case for DHD

hi,
can any of you guys please give me advice which case should i buy the case-mate pop or otterbox commuter.... the otterbox commuter seems nice but case-mate looks nicer more but at the same time it makes the DHD much bigger right? so if any of you guyz owns both that could give me the pros and cons of both of the cases thanks

Have a read of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819651
I went for a Casemate Barely There when I first got the DHD. But, I didnt think it gave quite enough protection.
I have just ordered a Casemate Pop from Amazon, being delivered tomorrow.
As far as I could tell, the Pop gave less bulk than the Commuter - but thats only looking at the reviews.

I have the case mate pop and case mate tough. If you want a good grip get the case mate tough, I still prefer the case mate tough which is a dual case (silicon and hard) over the pop.

I have the Otterbox Commuter and its not really bulky at all, in fact less than the silicone case I had. Offers very good protection and the volume and power buttons are very easy to use.
The USB and headphones socket has a nice cover, which stops fluff and other pocket stuff getting in the holes
Well worth the 17.99 from play.com, just wish I bought it first, as I've spent money on other cases!

Some people say that otterbox feels like it will fall off the device. And also is the screen well protected, raised from the table if resting on the screen. What is the material like, is it slippery and is it easy to scrach. Are there any problems that you noticed, and do you think that otterbox commuter case is worth its money ?
Thanks

The case will not fall off! It is raised at the edges so will offer protection if you lay it face down. The plastic feels fine, not dropped it yet though. Worth the money? Definitely cheaper than replacing the phone, although I'm sure it cost a lot less than 17.99 to make!
I would definitely buy another commuter case for my next phone

I got the otterbox case as soon as it came out and the plastic hard case has broken near the bottom above the charger/headphone flap. Anyone else had this problem? keen to buy try case-mate this time around. Otterbox's whole ordering system was such a pain

I have the commuter case and I quite like it. I feel much better about carrying my beloved phone around with it on. I don't think it makes the phone bulky. Actually I think it improves the way the phone feels in your hand ALOT. You really notice it when you write in landscape mode. It fits much better into your hands and it makes a better writing experience.
The outer plastic layer feels very tough, and I think it will be hard to make a visible scratch on. The silicone layer inside wraps around the phone nicely and does the job with protecting the screen when you put it screen down/drop it screen down... BUT the silicone wrapping feels a bit thin, and the one at the bottom of the phone is a pain in the ass. It will definitly fall off in the end. It's very loose and my finger keeps lifting it up when I swipe my finger into it...
SO I baught a Case-Mate tough case. I havent received it yet so I can't say much about it, but it looks badass.

I have CM Pop - he like scratches...

is there anyone that has both the otterbox commuter and the case-mate pop so he could tell me which one makes the device bigger. and also i wanted to ask if otterbox commuter is the same thing as case-mate tough -same size.. tnx

I saw comparison Pics of the commuter and the Pop and the Pop Case makes the DHD a lot bigger! It looks nice but I don´t want a bulky smartphone so yesterday I ordered the Otterbox Commuter.( and the Defender..which actually makes the phone bulky but I want to see how the screenprotector works )

my recommendation is case-mate barely there .. it has no bulk , but is low on protection.. you get screen protector with it ..
my friend's phone drop with case-mate barely there , it landed on concrete and not a scratch.

I love the otterbox commuter! Makes the device feel better when holding it. There's no way in hell that this case will fall off if you drop the phone

the pop case is better imo, snug fit and a nice color scheme!

Dont buy cheep china cases they colored your phone

I have an Otterbox Defender, that turns the phone into a real monster of mobile communication. It's very big and heavy, so it's not suitable for all people. But if you use your Phone for outdoor activities, there's no better case.

I also can recommend the Case Mate barely there. The screen protector is very good.

Barely there is a very nice one. I've used it for quite a while, but now i prefer my htc kickstand case with leather finish. Looks great, slightly thicker and heavier than barely there.
O and why stick a piece of plastic on a screen that doesnt need protection in the first place

Best Slim Case?

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.

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.

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

Best Case Out There

So I have this crappy Amazon $4 case, from eforcity crap.
Anyways, dropped it today in a urinal at school (whoops), and the case broke into the two pieces that it was. Pretty crappy case obviously.
Anyways, I have some money, want to get a better case since I'll have this phone for two years and so.
Case Mate Pop appeals to me, but I can't find any good comments here.
Case Mate Tough appeals too, but Pop is cooler.
Otterbox Defender is okay, too fat for my tastes.
Any other ideas? What are you using?

I'm using the Case Mate Barely There Case. i dont like bulk, and it protects my phone enough without sacrificing sexiness

I bought an Otterbox Commuter and like it a lot. It doesn't add a whole lot of bulk and feels really sturdy. Haven't dropped the phone yet, but sure this case would hold up if I did.

Ewwww? Inside it? Anyway....
For protection: http://www.otterbox.com/htc-inspire-4g-cases/htc-inspire-4g-cases,default,sc.html
I wont buy a phone unless Otterboxes are available. Period. I always keep multiple cases, and this is what I buy for protection.
For the "barely there" factor: http://www.myincipio.com/HTC-Inspir...nspire-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
These are very nice and extremely thin, but offer no protection for drops and bumps, besides scratching from in-out of pocket, etc.
These are better than the Caes-Mate barely there (imo). Nicer texture and quality.
You already know about the POP, so I wont go into depth there, but I prefer this to the POP: http://www.speckproducts.com/smart-phone-cases/htc-inspire-cases.html
They look way better to me (but scratch easy, but so would the POP) and come in a variety of colors. I have an Atrix, and they only make black which makes me so jealous of you guys . These offer a nice combo of the "Style" "Protection" and "Slimness".
I would go with this if you don't like the Otterbox, but want protection.
You have this for a nice protective silicone case: http://tridentcases.com/product_57_73.html
They are a new Otterbox-like brand but offer a variety of colors for EVERY phone.
Most comparable to a Feather or Barely there: http://www.rearthusa.com/HTC-Inspire-4G_p_155.html
They are brand new and i'm sure if you asked, they would send you a free one in turn for a review. I love the combo of TPU and silicone with this case. I'm currently using it as my main for my Atrix (in true blue). It doesn't offer much protection, but looks great and doesn't attract lint like the Trident case would or other Silicone cases.
Lastly: http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/5493.htm
Just look through the 3 options they offer. One for protection, one for a combo of protection and style and one for just the thin factor. Seidio has great cases. I'd go with the Active Combo if you like the POP case
I don't care much for Case-Mates hard cases. They aren't as nice as other options. I would buy a CandyShell or Active Combo over the POP, but that's just me
The rest of case-mate's offerings: http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Inspire-4G-Cases/HTC-Inspire-4G-Cases.asp
Good luck with your decision. Hope I helped.

I have a pop and tough. Thought the tough is slimmer, it offers less protection. The hard surface does not wrap around the corner completley. Regardless, I like the tough. I just wish they made the outer shell in other colors...this leads to the pop case...
The pop case comes in different colors. This is highly appealing to me. The phone now stands out as I have the light blue pop case. No more trying to find the darn phone. With a black case it just seems to blend in almost camouflaged. The pop case is also probably 1mm thicker that the tough.
Currently I have the tough case on the phone...the pop case watching, and the seidio active/holster combo on the way.

The speck candyshells they sell at ATT store are really nice. I'm using one and it makes the phone feel very secure.

I have always used the Otterbox Defender series cases with my phones as they are the toughest most rugged out there. Otterbox just recently updated the Defender for the Inspire (previously they said it would only work for the Desire but made some modifications to it for the Inspire - their words not mine!).
Good luck!

So I have spent literally a month searching for a nice case for the Inspire 4G, I'm so jealous of the iPhone having all the cool looking cases, there's barely any for any other phone...The barely there ones are nice, but tha'ts about it.
Then I stumbled upon this one:
http://www.accstation.com/chtcdesisc06.html
I ordered it right away, loved the design, looks cool, translucent (they offer black too!) and was thrilled when I got it. It's great quality, not overly thick or bulky, the sides have a grip you have to try for yourself, and the cutouts are 99% acurate- covers the camera lens perfectly...the only thing that is a little tough to reach is the unlock/power button, but that's the phones fault- it is too recessed. The feel of it is great, and looks sharp! Best of all it's only $6.99 Definitely recommend it.

What is the Best Skyrocket Case?

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 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.

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?

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..

What is the thinnest case available?

I really dislike using any case at all on my phones. I've never used them in the past. But this phone is just so darned slippery, a case is practically necessary to keep from dropping it all the time. So right now I'm using the Diztronic case, and while it is quite thin, it still IMHO adds significantly to the phone's size. Are there any cases that are more just like a thin skin? I am not looking for any drop protection; just looking to make the back of the phone less slippery. I suppose some kind of sticker could also do the job...
Any ideas appreciated. TIA!

Might want to check out ghost armor or something like a full body skin. Basically a screen protector but for your whole phone.
Or check out the incipio feather or one of the barely there cases.

Full body skins are a terrible idea and a recipe for destroying your phone by corrosion, especially on a device with a sealed battery like this one.
Use an HTC hard case or something similar. They are very light and thin, but they will also easily break if you take it off and put it back on many times.

I use the diztronic case and it adds almost no bulk yo the phone at all.

Body glove makes a nice thin case. I bought one at walmart for $20ish.

Thinnest cases are these thin shell cases. I have the black one and it's really thin and doesn't hide the beauty of the phone.

I have both the black one and the transparent one.
They are really thin and add minimum bulk to the phone. However, they also barely protect the phone at all, probably only good for keeping the back of the phone from scratches.
At the back, the case is level with the red/blue ring around the camera lens, i doubt it protects the lens at all.
The transparent one has a frosted feel and is still pretty slippery, but it's better than without a case at all.
I would recommend the black one as it gives a rubbery texture and it's pretty grippy.
Overall i love how the cases manage to give me minimum protection and bulk.
i chose the One S over the X partly due to it's thiness, so i bought these cases to keep it that way.
Cheers!

nice

It really seems to be the thinnest one. However, I haven't seen the "perfect" case yet. I hope someday someone will do it...

I really want a nillkin but I just can't get myself to pay $20 for something I am sure I will end up not using.

only found them on amazon and they will not ship to Canada; any other source?

I've used one of the inexpensive (sub $5) mesh cases off eBay. Extremely thin, feels great in the hand, but quality could be better. Then again I paid three bucks for it.
Dust definitely gets behind the case through all the holes, but I'm willing to deal with that to get the additional heat dissipation for those times when it gets toasty. I just wish I could find a vented TPU case instead of this hard rubberized plastic.

For that price you could the HTC kickstand case that looks just like it. If it is out yet that is.

Not the thinnest but pretty darn thin and close enough for the price and great protection is the Cruzerlite, also buy 2 get the third free! I keep coming back to this case
