Favorite phone cases?

Just recently got the otterbox phone case for desire hd since they don't have one for inspire, its not as bulky and protective looking as the ones for iPhones and hate how the little rubber flap that covers the earpeice plugin and charger is loose.
Anyone have a good recommendation for a cover? I've already seen a shattered inspire screen and it scares me buddy told me he dropped it from like knee length to ground

I've got the Otterbox Commuter on mine and love it; if you want something with more protection, get the Otterbox Defender. And as far as the protective flap, I just sliced it off with a razor blade; just do it while the case is on and use the plastic as a guide.

Don't think they offer anything but the commuter case which is also what I have

I just bought a Speck case (at -- cough, cough, choke -- full retail at the AT&T store) but it is great! It feels soft enough to hold onto without it oozing out of my hand, but is actually pretty tough.
Like almost every case, it takes away from the sleekness of the naked phone but not so much so I feel I'm holding a brick. It also fits absolutely perfectly in every respect. I especially like the barely discernible lip all the way around the screen which should help protect the screen in case of a face-down fall.

The Desire HD Defender Case will work for the Inspire 4G despite what they say. You just have to modify/remove the clear plastic flash covering for the 2nd microphone. I have one for my Inspire and fits like a glove.

The eBay "wave" case. $4 shipped. Takes awhile to get it, its coming from China, but worth the wait.
I returned a $30 body glove and a seido (sp?, from best buy). This one was better. Covers the camera area, fits snug, and has that rough texture that makes it easy to get a good grip, down the sides where your palm and fingers contact the phone when holding it.
Seriously. Best four bucks I've ever spent.
There's a separate thread here talking about this case, don't have the link handy.

I have the Best Buy Platinum case which is nothing more than a rebranded Seido Innocase II. I LOVE IT! Comes with a belt clip as well. The best part is it makes the whole phone feel sturdier (if that's possible). Slips in and out of pocket easy as well. The lip on the front makes it possible to pull phone out of pocket (unless tight jeans) without accidentally answering or hanging up on the call. The back lines up with the outer most part of the camera lens, thus the phone is all one thickness. I think this makes it easier to hold. Just slap a full face screen protector on the front before putting on the case and you're good to go.

I'm using the Case-mate. Similar to otterbox with a inner rubber liner and outer hard shell. I like the texture of the hard outer shell as it makes it easier to grip phone but still slides into pocket.

Case-mate tough, is also good. I love mine.

I have the same case. I got it from seidio though. I agree with everything you said. It's very nice and will protect the phone.

Best hard case for sensation 4g?

When I bought my sensation I also bought the body glove case with the belt clip but as most of you know the case was leaving indentations on the back cover. Body glove sent me a replacement but the new ones fits very loose.
So which case do you guys recommend I purchase to replace my body glove case? I prefer hard cases over the soft tpu type cases everybody likes. I also prefer that the case has some sort of rubber or leather type material on the back. I may consider the two piece slider cases if it looks nice.
So I'm open to any suggestions. I haven't seen many threads about hard cases. Please if you can post a picture as well
Thanks

It seems like a really nice case but I personally don't like the plain and smooth look.

How about this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/4-x-New-Mesh-Hard-Case-Cover-HTC-Sensation-G14-/230640628333
I ordered a set. They're snap on cases, and doesn't protect the top/bottom, also they're flimsy Just a nice looking colored mesh back cover.

I was given one of those cases (the black one) for free by the woman (in China) I bought the phone from.. I looked and saw that dude on eBay has sold 66 sets of 4 cases for $9.99 each and given free shipping to all. I figured he's made $500 from all this because the cases only cost 5RMB each (like $0.80).. good work to him.. damn I need to move to HK haha

Wait for either Otterbox or Trident to release their cases. Ive had Otterbox previously and love their work and Trident cases look badass but havent used one yet, will probably by my next purchase when their available (1-2 weeks)

Looove the tough cases by them.
Although I wanted something different because I spent a long time with one on my nexus one... time to change it up.
Was gonna go for Incipio's similar hybrid style but they dont have it yet for the sensation

Anyone know of a case like the case-mate tough case or otterbox but on a budget? Can't afford to buy a $30-$49 case right now but I want something with protection, not a tpu case.

nillkin one ,check ebay uk or other marketplace

I got one of these off ebay. For $1.79AUD delivered I am very happy. Pretty good quality really. Protects the front and back and It has all the mic holes too.
It comes with a front piece and and a back piece that clip together.

Iv used the ROCK case, nice and slips on the easiest.

Best Case for Sensation( slimest and less bulky)

Do you guys know where i can find the slimest case for the sensation...I have the one for tmobile. Makes the phone bulky...Love the sexy body on the sensation looking for case that would be the slimest on it...

I have the Case-Mate Barely There Case in CHROME.
Slim & fit. Best Case for me

ive had so many different cases. honestly TPU is the way to go, i choose it over my $35 sedio. Its thin, cuts are all right, protects the phone, and looks good. Cant go wrong for the price either

any of these cases affect the signals?

Don´t know where to buy in your country but why you are not using a bag like this:
http://www.amazon.de/Bugatti-EasyCl...QZPI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1312494688&sr=8-4
so everytime you use it its not bulky but in your pocket its also safe

I just got my tpu smoke case. Fits the phone perfect. However it slightly degrades wifi signal and the usb cutout is small. Usb cable wont snap perfectly when u insert it but still functions well. Thats my only gripe about this case.

Just ordered the TPU black case, should get it sometime next week. I stopped using the bulky T-Mobile rubber case, which picks up a lot of lint.

I prefer a sleeve-type case, and the best one out there is from Sena Cases.
http://www.senacases.com/htc-cases/sensation-4g/ultraslim/
It's a high quality, nice-feeling case and it barely makes the phone any thicker. I had one for a couple of years for my Milestone, and the Sensation version was the first accessory that I ordered.

got it this one....its very nice....you have no worry if you accidentally drop your phone...

Otterbox or body glove?

Hey guys, recently got my g2 and looking for a good case for it. Ive narrowed it down to these two. Which case do you guys prefer?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Otterbox. They have great customer service too

I'm using body glove on both my desire z and on sensation.
It's amazing on desire but sucks on sensation...
Never used an otterbox, but never heard any complain either.
I got the body glove because it was way cheaper...

I've had both, and the Otterbox gets my vote. The Body Glove looked nice, but it did not last long at all. I guess you get what you pay for. I still have my Otterbox and it's going strong after 5 months of use. The only downsides are that Otterbox tends to add a lot of bulk to an already not-so-slim phone. The walls of this thing are THICK, so at least the bulk has a purpose in protecting the heck outta your G2. Another downside is the back part of the Otterbox is slick, so if you're not careful, your phone may slip out of your hand like a brick until you get used to it. Plus I like the raised power button and volume rocker, along with protectors over the 3.5mm jack and charging/USB port. Otterbox all the way.

If between the two, otter box.
If between all, g1 slip sock case

otterbox because my body glove tore apart.

I was disappointed when my Otterbox broke after only about 3 months, but all I did was send them an E-mail saying what happened and they sent me a new one with no cost to me.

can you post links for the cases?

I ended up getting the otterbox and i'm lovin' it.

Thank you!

Fishbone case on amazon ftw!

It's all personal preference, but I had the otterbox and didn't like it. The outside is all plastic, makes it slide more and less comfortable to hold. After trying a couple I finally decided I liked the tmobile gel case the best. It's like the otterbox turned inside out, there's a hard rubber on the outside with a rigid plastic frame inside. It actually makes the volume and power buttons easier to use, and covers better than the body glove case you're thinking of. Plus it's cheaper than the otterbox.

I saw the gel cases in the store the other day and was thinking about buying one, but I didn't since I already have an otterbox case

I have an otterbox and i like it, but i must be careful while removing the case because it can make my phone scratched

OTTERBOX! I love mine.

I got this one from Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045EI356/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
It's like a rubberized plastic so it has a rugged feel to it and it grips really well. Only complaint is that you don't have as much space around the trackpad so you can't use it as easily. Not bad for 3 bucks though.

Bought an otterbox awhile ago. The quality is quite nice, but you'll have to be careful if you're removing it from your phone, already got quite big cracks v.v

I've got the Otterbox and saved my DZ twice now when I dropped it

otterbox really looks nice

[Q] Good Holster WITHOUT Case?

Anyone know of a good holster for the Sensation that does not also require a bumper case? I was looking at the Seidio Active holster, and I liked the way it looked (glass-in, etc), but frankly I don't want to cover up my Sensation in some fugly plastic-and-gel combo, and the Active holster apparently needs the Active case to go with it. Are there any others out there?

I was looking for the same the last few months, but gave up. I luv'd the seidio holster that had protected my bare Nexus1!

Look at the Reiko holsters. The one I got for my HD2 works just as well for my Sensation
