It fits, but the speaker hole isn't centered properly.. I've had one (still do) but I'm using the Sedio Active X which I like better..

or you can get it with the holster which I did

Look at the last pic of this post and you'll see what I'm talking about on the otterbox
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9342504&postcount=12
Besides it covering the speaker, it also covers some of the top of the glass on the phone which the seido doesn't. It's easier to press the volume and power buttons with the seido. And the Seido also provides more grip than the Otterbox. The otterbox can be a little slippery. I think the seido looks way better. Also use XMAS15 if you decide on the seido and you'll get 15% off...

I just purchased an Otterbox Fascinate Impact Series Case case last week and it works great on my Mesmerize.
They have updated the case and now the glass isn't covered on the top of the phone, and the speaker hole is lined up. See photo from the otterbox site below:

I would disagree that it's slippery. It's made of silicone and has bumps in a carbon fiber patteron on the back to prevent it from slipping out of your hand. I have not dropped it once since I've gotten it.
The otterbox case adds a slight weight and bulk to the phone, but I've gotten used to it and I think it's worth it for the protection it provides. I also comes with a screen protector.
I haven't handled an Innocase Active X in person so I can't compare it fairly but I do like my otterbox.
I also had an invisible shield with full coverage but I regretted the extra coverage and would have prefered the standard front and back and ended up removing the shield fully and going with an otterbox case.

Yes, they have fixed the speaker hole issue with the latest revision..
But in the pic you showed the plastic still does cover some of the glass at the top on front (not the actual screen)..
Look at the sedio Active X and you'll see the entire glass is visible which looks better IMO..
And compared to the Seido the Otterbox is very slippery.. The Sedio has finger grips and a lot more silcone, not to mention the plastic hard X shape has a rubbery grip to it as well...
I have the revised Otterbox being shipped to me for free and I will still be using the Seido!!!
edit**
Also the volume and power buttons are easier to press with the Seido.. Not trying to sway anyone's opinion, just making a fair review between the two since I've used them both. I will say Otterbox has outstanding Customer Service and It would probably be more protective in a VERY hard fall, but I think the Seido will hold it's on...
Don't forget about price comparison.
The Seidio case is MSRP: US$29.95 + $5.90 shipping = 38.85
Currently no coupons can be used towards this time..
The Otterbox impact case is: $19.95 + $4.80 = 24.75
Coupon Code tb0111m (Exp 3/31).
You get 10% off at OtterBox.com! (-$2.00)
Free Shipping (U.S. orders only) (-$4.80)
New total: $17.95
I was even considering ordering the seidio case to try it out vs mine, but at $40 including shipping it's too much. I'm happy with my otterbox.
I just got my brother the otterbox commuter case for his mesmerize... It's a very nice case. Found it for around $30 shipped. I can see how someone could find it slippery... it does have a slippery feel to the back of it where there is hard plastic, but I don't think its enough that it would actually slip out of a hand. It definitely seems like it would protect in a fall though.... and it looks great. I've always been more than happy with otterbox... I currently have the otterbox defender case for my hd2, and I will buy an otterbox for whatever my next phone will be.

It definately works... I love mine, but then again I'm biased toward Otterbox cases..
Just in case anybody is looking for the Otterbox Commuter case for your Mesmerize, they sell them at Sam's Club now. They're still obviously only marketed for the Fascinate, but they are cheaper than any other place that I have seen.
I've got two BRAND new otterboxes still in the box they came in and I'm willing to sell them for $20 a peice.. Anyone local want one, let me know...
I just got a defender series case for my messmerize and its great the holster it came with is well built too.ask the holes line up fine and none of the screen is covered.

you aren't by chance the guy that had over 80,000 miles on a busa back in 06 are you?
Had a couple of people lookin gor those cases.. oh well. No that was Joe Frede, last I heard before some stupid chick pulled out in front of him he had 120k miles on it, and the only thing he had done to it was having the valves adjusted twice during the bikes life span. I put about 25k miles on my Busa.

You aren't serious, right? An air bag? Just get an Otterbox and you'll be fine. And if you want something to read a situation and deploy PRIOR to impact, you really should look into having this for a vehicle first. And really, what are you doing that you get into so many wrecks that you're worried about your phone needing it's own airbag.
I don't mean to poke fun, but seriously man, I hope you are really tired or high. When I get to work I'll call professor x to see what we can whip up for you.
From my experience even the thinner/smaller cases help a lot. Even if an airbag was feasible, it'd be overkill lol.

Should get my desire HD tomorrow and get shut of my iphone 4 but I just can't decide on a case for the thing, I'm leaning towards the case mate tough (had one for both my iPhone 4 and Galaxy S) but I find it a bit on the industrial side, the pop looks nicer but to be honest looks twice the size of the tough, I'm even contemplating just using a screen protector plus official HTC slip case.
If anyone has experience with any or all of those cases your input would be appreciated. Thanks.
I heard a lot of people are using otterbox defender and otterbox commuter. Try searching for it, you might like it.
Wouldn't get anything other than an otterbox commuter from now on for my phones, very impressed with this one
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I've bought a few and my favourite is the Case Mate tough. You wont be disappointed with that one. I have recommended it a few times and others have got it and they are very happy. It improves the DHD feel and obviously offers good protection as its a dual case.
I also have the Case mate pop case thats good too. But I would say go for the Case mate Tough.
Heres a video of the Tough

I'm just wondering and not trying to piss anyone off, but... You've got a phone made out of one-piece metal, it's big enough as it is without any extra and it's almost all screen. So the question here remains why you wan't to have a case for it to begin with? I've had mine since launch and all I've got is an invisibleshield screen protector (just to keep excess fingerprints off, which it does very well, and a little scratch protection just in case) and there's not a single scratch or mark in it anywhere. I've drop it a few times and nothing. I'm just saying that all kinds of bumpers etc are an iphone thing and really not needed with the DHD, which just makes it even greater! Just flash it off as it is Just my 2 cents though.
There are quite a few threads about different cases.
I prefer this one which I reviewed in this thread. They are available under a different name for much cheaper on eBay according to other users. I love the look, lines and feel of the phone with it on.

Yeah that's the kind i got for £3 odd off of amazon, it doesn't add much to the size but it keeps it safe when I drop it and provides some protection to the screen as well
I've got the Otterbox Commuter. Feels well protected but the only draw back with this case is that the silicon cover is a dust magnet (like others made of the same material I'd imagine). It can be a little nagging when trying to pull the phone out of your pocket as well. The weight and feel of the phone in your hand is improved in my opinion -- it doesn't feel as delicate and slippery as the phone is without the case. The plastic casing is rugged, but rather smooth. If you have a dry hand, the potential of it slipping from your hands is there. I like the Case-Mate Pop idea of having a grip on the long edge of the phone.
Also, try to find an alternative cloth/material to wipe the screen down prior to applying the screen protector. The one that comes with it pretty dusty and ruined my screen protector. Use a credit card and not the flimsy applicator card.
If I'm not mistaken, the screen protector that comes with the Otterbox looks nearly identical to the ones you can get off dealextreme (specific to the DHD) for less than a couple of bucks. I wouldn't be surprised if they were in fact the same!
I have a few days to return the case. I'm 80% convinced I want to keep it only because the dust accumulation and "pocket stick" is bothering me enough. If it were a ~25$ case, I could live with it... but for $44 CAD, it's a little tough to swallow.
I'm wondering if there are any fashionable aluminum casings for the HTC Desire (I saw one, but looked a little odd with the belt-clip adapter on the back of the case). I'm also wondering if aluminum interferes with the phone's radio.
Ended up going for the pop, think it's the best looking of the lot offering the same level of protection. I will let you know how I get on with it, cheers for the input guys.

The Case mate Tough in particular greatly improves grip and feel of the phone, without it the DHD feels quite slippery and it just offers good protection.
I think increasing the grip is a bit more important (sorry that I'm posting it on this thread). But the way the DHD was designed, it's a bit awkward to hold which kinda bothers me.
so yeah, getting a case = definitely worth it =)

Got my device yesterday and I'm still thinking of getting a leather case to protect my device against slips. But I'm also looking at hard rubber casing.
S-line curve gel case black
i just received S-line curve gel case
http://cgi.ebay.ch/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...ht_1588wt_1139
its a cheap good case, stylish , doesnt add bulk , adds very good grip on that mesh at the phone's sides , buttons r easy to use and they kinda pop out of the case so they r easily reachable (unlike other gel cases).
definitely recommend it as its very cheap and offers good protection and doesnt distorts the shape of the phone much.

Yes. I got it from Yodobashi Camera (a store) in Japan.
Funnily enough, I'm supposed to be reviewing 2 more cases from the same store today, my day-off (if I can wake up). They are both SoftBank branded cases. One is a TPU case and is almost the same but is different, and one is a leather one (which to be honest I don't like).

Picked up a TPU case from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054HA45A
It's pretty much the bomb if you are looking for a TPU case. Cutouts for surround sound mic holes on back and all of the cutouts line up near perfect.
It fits the phone perfectly. I recommend. It's only 8 bucks and they have a few different colors. I got the gloss black. Free shipping if you are a prime member like me.
Sorry, there is dust all over my phone in these pics. It's not sparkly. The case is super rigid TPU. It's not the dust/lint attracting silicon BS you get at T Mobile. I was in a dusty environment when taking the pics.

As I stated in the cases thread, I also own this very nice case.
I also mentioned the downsides it has for me so far, which are the pretty hard to use volume rocker and hard to reach power button. Volume rocker might be due to the way I used to press it on my DHD, there seems to be a position when it actually works pretty easy. But the power button will always be a pain.
Yet, it's actually a failure of HTC, the power button on the side is the only thing I like about the SGS2 which I would LOVE to see on a future HTC phone.

I didn't see your post. I am having no issues with the volume rocker, but I really don't use it much I guess. I never listen to music on my phone.
I would love for this phone to have the power button on the side. All of these Android phone manufacturers should follow Samsung's lead and put them on the side. Everyone is putting them at the top these days! It's pretty awkward pushing a button on the top to lock it every time you put it down.
Loving this case!

Its funny you all complain about the Volume on the top. I remember when the Galaxy first came out there was A LOT of complaints about the power button being on the side. I dont mind the where the power button is on my Galaxy or Sensation... Shrugs.
I do have a question tho. The 2 holes on either side of the camera and the 2 holes near the bottom, what are they for? The TPU case i bought from Amzer (SP?) dont have those holes free. I wonder if they will cause a problem.
Google told the holes are for the antenna connectors.. So it shouldn't be a problem when it's covered.

Hard shell is never my thing.. I don't like silicon cases because of the friction and lint accumulation. Just ordered it on Amazon, I will wait and see if I can live with the added thickness.
I've gone naked for the past few days, I've never used any cases with my blackberry or previous HTC phones. I've never tried TPU cases before, I guess it doesn't hurt to try for 8 bucks.

It adds almost no thickness to the phone. My brother asked me why I didn't have a case when he was playing with it today.
Someone gave this a one star review on Amazon because the volume rocker is harder to press. It's not that hard. Plus you could easily get an exacto knife and cut it out yourself. You will like this case dude.

Yeah, you won't regret it
You won't notice the extra thickness in width, maybe in height, but it doesn't really matter there.
I picked one up before getting the phone. Fits nicely, you can barely notice the thickness. I just wish they had clear one instead of the smoked one that I've got.

Just got it and put it on this morning.
Gotta say I love the fit and finish. Everything fits perfectly without being too tight or lose. It definitely does a great job of preventing scratches or bumps. Now I could toss and slide the phone all I want without worrying scratching the back. The case also doesn't pick up too much pocket lint like silicon cases, while adding friction while holding the phone and minimize incidental drops.
Minor negative is that the power button and volume rocker is noticeably harder to control/press than before without using the case. The added thickness does not subtract from the user experience, but it does add ever so slightly to the bulk.
Then again, which case doesn't have those cons? For 8 bucks, it is a great case. I'll keep using it for now till I find myself using the volume rocker more frequently, which I do use quite often for music and in-call volume adjustments.
If only it wasn't so shiny
I purchased this case as well, it is absolutely fantastic. It fits so perfectly, and I can't believe the price. I was worried I wouldn't like the shine, and that it would be loose, but I've gotten used to it, and it fits tight to the phone. Definitely one of the best cases I have ever owned for any device.
I got mine off Amazon, from TPU Case. Very nice black, I can't complain. I always get TPU cases for my phones but I never got black. They sell the exact same ones on eBay for $8.95 except the shipping is free.
I used the camera on my camcorder, very bad quality but hopefully you can see the holes and what not.
Just got the all black one today, I must say it is a perfect fit, never had a case that fitted this well. No bulk at all, feels just as slim.
I purchased this on Amazon last week. Note it was $7.98 and now it's $8.90. Crazy the price went up, haha!
Here's my review:
I've never used a product before made out of "Durable Flexible TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)" but it seems to do the job quite well. It's an extremely hard durable plastic with just a tiny bit of flex so you can get the case on the phone. (A word of warning: you won't be taking this case off too often because it's really difficult to do so! Once it's on, it's meant to stay!)
As for protecting the phone, it seems like it will do the job. It's sealed *extremely* tight, so hopefully it won't let dust/lint in there like those cheap rubber cases do.
It looks great too, since it's a shiny/glossy black color. That means it's also easy to slip in and out of a pocket, unlike the cheap rubber cases that will stick to the inside of your pocket.
The only bad thing I can see is that it gets kind of greasy easily, even if you wash your hands often. And over time, scratches might show easily as well. (I'll update the review if the case gets scratched or something in the future, but so far so good.)
Overall though, for the price (which was actually a tiny bit lower last week when I bought it) I am extremely satisfied with this case. I want maximum protection and Otterbox is currently refusing to put out a case for the Sensation (not to mention their cases are expensive too). So in the mean time, this TPU case seems to be handling the job quite well. Hopefully my phone remains in perfect condition for the next year so I can resell it easily.
I would highly recommend this case to other Sensation owners, especially for the price, and even more so if you are an Amazon Prime member for the free shipping. It is a pretty great product and I would certainly consider purchasing their cases for my future phone(s).

Otterbox Commuter Series Case for Motorola Photon Q
I've had this case of about a week now. It's definitely a very solid, well built case. I feel confident that my phone will be protected if I happen to drop it, and the case won't shatter in the process (I've had this happen before). My only real complaint is that the gripping surface on the outside of the case feels almost slippery. It's just plastic, no coating to provide a better grip surface, the back is nicely grooved though to provide some grip, and the rest of it does have some texture so it's definitely not a deal breaker.
The screen protector that comes with it is only so so. I'd recommend picking up a Skinomi or Phantom Skinz screen protector when they're finally released.
Overall I would definitely recommend this case, and I would buy it again if I had to.

Thank you for this, I've been eyeballing that case. Though, if the case lacks grip it won't work for me. Here's holding out for a kickstand case!
Body Glove case

Awesome! Let me know how it turns out, I might be able to forgive how ugly that thing is if there's a decent kickstand and some grip on the back.
At work we offer the otterbox for staff who get the iphone. Those of us with android have usually been left to fend for ourselves for accessories. The phone stays in my pocket when not in use and I'm not clumsy so I don't really think I need a case for it.
In regards to screen protectors, there were unconfirmed reports that the photon q has gorilla glass, has anyone found any validity to that?
My evo shift did have gorilla glass and it never scratched up on me.

Well I got it and not much to say except it has a kickstand It wasn't as ugly as the pic but its slicker than owl snot
Not sure what Body Glove was thinking. I could get the grip tape out and mod it a little...maybe make it kind of Ironman-ish LOL
But I might return it and stick to the OtterBox one, I have it as well and it's a good one.
So my 2 cents is; if you haven't bought one yet get the Otterbox for sure. Or you could wait, I am sure more styles are on the way.
Thanks for the review. Mine comes in later this afternoon.

IIRC it does have some sort of "nano coating" that makes it very hard to scratch. But my experience has been that no matter how hard it is to scratch I eventually will, so I always get a nice screen protector. I normally stick with Phantom Skinz, they've always done an excellent job of protecting my screen.
Just got the commuter in black and loving it so far! Feels good and has protection all over phone! Something other case I don't see do. For some reason I hate those cases for qwerty phones that has opening and not solid cover pieces for the whole phone

I got the case as well, and the only thing I don't like about it is the screen protector - it doesn't seem like it was designed to fit the screen, at all!?!
I guess I'll get another screen protector from another company. The case itself is good, my only other gripe would be it needs to be grippy on the back - the hard plastic just causes the phone to slide everywhere!!

Yes the screen protector sucks. I use it now til I find a better replacement but I notice otterbox is doing that now with screen protector in the commuter series. I guess to push people into the defender? But since we know they probably not going to make a defender model for the q the screen protector should be better!!! Girl I work with has the white one and i may trade for the white. But hers is already dirty and after awhile its gonna look like crap. Also seems like the white one uses a different kind of finish. Seems thick with case on but next to a epic is was about the same size

I already used the otterbox but when I would like to "release" it from my photon q, its really hard to dismantle the case on the lower part (keyboard part), cause there is no "grip" for our finger..any suggestion?

+1. Not a big fan of the play either, because it does rub on that shiny edge... But oh well. I doubt a new case would solve it.
I used to have a piece of paper folded in my old phone and case so it wouldnt budge.
anyone know if this case is compatible with the vehicle dock? (the otterbox for the Photon 4G blocked the data connector to the vehicle dock.)

No sadly it is not compatible unless you cut off the rubber flap that blocks the ports... if manage to do that then it is still a pain to fit in the dock even with the adapter plate removed... i take it out of the case when it is docked

2 questions if you don't mind---reviews indicated that the clip fails easily and that the case is bulky, can you comment on either of those?
I've only had it for a week so I can't say anything about its durability; seems solid enough initially, and I don't see any indication of incipient failure so far. (Besides, for $5, if it falls apart after six months, I figure I will have gotten my money's worth! )
As for the size, it's no bigger -- in relation to the phone -- than any other case of its type. I.e., it's about 1 cm longer than the phone and maybe 3 mm wider. It is, of course, a good deal thicker than the phone, since you have three layers of case -- back, front, and flap, each of which adds a couple of mm; maybe that's what that reviewer was referring to? Anyhow, I certainly don't find it to be unreasonably bulky, and I don't see how it could be much smaller and still fit and protect the phone.

This is what I got. I had something like this for an iPhone for 3 years and it still has a lot of life left in it. I think it should fit the phone even with a slim Rearth Ringke case.
I too must use a holster type case, I don't like carrying the phone in my pocket.

That holster is great for about 6 months, but then it starts to break down. Its a generic holster that has been sold forever. I used it with my Galaxy Nexus for months and with my previous phone for about a year before that. The elastic tore away from the leather on one side after 6ish months which I sewed back together terribly and the leather began to peal a little bit around the edges.
That said, I have never had a holster do much better than this. 6 months seems to be the limit for me before it starts really going downhill. This holster was great during its functional life. And its certainly cheap enough to just buy 2 a year.
Edit: Oh yea, the most annoying thing by FAR about this holster is that the magnets come loose in the flap, which at first just means 1 magnet sticks and its very loosely kept closed, but then after that other magnet slips there is nothing to really keep it closed before you shove a pin or knife through the leather to force the magnets back into proper position.
I know I sound harsh on this holster, but its not awful. Reading about it I just ordered another one from Hong Kong for $2.88. Will be here sometime next year probably.
Seidio needs to come out with a spring-loaded holster. I have one for my Evo 3d (waiting on Nexus 4 shipment...) and it's been great. Easily one of the best investments I made for my phone - including the extended battery beast and case.

Seidio IS coming out with spring-loaded holster for use with Active or Surface cases. They are all in production now, but links are up on their website.

Got both the holster and the slim Rearth case. I like them both very much.
The Rearth is really slim and it seems very well made (made in Korea, not China, for a change). Not sure it adds any impact protection but that's fine, it will at least protect the back from scratches.
The holster seems decent too, well made, and it fits the phone well even with the slim Rearth case on the phone.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the combo. How's this for a mini-review?
Best One!

If anybody else is interested in this, I received the holster and I'd give it an "okay" rating. As the Amazon reviews warned it is a bit too big. I could probably fit two N4s in there side by side. I am looking in to a Ringke case as well so maybe by the time I add that on there won't be so much space inside. I may try the holster sirxdroid recommended.

Still happy with mine. It's a bit tight with the Ringke case, but not bad at all and it seems to "give" some so it will get better with use.

Hmm, I'm wondering if you got the same case I did; sometimes these generics have multiple suppliers and different lots can be variable. I definitely couldn't fit two N4s into my holster -- it's not a tight squeeze (I don't have to push the phone in), but the N4 is certainly not rattling around in it. Here's a photo of what my phone looks like inside the case. I think it's just about right for ease of access while not being overly roomy.

Yeah I think mine is different than that, the stitching doesn't look the same and my phone isn't in there nearly as snug.
As a side note I also bought the holster recommended by sirxdroid. I like it much better, the fit is perfect.
However....
It has the most unfortunate side-effect of either unexpectedly rebooting or shutting down my phone. I don't know what causes this, if the buttons are somehow getting mashed just right or if maybe the magnet has an effect on the phone. So sadly this case is unusable and I'm now back to Big Bertha.

That is strange, the case is not rebooting my N4, though the phone itself does reboot once in a while for me too but I suspect it's related to bluetooth use and it has nothing to do with the case. Not sure whether you use bluetooth or not, it may be worth keeping it completely off for a while and see if the phone still reboots.
I also have the Rearth case on my phone which makes the buttons a bit harder to press, so maybe that helps the holster not press on the phone buttons inadvertently.
this looks intersting

Came in today ... Initial impression: really liking it! Low profile, little to no bulk added, fits nice and snug and adds a great grip! Power and volume buttons still easily identifiable and responsive ... Seems like it'll provide decent protection, but hopefully I won't have to test that aspect of the case [emoji12]
Will update as I get more time with it, but seems like it'll be worth the 12/13 bucks!

It's not as soft and sticky as some other TPU cases I've used. It's a bit more rigid than your typical TPU and not as "sticky" ... slides in/out of my pocket and case easily.

I received my i-Blason in the mail today. I've been using the very case you linked. The i-Blason one is without a doubt easier to hold. It provides so much more grip compared to the plastic snap-on case. The snap-on case does seem to provide a slightly larger protective lip on the front of the case, so the screen won't touch a flat surface when face down.
While I've only had the i-Blason for a few hours, so far it seems like a great deal. Especially for those that want to show off their backside. (Pun intended) The snap-on case is still another great deal and despite it's defects I still like it, I already miss the feeling of the ridges on the power button. I think everyone should keep in mind that both cases seem to be minimalists cases, in which they will protect the phone from simple scratches, bumps, and minor drops.
Cool, thanks for the info. I just ordered the i-Blason a couple of hours ago.

So I have to say I am a little less enthusiastic about this case thank I hoped I would be. I already submitted a return request through Amazon. I find that the edges of the case are not well done, they are squishy and don't tightly hold to the phone. I guess I am spoiled by the Incipio Octane, which the phone "snaps" into and literally fits perfectly, no movement, no squishy.

I skipped every other case and ordered a Incipio Octane Frost last week. I could already tell from the increased price and reviews of each product that there was a good quality difference there. Though my Moto X is not here yet the case came in and it is top notch. I would expect most cases of quality be around $20 and not less.
That i-Blason is so clear it looks like it can get beat up real quick. Even though it is less visible, I prefer frosted.

I just got my iBlaison clear case: it's OK. The cut-out on the back is off-center. I hope this doesn't stain as badly as my G3's, where the case picked up dark smudges around every corner and edge of the case. And, the stains doesn't come off since I tried cleaning it with soap and water.
Damn. Got an email from amazon saying mine shipped today but not due til the 20-22. WTF? I ordered 2 weeks ago as preorder. Said they would be in stock on the 15th, so it is shipped early, but damn. Two weeks to get it after shipping?

I ordered this today as well. I like what I'm hearing in this thread. I'll get mine on Wednesday. This seems pretty good until a slightly better clear case comes along. I dig Spigen cases, so hopefully they'll make one for this phone.

That's what happened to me. I waited two weeks for the case and it shipped from (I think) China because the shipper was DHL International.
Just got mine. It's a decent case, but not perfect. Not sure what to expect for cost. I have rubber back and I feel safer now with case on grip wise. MUCH easier to handle 1 handed. I have big hands and was never concerned about size of phone. I don't have 100% fit around buttons or directly across. Bottom half fits better. My phone has tendency to run warm. Can feel warmth thru case. Current temp 105. I have white front /back, so I'm definitely grateful to have something on this versus bumper. I usually never use a case, but felt prudent to do so with this phone. I think people will be okay with this case. Not perfect, but it doesn't suck either.

I agree with above. It's not air cushioned like some Spigen clear cases are, but it's actually more supple and durable than I thought it might be. I ordered the Case Mate Naked Tough case today, and this should do fine until that comes.
