I bought just the Platinum Series case that best buy sales it was a very nice case. GPS friendly could still get a lock inside my house, the inside was lined with a velvet like material and it had a very tight fit. The only thing I didnt like about it was the volume and power buttons were exposed, so I took it back and had them order me a Platinum Defense Series case. It has the rubber around it like the otterbox defender series. The guy at the store said you could use it with or without the rubber.Very nice looking cases .... and they also come with a belt clip.
Suppose to be in on Tuesday so I will let yall know how it is.

Rebranded Seidio
Yeah I work at Best Buy and had one for a while, got the Case-Mate Tough Case. It is actually a rebranded Seidio (Innocase) product, and is pretty nice overall. However, the Tough Case is my favorite so far...

I have the Platinum Series, and love it. HIGHLY recommended. If done correctly, when removing the bottom cover of this case, it also removes the sim cover.
I have a platinum case very well designed. Had one for the Captivate too.
Any links to this case?
I have one of these. Pauz. And I reallllyyy like it
For links, go to Best Buy's website and search 'HTC Inspire', they come up.
I have the case and I absolutely love it.
I have this same case and no complaints here.
So I know I posted about this case earlier in the thread... But mine just took a tumble down 4 stairs and slid on the pavement. The case took the beating, and the phone is fine. Well worth every penny spent on it.
+1 here too. I love the case, I ride my motorcycle with the phone clipped to my belt, never worry about losing it.. Nice fit, secure lock into the case..
I highly recommend it.
This case it is useless if ur using it with and screen protector. It does pull the bottom edges on them. I have use both a Clear Coat and an Skinomi with the same result
Since this is a rebranded seidio case can the platinum case be used with the seidio rugged case known now as the convert case.
Pt case
On my Inspire 4G, I have the Pt case, with a Zagg screen cover and they work very well together. I don't feel the same damage prevention security I did with my otter on the iphone, but very close. That being said, I know this phone is not separating from the belt lock down case. With the case had a kickstand tho...since the phone doesn't.

I disagree. I use my case WITH a screen protector. you are being too hasty to put your case on. I was able to reproduce this with mine, but I had to put the casing on pretty quickly to do it.
SIDENOTE: Once you apply your new screen protector, wait 25 minutes or so before putting your case on. This will allow the screen protector to stay adheared to the screen.
Wow, 35 dollars for the same AMAZON sells for 20?

I really like my zagg invisishield.
I ended up going with case mate tough case, and zagg invisible shield, i personally love both.
I love the feel of the zagg on the touch screen, the look, and how protected it is.
And case mate is by far one of the best cases I've used.
The combo is just nice.

I love my CaseMate Tough case. Dropped my vibrant 3g so many times and it did it's job everytime
trident cases
I would like to say that i have tried several cases and rubber bumpers and such but none can compare to the trident case i am now using. It is everything u are looking for in the op! Including a built in screen protector! I got mine from a kiosk at my local mall and the guy there was droping his phone from 8ft off the ground over and over just to show the level of protection these cases offer. I wouldnt go that far and im certainly NOT going to drop my phone on purpose but u get the point. Two of my friends have now gotten trident cases from their website after seeing mine. Google trident cases and check them out! Im pretty sure it will b exactly what u are looking for!
Heh, just posted this in another thread, perhaps it helps...

Pros: inexpensive, thin/snug plastic really keeps the phone thin even with the case on, kickstand folds into the case so it doesn't snag when you pocket it, relatively good looking, get relatively good protection when combined with a screen protector
Cons: doesn't envelop the phone completely so it doesn't protect as well as other cases, a bit on the flimsy side (although I bought a couple in case one breaks)

although it doesnt tell you anywhere in the directions that you need to pull the rubber headphone jack cover through the hard cover to get it to fit properly when you put it on for the first time...
Wow, thanks for the info on the trident cases. I really liked the OtterBox Defender Series a friend has on his Captivate and was a little bummed when I found out they do not make a Defender case for the Vibrant/SGS4G. I ended up picking up the Commuter case which is very nice, but I'm leaning towards the Cyclops Series from Trident now as its along the same lines as the Defender from OtterBox being just a little more rugged. The Aiges Series from Trident looks almost exactly the same as the Commuter from Otterbox.

Same here. I use a CaseMate case coupled with a Zagg screen shield, and it's been great.
Damn, you guys pay a lot for cases. I just go on Ebay and get them for about $2... SHIPPED.
Right now I have a Otterbox Commuter Series for my Desire its a good slim case for protection but sometimes I wanna switch yo something a little more stylish. Does anyone have any suggestions? If so leave a link to where I can find the case.
HTC Desire
This is what i use in conjunction with a martin fields screen protector.

Works brilliantly and stops the phone from being a black brick
I use a case that simply covers the back, edges and corners. It's hard to describe and I can't post an outside link to show, but it basically hugs the edges and corners of the phone, so that it only covers the sides and back.
Mine's crystal clear (I have a decal on my battery cover that I like to be able to see), and these protect the edges and corners without being too bulky. My clear one also provides protection for the decal.
Go custom - get a Casemate slim case and add some stickers / decals to it. I got a few Android stickers from ebay and added them to a Casemate.

Totally agree. This case saved my desire 3 times already (hopefully it didnt fall on the screen side, thanks to the weight difference of the upper part of the phone ).
I've had my desire for over a year now. When I first bought it, I searched ebay for a gel case and some screen protectors. The Gel case only covers the sides and back. The protectors were stuck on and did their job until they were too scratched. Then they inhibit the touch screen function - I noticed this when the screen protectors were so badly scratched it was becomming difficult to see the screen. Since I'm too cheap to buy another £2 batch lot of protectors I've left it off for about 3 months now. There is not a single scratch on the screen.
Also the gel case has provided a very good protection for the rest of the phone. The gel case was shipped from Hong Kong and cost around £5 including shipping. A colleague even found one cheaper. I don't know how they make stuff so cheap over there but the phone is as good as the day it came out of the box.
Just ordered a custom skin from Skinit. It won't offer the amount of protection as my Otterbox but it will stop it from scratching up and add some customization to my device.

I had a flip leather case but it was a bit inconvenient having to open the cover all the time even though it protected the screen so I got different one similar to the ones people use a lot on iPhones, it covers the back and sides but leaves the screen free. I got them on eBay cos it's cheap and there are LOADS to choose from!
i got the PDair leather case, 18.99 on ebay, works great.

I second this. Nokia issued pouches with E66 too. Especially since I don't consider price of this plus shipping costs dirt cheap either.
i used a black back cover meshed bought on netimes.com. On this site I bought also an android neoprene pouch
I have been use the Casemate barely there - which is a great case. But it doesnt protect the top of the phone along where the power button is.
I tend to stick my phone in my pocket and I think my keys over time have scraped the top a bit, with tiny nicks out of phone.
But it has saved my phone a couple of times when I dropped it!
I'm also using Casemate Barely There, real happy with it. A friend of mine has the Casemate Tough Case, it's a bit thicker but does offer a bit more protection.

I would recommend Melkco HTC Desire leather case from Amazon. It's stylish designed and protects well of the entire phone with genuine cowhide leather flip cover as well as the hard leather back cover without blocking the ports, camera. I bought one from them and am very satisfied with the quality and the look.

I bought a Jaka Melko too... so SOPHISTICATED (all hand made)! And very protective. I drop from waist height last week, no scratch at all, phone and leather.
Plus, I have a hard gel case, and the Melkco is exactly the same size, no bulk.
Maybe a little bit expensive (28~30 USD free shipping), but worth all pennies, and it really smells leather when opening box.
I'm still considering which case to choose after having sensation for 1 month
Currently im thinking either Capdase flip leather or Case Mate Touch/Barely There
Capdase look cool, but i doesnt really like flip leather and it may look big n thick
For casemate, it just cover the back panel & sideway, but screen is unprotected(eventhough I have screen protector)
I afraid if i put in my pocket with keys or coins or hit something when i walking
any suggestion?

If putting your phone in your pocket, I suggest a cover of some sort. Screen protectors can only protect so much.

Ive had everything from otterbox cases, seidio cases, and some **** t-mobile ones they throw in. These TPU cases seem to hold up just as good if not better than most, also they dont seem to show wear which is nice. My seidio incase looked like **** after a few months of use and i paid $35 for it shipped vs. $8 for the TPU. All the leather cases look nice for about 2 weeks but with pocket use they noticeably wear and are bulkyyy.
As far as putting in your pocket with keys i wouldn't risk it but my roommate has a sensation and he keeps his in his pocket with his car keys. He has a TPU on it and NO screen protector, hes got a little to much faith in the Gorilla Glass on our phones, only marks hes gotten is around the speaker theres some small scratches from keys.
Best combo ive found is to get a TPU and find a store near by that will professionally install a Zagg or another top brand screen protector. Woodfeild mall by me has a stand that installs Zagg sheilds and ive used them since my G1 days. They arent 100% scratch proof like they all claim to be tho, meaning the screen protector can scratch over time but the important thing your PHONE wont get the scratch. Also Zagg and others similar to them have life long warranties anytime the protector looks a little worn or anything you get a free one to install yourself or its $5 for them to professionally install it. Comes out to around $23 bucks for both and ur phone will be well protected. If your really clumbsy and tend to drop **** i would recommend getting an otterbox commuter case, they add a little bulk but better protection vs. TPU. Only thing with cases like Otterbox's is they have exposed rubber so us pocket users tend to end up with lint alll over the exterior of our cases.
edit: didnt mean for this to be so long just popped a couple addys for class and am in over achiever mode lol hope this helps
Ive just ordered: a black armour case, some 3m di-noc to wrap it and a zagg screen protector all for under £20 !($30)
Will report back with pics soon in a new thread
I've got a case-mate barely there (the white flavor) and a Martin Fields screen protector.
Thanks a lot
Well would you go for cover type (eg case-mate) or flip leather type ?
I bought 3 different cases for my HTC Sensation, 2 Case-Mate and one a relatively unknown brand Momax. Links below.
As for Momax, i bought it on eBay for USD$11.99 and i must say i am happy with the purchase. The TPU is thinner than the Case-Mate Gelli Case and there's holes which didn't show up on the Case-Mate. It fits the Sensation nicely and most of the time i am using the Momax case compared to the other 2 Case-Mate cases.
As i am a user who have not posted anything before, i am not allowed to post the URL for Momax casing. Do a search at eBay for ioomobile.
I found my cheap silicone case works really well, even with the phone residing in my pocket most of the time (No screen protector)
Do find I clean my screen most nights as it does get dirty throughout the day
Got it from amazon uk for £2.00 (Cant find the actual product though)
Loving my smoke grey TPU case. Highly recommended.

+1 for the TPU case. I've got the black one and it really ads very minimal bulk with a lot more peace of mind for protection.
I've got this Incipio case and I LOVE it. It's a TPU style, with a matte finish so it's not tacky in your pocket nor does it get oily/fingerprints. I also pushed my phone off of my desk the other day and it landed square on its face. The case lip kept the screen from getting f**ked.

How do you like the neo hybrid. I ordered the same one. Is the rubber really soft or is it a firm rubber that won't really stick in your pocket?

God I was hoping iwouldbt see this. You do realize when you say "sexy" in reference to a phone case it immediatelymakes me think of glasses and a pocket protector right? How about cases are not sexy....ugh
This is the Black Otter Box Symmetry
Dont really like it. The power button is sort of hard to press, and the bottom ports are not covered.
However it does fit snug, and feels good in the hand. Edge screens are fully in view, and easy to access.
I'm waiting for the clear case to arrive next week. The only way to show off its attractive, premium design.
One of the BEST cases (maybe it is actually the best)
After shopping around almost all day yesterday and checking out a lot of cases I have
found that only one case meets my requirements.
I wanted good protection but did not want the case to look like it's made for a war zone!
The other cases were either flimsy, hardly any real protection and some of them were not precision enough
to allow the usb cable to plug into the phone easily without having to wiggle/jiggle the usb cable connector.
Also I did not want to get a two piece case which adds a lot of bulk without adding a lot of extra protection.
So finally I found this Otter Semmetery case which alleviated all my concerns. ($49.95)
This Otter case does not interfere with the phone's Edge panel at all, not even
slighty. (which was not the case when checking out a lot of the other cases.)
It's a one piece case but it is a lot sturdier than any of the two piece cases I checked out.
The material it's made out of is not the easily bendable TPU but it's no where near as stiff
as the hard plastic cases. It's somewhere around half as flexible when compared to the TPU.
Another plus is that the inside of the case feels like it has a soft rubber coating.
Here are some pictures of the case:
Have a great day!
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.

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.
