for a nice case for the Inspire 4G, I'm so jealous of the iPhone having all the cool looking cases, there's barely any for any other phone...The barely there ones are nice, but tha'ts about it.
Then I stumbled upon this one:
http://www.accstation.com/chtcdesisc06.html
I ordered it right away, loved the design, looks cool, translucent (they offer black too!) and was thrilled when I got it. It's great quality, not overly thick or bulky, the sides have a grip you have to try for yourself, and the cutouts are 99% acurate- covers the camera lens perfectly...the only thing that is a little tough to reach is the unlock/power button, but that's the phones fault- it is too recessed. The feel of it is great, and looks sharp! Best of all it's only $6.99 Definitely recommend it.

I am using the Ringke Rearth and I am pretty happy with it. The texture is different than any other "soft" case I have felt before. Not sticky like silicone, or smooth like plastic. I do think it has stretched out a bit over time, but its tough to say..
Love the speck case, they just came out with a white one that looks sick, full shock protection, protects the camera, topped off with a zagg screen protector and this thing is a tank

My case recommendation

I just reviewed 3 Sensation 4G cases on my website. This is the one I liked best
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-SENSATION-SKIN-CASE-QUBITS-BRANDED/dp/B005A2UR4W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315591998&sr=8-1
The first and best case is the gel skin solid black made by Quibits. It is a black case that attempts to keep the Sensation’s style by having a solid black stripe in the middle. It feels great in my hands with a solid feel that will not slip from anyone’s fingers. The case also covers a bit of the front for when you drop your phone face first. It is a made of flexible plastic, called TPU, but when put on the android smartphone it becomes quite solid. The included microfiber cloth is a bit cheap but for 7 bucks this case is a steal.
I hope that helps! For those who want to check out my article

Nice reviews. These really help people that are like me and are totally anal about buying stuff and want to make sure they are getting a good product. I already have the Yoobao TPU case shipping on its way right now, but if I don't like it I'll definitely give the Qubits case a try since most people seem to like it.

Looks like a wicker basket to me. But each his/her/it own.

What do you guys think about these kind of gel cases

Questions in the title, here are the cases: http://www.ebay.com/itm/5x-Soft-Cry...583540?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35b3aad334. They look pretty good and the seller has got very good feedback, what do you guys think? I mean, there isn't that much you could do wrong with gel cases (I mean in terms of manufacturing ...), right? So has anyone tried these out or any similar ones and wants to share his thoughts?
Thanks in advance
I bought one just like theese cases, but never delivered to me.
The 'soft crystal', or TPU, cases are great. I usually buy mine from amazon or ebay. Optimus V and S cases are the same. Make sure that you get one that has all the proper cut-outs (the ebay link above doesn't have the hole for the speaker next to the camera).
this is better
AMZER TPU
I have those. Cheap and sturdy. Good everyday use. I also use a leather case whenever I'm in the office.
They look cool, i own one ;D

I have heard issues about some of these gel cases leaving residue on the phone and rubbing the paint off. Some of these issues have been brought up in other threads so just make sure you do your research before you select your case!
They look kinda cheap imo...
I'm sure they work well.
5 for $8? must be pretty cheap.
My boyfriend had a tpu case for his v. I loved it compared to my silicone case. It's alot sturdier than silicone, mine ripped easy. He had a problem with the phone overheating while the case was on though, but he worked outside and I think that was the main issue there. It's a great alternative to silicone and plastic cases which tear or break easily.

I have a robber one and works just fine... quite ugly tough
I have the same case and it's only OK...makes the phone thick and it's not very soft.
And dang, I paid 3.50$ for it
Also if you keep the phone in your pocket, while taking it out the case usually slips off and over time loses shape
try Amazer

But not as good as Amzer though.
thumbs up
these are good but i use amzer

Battery/back covers?

Does anyone know of anywhere to buy battery/back covers for our phones besides the factory white/black?
I'm not looking for a case, I don't want nor care for a case, I like to feel and see my phone, but I have not been able to find any battery/back covers. I'd love to get a carbon fiber battery/back cover and have the look of like the razor. I think it looks fantastic.
Only places I've tried or know to search on is eBay or Amazon.
I found these but they are for the i9100, not sure if it fits our phone. I only saw white/black specifically for our phone.

The the i9100 ones won't work, the camera opening is completely different. Those are like a square, the skyrocket is a vertical rectangle shape. Thanks for the idea though.
Have you thought about a skin instead of a whole new battery door?
There is a carbon fiber one here: http://www.skinomi.com/sk9778-samsung-galaxy-s2-skyrocket-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html
Brad, you freaking rock! That is a great alternative. And achieves what I desire. Thank you sir
No prob :good:
If you get it.. come back and bump this thread to let ppl know how it works. Not like our accessories thread is poppin' anyways.
Skinomi isn't the only option, albeit they are a good one.. I remember seeing more, i'll just have to take a bit more time & look.
A couple more:
http://www.bodyguardz.com/armor-carbon-fiber-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket.html
I know people that swear by ghost-armor:
http://www.ghost-armor.com/Samsung/718.html (price is a little higher.. but more options -- like gunmetal)
Which of those brands would you recommend?
As far as color I'm kind of digging the red carbon fiber. Black would look much cleaner though.
I've only ever used the clear skins.. Tried a bodyguardz and a skinomi. They were both about the same.. Mind you, this was for the clear skins.
The thickness/feel/design for the skins your looking for may be different.
With skins, you need to take care of them.. Its sooooo easy to have a corner lift when putting it in your pocket and lint gets stuck behind it.
Check out the warranty/return info.. then try them out. If they have a good return policy, you could simply get another, or get your $ back if you dont like it.
If you go that route, make sure not to discard or lose any pieces because they will want all of them back if you return or trade it in.
Good Luck!
I've got a clear ghost-armor full body on my sr and love it but when I was at the kiosk the kid working it had the black carbon fiber on his and it looked pretty nice. I use a case as well most of the time and the carbon fiber is a little thicker so couldn't use it on mine but I did like it. They also had 1 in the kiosk that had white and black carbon fiber and that looked pretty nice too... Don't know about skinomi or the other brand so can't really say anything about them but ghost armor is a pretty good brand and if there's any problems with the skin they'll replace for free...

There is a matte or gloss choice.

Hey guys thanks for all your links and effort to help, I cannot for the life of me decide on which company to buy from. Some one just pick for me already! Lol
I've also used Phantom Skinz on my T-Mobile G2 in Carbon Fiber, loved it!

It feels thicker than a typical film. When you put it on, you will definitely notice it's there, as the film is alittle thick (which i think is a good thing) and has a rugged texture. Once all the pieces are on, it almost feels like you have a super thin case. Installation wasn't too difficult, and it even came w/ a screen protector (though I haven't put that one on yet since I already have one).
