OEM HTC Hard Shell Cases for under $10

I was looking for the HTC metallic cases online, and found them on many sites for $19.95, which I didn't want to pay after seeing some posts on here saying the clips wore down. I found them on htcpedia.com for $8.99 for metallic, and $9.99 for the clear and black ones.

I've never purchased from them but you can use Paypal and there are customer reviews on the products so I gave it a shot. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else was interested!

What do you mean by metallic? are they metal or metal apearance with a plastic build..

That's just what HTC calls them, I don't know. Look at the pics?

Does metallic mean they're like my case? Mine looks plastic but the inside of it is metal, something about the signal, I don't know for sure.

Hmmm, if someone does decide to order, would like to hear a review on the quality.

Search this forum. There previous posts about it. Also a user from here made a YouTube video about the black one. Just search for it on there.
Also ime metallic refers to color and not material.

Here, I got the links for you.

I have the clear case. Bought it at my local T-Mobile store for $9.99. It has a very snug fit but looks amazing as it lets the sexinesss of the G2 show. The case has the stand which allows the phone to sit up on its own in landscape or portrait. Be careful pulling case off the back of the phone. Very tight and if not careful will scratch phone.

I think you're mistaken - these HTC cases don't have kickstands. I think Body Glove or someone made that one.
Anyway, just a quick review - my case got here in 2 days with Fed Ex (NY to IL), I'd definitely buy from that website again. The case made the phone seem bulky at first but after the first day I was used to it, and it doesn't seem odd at all anymore. I like the finish a lot. I would recommend these cases, especially since they're made by HTC and that gives them the best fit possible.

They are great, but they really get in the way when typing on the top row of keys.
Nonsense!

I wish shipping wasn't $6

Need a sturdy case

I'm driving trucks for a living and need something that can take the bumps and drops. I'm in Australia so I need it to be available for me here

Ballistics SG! It was just a tad too much for me when I had it, but the case felt really really nice.

I want to suggest ballistic SG as well. You can grab one from Amazon for less than $20 and yet its very durable and effective. I dropped mine several times and the phone is still in pristine condition. Make sure you also grab a screen protector.

Not sure if you can get it, but I personally swear by Otterbox. Had it on my other phones and provided great protection. I don't think you're one to care about bulk, so I'd suggest the Otterbox. Plus, they have lifetime warranty on their cases; so if your case gets destroyed or the rubber flaps start to rip off, call them up and they'll ship you a brand new one for free.

I personally feel About Turning Leather Protective Sleeve, comprehensive protection outside dust, scratches can be very good to protect your phone is a good choice!! :fingers-crossed:

Throwing in another vote for the Otterbox, you can even find them on eBay for cheaper than retail.

+1 on Ballistic SG, I work outdoors and have dropped my phone many times and no problems, it's a bit bulky but well designed

available on Ebay Australia http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GENUINE-...ccessories&hash=item2ec0b1856c#ht_4595wt_1141

Thanks for the suggestions peeps, I might try the ballistic first then the otterbox if that doesn't work for me

I have one too. So far so good, though I didn't use the screen protector that came with it.
Is there a docking cradle that works with this case? I bought the one recommended by Samsung (EDD-D200BEGSTD) but it doesn't fit at all. There's a ridge in front of the USB connector that pushes up against the keyboard. I don't think it would fit even with the case off...

you mind posting links to cases that fit well?
i didn't get a case for the new cell so far since i always had trouble with them falling off when sliding the keyboard in and out after a while or didn't really fitting at all.
but if there's one that you ppl could recommend... my new electronic toy could use a lil extra protection

Case/cover.
I'm trying to find that case in UK as from us it will be about £20 !
Does anyone know where to buy it in UK or any online site but cheaper.
If not I will go for it as need to protect my precious (still waiting to be delivered).
Can anybody post some photos of that case as even on google pictures they not show it cover fully unit.
Or maybe someone have any alternative?
Regards
Mac
UPDATE
I just bought SA-321
http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...alpro-hard-shell-case-with-silicone-core.html
And even found discount code 20% less !
So I am happy now, no need to buy screen protector even.

Looks pretty good honestly, I may get one of those feather cases.
Here some pictures:

(If you want to buy one there, you may want to use the coupon code "inc20" - saves you 20%.) (expired)

Just ordered the SA-321 for my wife's Relay. Btw, the coupon code no longer is active.

I have just received an SA-321 case. It's of very good quality and I like the rubbery-but-not-too-much feeling of it. Compared to the SA-316, it covers the power and volume buttons. It makes the power button a lot easier to press and the slide-out mechanism feels somewhat more solid.
I like it a lot.

Agree. Though a bit pricey, my wife fell in love with it instantly. Great feel, good protection, and looks great too.:good:

UAG Aero Case, Dualtek Case, DRY Invisible Shield Review

So i went and bought a couple of cases after destroying my first GS4, i had the Incipio Dual Pro on my phone from sprint http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/shop/accessory/ao_details.jsp?accSKU=74100061&accCatId=acc9003cat
& it didn't do nothing, basically my 7 month old daughter got a hold of my phone, tried to eat it and then chuck it at the wall.
My LCD had a fine crack and then it started to bleed, i was using a body glove(http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/shop/accessory/ao_details.jsp?accSKU=74100052&accCatId=acc9003cat) at the time i dropped it off getting out of my car and that took the screen out.
long story short, i found myself a screen for really cheap and replaced it and went and bought a couple of new cases, i figure i review them and maybe find a new cool case i haven't come across.
So here is my GS4 i put Invisibleshield Extreme on my phone, not really happy with it since i thought it would be Anti-Glare and Fingerprint resistant, its not, i got the screen protector for free so i can't really complain, but i am going to anyways!

Bought myself a UAG AERO(i had UAG on my note 2, but was looking to try new things & it didn't work out too well)
so far my favorite case for everyday use out of everything, its really light, grip is good and really protects from everyday drop and use.
Also went and bought a Dualtek, use this case anytime im working in shop, outside or when running, this case is great, i threw it down couple of stairs by mistake and phone had no damage, my only issue is that it make the phone feel heavy and big compared to UAG AERO.
see pics and let me know what you think!

First of all, nice review and nice picture.
I have few concerns and question about DualTek case, how do you feel about the button - are they easy to push? and how is the side bumper - does they collect lint/dust easily?
Thanks for taking time to look and reply.

I read the dualtek will eventually leave marks on the GS4's backcover from the rubber lining on the inside.
Is that Zagg protector a dry or wet install? The ones I know of are wet installs.

[Q] Help with UAG Casing

Hey guys I recently bought a UAG casing for my S5 online, and I realized that it doesn't really fit? I'm not sure but it looks like the casing isn't wide enough for the phone or something. Alot of times it feels liek the phone is "popping out" in a bad way, and I can see the gold trim around the phone too.
Do you think I bought a fake one? Cos it's very tough to remove the phone from the casing too and I can hear the creaks and feels like the phone is gonna bend or something!

It depends on where u bought it online? I have a clear one and right now prefer it over a ballistic case and a spigen slim armor cs case. Fits perfectly, and the phone is secure in it. It can be a little tough removing the case, but I prefer it that way... :good:

Mine fits perfectly in my case. It is a little hard to get out, but that it because it fits so perfectly. You shouldn't see any gaps or even any part of the bezel. I have seen a lot of fake UAG cases where they are, for lack of a better term, "warped" and don't fit snuggly, leaving gaps around the bezel. I would be a little concerned that you got a fake one. Where did you buy it? Also, the pics posted aren't coming up on my end to look at it.
