Full review coming soon of HTC vs TMo vs Otterbox cases - G2 and Desire Z Accessories

There's been a lot of posts about cases lately and I'm obsessive over having the best suited case for my phones. As of last night I now have all the big name cases. The OEM "hard shell" case made by HTC, the hard rubberized one sold by T-Mobile, as well as the Otterbox. I'm working on a full review with pics in between my studying and classes so I'll try to have it up by late tonight or tomorrow at the latest.
I have to say I'm not FULLY satisfied with any of them, as they each definitely have flaws, but at least people will be able to see which one best suits their needs.

Sweet man! I've got the otterbox and the tmo hard rubber case, and i actually use the otterbox for the back and the rubber for the front. I love it. I'm interested to see what you do.

Just ordered the Otterbox since the HTC OEM snap on case isn't available anywhere!

If you have a rubberized one, it'll fit great.
And btw, what does OEM stand for? Haha

OEM is original equipment manufacturer, just means its an actual HTC product. Yea, right now I'm using the HTC front but I don't like how the camera button isn't covered. The tmo rubber one is just too sticky in my pockets and blocks both the top of the keyboard and the left side of the screen when trying to drag across home screens.

does anyone know if they all have the circle pattern? i would love to order the smoke grey one and id prefer if it was just smoked, no pattern. thanks!
I've always loved Epik Cases, ever since I got one for my Bold 9700 way back then. What I love about them is that they are like hard plastic.. but not really. And it doesn't get stuck inside your pocket when trying to get it out (like silicone cases).
I ordered one for the Atrix (last week) and had it for about 2 days but returned the ****rix back for the Inspire 4G.
I now have an extra ****rix case for no use but I just finished ordering one for the Inspire 4G
Are these similar to the Speck Candy Shells?

Neoprene Pouch/Sleeve for G2X?

Hey guys, figured id ask here since XDA rocks and im having no luck looking for it thru Google.....basically im looking for a Neoprene Pouch like the one given with the Tmobile G1, and the Nexus One but one that actually fits the G2X! If u guys know of one, please let me know, if not, thanks for taking the time to read this post! Thanks!
I'm looking for one myself since I shelved the Nexus One for now. Not digging any case or skinz on the market. The pouch work good since it just slides in your pocket and prevent any dust/lint from entering the phone.

That looks like the Nexus One pouch.
I do use my Nexus One pouch with my G2X. It stretches it just a little bit but not worryingly so.

Do us a solid, and let us know how it fits!
Please!
I ordered the one from eBay as well.
It fits ... ok. Not as tight as I'd like it but I'd not call it loose either. Cheaply constructed though. I've had it about two weeks now and the stitching is already coming undone. I'd like to find a higher quality neoprene sleeve.
Would you be willing to post a few pictures?
Thanks!
i never received any pouch with my g1? i'm still using the same exact pouch i got with my sidekick 2 six years ago
some more pics would be great!
Here is a pic, it fits very snug...I was worried about it not fitting but that's not the case! My only gripe is the material is not near the same as the nexus ones/g1 but it does the trick and is sexy!
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Sorry, I don't have another camera handy to take pics w/the phone in. This at least should give you an idea of the stitching.
Thanks for the pictures!
So...
All in all... Is it worth 3 bucks... ha?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I've had the same one for months. Definitely worth it.
Heh, yeah, it's worth $3. Particularly since there really isn't anything else available.

Need a new case

I bought an otter box case for my Atrix 4g, then it went to crap town on me so I had it replaced with an Atrix 2. Now I need to know if any of you know of a case that covers the ports for USB and HDMI on the phone this is important to me being I am a baker and flour gets inside this ports all the time. No place is safe from my phone at work. I don't want to spend a lot of money here, other wise I would just get another otter box. My upgrade is available in February and don't want a huge investment being that I am getting a new phone then. I searched and can't tell really about the port coverings on the cases so thought I would ask for some help. Suggestions would be awesome.
AT&T still has the white otterbox commuter case for $5 on the website. I got one and really like it.

Motorola A2 without a case?

Does anyone carry their Atrix 2 without a case? I have the Otterbox, and I do like it, but it bring so much bulk to it and makes it hard to do something as simple as putting it in my pocket etc...I've been going back and forth.
I don't have any case for my atrix simply cause i can't find one and the otterbox one will cost me around 50$
I'd keep the case on it. Better safe and bulky than sorry and broken.
I have the defender series otterbox and its saved my ass several times.

I have a Body Glove that doesn't add much thickness when I have the stock battery in, and when I have the extended battery I have no case. The body glove is nice.
I'll be selling the whole kit and phone as soon as I pick up the Nexus 4.

I am using a shellster and the shell case itself is sturdy does what it is there to do, safeguarding the mobile, doesnt add much bulk and costs only 850 rs or about $17

I've always used this case and I love it! No bulk, eye catcher and is fully functional with it on. Less then $5 on amazon. Go check it out.

Not at all... Very easy to press. Same goes for the power button and camera button. Those are the only ones covered. Aux, HDMI, Charging port, MIC's, speaker and camera all open. Its a great case. Everyone else seems to gawk over it more then me lol. Probably cuz I'm used to it

Ordered the same earlier today

I use an extended battery, so it doesn't have a case. When I had/have the regular battery in, I use a Body Glove.
I ran an otter box commuter for a long time. After a year and many many drops (I work on a dock), the silicone is tearing and loosening. The plastic has cracked in a couple places. I still swear by them tho. I ran over my ATRIX 1 w the forklift. Visibly it looked fine but the digitizer was toast. Even the glass wasn't broken. Anyways. Long story short I love em. I stopped using a case tho once I went extended batt. If you're gonna rock the box, get one on eBay. Pay about half price.

Usу now my A2 without case, but this looks great.
Its very exepnsive to order somehing from amazon 4 me (live in Ukraine).
Try to find it in local internet stores.
Thank you anyway!
I use a white Ottebox Communter case for 6 months and planed to buy a defender case
My boyfriend used to keep the otterbox case on his A2, he ended up taking it off because of the bulk too... He's been fine without it for about a year now. Still looks new... I think he dropped it once. Haha.
90% of the time my A2 is in the Otterbox case I picked up at the $5 AT&T sale during...last summer? But since I do have a lapdock and the vehicle dock (and am going to be experimenting with a desk dock shortly) ... the case comes off. Thankfully, it's a pretty easy on and off, and I feel like the phone is very safe/protected when it is in the case.
To our Ukrainian friend...your best bet for cases may be something like eBay UK or eBay RU. Good luck!
I have used my atrix without a case for a while through now with a dinged up bezel I regret my choice to carry it naked.
