Hi all,
I have an EVO 4G and I have a Nexus S 4G on preorder. My question is when I get it, do you guys think the Nexus S 4G will require different cases than the regular Nexus S due to it's WiMax radio thickness difference? I think they said that the bulkiness was about the width of a credit card. How snug do your cases fit now? I know when I had my Invisi-Shield on my EVO it wouldn't fit in a case. Thanks for your help guys! Can't wait to start my pure Google experience!
There was another thread about this earlier but to anwer your question some said certain may work some may not. One guy said he stuck a credit card in with his nexus in his case and he said it fit ok. Don't remember which case he had. But honestly we probably won't know until the phone is released and people try cases. Personally I want the case mate or otterbox case with my nexus s when its released. Hopefully it fits. Hope this helps a bit.

I'm sure this thread has been posted several times but here it goes. I'm new to the HTC inspire and android OS. I came from and iphone and I'm loving what I've seen so far with my new phone. What I haven't seen is a whole lot of loving from the accessory companies. What do you guys recommend for screen protectors and case protectors. Also will stuff for phones like the HTC desire work for the inspire? Any suggested apps for first time user.
Thanks
Max
Welcome brother. Anything for the DHD will work with the inspire.

There is a growing base of products for the Inspire. Check the Inspire Accessories forum. and as far as what to get for your phone it depends on the flavor you want? nakid or as close to nakid as possible? case? screen protectors? up to you! if you have questions feel free to pm i have been reading the accessories thread for a while, although I feel like i am squared away with what i have for my phone. (next purchase is a decent hip holster the $12 special just isn't going to cut it for very long! LOL)
Android OS**
Droid is a branding for verizion high end android phones. Android is then operating system powering the devices. Just annoying that people dont know this.
Anyways welcome the inspire is a beautiful device and most acessories for the desire hd will work with the inspire.
The best screen protector I have found is the realook one from amazon. It is truly invisible. As far as cases go u probably have to get one online, as all the accessory places in the mall and such are over saturated with iPhone accessories, but that's kinda how it goes for android. I personally would rather shop online as all the mall kiosks are really overpriced and all the iPhone people don't seem to mind.

My wife just got an Epic after coming from an old school Verizon flip phone. The main reasons she liked the Epic was the screen and the size of the phone. She didn't really care to have the keyboard but didn't want to pass on the phone just because it had one. Anyway, she wants a case/protector for the phone, but preferably some type of tpu material, one piece. Do they even make a one piece for this phone? Like I said, she doesn't want or use the keyboard.
thanks,!
any hard case for this phone is gonna come in 2 pieces so the keyboard will still be accesible. they wouldn't make a case that would limit the functionality of the phone...
I think I may have seen something like that on ebay before. The question is, why didn't she just get Nexus S if the keyboard is not going to be used?
She thought the Nexus S was too plasticky feeling, and didn't like the OS too much. Plus, all I have ever heard is complaints of bad signal, etc. with the Nexus S. I am an EVO owner and root/flashing fiend but wasn't about to try to explain to her what I could do to her phone to make it operate differently.

I would have recommended the Nexus S to her if she didn't need the keyboard and wanted a one piece tpu case.
If she likes Touchwiz you can always download TWManager from the forums which will install a modded (but much nicer) version of TW on that phone.
... no keyboard? ;( it lags anyways XD

what about the epic touch 4g, why stick with a phone that willl be eol in a couple of months. Its a great phone and all but its like getting the iphone 4 when the 4s is out
Having had an Otterbox Defender for my old iPhone, I am hooked on the idea of getting a similar set up for my Sensation - especially since the case saved my phone from liquid damage a number of times!
Turns out no-one does one (as far as I can tell, anyway). Worse still, is that Otterbox apparently have no intention of doing one either! Take a look at this half-baked reply I got from Otterbox cust servs...
"Mike,
I love to hear how much of a fan you are of our products! Unfortunately we won’t be making a defender for the Sensation. We only offer the commuter case for that phone. I don’t have an exact reason why we will not be making one. If you have any other questions please let me know."
I'm guessing it might have something to do with the slight slope at the side of the glass??? Emphasis on the word guessing there! Either way, that was very bad news.
I've read all the reviews of the tougher cases on here which are all very useful, but just in case I've missed something, does anyone know of any defender-esque, fully encapsulating case for the Sensation? Or failing that, does anyone know if there might be one coming out soon?
Thanks loads,

Thanks, you're a legend. Bought and paid for. Nice one.
hey guys
i have the opportunity to change my 2months old galaxy nexus against a brand new htc one s without paying something.
would you buy the one s over the galaxy nexus or are you happy with your one s
the galaxy nexus is a great phone. The one s is also a great phone..
if you can get the one s and it wont cost you a penny. do it
i got my one s for free too, Otherwise i probably would have stuck with my old phone (sensation)
but hey you got nothing to lose
I'm also in the same boat. If i still like the One S After checking it out a T-mobile store (im a bit worried about the screen). I am confident ill find someone willing to swap for a galaxy nexus
+1 for being in the same boat. The only thing holding me back is a few reviews I have read made mention of the sub-average reception on the HTC One S.
The reception issue was addressed by T-Mobile and a fix or correction to the software will be made to the handsets before the customers receive their phones. But I'm just recycling information. I take reviews with a grain of salt as far what people have to say about screen and such. Everyone has an opinion and compares said A to Said B. Check the phone out, if you like it get it. If not there are many other phones out there. Enjoy technology!
Cheers.

long time htc user here (eris, rezound, dna, etc) and wow... this phone is by far the best htc much less phone ive ever had in my hand.. with xposed no need to even rom.. (though still love our devs!) lightning fast stock (doesn't even need to be debloated but of course did)
i know this has been stated many times, but i just wanna say it again, this device is beast!
I agree best phone I've ever used. I'll be honest it didn't give me the same feeling I had when I first held the galaxy nexus but that metal back though. Amazing

I've had a couple of HTC's (Og EVO, LTE) and this phone far surpassed those. I was on a Nexus 4 for the past year or so and stock Android was very simple, but I like what they've done with Sense 6. Very happy with my purchase so far.
Wow

This is my first non motorola android phone.......not looking back. This thing is GREAT!!!!!!
I got the HTC Incredible 2 as my first phone and since I didn't know anything about Android at the time I got it based on reviews not knowing each manufacturer was different. Then I got the DNA because it was the best Verizon phone at the time. (Not a fan of Samsung's cheap feel and hate Touch wiz) Then I got the M8 for close to same reason.
HTC just keeps finding new ways to reel me back in. Loving this phone so much. In my opinion Sense is the best version of Android aside from fully working Cyanogenmod.

First time HTC guy here. Left Samsung because of all the lockdown crap. And I agree, WOW this is one awesome device !
It was either the m8 or the Dev Ed moto x on a whim I got the m8 (will arrive Friday ) I thought I had royally screwed up until I seen that there's root and s-off and after reading all of your comments y'all have reassured me ! I hope that development picks up I know the m8 is new but I've been spoiled with the RAZR maxx HD (current phone ) having like every ROM and recovery ported to the thing lol ...rant over thanks
Every smartphone I've owned with the exception of the Razr Maxx HD previous to this one had been an HTC (starting with the WinMo XV6800). HTC keeps producing phones like this I will never stray again.

Great thread. Glad to see people showing some love for this phone. I've had this since launch day. I looked at the S5 when it launched a couple of weeks later. While the screen looks amazing and there are some improvements to Touchwiz, it doesn't compare to the M8.
First time HTC owner here too. Coming from the Galaxy Nexus which i liked but was getting long in the tooth. Learning curve with the HTC to pick up how to do a lot of things but wow, i really am enjoying the smoothness and functionality of this phone!
this phone is amazing in my eyes i have 2 of em one to test roms and one as personal and its fin awesome way better then the S5 i mean really S5 is what its all cracked up to be all we need now is a lifeproof case for our m8s and we'd be golden
HTC will now be the smartphone I've owned the most. I have had the iPhone and the Galaxy but they both fail in comparison next to HTC's M8. Not only is the phone built like a tank its onboard software has been the most aesthetically pleasing out of all the android phones i have used topping stock android. They have managed to tone down the user interface and created a software that in my opinion should be what google strives to be more like. My only wish is that google and HTC would partner up to make the best smartphone together.

True, but you never know what other defects a refurb will have.
That said, I've never understood why people go for giant cases. The shock absorption and protection of a slim TPU case is all you really need to prevent shattering your screen. I've yet to break one.

The slim cases do not offer as much protection. I have a few family members that have cracked their screen with various slim cases.

Diehard Otterbox fan here. I don't mind a little extra bulk, fits better in my hand.
I've gone naked on every smartphone I've owned. They have all been in great condition.

I cannot imagine what sort of drops you'd have to perform to break a screen through a typical lipped TPU case. My GS3 withstood *many* drops on concrete (sidewalk, street, basement) while outfitted with a diztronic TPU case while receiving absolutely no damage. The case got a little dinged up though.
Who knows maybe I'm just lucky!
