Hey guys, just broke my HD2 and switched to the G2 and I'm looking for some cheap but good accesories. What have you guys found and liked so far?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
what kind of acessories are you looking for?
Pretty much anything from cases, mounts, etc. To screen protectors, misc. Stuff, etc.
Mainly I'm just learnin the lay of the land for this thing since I was on the pandoras bo...er I mean hd2 for a long time now.

Well if you get am otterbox, it comes with an awesome screen protector.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I personally like the bodyguardz brand skin for protection.
Currently using the otterbox. Feels great and worth the price but know that you must not take the case on and off repeatedly. Only do it when u need it
Dock wise, go ebay. It's ur best bet
Mounts wise, you'll have to go universal.
That's all i can tell u off the top of my head

Thanks, ill probably go with an otterbox because I loved the one I used with my iphone back in the day. Unless...does it have that same rubbery finish which makes fuzz and lint stick to it like glue?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
it's plastic finish. there is a silicone lining inside that makes life awesome when you need to access your volume control or power button. it also provides cover for open ports (headphones and power) so it's a good thing it's there.
Oh wow that literally sounds perfect. Ill order one this week I think.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Sure, but as i said, once you put the case on, try not to take the case on and off often or you will break a few teeth (on the case) and might scratch your phone if you're not careful.

Sounds good. Thanks for the input!!

As far as a car mount goes, I tried a cheap one off eBay and it didn't last very long. I found a Bracketron universal mount at Best Buy, well worth the $20. It's lasted me a few months so far, with no signs of breaking.
Case-mate barely there gets my vote. Otterboxes are just overpriced. Also the case-mate is removable without damaging your phone or the case itself.

I had a few other cheap cases in the past that broke on me from taking them on and off, but this one is pretty dam good. Gives good protection and you can take it off no problem with out breaking the clips. It looks just like the case mate but is less then 1/4 the price, overall it does the job and won't hurt the pockets.
Hey i have got the same HTC Desire Z with the same ROM and build number, its locked to vodafone australia though. Have you been able to root that firmware version. I tried the methods on the posts and cyanogen and they dnt seem to work for my version. have you been able to root your version? If so please help
Body glove case for our phones recall!!!
They told me no one bought them. And they needed that space for the Sensation and galaxy phone.
What's up with that?
Its an overpriced pos that's what
Sent from my Canadian g2x, eh?
Plus once you put it on its impossible to take it off without leaving a scuff or mark...pos indeed.

Any idea where the recall info is. Googled it. Got nothing
From WAL-MART they pulled it from shelves the only one they have is the gel case on clearance and when those are done. They are not having any case for our phones made by body glove.
I wonder why???
You can still get it other places.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Could it simply be that Wal Mart doesn't want to do business with Body Glove anymore? My local T-mobile still carries the cases.

dumbest thread title.
There 2 different cases from body glove for the G2x, you are only talking about Walmart but don't say that. Nothing was recalled, which means the factory does not want them back.
Basically you are saying a store stopped carrying a case, a store with limited shelf space, and a ton of phones to deal with.
The body glove grasp case is excellent, if you can find it.

I'm surprised the above posters think it's a POS. I have a Body Glove and I think it's the best case for our phone. Great protection without sacrificing looks. Doesn't add much bulk... Makes the g2x feel great in hand. Love the cushioned inside to prevent any scratches or nicks while the phone is in the case. It's also not hard to remove either. There's a "slot" on the bottom right of the case. Stick a quarter in and twist.... Quick, easy and no damage done while removing.
I'd recommend it

I'm surprised you DON'T think it's a POS. I bought 2 of them thinking body glove had to be the best case for the phone. It DOES however add bulk to the phone. I will agree it felt better in the hand. Not hard to remove using the "quarter" method BUT the top part of the case is flimsy and will break after a few removals. Ever accidentally drop your phone with this "best case available"? I have, the case pops off and the phone flies out and gets chewed up. The best part of this is that when I dropped my phone I was bent over and the phone was 2 feet off the ground and actually hit my foot BEFORE hitting the ground.
BAD CASE, HUGE MISTAKE PURCHASING IT. NEVER AGAIN
Ive had this case since I bought my phone and at first it was a little hard to take off. After having to pull the battery out early on the case didn't hold up very well and ended up breaking. Im on my second and its already broke but it does protect the phone very well.

There is no recall. I spoke to the store manager. They told me they pulled it off the shelf to make for cases of newer phones they carry.
The first person I spoke to was a regular employee and I see now he did not know what was going on.
THANK YOU!!!
WITH THAT SAID. THAT ENDS OUR BROADCAST DAY.

I'm with you on this case, I have one as well and it has to one of the best cases I've used and I like how once you get it on its kinda difficult to get off not unless you use the slot like truplay mentioned, it comforts me that if I drop my phone the case won't pop off like a lot of 2 piece cases do.
I recommend it as well

there are 3 Body Glove cases
The two piece sold everywhere include T-Mobile
The Grasp which is a high grade TPU with some silicon fused to it somehow.
And the Silicon one you are saying at Staple.
All three exist on Ebay, and the Silicon is different than the grasp.
The Grasp has the diagonal lines which is an easy way to identify. It sell for like 8 bucks new on ebay last time I looked.
My First Impressions:
-DOES NOT ADD BULK TO THE PHONE.
-Fits snug around phone.
-Adds a nice firm grip to the device.
-Perfect cut-outs for all ports
-There are no cut-outs for the POWER & VOLUME ROCKERS, but the material still has the springy feeling so you don't have to press hard.
-Nice black glossy design going around the case, with a smoke grey clear back to show off GALAXY S BRANDING.
-Easy to put on & take off.
**MOST IMPORTANTLY**
The lip on the case adds a gap between the screen and surfaces just in case you drop the device face down it will prevent scratches or possibly cracking.
I will definitely be ordering the Clear Back. There are also Red & Blue Backing Available.
I like this case. Being as though it is my first choice I am not disappointed with the material or fit of it. Also i received my case in 4 days. Nice packaging and shipping method.

No problem. I'm so use to how the case feels that when I removed it to do a batt pull the blaze felt a little lighter than usual. I love the feel the the battery cover.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using XDA Premium App
So my case came in, and I foolishly believed the back part was white, when infact was transparent lol. So I kept the phone paper that came in the cover, cut the holes accordingly, then drew my customization on the white back part. The results are attached.
The cover has a good fit, but I've seen better. The feel quality is not cheap, but I've felt better covers.

I might have to try something like this. I bought a case off Amazon that is sort of a two parter. Internal plastic shell with a rubbery outer covering. Solid case but it tripled the width on this bad boy.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
It's a good solid case. Barely any bulk.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I love the protection my case offers but the added bulk is driving me nuts! I couldn't take it anymore so I ordered this case. While I'm waiting for delivery I'm temporarily putting my phone in the rubber skin case I bought for it similar to the one that came with my HD2 a couple years ago.
Everyone here seems to like this case and it's at an excellent price point.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Glad everyone likes it
Got my case today and I love it so far! It's the perfect blend between the rubbery skins and the plastic hard cases. Very little bulk added and they did an excellent job of cutting the holes for access to all of the ports.
They did a good job of making the usb port plenty large enough. On the rubbery skin I was using they cut the hole a little too small. It was big enough for the silver part to fit but not large enough for the black part so it would keep falling out.
The one minor complaint I have is that, while they are "springy" as previously described, the power and volume rockers aren't raised enough on the sides of the phone. They need to stick out a little bit further to they can be found and pressed easier by touch IMHO.
Overall I would give it an A-

Damn, good deal. I paid around 25-30$ from ATT when I had mine (this exact one). Very good case, imo.
Only downfall.. over time, the sides started warping out.

I have this case myself and bought it for $10 used. The sides by the power and volume buttons do tend to "warp" a bit, but maybe an 8th of an inch. Very slim and durable case that will take a beating. I highly recommend it, my wife wants one lol.

Just got mine, too. Looks great, but...how the heck do you put this thing on and take it off? It's a very tight fit, and it doesn't seem to be a two-piece case.

It's a good case no doubt, but the rubber is a little tacky and really affects pocketability. I bought one a long time ago (full price) and never usr it.

I stopped using it and put my "old reliable" (a Diztronic TPU) back on. I can't get over how it honestly feels like you're about to snap your phone in half when putting it in or taking it out of the case.
The case is pretty fantastic. Scary if you need to take the phone out for a battery pull. Feels like I'm going to bend my phone and break it getting this thing off lol. I scored this and a Moshi screen protector for $5 too. BEST SCREEN PROTECTOR EVER. Anti-glare, anti-fingerprint, I'd pay full price for another one.

They should also be on sale on the att website unless it ran out. I remember seeing it there 2 days ago
Just put a Moshi on my Rocket tonight. Quick, easy install. Considering how thick it is, I'm not sure that I should be using tight-fitting TPUs anymore (very concerned they'll damage the edges), but since I've got a new non-TPU case on the way and have plenty of the looser-fitting mesh hybrids lying around, I think I'm set. My wife wants one for her Rocket, too. First screen protector I've tried that she's ever gone, "Whoa, I want one of those."

Agree
wouldn't even put it on even if they gave it free with the box it looks weird
way over priced.
Couldn't agree more with this, was really looking forward to this case but I'd re-packaged it back up for a return within ten minutes. For the price of it it really is very poor, in fact I wouldn't use it for any price.
I've switched to a Spigen screen protector and one of their neo hybrid cases. Great combo.

It's definitely over priced buy people were finding deals for 30 which is a much more reasonable price.
And there was a thread on this already explaining that the case not closing all the way was a common issue that would go away with a couple days of breaking in.

As above, it will loosen up soon. Mine is shutting more and more by the hour
Also found it very pricy (Paid £38 before launch) and feel I need a case for a case just to protect the more expensive one but anyway
are you guys not getting smudge marks on the window? inside and out?
question about this case when taking pics or recording video, does it bother you guys much?
I've seen one also in the Samsung kiosk in Best Buy, and I have to agree they are crap. It doesn't seem to close properly, and for something that feels that cheap and basic, it shouldn't be $60. And I agree with someone above - I wouldn't use them even if they were free.
Yeah I have one too and not happy with it. Think long term too, this thing is going to cause some crazy screen burn on that HD amoled.
What were Samsung thinking... Oh wait yeah $$$$$$ ....
