otterbox defender - HTC Inspire 4G

Anyone get one yet? Just ordered one off ebay for the desire HD and it was only $35, free shipping from NY. Otterbox website and amazon were out of stock, but wondering if anyone took the route that i did

I ordered otterbox commuter yesterday off ebay and both amazon and otterbox were out of stock. Defender to me is too bulky.

I though desire hd cases would not fit inspire.

Desire hd cases should all fit because it is the same exact size and placement for the casing. And so I take it that no one has tried one yet...mine should be here in a day or so, so I will be the first to review it? Lol and yes it may be bulky but it might be the difference between buying a new phone through insurance or keeping my one with cm7 and zagg shield on it

I actually got mine in yesterday and I'm actually very impressed. My biggest concern was how much bulk it would add to the phone, but it really isn't as bad as the defender on other devices (iPhone). After putting it on and using it for a day it actually feels pretty good in hand and I don't worry about carrying it with me when I go out for a run.

So the Desire HD Defender case fits the Inspire no problems?

Yea the HTC Desire HD cases work. I ordered the commuter case off of otterbox and boy am I impressed. Not bulky at all and is more than I was expecting. I highly recommend this case.

No problems whatsoever.

Anyone knows if the clip that comes with the defender series will allow the commuter to securely clip onto it?

Nope. There is about 1cm in width difference.

I have one like that. And I modded a moneyclip on the backside. Now its phone cover and wallet 2 in 1.
I have that case. It's really good and doesn't add too much thickness to the phone. It fits well too. I've used two cases with my phone and this us by far the better one.

I'm using an otterbox commuter case. I figured why not spend more to keep my desire nice. Best case I've ever had for ANY phone.

You beat me to it, I have the Commuter for my HD2 and Desire, probably the best made case you can get your hands on.
I've got a Case Mate Tough, looks pretty good and the protection is excellent.
I use the black case on deal extreme, it fits perfectly on my HTC desire.

Cheaper than you think : around 17 euros ...
using the dcmugen epik case from ebay, so happy with it because it's not a dust magnet
Official HTC pull tab leather case - I only ever buy OEM
no case, only a leather bag.
Case Mate Tough, possibly the best fit i've come across.
my is naked. case makes its sexy body fat and ugly!!
This leather flip case that i order the day before yesterday turned up today and the phone fits nice and snug. i dont expect it to last long, possibly a month or 2? but good for keeping as a spare.
I have a zagg shield and gel case on its way
I'm nothing but happy with my Otterbox Commuter for my Desire. +1.

Otter Box commuter case

If anybody is looking for a good case for their DHD then I recommend the Otter Box Commuter, great case just got one fits like a glove and will protect really well.
It's in two parts a soft silicone insert with a hard plastic shell over that best I have seen and not to bulky all in black looks mint.

Is this soft enough so that I can put my phone in and take out several times a day or that will be hard to do?
Yeah you can do that easily. The commuter case hasn´t those case mate pop case - problems.
Hello,i've bought Otter Box Defender for moutain bike , a very good case too ...

No, but it makes the DHD much bigger.
When you take the Phone in your trousers pocket it rubs at the sides of the pocket.
But i need to say, that i have no Otterbox but an similar produkt from amazon ^^
Thanks.
That's quite surprising considering the extra thickness the case provides.
It is a great case - but very pricey compared to simlar types of case - often described as hybrid on eBay.
I bought a two piece silicone and plastic for a Nokia N8 and it only cost about £4.00. One 6th of the Otterbox - but so far there doesn't seem to be any hybrid 2 piece cases for the DHD

I've got the Otterbox Commuter for the HTC Desire HD and i'm not that satisfied about it. Because like you guys said it attracks dust on the silicone. When I was trying to clean the case, IT BROKE

Would that be CaseMate? Tough?
There are quite a few threads open about cases already...
I bought a 2$ silicone case from dealextreme, still waiting for it to come in, but good reviews on it.

Can you show us some pics?
I am sure it's been mentioned before and there are probably even some reviews, but I can highly, highly recommend the Case-Mate Tough for the Desire HD. It's an amazing case, by far the best one I've used.
I've had it for a couple of months already. It fits great, looks great and feels great in my hands. So far after 2 months of use it looks like brand new - no wear around the edges. One thing I was a little bit concerned about in the beginning is that the bottom part, which is rubber only (look-up some pictures) would stretch and sag, but that hasn't happened at all.
Just go out and get one, you won't be disappointed ;-)
I got a Case-mate Barely There case.
It's good enough for me as i haven't dropped my phone so far. usually happens in the first few days.
Screen film is also great, can barely see it and the phone is perfectly usable.
I Got A E-Cell Carbon Fiber Case,
Got It Off Ebay For £4.99
Seems To Be Of Decent Build Quality
Tough case user here too, awesome case. Lovin it.
no cases ftw
I am using one from Capdase (http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=1153&pid=8890)
Has been serving me well and saved a drop too! DHD becomes more rugged with this.
Otterbox is the best bet for protection. I'm currently using the defender series. It feels really safe and secure. Although quite expensive, well worth the investment.

I've just got the otterbox commuter and it seems great, phone feels really good to hold in the hand and looks like it will protect phone if I drop it

please recommend case for sensation

I am happy with the original case for touch HD.
I prefer to slide the phone out when using it.
My intention is to protect the phone from dust and scratch when in the pocket.
thanks.

I would prefer the below case. Anyone has used it before?
http://www.amazon.com/Monaco-Vertical-Carrying-Case-Sensation/dp/B0058V25ZY/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_2
so the name for such kind of case is "Vertical Carrying Case"
The below one seems to fit my needs perfectly. any idea?

What exactly is TPU? is it like rubber? i got the Gel Skin from tmobile store free when i got the phone and it serves its purpose but the case just attracts mad pocket lint and dust. does TPU do that?
i dont get why you guys would spend on a case so expensive when you can get one on ebay for a cheaper price.

I have the Melkco (orange stripe on black leather) and I can tell you a few things about it.
1. It looks great. This case lends the Sensation a genuinely premium look and feel. I was (and still continue to be) impressed.
2. It fits perfectly. The handset is snug and does not budge.
3. All sides are covered. The top covers the digitizer completely. No particulates make their way in.
Get it.

Personally I don't like tpu-like case. That is a cloth on the phone which make it look ugly.
I would like to get the phone out pocket, with leather case, looks decent,
draw out the phone, a shiny baby....

Need a sturdy case

Ballistics SG! It was just a tad too much for me when I had it, but the case felt really really nice.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I want to suggest ballistic SG as well. You can grab one from Amazon for less than $20 and yet its very durable and effective. I dropped mine several times and the phone is still in pristine condition. Make sure you also grab a screen protector.
Not sure if you can get it, but I personally swear by Otterbox. Had it on my other phones and provided great protection. I don't think you're one to care about bulk, so I'd suggest the Otterbox. Plus, they have lifetime warranty on their cases; so if your case gets destroyed or the rubber flaps start to rip off, call them up and they'll ship you a brand new one for free.
I personally feel About Turning Leather Protective Sleeve, comprehensive protection outside dust, scratches can be very good to protect your phone is a good choice!! :fingers-crossed:

Throwing in another vote for the Otterbox, you can even find them on eBay for cheaper than retail.
