Has anyone bought this?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I ordered mine two days ago. I'll let you know how it is.
Just got my case mate pop case for the wife's phone. All in all its a very nice rugged case. It is single piece of soft rubber and hard rubber. The hard purple rubber is like the speck case if you looked at that one at the att store. All buttons are covered, but the flap for the bottom connections is omitted unlike the otterbox commuter.
The case is just thick enough to cover the camera by about 1-2mm so you know the camera will be protected from setting it down, however will not protect the camera in a full drop.
The only thing I don't like about the case is the rubber black strips on both sides are not flush they are glued on top of the purple hard case.
Here are a few pictures of it.
we have them at my workplace ... they remind me of a knock-off Speck candy shell case ...
have one on my samsung focus .. and it does its job .. but not my personal prefrence for case.
Are the buttons as stiff as Candy Shell?

They are about in between the commuter(soft) and candyshell(hard). I hated the candy shell as to unlock the phone really took effort with the button. My Otterbox commuter takes a little effort, but not bad. The unlock button on her phone with this case the unlock button seems just about as responsive as if it was a naked phone. Home this helps.

I got mine a couple of days ago and I'm liking it so far. Its very sturdy so you wont have to worry about it for protection. As for the design, I love love it! Its edgy and sleek so i've been getting a lot of compliments. Overall its a nice case. I would rate it an 8 for protection (no screen cover) and a 10 for design.

just got my pop case today and im loving it. the phone buttons are really responsive through the pop cases rubber buttons. phone fits perfectly in the case. and looks great!
Small update: only a few days of using it, the rubber support is either peeling or accumulating dead skin cells. Definitely not making the phone look brand new. Im thinking of actually returning it. Too bad.

Just recently got the otterbox phone case for desire hd since they don't have one for inspire, its not as bulky and protective looking as the ones for iPhones and hate how the little rubber flap that covers the earpeice plugin and charger is loose.
Anyone have a good recommendation for a cover? I've already seen a shattered inspire screen and it scares me buddy told me he dropped it from like knee length to ground

I've got the Otterbox Commuter on mine and love it; if you want something with more protection, get the Otterbox Defender. And as far as the protective flap, I just sliced it off with a razor blade; just do it while the case is on and use the plastic as a guide.
Don't think they offer anything but the commuter case which is also what I have

I just bought a Speck case (at -- cough, cough, choke -- full retail at the AT&T store) but it is great! It feels soft enough to hold onto without it oozing out of my hand, but is actually pretty tough.
Like almost every case, it takes away from the sleekness of the naked phone but not so much so I feel I'm holding a brick. It also fits absolutely perfectly in every respect. I especially like the barely discernible lip all the way around the screen which should help protect the screen in case of a face-down fall.

The Desire HD Defender Case will work for the Inspire 4G despite what they say. You just have to modify/remove the clear plastic flash covering for the 2nd microphone. I have one for my Inspire and fits like a glove.
The eBay "wave" case. $4 shipped. Takes awhile to get it, its coming from China, but worth the wait.
I returned a $30 body glove and a seido (sp?, from best buy). This one was better. Covers the camera area, fits snug, and has that rough texture that makes it easy to get a good grip, down the sides where your palm and fingers contact the phone when holding it.
Seriously. Best four bucks I've ever spent.
There's a separate thread here talking about this case, don't have the link handy.

I have the Best Buy Platinum case which is nothing more than a rebranded Seido Innocase II. I LOVE IT! Comes with a belt clip as well. The best part is it makes the whole phone feel sturdier (if that's possible). Slips in and out of pocket easy as well. The lip on the front makes it possible to pull phone out of pocket (unless tight jeans) without accidentally answering or hanging up on the call. The back lines up with the outer most part of the camera lens, thus the phone is all one thickness. I think this makes it easier to hold. Just slap a full face screen protector on the front before putting on the case and you're good to go.

I'm using the Case-mate. Similar to otterbox with a inner rubber liner and outer hard shell. I like the texture of the hard outer shell as it makes it easier to grip phone but still slides into pocket.

I have the same case. I got it from seidio though. I agree with everything you said. It's very nice and will protect the phone.

Hey,
What do you guys use/recommend for a slim fascinate case? I like the ones that have part of the top and bottom recessed. I also would like to now your opinions on cases with kickstands.
Thanks.

The OEM Fascinate Kickstand case works well, and adds about a mm of thickness. Kickstand works well. I've dropped the phone about twice on concrete, no damage on the phone and a few dings on the case
Sent from a Limited Edition phone from a Premium app..
How does the kickstand last over time and being dropped?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Incipio has an awesome thin case
The kickstand doesn't potrude out so it stays smooth along the surface of the case. I haven't had any issues with it at all. I've never dropped it in its kickstand position, because.......your not supposed to move it when its in kickstand position. But the kickstand is firmly attached to the case, so no worries about breaking it off unless you force it off yourself. Everyone who has used it mostly has good things to say about it.

Here it is.
I would recommend an otterbox case. I have the cheapest one, it is thin and I have dropped it numerous times- no damage

I recently got the Seido Active-X. Really happy with it.
IMO, the best case out there:
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csk3ssfas-rd.htm
great protection, slides in and out of pocket easily, and looks great.
Thought I'd just pitch in with this:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Fasci...sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=mobile&qid=1303942589&sr=8-7
It's quite slim, fits in my pocket easily, it has a nice feel to it, and it's probably one of the cheapest options. I've gone through a few cases with this phone but I never really like the way they made the phone feel. This case on the other hand make the phone feel reeeaal comfy. I actually prefer having it on as opposed to leaving the phone naked.
The only real problems I have with it are that it's a bit of a lint collector and small
parts of the spine may need to be filed down (little sharp bits of excess plastic).
I have the incipio one and i love it. It also can be removed easily if using a dock. I will be picking up a second one actually in a different color I like it so much. It is also only 1mm thick but still provides plenty of protection.
I like the seido ones as well but to me too bulky. My wife loves it though.

I have the OEM Kickstand case and have had nothing but good experiences with it. I've dropped my fascinate once on concrete and there's nothing but a scuff on the edge of the case to show for it. It's sturdy and obviously fits the phone very well. The kickstand is sturdy as well. If you listen to music or watch video the kickstand allows you to access the screen without laying the phone down and covering the speaker.
If you really want a super thin case I have the Case Mate Barely There case and it is amazingly thin and has worked great for me so far.

Orderd this one with the blue backing. Real nice, and durable. Phone is really protected without adding too much bulk.
search amazon for TPU Fascinate you'll get really good cases, they fit very snug on the phone and are slim, shock absorbing and scratch resistant
I had one of those for my droid x. I liked it for the first week or so and then I got the vzw carbon fiber case

I've been very really happy with my incipio feather case. I like the "rubber-like back," and out just thick enough to protect the camera lens, which is all I was really concerned about.

So i'm soon going to get a Skyrocket, i have the Hercules but i'm going to do a switch for a more futureproof decision. Anyway I noticed that the Skyrocket has much more options compared to the Hercules in the case department. So i wanted to know you guys and gals think is the best case for the Skyrocket.
In My Opinion.. which im also using right now is the otterbox commuter. i wouldn't say it as a best case, but it does the job i needed it to do, i can slip it in and out of my pocket easily and fully protects my phone from nicks and bumps and doesnt really add greater bulk to it. plus it cover your headphone jack and charging port... which i think is really neat.

I cant say the best for everyone but imho the otter defender is best for me. I'm hard on my phones and it doesnt add too much bulk to it.
Im using the Seidio active case. It looks super nice and provides great protection.... check it out.

Seidio makes awesome cases. I've used them for a year or 2 and they all have done a great job. Just got my SkyRocket and I'm eagerly waiting for my active to show up
Sent from low Earth orbit with my SkyRocket.
i am also using the Seidio Active case with the holster also it has a kickstand which is also pretty handy
I love seidio.. but I cant get over how much lint and dust collects on the soft inner layer on the active cases.. drives me mad. same for the otterbox commuter... seidio surface has been my weapon of choice for many years. cept the ones for skyrocket feel cheaper to me. and kinda loose.
I like my diztronic. Its no otterbox defender but its low profile and hardly noticeable.

ringke makes two nice cases, I chose the slim one my sammyrocket wants to get his sexy on ..
I like this one. It's a premium leather case from SGP. Looks good, feels good and has great protection.

Its like a Barely There. Love this case for low profile.
I am currently using the otterbox commuter.
I also have the case-mate tough case in black/red that I really like with one complaint. The the hard plastic shell does not fit snugly against the soft inner rubber. I thought at first I just received a bad case, I sent it back to case-mate explaining the poor fit and they sent a new one that arrived today. I installed the case and it has the same issue.
Looks great and if the hard plastic outter shell fit securely it would be a great case.
i got the casemate barely there brushed aluminum and silver SGP neo hybrid.......love em both, hated all otterboxs' and the casemate pop.......too damn bulky!!!
those leather ones are really nice just flipping it open every time to use it makes me wonder ..
I also had an amzer tpu which for the price was fine.
I chose the slim because not like the skyrocket is a flimsy pos anyways, I've dropped other phones bare 20+ times on blacktop and concrete they never broke or malfunctioned at all .
I also like the Trident case for the skyrocket though yep
i have a guy building aluminum bumpers for it , screw seal and all -20USD soon xda, vewy soon
Can anyone confirm if/any cases fit with a full Invisishield?
My Skyrocket was bought from Ebay and it came with the Otterbox Defender case. So far it has done wonders as I have extremely clumsy hands. Design wise, I don't know how it can get much better.

I just got a Otterbox commuter. I cannot understand why the corners have no hard shell protection, if you drop your phone there is a good chance it will land on a corner with heavy impact. The most frustrating though is how hard it is to use the volume up/down pads, massive resistance.

I bet its because the phone would be 10x harder to take out if the corners had hard shell protection. Plus if you take a look at the inner layer of the case, it has extra width in the corner areas for the very reason of needing extra protection during drops for those often hit areas. Concerning the buttons, idk about massive pressure. I use the power and volume buttons constantly while hearing music and usually get away with just pressing down a little harder..

I don't know about that. I had a captivate with an otterbox commuter, full shell zero problems and other than this being 0.5 inches larger the form is almost identical.
I am glad the buttons are easy to press for you though because it is that that is the reason for myself and tons of others returning it.

Hello, this is a review on specks candy shell for the Samsung Galaxy S4. If you are unfamiliar with specks line up of candy shell cases, the candy shell is a hybrid case that incorporates both a soft silicone and a hardshell. That is where the case derives its name candy shell, it is like a candy, soft on the inside and hard on the outside. But that is besides the fact that the speck candy shell will offer the ultimate protection to sleekness factor. The silicone will aid in shock absorption and the hardshell on the outside will aid in bumps and scrapes. It also preserves the sleekness of the Galaxy S4 as other hybrid cases such as the otterbox have two pieces which separate, this causes unnecessary bulk. In my opinion, I am quite fond of the cases design. I like the two toned plastic to silicone and how the silicone accents all the buttons and corners of the phone. The case also does not hinder any of the phones functionalities as the buttons are nice and responsive with a "clicky" response. The cut outs for the camera, IR blaster, headphone jack, usb port, and microphones are all cut to perfection. I have no problems with 3rd party headphones and usb cables from not fitting. On the front of the phone it offers a nice and ample "lay on the table" lip, for when you face your phones screen down. Although there are several complaints I have with the case, the back of the case will pick up scratches quite easily although it is better that it is the case not the phone, the investment you have to put down to purchase this case is quite exorbitant and the glossy back can get uncomfortable to hold when your hands are greasy or wet. However, in conclusion I still recommend the Speck Candy Shell to anyone who owns a Samsung Galaxy S4 and wants ultimate protection while preserving the sleek and slender body of the Galaxy S4.
Is there any chance that you could measure the size of the Candyshell and upload some pictures?
Thanks in advance

Okay! I will
-Taking the pictures and measuring the case-
It's a great case, but it's a scratch magnet and it doesn't stay as comfortable to hold onto for long periods of time. I love the button response, though.

I've been using this case (white) since I got the phone and have used speck candyshells for my other devices.
I love the case, specially the lip that protects the screen. It does add some bulk but it still feels great to me.
I added the wireless receiver from fonesalesman and it works great... nfc and all.
My only complaint is that the back scratches a lot, but since mine is white, you don't really see it!

I used a candyshell for about a month and I just replaced it with a UAG. I love how the candyshell has hard plastic covering all 4 edges, while most other cases only cover the side edges. For me the power button was too easy to press accidentally, which is why I gave the UAG a shot. The candyshell is slimmer than the UAG.
The wireless charger works with this case?
