Clip holster for Otterbox Commuter - HTC Inspire 4G

I just picked up this case/holster combo from Best Buy:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinu...649794&skuId=1974333&st=htc inspire&cp=1&lp=2
The holster that it comes with holds the Inspire with Otterbox Commuter case very well. It looks like it's just a rebranded Seido Active X holster. So that might work too.
Here's the Seido version:

Hope this helps

That helps a lot, I had been thinking a lot about getting the Otterbox Defender for a while but it seems like it will add too much bulk to an already big phone. Now is it like a perfect fit, or is it more like it just fits OK? Also does the Otterbox Commuter have the screen membrane like the Defender does? I looked on the Otterbox website and I can't tell if it does or not and the description doesn't say if it does. Thanks and post some pictures if you can.

It's not perfect but very close. There's a small gap between the holster and the phone's screen side at the top (see pictures). The phone doesn't move around or anything though. When taking the phone in and out, you can feel a slight resistance in the bottom corners, but that's due to the rubbery material that is at the corners of the commuter case. The volume rocker, usb, headset and power button can still be accessed while in the holster. The belt clip rotates 180 degrees and has a sturdy feel to it. The holster is designed to hold the phone with the screen facing in towards you. It doesn't really fit well the other way.

It comes with a screen protector that is not part of the case, so it's optional or you can use a different one. The screen protector isn't washable/reusable though, so be careful when applying.
I ended up getting some anti-glare/fingerprint ones that are washable. The cut isn't perfect (you can see it in one of the pictures I attached) but it's good enough. It has a much more smooth feel than the glass and it cleans easier too. It really cuts down the visibility of fingerprints and glare. I got them here:

Thanks a lot for your detailed reply and pics, u rock!!!! I already own the case/holster combo from bestbuy and been thinking I want the defender from otterbox but it seems to bulky and I may go for the commuter instead, and use my existing holster for it, again thanks very much for your reply and pictures.

the only reason i ordered the defender was cause it came with a holster, wish i would have seen this a few days ago

what's the the best looking case and glass-like screen protector for the nexus one?

idoes anyone know any? 'm looking to get a case that looks just as good as my nexus one without a case. the only decent one i've seen are the seidio and the matte boxwave. i've checked out the otter and case mate one. they seem pretty bulky and i really like the slimness of the nexus one.
also, which screen protector are the one that feels the closest to the nexus one without a screen protector on? i'm thinking of the ultimate screen guard from seidio or the boxwave one. i was thinknig of getting zagg invisibleshield but the rubbery feels of it starts to annoy me. plus it's a pain to install on there.
i know it's all subjective, but i would appreciate if some of you guys can introduce me to some of the one that you look or think that's good. i just want sometihng to protect it from scratch and minor drop since i usually take care of my stuffs pretty good.
thanks.
btw, what does anyone tihnk of the "ultra case"'s cases? they looks pretty nice.
I really like my Seidio Innocase II and I use a Steinheil screen protector. The Steinheil is by far the best screen protector I have used. It doesnt take away from the clarity of the screen at all and still has a glass like feel.
i heard the seidio case are fit tightly onto the phone. so will it peel off the screen protector if i try to put that Steinheil screen protector on? i was planning to get the ultimate screen guard from seidio because it;ll probably be compatible with the case since it's made seidio.
Best Case & Screen Protector
Otter Box cases are really durable and The Invisible Shield by Zagg is made from a Military Grade material that's also used to protect helicopter blades from rocks and pebbles.
i second otter box's durability! i used a defender on my 3g and it was outstanding. dropped my phone all the time and never received damage to the phone what so ever. there customer service is outstanding, they sent me at least two complete new sets. one after i broke my belt clip and a second when i had probs with the belt clip not holding the phone securely.
as for screen protector, check out http://www.bodyguardz.com/ . i currently have a zagg on my n1 and it's ok, but i'm done with it. just not tough enough for me. i plan on trying out bodygaurdz.
I like the Lux case for my N1. Search Amazon for "premium flexi nexus".
Less than $5 shipped. Fits nice and protects everything but the screen. It is flexible enough to get on and off easily, but slippery enough to get it in and out of your pocket without a hassle.
This case will work fine with any screen protector.

Love those, have 2....got bored and bought my second one on ebay for 99 cents after having a clear one for months.
I had the full body Invisishield by Zagg and it is quite durable but I have nothing to compare it to. I couldn't use it with my desk and car docks so I had to remove the shield on all parts except the battery cover and the screen.
The problem I am having with the AMOLED screen is the visibility in daylight outside. The invisishield neither helps or hurts outside visibility. Is there a screen protector that would help with daylight (outside) visibility?
not to be rude or anything....but the cases that you guys recommended doesn't seem to be what i want, especially the otter box cause it seems bulky. i want a case that's still slim and looks better than the nexus one naked. i got my eyes on the gelli case by case-mate, pure crystal slip on by boxwave and seidio......maybe i'm leaning more toward seidio. but i heard screen protector usually get peeled on the edge when u put on the seidio case. that's why i'm still holding back.
CaseMate Tough Case
http://www.case-mate.com/Google-Cases/Case-Mate-Google-Nexus-One-Tough-Cases.asp
I think this is the best looking case!
I just ordered Black/Blue.
I also read a review saying that it's not as thick as it looks in the pictures.
The best looking case is the one Google decided you should use with your phone, the Nexus Sleeve. If you don't want yours I'd like to have it/buy it from you. I love my sleeve and refuse to mame the ID of the N1 with some aftermarket case.
This is what I use except I went with Ghost Armor for the Screen protection.
I use Case Mate Barely There. Sorry, can't post link yet.
I don't like covering up the beauty of the Nexus One either with bulky aftermarket cases so I've only used skins on it since I bought it. I've tried just about every skin out... bodyguardz, zagg invisible skin, etc but the best one I've tried is from bestskinsever.com Its also the cheapest..only like $8 for a full body skin. I bought 2 because being so cheap, I wasn't sure of the quality or if I was going to have to replace it soon but I still have to 1st one on my Nexus. I've also bought one for all 3 of my iPod Touches and I'm getting ready to order one for my iPhone.
At only $8 each you don't really have to sweat messing it up when you install it..if you do, pull it off and put another one on.

Pure Crystal Slip by Boxwave is what I wound up with.. Same as you, I didn't want to hide my phone, make it look like a car tread, etc.. It looks very nice, and you can really barely tell the thing is on there. It's not as super low profile as a Best Skins Ever, but I think it'd give more cushion in case of a call, and I know it makes the N1 a hell of a lot easier to hold. The N1 is very thin on the sides and very smooth, so for me I'm glad to have something a little more tacky and a bit thicker to actually hold. The N1 is very secure in my hands now.. Previously I was paranoid to actually carry the phone in my hands.

hmm, that looks pretty nice, lol.... but, even the gelli one looks cool.....!
i would keep the nexus one in the pouch that came with it. but it's a hassle to take it in and out especially when i try to be careful it. i like holding the nexus one in it pure form, but it pure form is kinda slippery so......call me paranoid lol. but hey, i might stick with it if i don't see anything else i like.
yea, the boxwave pure crystal slip is not bad. does it has a cutout for the volume and standby buttons? i hate gel/rubber cases that cover it because it makes it harder to press it. i used to have a case for my n97 mini that covers the menu button it takes more effort to press because of the thick rubber. anyway, i have a hard time deciding to get the smoke grey or the crystal clear. which one would look better iyo? and does their boxwave screen protector fits with the case on?

No, the volume and power buttons are covered.. It does take some of the feel away, and sometimes hard to tell if you pressed or not.. It doesn't take more pressure, in fact I think it's a little easier/too easy to press now. I have a bit of a review here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691231
I don't have anything else on my Nexus, no screen protector etc..
I use the blue seidio innocase II also have a black an a grey one, an its by far the best case ive used with my nexus one. Also i use a clarivue antiglare screen protector an the seidio case works great with it. No bubbles or anything like some screen protectors get while usin a seidio innocase
thanks for the help guys. i think i might go with the boxwave case. but before i get one, i have one question.
i heard the nexus one has antenna problem. does the case intercept with the antenna signal if i put it on the nexus one? thanks.

Otterbox commuter series case

Does anyone have any experience with this series Otterbox case? I don't really care for the size of the case on the iPhone, but i've only seen their defender series up close. This commuter series for our phones look nice, but until I can get some feedback I might wait on making the purchase.
Anyone?
http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Fas...color=20&start=1&cgid=samsung-fascinate-cases
I don't have any experience with Otterbox cases, but I can tell you that more than a few people around here were "patiently" awaiting their arrival for our phone.
I've been waiting for a solid case as well, but something that doesn't add too much bulk and weight to the phone like the Otterbox Defender does to the iPhone.
I saw that it was available yesterday and almost ordered it.
I had one on my incredible and really like how tough it was, however it does make the phone seem much larger, after my wife wanted the inc she wanted a pink or purple case so I sold the otterbox and gave her a Seido active purple case, wich does not seem as protective as the otterbox, but is also thinner.
I have a cheapy <$3 amazon rubber case on it, and I am very tired of it being hard to get in and out of my pocket and the case being so stretchy....I kind of like those "Breeze" mesh snap on cases on ebay for $13 because of how slim they are, I am torn on one of these or the otterbox....my only worry with the otterbox is how much bigger it will make the phone.
Justin
Zagg...case free...not one complaint...there are others like zagg that do the same job but zagg is very reliable and you can get a new case whenever you want for the shipping cost of like $4...

I had a Otterbox case for my Droid 1, and it was nice. Added a lot of bulk to the phone, but I was confident it was safe. Waiting to see what the Fascinate case will be like.
My buddie has the Otterbox case on his iphone 4. Its well made but very bulky. Too bulky imo. Personally I went with the kickstand case from verizon. There is already a discussion about on here so I wont go into the details. Slap on a screen protector of your choice and done.

Just when you think somebodies got it right their wrong. I believe that "Otterbox" is the best, but come on people we all want the best protection and to have this we need the "Defender Series" anything less is selling yourself short.

Just got the case in the mail. I think it's great. It does make the phone a little bulky, but no too much IMHO. The main problem I have with it is that the hole for the speaker does not line up and actually covers up half of it. Not really worth returning it for, but it irks me slightly.
@CouchSpud, Any way you can post pictures? I've been looking at this case, but it looks like the pictures on Otterbox website are of a silicone only case similar to the Impact series for the Captivate. Then when I click the link to PDF specs, the spec sheet shows a Commuter case for the Captivate instead. Curious what they sent you?
If I understand the difference correctly, the Commuter case should be a polycarbonate cover over a silicone sleeve, while the Defender case is silicone over polycarbonate. Or does the defender case have silicone on both sides of the polycarbonate (3 pieces)? Not sure why the Defender would be better...

No problem. It's only a two piece case and it has a silicone interior and a polycarbonate exterior.
The first picture shows the silicone interior to the left and the hard exterior to it's right. The second picture shows how thick the case is compared to the phone by itself. The last picture shows how far off the hole for the speaker is.
o man thats a deal breaker for me... I really loved my otterbox on my Droid 1 it was amazing in terms of protection and I was going to order this too before I saw that pic of it covering half the speaker. Thats ridiculous... how could the mis-align the phone with the case.
I just received the case yesterday and It does add bulk to the case but feels very solid and will keep the fascinate very safe... i thought the covering of the speaker would be a problem but I don't notice and change in sound. Could be a little cheaper ~$40 with shipping.

Always look up coupon codes before you buy something online. There was a 10% off/free shipping coupon that drops it down to about $31.
Oh man, that sucks that they covered the speaker up.. I just ordered one of these which should be arriving any day now
I can't believe they didn't check this before running them.
On a side note, do you guys prefer Zagg invisible shield or wrapsol http://www.wrapsol.com/en_US/Home+Page/Products/iphone+_+mobile/samsung/Fascinate.aspx
I ordered a Zagg, but after watching a few youtube videos it seems people say the wrapsol has a smoother touch and less of the orange peel effect?? What do you guys think?

Trident Aegis for Droid Charge review

Out of the four cases I have tried for the Charge I think I finally found my favorite. The Trident Aegis has some problems as did all the cases I tried but it is the best. It comes in 5 colors and they look great. I got the blue one and it looks as good in person as it does on the site.
The materials used are very nice and the surface has a great anti-skid finish that provides great in hand grip. The hard plastic outer shell covers all 4 sides of the phone for a tight fit. It is thicker then the Otterbox Commuter at the phones curve at the bottom but I actually like that. It gives the phone a great feel when using it in landscape mode. Even though it is a bit bulky it does fit in pockets easily. The corners of the case are heavily padded for drop protection.
All of the ports are covered to prevent dust, moisture or any other unwanted substance getting into them. I found that the usb port was hard to open at times (I have no finger nails) and that the hdmi cover opens a little to easily. The power button and volume rocker are covered as well and easily accessible. One of the things I really like is the dust filter on the speaker opening. The speaker is loud and clear and will not be getting dust in it. The lip that goes around the screen is not as big as the Otterbox but provides just as good of protection.
The protection this case offers is great. Its not as heavy duty as the Otterbox Defender or the Trident Kracken II but it is good enough for every day use. It comes with a screen protector that I did not use. I would recommend this case without a doubt. While its not perfect its does correct the things that I did not like about the Otterbox Commuter and provides just as good of protection. If I can get access to a camera at some point I will post some pictures to go along with the review.
Thanks for all of the info. both here and via PM.
I want to hold out for the Kraken 2, but my Otterbox is driving me nuts so I might just grab an Aegis.

The top and the bottom edges of the Otterbox are not covered by the hard plastic so it is kind of loose. The buttons are also covered which I don't like and the hard plastic is kind of slippery.

I don't like how the top of the silicon portion isn't supported by the hard case, so it easily separates from the phone if you lift the phone by that area.
I also find that, while it's nice to slip in and out of your pocket, the hard case is too slippery for my tastes. It slides off of sloped surfaces and I've almost dropped the phone a few times now.
Personally, I like having the hard buttons covered, but the silicon that covers the buttons doesn't seem to fit tight against the screen, so debris can work its way underneath.
I never use the HDMI port, so not having it protected by silicon makes no sense to me.
Don't let my dislikes make it seem like it's a bad case, it's not, but I think the Aegis will fit me better. The Aegis should arrive tomorrow, so we shall see.
I'm thinking of making a short video to show the differences between the cases. I'll let you know when it's up.
Moondrius and Romemo,
Have either of you had the Incipio case before your trident case? I'm wondering how they compare. I'm surprised to see the trident case so slim since I always incorporate trident cases to be monsters.
I had the Incipio double cover and the Feather and both were sent back. The double cover was alright until I noticed it covered the hdmi port. It did seem thin and less bulky. The Aegis is the most bulky of the 3 but in a good way I would say. Its slightly thicker at the bottom. I would say I liked the Double Cover more then the Otterbox but I used it for like 5 minutes. The Feather was complete garbage. Its a shame because I really liked the Feather when I had my Atrix.
Thanks. I have the Incipio double cover. I really like it since I never use hdmi, not sure I can handle anything that would be bulkier.

For the Incipio case? It's here:

Does verizon sell the Incipio case for the Charge? If so, how much do they ask for it? I really like the looks of the Incipio case and I am just trying to figure out if a covered HDMI port is worth it. I get 25% off accessories at Verizon so if the price is reasonable I wouldn't mind picking one up to try it out.
So I get my Charge on Monday. I have the cyclops series trident case for the fassy. It felt good. Overall I liked it. So I purchased the aegis. I bought it from the same ebay seller I got the fassy from: cyclopscase.
A good price too 23.33 with free shipping.

My dust cover for the hdmi port ripped off yesterday. I went to go use it and while pulling the tab off of the phone it just ripped right off. That tab is really flimsy and I used very little force around it.

Yikes... Yeah, that's a definite weak spot. I was thinking that, if I go back to my Aegis, I would just remove that cover.
Is it easy to take in and out of the case? I bought the media dock and the car dock, which leaves no room for a case. So I've been using the zagg shield that covers the entire phone. Problem is with the car dock, the sides have been tearing off due to putting the phone in and out of the dock. It's pretty useless, so I want a real case, but I don't want to buy a new car or media dock for it.
Does the Aegis come off and on pretty easily?

IMHO no. The hard outer shell is designed to be a reeeeally tight fit around the soft inside cover. As a current owner I wouldn't want to constantly take it off and put it back on for a car dock. Plus I think it would eventually wear on the buttons and dust covers.

[Q] What case is better Otterbox Commuter vs. Casemate?

I saw reviews on the Casemate but not the Otterbox Commuter and I was wondering by experience which of the two are better and why?
I never tried the Otterbox but I do have the active Seidio vase and Casemate Tough. The casemate is one solid case. Protection all around and it feels great.
Anyone else have any more thoughts? I was going to post the exact same question until I used the feature to search

I have the Case Mate "Barely There" and I must say it is exactly what I expected.
Good protection for the phone back, sides & lower part. The upper part (at the power button) is less protected as you can see HERE but for me it will do.
The design is perfect, it fits like a glove; all case openings for camera lens & volume buttons are at the good location, see HERE & HERE!
Also, the cover is very thin (but still plastic so still better protection than rubber) so the design of my precious Sensation isn't ruined by it.
Finally, I'd suggest to use an original HTC screenprotector together with this case. Your phone will last for years that way. I tried an external party screenprotector but that was a waste of money because of the worse fit.
Hope this helped you a bit, as you asked for Otterman comments
I have both of the cases mentioned and i like them both. They both do there job. My only gripes are that with the otter-box case i have to fully disassemble the case to use my desktop dock. I have always been a fan of otter-box and have used there cases since owning my Hd2 and will continue to be partial to them for that reason, just wished there were a kickstand on the commuter series for the sensation when you buy it.
Thanks for the feedback, how are the usb ports on the otterbox and does the flap close well?
Basically between the two you would prefer the otterbox more?
thanks again

Basically between the two you would prefer the otterbox more?
thanks again

the usb ports function well, the flap closes alright a little hard to open and close and i have used case for about four months and the silicone surround is starting to wear a bit but this is because i remove my phone frequently to use with my desktop cradle. I like the design of the otterbox more it is more ergonomic in my book. Here the way i look at it for the money casemate is a just as logical choice as the otterbox. I prefer the otterbox just becasue i like there product and had never used a casemate before. So in my opinion otterbox.
ballistic
try the ballistic case, its awesome, and its cheaper than otterbox, i bought mine off ebay, it has a silicone plus a hard plastic cover on top of it, its very cool
I've got the Casemate Tough on mine. Had it since December, and it's a great case.
Nice and grippy in the hand, but won't stick in your pocket like the silicon ones can.
The only gripes I can have with it are that it's a pain to disassemble to pull the battery or the SD card, and it could do with being in a few different colours.
I always like bright cases on my phones (yellow is a particular fave) because I do a lot of fishing, and it's always easier to see something bright yellow if you drop it or put it down in a hurry!
I'd say it's worth the money.

Rugged case with built in screen protector?

For 90% of the time I plan to go naked on my phone. But when I go hiking/camping or working on my project cars I want a rugged case with a built in screen protector. Want something that I can just grab with a greasy hand and snap a photo, google something, or bang out a sext to some hottie without worrying about my phone. Found a VEGO case on amazon that looks like it will fit the bill but wanted to know if anyone has tried one or another one that fits what i need. If it also had a belt clip that would be great too.
Here's that VEGO case https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ID402BQ
I think the otterbox defender is exactly what you need.
it has a plastic frame with cushions inside and an integrated plastic screen protector(no adhesive, so no bubbles), and a silicon cover that wraps around the frame.
it also comes with a multi-function holster/clip.
you can keep this clip attached to your belt, and the phone will clip into it.
the clip also doubles as a kickstand by inserting your phone backwards and opening the clip all the way.
otterbox are nice, I originally got one for my S6 but it has openings at the top and on the button that let dust get in, I had a massive problem with having to clean out the case daily to reduce buildup.

New otterbox is supposed to feature a glass built in screen protector!! Eagerly waiting for its reason. I pre ordered it on Amazon for $35, but the price is back up to it's normal cost now
Edit: looks like they updated their websites/vendors. The built in screen protector will be plastic

link?
Ill keep an eye out for the Defender, in the meantime I did buy the one I linked.
Found this, ghostek atomic case. The link is for the s7 edge version, but the note 7 should be out near the end of the month. This allows you to use your buttons, unlike the one from amazon. Would like to see a review on the note 7 when it comes out.
Thanks ill keep an eye for it as well. Got that cheaper Vego case coming from amazon for the meantime.
And I gotta say, going naked the past week has been great, no issues so far. I toss it into my pocket with my keys.

I see you like to live dangerously, haha.
You might also want to check out Zizo, I'm not a 100% what their screen protectors are like but they're good rugged cases and not super pricey.
