What case do you use?

I use a Bodyglove clear case I got at my local T-Mobile store. It's actually a Vibrant case, but it's a perfect fit. It also has a kickstand, which I love (perfect for watching videos.)
Edit: This is the one I was talking about.

I have the body glove and love it... gives the phone a little more size and the rubber coating really provides grip, love the kick stand when I have to use the belt clip, but it's mostly in my pocket or on the desk.

Same case. Love it.

I'm using a power-skin case. It charges my battery up to four times. Until I charge the power-skin up. So if my phone dies, it will keep my phone alive for 4 extra hours until I can charge it.

Otterbox = Best case ever!

SGP Ultra Slider Case!

Otter Box fits it perfectly love it

+1 To all the OtterBox lovers. It gives you the best of both worlds. Soft rubber inner lining so it don't scratch it like the plastic ones do, and a hard candy shell... mmmm... candyy... sorry got distracted. But even with the 2 layers it doesn't really add that much to the thickness of the phone. Perfectiona! I'm an Idiot.

I use Trident "Cyclops" Case, It is a awesome case for protection.

I run it naked no case lol

Otterbox Commuter - got an Otterbox for my old Blackberry and it saved it multiple times, wouldn't get anything less for this phone (and the case is awesome).

trident case
+1 on the trident case. when i got mine the guy at the store was repeatedly dropping his phone frm 8ft off the ground just to show the protection level. I would never recomend pushing your cases capabilities like this but none the less i was sold after that! U guys should check out there website (google trident cases) the KRAKEN is a beast!

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

How does the kickstand last over time and being dropped?

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.

Here it is.

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.

Orderd this one with the blue backing. Real nice, and durable. Phone is really protected without adding too much bulk.

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

I had one of those for my droid x. I liked it for the first week or so and then I got the vzw carbon fiber case

I've been very really happy with my incipio feather case. I like the "rubber-like back," and out just thick enough to protect the camera lens, which is all I was really concerned about.

Seidio > Otterbox

Looks like Seidio and Otterbox will both be releasing protection for our Sensation 4G devices real soon. IMO, Seidio provides a better product than Otterbox. I've used both, and Seidio to me just seems more stylish for the protection (I'll be buying the Active combo).
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/6207.htm

Is there an eta on these? I also was the active combo.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

Pretty sure that by the end of this month there will be something... well that's what I hope for.
I'll be going with SURFACE, not that bulky.

They usually have something ready for purchase within a couple of weeks after putting up the "coming soon" spot.

glad to see these companies finally take notice to this device. ill be picking up the otterbox. had one for my nexus and liked it a lot. normally i dont have a handset long enough for some of these companies to put out a quality case (besides the generic gel ones)

I considered otter, but need a holster for work.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

I also prefer Seidio...

Been waiting for Seidio...hope to see something real soon

I had seidio on my nexus one and liked it alot since it was the case and the holder. Am curious about otterbox but don't want anything too bulky.
Will probably just stick with seidio since I used them before.

I got the Gelli case from Case Mate and love it. I was worried about it feeling cheap but it's not at all - it's very firm and streamlined and looks nice without adding bulk. It also covers the volume rocker and power buttons which is good cause the crooked power button was really annoying me; it makes it feel more solid.

I've used Seidio for a few years now. I like their products but build quality doesn't look as good as Otterbox. Otterbox makes bulkier cases that are more expensive. Seidio is a step up from ebay generic junk. The only reason I haven't bought anything from Otterbox is that I usually have to take my phones out of their cases to use car docks (HTC OEM docks) and that takes too long with Otterbox.

i hope they built a good case this time because the case they built for the mytouch 4g was horrible!

I love Seidio's InnoCases with their awesome spring-clip belt clip. Can't wait.

Weird the black Active cases aren't ready yet, but the other colored ones are.

Just ordered the Sapphire Blue Active Combo with the 15% discount. I really want the Trident Aegis but the holster seals the deal cuz I hate stuff (except money) in my pockets.

All cases are now live fellas! Dont forget the summer11 code for 15%. Black Active combo...here I come!

and no TPU in the case.

Which case should I buy?

I'm upgrading to an Inspire soon and I was wondering if I should get a silicone case or a plastic case. I didn't have a case on my Aria (which I'm using right now) and the screen is shattered so I decided to buy a case. So which case is better? Which can protect the phone better and which one would you prefer (as Inspire users) looks better? Thanks

So far my favorite is the otterbox commuter. I plan to buy the defender soon to see how I like it.

It does add some bulk. That's why I like the commuter. It doesn't have as much protection, but it also doesn't have too much bulk. It kind of meets in the middle.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk

i highly recommend anything made by otterbox, everything they have gives great protection to your phone, believe me, ive dropped my phone too many times and so far nothing bad or drastic has occured.

Been using the Platinum series from best buy since the phone was released. If I'm not mistaken, it's the same as the surface combo by Seidio. Dropped it a couple of times, no damage. Screen is covered by the holster.

I personally use the qmadix case that i got from my work, and its been great coupled with my invisi-shield screen protector.

Case mate pop I have the commuter, but prefer the case mate pop

Seidio CONVERT Combo for HTC Inspire 4G
Its makes the phone huge but i drive alot and I made a clip holder in truck to use navi and music. It has 3 Layers plus the clip. I payed $50 and now it like $35 at bestbuy.

I need a really thin case. What do you guys recommend?
Posted with my model confused HTC Inspire via XDA premium.

Otterbox Defender all the way is my choice. Does make phone a little bulky but as clumsy as I am I dropped it already 3 times and as pricey as this phone is I dont care about outside looks I care about protection for it.

Otterbox all the way. I have the commuter and my first one got a crack From a nasty drop I sent one email to them and they responded immediately and within a day they had gotten me a replacement case shipped out. They have some of the best customer care I've ever seen, not to mention the case most definitely has saved my phone on a number of occasions.
Sent through the power of Cthulhu!

Otterbox commuter case is good, not too big either. The defender has more protection but it is big and bulky.

A TPU case is what I use.

The platinum case from bestbuy is only 29.99 and it does not hinder the GPS signal strength. Cases that cover the area between the flash and speaker weaken GPS signal cause the GPS radio is placed there.

Cover Case for the Inspire 4g
I am using Moshi cover case for Inspire 4 g which is very useful. It was made for HD7 but it fits with inspire.

I use an Otterbox Defender and it saved my phone once after a drop. They are a bit more money, however you can get a decent price on Amazon. Had a speck when I first bought the phone. It broke 3 weeks later just putting it in and out of my pocket.

I'm using the Seidio Surface case for mine and I do like it. I've had a few drops onto hardwood floor and concrete slab in the garage and it has protected it great so far. However, with the price of the otterbox down from what I remember seeing it back when I first got my phone it might be well worth it to get that one, as it's not much more than the Seidio now.

Otter box defender...hands down. My Co worker's husband was so impressed with mine, he had me order him one for his Vivid.
Bought it from newegg hellafied cheaper than the otterbox site.

I lol'ed about the color reeking. My wife has that exact case and I can't stand looking at it. . I don't recommend the Trident though. The silicone under-layer is a loose fit, so one of the corners on the outer-layer hard shell has a tendency to dig itself under the silicone where the micro usb port is. I always end up taking the shell off and putting it back on to fix it. Annoying.
As for me, I'm using casemate tough. It's not going to win any beauty contests, but it works as advertised. It gives really great protection, fits perfectly and adds a lot of grip to the phone. It's only weakness I would say are it's boring looks. Kind of reminds me of a tire.
