Anyone know where I can get a black matte TPU case? - HTC Sensation

Anyone know where I could find a solid black (no designs) matte finish TPU case? I can find glossy ones but havent found a matte one yet.

When I had my vibrant and hated every case that was out, I just sanded down a cheap ebay case and painted it myself.
Buy a black case from ebay and sand it down. Spray some matte black krylon one coat at a time and let it dry. Then to protect it from the oils in your hand, spray one to two coats of matte clear finish and let that dry completely. To harden the paint I let it dry under a heat lamp that I had from my turtles cage. That step is unnecissary but I did drop before and it barely got a nick in it from the pavement.

I've looked... There isn't one yet. Seller "TPU Cases" on Amazon says they are working on a flat black version. They just came out with a silver one and clear one. I just got the smoke and had the black gloss one. They fit perfect.

I'm guess I'm reposting this from another, similar thread, but I've found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180699200569&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_738wt_1037. And I think it looks better than the other TPU cases that have been going around. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a power button cutout. I'm debating on whether or not I should purchase it based on this one issue.

I love this case man. Thanks! Ordering it now.

Try Amazon.com they have some nice ones.

The one in this thread looks pretty good. The only thing is that it has a logo on the back, so not completely plain....but close.

No problem! I think I'm actually going to buy this case soon. When you get it, mind telling how the build quality/form factor is?

Otter Box commuter case

If anybody is looking for a good case for their DHD then I recommend the Otter Box Commuter, great case just got one fits like a glove and will protect really well.
It's in two parts a soft silicone insert with a hard plastic shell over that best I have seen and not to bulky all in black looks mint.

Yeah you can do that easily. The commuter case hasn´t those case mate pop case - problems.
Hello,i've bought Otter Box Defender for moutain bike , a very good case too ...
Have one myself, happy with it , still think it's way overpriced !!

Does this case have any problems with blocking GPS like some people have experienced with the Case-Mate Pop?

No, but it makes the DHD much bigger.
When you take the Phone in your trousers pocket it rubs at the sides of the pocket.
But i need to say, that i have no Otterbox but an similar produkt from amazon ^^
Thanks.
That's quite surprising considering the extra thickness the case provides.
It is a great case - but very pricey compared to simlar types of case - often described as hybrid on eBay.
I bought a two piece silicone and plastic for a Nokia N8 and it only cost about £4.00. One 6th of the Otterbox - but so far there doesn't seem to be any hybrid 2 piece cases for the DHD

I've got the Otterbox Commuter for the HTC Desire HD and i'm not that satisfied about it. Because like you guys said it attracks dust on the silicone. When I was trying to clean the case, IT BROKE

Cruzerlite Androidified Cases

Just got my white, clear and black ones in today. Cases fit like a glove. Tighter than any other TPU case I've ever used. Not sure if it's the case or just this phone design. It is very slim and minimal. White on white is perfect for me. It doesn't take away the phones look at all. At a quick glance someone wouldn't even notice there was a case on the phone.
Highly recommended...make sure to order the OneXL version.

Where is the clear one for sale at?
But only thing is that the camera lense looks exposed. If you set it down flat on the table, it sits on the lense. Here is comparison between my clear case which protects lense and the one I have which is like this tpu case.

I got my clear from Amazon. I don't think it had the picture though. Found it by name.
To the guy above I do wish the camera lens was protected...maybe a little bit thicker just around that, but I can't say enough how slim the case is and it doesn't add any bulk to it really.

I like slim, thats what I was going for with the casemate barely there case, but without that protection around the lense, it doesn't truly serve its purpose for being a case.

To each his/her own. Since when does protecting the camera define the purpose of a case. That's like saying any case besides a OB Defender doesn't serve a purpose because the screen is exposed.
I like going without a case so having this is better than nothing. I'm not worried about the camera. Pics taken with my phone serve no purpose besides maybe FB.
I went for the "Buy One Get One Free" deal on Amazon and picked up the Black, Clear, and Smoke colors. The Clear looks best to me on my white One X. I usually change cases every other day so the other two are back up

Ringke Slim case for Nexus 4.

I can't recommend these cases enough. I loved the Slim for my Galaxy Nexus. A very well designed case with minimal bulk. I doubt it offers the most protection but for those looking for just a little extra protection, this is the way to go.
http://www.rearthusa.com/google-nexus-4-ringke-slim-case
EDIT: says it releases on the 30th but I just got a shipping notification from Amazon. Fluke or awesome? Not sure.
EDIT 2: Just got shipping notification. it is in Texas. 11/29/12
had a rearth slim on my nexus s and was pretty satisfied with it. I don't even have my N4 yet but I'm tempted to order at that price
edit: just realized its for preorder
Also preordered the matte black case and screen protector. If this is as good as my Slim case for my Gnex it's going to be a good investment :good:
I wish the case covered the whole bezel, the top and bottom are exposed
Is the white one matte or glossy? i really cant tell from the pictures

These cases are minimal drop protection, perfect for the minimalist, not so good for a 6 foot drop. (Although you will be surprised what a little bit of material can do!)
If you want something minimal, (a little bigger than Rearth, but not otterbox) look at the Dizitronic TPU cases. http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=46_76

The Ringke Slim was excellent for the Galaxy Nexus and even better for the iPhone 5...count me in. Ordered.
Agh, why did they make it protect the sides and not the top and bottom like the GN slim case....Maybe because it was so hard to remove the case, heh.
I ordered the white one a few hours ago and just got this email wasn't it a pre-order? I even got a tracking number
I ordered overnight and just got a shipping notification from Amazon with a tracking number (USPS) as well.
so it's true, they are shipping already... btw I don't even have my n4 yet XD
I'm not sure if my information is entirely accurate - but the girl I talked to said that once they generate a shipping label - it would show up on amazon as shipped... However, the product itself wont be shipped until the 30th.
I'd suggest to call them:
9:00am-6:00pm (CST) Monday - Friday
Call: 469-250-1307
Does anyone know if there's a eyelet for phone straps on this case?
I understand the importance of a case like this... I just don't get why design a sexy glass phone just to cover it up so you don't even see it.
Wouldn't a truly smart design be sexy and durable not requiring a case?
Ordered.
It's a gorgeous looking case but as mentioned before, the top and bottom part of the bezel is open.
Someone needs the same make a case where there's an opening in the back so we can show off the Nexus logo.

I picked one up as a temporary case. I'd really like to have the back shown off though, so I'll probably replace this with the bumper when that is available.

**CruzerLite Bugdroid Circuit/Androidified A2 REVIEW!**

Ever since getting my first CruzerLite cases for the HTC Rezound a few years back, I've loved the quality of their stuff! Yeah, they're basic TPU cases, but they always have a solid, sturdy feel that's just better than the cheap cases you find on eBay and whatnot.
Back when CruzerLite first started, they seemed to just have a few basic designs and some basic argyl type TPU cases, which I had for my Rezound. They were great, though, and felt like good quality. However, the company has matured over the years and has some unique, awesome designs!
I just bought the new BugDroid Circuit case, and I love it! I also decided to pick up the Androidified A2 case, which has the big Android guy on the back. I picked this one up as well because I've got the case for my DNA, and I loved the "ribbed" sides which help for grip. Here's some shots, starting with the BugDroid Circuit Case:

the rear design is awesome
cutouts for the speaker, camera, flash, and chargeport are perfect and aligned well
cutouts for volume, headphone jack and the IR sensor are perfect
the lip around the edge makes it great for placing it face-down
Now for the Androidified Case:
cool rear design, and great cutouts
camera and flash aligned perfectly
again, the lip around the edge is high enough for laying face-down
Overall, I love both of these cases. I've loved all of their stuff, and the quality for the S4 cases is great!
The ANDROIDIFIED A2 case can be found here, in many different colors:

The BUGDROID CIRCUIT case can be found here, in many different colors as well:

I suggest you check them out if you'd like a slim but great feeling case! I had a Diztronic before this, and it felt like it added some bulk to the phone. After sliding the CruzerLite cases on, I definitely noticed that it helped keep the smaller shape of the phone, all while adding some good protection!
Thanks for the write-up. I have a diztronic right now and I'm happy with it. I was wondering if the cruzerlites are thinner than my current case though. So you're saying these are thinner?

honestly yeah, the cruzerlites feel thinner than the diztronic. diztronic isn't bad, but i was just bored of the plain black matte finish.
I have my white cruzerlite case for about a month now and I'm very happy with it except that the case seems to stain easily. Let's just say the case isn't white anymore.
haha yeah, that's why i avoid clear and white cases....i love smoked!

Is there any other difference between these 2 cases other than their designs?
Does one provide more more protection than the other one?

WoWWWW
any comments about this who have and what about nillkin brand?
No comment on the brand name. China brand names are mostly just names on generic product. Didn't like the aluminum bumpers on any of my phones. Tried it with a Note 2 and S4. They're bulky, have a slight gap because of the thin neoprene layer. Just didn't care for it. I like the idea of a tpu bumper and replacement battery cover as a minimalist look with protection. Only wish they'd make a battery cover with a kickstand, then I'd go with the bumper and have a great combo.
I like the look... I already order 3 cases that I probably wont use much...lol
I end up going naked. haha:laugh:
Funny how the labeled the mic holes as speaker holes.... on a positive note it looks like the cut out is big enough to fit both designed.
I had this bumper for my LG G3. Nillkin makes really solid cases. Very good quality.
I also ordered black color. Pls who received the bumper write here comments and pls attach pictures.
I am a sucker... I order one. Lol

Not the case with Nillkin, they make their stuff in-house and it's not generic rebranded stuff. They make quality cases/screen protectors.
awesome find, I'm gonna order it, i hope it works for the at&t variant
Ordered a black one and a red one. Thanks for sharing!
If anyone receives theirs take a few pics and let us know your thoughts in this thread Please. Looks S.E.X.Y.

No one has received their case yet?
Mine is still in transit from China.
Pretty pricey for a case that came from china, usually even the spigen knock offs cost 5.99 but I'm ordering a red one soon
Mine Orange color is also still in transit from China.
A think this cases still not ready or something else, because my shipped 12 days ado but still no tracking info and it is in China.
