FishBone Case for HTC Inspire - HTC Inspire 4G

just wanted to give my input after using this case for the past 4 months now and have to say it's a great tough case for the price. I have a habit of resting my phone on my lap when I'm driving and a few times I forgot when I got out of my truck to grab my phone and it got flung onto the pavement a couple of times without a scratch (knock on wood).. it has a durable grip with rubber skin with a snap on hard case and looks cool... I got mine on ebay for 6 bucks... they run around anywhere from 6-15 bucks and come in several colors

hmmm nobody has this case but me ? lol

I have that same exact habit and it resulted in cracking the hell out of the screen of my last Inspire. Does the case make the phone feel bulky?

not at all it's has a very comfortable solid grip, not bulky at all.....
I think people look at it and think that it's bulky cause of it's rugged look and because it's a cheap price it must be crap, but in all honesty it's just as good if not better then the 30 dollar OtterBox Commuter or the 25 dollar Seidio... just saying

Thanks for pointing this one out. I had never seen one before but I like it. I ordered the black on black version for $14.99 shipped. The corner clip broke off of my Seidio and I was needing some sort of replacement without having to pay 29 bucks. Now, hopefully this will fit snugly in the clip that came with the Seidio. LOL

Really Nice case for the Money!
This is one of the cases I have for my Inspire! I love the fit it is nice and snugg! The only thing I find with it, it the rubber that goes under the speaker at the top of the screen can sometimes be a pain when I try to slide the notification bar down!
Apart from that I love this case, and I love the $10 price tag I got it for on eBay!!

cool deal ... let me know how you guys like it

I ordered a pink/black one from ebay. Took me a few tries to get it to actually fit right. I was getting mad and looking at other cases....I think the case felt the vibe...the next time I tried to get it to fit, it went on perfect. It works best to put the phone in while the case is totally together...not one piece at a time.

I got the black/white one for like $7 bucks , I love Ebay lol. I had this same case for my Desire Z and was very pleased with it, so getting this one again for this phone was a no brainer.

I know this thread is a little older, but I wanted to come and give my opinion for people that may come here looking for info about this case.
My Gf has this case on her Inspire, and the fit is crap. Never tried putting the phone in while the case is assembled though, but doing it one piece at a time the corners never match up. She got sick of the notification bar issue, and had problems with the proximity sensor, so she cut the little strip off that sits below the speaker and that solved the problem.

I have been using these cases for about four months now, and I think they are just great. I bought one off eBay, and ended up breaking it after dropping it. But the phone was perfectly fine, no scratches or anything. I ordered two more for less than $20. I would much rather have these than an otterbox.
Sent from that place, using that thing.

I agree Great Case!
I bought the same one off sleaze bay and it works great. I can still slide it in my pocket and it doesn't get stuck like my OtterBox did. My only complaint is....No clip to attach to a belt.
Otherwise great value

Case-Mate Tough Case Best Out There! Read my review!

I will start this review by saying that I have owned a variety of different phones ( i get a new phone every 5-6 months) and with each of these phones i buy an expensive case (roughly 20-30 dollars)
The Case-Mate Tough Case beats them all.
I read every review on this board and decided to go with the Blue and Black Case-Mate Tough Case and it has been great.
The included screen protector is a great touch and the hard plastic and soft silicon allows for a great feel and great protection.
The case is easy to take off and looks great (the colors really make the phone unique because you do not see a high quality case that comes in different colors for any phone, many people were impressed when i pulled out my phone asking to feel it and hold it)
Three of my buddies all have Nexus Ones and they all ordered the Tough Case in different colors, two of my buddies were using Otterbox and they both agreed that the Case-Mate was not only more ergonomic it just looked and felt better and did not add the extra bulk the Otter did. Even tho I have never used an Otter extensively I do agree with their impressions just from holding their phones and holding mine and comparing them.
i 7use the tough case too and i gotta say, its great
I'm going to agree that it is an awesome case and I'm glad I decided to purchase it, especially over the otter box. I am going to disagree with the supplied screen protector. It was crap. I love the clarivue ultra clear protector, Its reusable, washable, no adhesive (static based) and You can't even tell I have it on. Ultra smooth, ultra clear, no glue.... awesome.

I have one ordered and it should be here next week. I need a holster for mine. Do you all know of one that will fit this case? Will the Seidio holster work for it? Thanks.
I have the black/black case mate tough case. The only and i mean only problem i sometimes have is that when I put the phone back into the hard shell, sometimes its hard to get the volume down button to work. That can be fixed by doing a little adjusting. I love this case and I wouldn't own anything else...
you guys got me interested in this case. how bulky does it make the nexus looks? the black/red looks pretty hot.....
I want it, but its cheap shipping option says it will take 3-4 weeks to Canada
even the $20 shipping says 8-14 days and with fedex... I pay brokerage..... why can't they do usps expedited?

It does add a little bulk, i'm not going to lie to you. However, in return your getting a sexy case plus a ****load of protection. You just simply can't go wrong with buying one of these cases. You definitely get what you pay for.

i use the nite ize holster with the tough case. http://www.niteize.com/collections/rugged-phone-cases/products/clip-case-cargo-medium
I bought black/blue on Friday. Tracking says it will be here today. I was going to write a review, but you beat me to it!
I report back to say if I like it or not.
To those who ask about bulk. Its adds a little bulk, but not as much as the otter box. Not even close if you ask me. And personally I feel the phone fits better in my hand with the case on. It doesn't feel like it will slip out.
Oh and the tough case gets double props for being able to buy the colored rubber inner sleeves separately without buying a whole new outer hard case with it.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
i honestly like the otterbox a lot better. its probably type of protection but i like that the ports are covered. u never know when something might get in there
My only gripe with the Case-Mate tough case and this is extremely minor is that because the hard case does not entirely cover the soft case, any lint that you might have in your pocket is attracted to the soft case.
Whenever I put my case in my pocket, it always attracts a little dust. Not enough to warrant getting a new case, but something that you should be aware of.
I used to use the Seidio Innocase II Surface, but it would keep cutting into my invisibleshield which ended up getting scratched off on the sides.
I definitely do love the case-mate though.

I took a look at the cases after your linked that and im very impressed!
being an elevator mechanic i snag my phone case on just about everything and have spent far too much money on holster. Does the medium size work well for you? i find that since the nexus one is a little longer then most bbs some cases the flap will not fold over at the top.
That case would suck for a nexus

Otterbox Samsung Galaxy S Commuter case

The outer shell of the Galaxy S devices are essentially the same. I got the Otterbox Samsung Galaxy S Communter case at teh Amazonz for 24.95 - free 2-day shipping if you sign up for an Amazon Student account.
It fits the phone perfectly
Dammit! I bought mine on ebay for 26.25 shipped! forgot to check amazon! can't wait to get it, until then I'm super careful with it.
It also comes with 1 screen protector but I have never been impressed with the one's Otterbox supplies. I didn't apply it anyway because the screen on this phone can take a pretty good beating. Enjoy the case! I know I am!
Good to know it fits. I think I might upgrade to the 4G this week.

I'm glad I stumbled on this thread. I just ordered mine today, should be coming in tomorrow afternoon, perfect since I'll be heading into PAX east, and this baby was paid full price x.x; shouldn't ever go to a convention without a case..
it's a good case. the rubber has a tendency to be a lint magnet. but it will def protect your phone.
Got mine from TheCellGuru.com for 23.39 with shipping. I got the otterbox commuter for the 'Vibrant' though. Should be essentially the same since the only differences physically is the forward facing camera.
Not a bad pick up for a solid case to protect; as I am one clumsy SOB!
Order the i9000 version. Thats the one I got.

I saw a friend with an Otterbox and liked the grip, so I grabbed one.
I was disappointed to find out they dont make a "Defender" version for the Vibrant/S4G. That was the version my friend had on his Captivate which I liked more then the "Commuter". But the Commuter will suffice for now. Hopefully they release a defender series for ours.
I also didn't care for the screen protector that came with the Otterbox, so I didn't use it and just used the second realook protector I had from my Vibrant which works great.
don't waste money

My best friend ended up with the otter box, I ended up with the case mate touch case. He likes his more, I like mine more. So I think it's opinion also, but they are both good options.

Comparing the two, which one tends to attract dust more? (refering to the soft silicone part).
Thanks
Case mate only does on the silicone part, which isnt really much once the "hard" part covers the back.. mainly on on the top part where the headphone jack is, a quick milisecond wipe when it comes out of my pocket and no dust on the entire phone. Hopefully that description helps.
Otherwise none at all. Refering to the case mate of course.

Yeah, I looked everywhere for the Defender version but settled for the Commuter.
I haven't had many problems with dust on my Otterbox but for those that are, Just wipe it with any microfiber cloth (even old jogging pants refashioned as a dust rag works) and it wipes it clean in seconds.
The only thing is the dust/lint gets in the cut outs for the ffc and ear piece. If your going to use the ffc, which isn't that often, you have to clean that out.
Is anyone else noticing that it seems like the soft part is getting a little loose after awhile? I've had this one since they first released them for the vibrant. It seems like, especially at the top, you can squeeze the edge's in and it buckles up.
That being said, this is the best case I've ever owned. I like how it has the soft rubber touching the phone so you don't get any wear spots on it. Then the hard plastic protects and keeps it from getting stuck in your pocket.

Speck Candyshell

I just want to put this out there. I purchased the black Speck Candyshell today along with my G2X and will be returning it tomorrow. This case will literally scratch if you wipe your fingers on it. Don't even think about putting it down on a hard surface. This case would be perfect if it didn't look like complete garbage after having it on the phone for 5 minutes. Stay away from the Speck Candyshell in dark colors.
Could you please take some pictures of the phone in the case? From a few angles?
Wondering how the fit looks.
im also wondering about the scratches, if you could post pics of those as well!
i was planning on buying the black or grey candyshell case tomorrow.
The fitment is great! No lie there. Unfortunately I'm at work until 330. When I get home I'll throw the case on and take some close up macro shots.

I'm using the black\grey speck case with no issue and I quite like it, the other options in store were a joke...the body glove and circle ribbed one. I could suggest a case for your case in case it gets any other life threatening scratches. Sad part is I'm serious...its a case, they arent supposed to look like sculptures untouched, lol.
Ridiculous. I never stated that the case was never supposed to get scratched. However, I will not accept paying $38 for a case that looks like complete garbage after only 5 minutes of use.

Just exactly how long is your 5 minutes in my time? My case has been all over stepped on by pups, outside on furniture chilled by this crappy WA weather and in and out of my pockets back and forth. My case looks good...then again I will always be happier to have any character nicks and scrapes on my candyshell...so thats not even relevant. And ridiculous is hardly the word. Stating a phone hard case is garbage after 5 minutes, now thats ridiculous.
Look at you. Why are you trying to argue a moot point? Lol. I'll have pictures to support my statement.

I purchased this along with my G2x. T-Mo had a promotion going to buy 3 accessories or more and get 30% off each of them so I took the bait. I do have to say that the speck case does scratch VERY easily as mine has not been dropped at all and only placed on my work desk and it does have substantial scratches on it already. The other thing that irks me too is that my headphone jack doesn't fit into my phone with the case on so I had to rip the rubber out of the headset hole and it doesn't look to good but at least I can plug my headphones in with the case still on. I don't care that the case is scratched up as that is the point of a case--to take the damage instead of the phone. Just my 2 cents.

Here are a couple photo showing fitment as well as the scratches sustained to the case after being on it for 5 minutes. I'm sorry if this issue seems trivial to some but I'm not down for having my phone in a case that looks like **** after a couple minutes. Imagine what it'd look like after about 2 weeks. The hairline scratches seen were a result of a wipe down with a micro fiber towel. There are two scuff marks that were a result of placing the phone on the table.

A case is meant to get scratches.. you must of had keys in the same pocket with the phone of something.
Unfortunate there's no case for a case out there either.
hmm
well i purchased this at work today regardless of the thread starters issues. I work in a tmo store, and got it for pretty cheap so i figured theres no harm in trying it out. better than buying something i cant see first online. g2x should be on my doorstep in the morning, then i'll throw the case on and post up some more info.

Not the case. (Pun not intended) All the swirl scratches are from wiping it with a micro fiber towel. The two scuffs were from placing it on my desk at work. Regardless of the scratches, the molding around the volume rocker was cracked. When I went to the T-Mo store to return the case, I checked other cases and found that the case I had was the only one with the cracked rocker. All issues withstanding, this case is not worth $38 IMO.
Got the Speck case and love it. Makes the phone feel solid. And not as slippery! Only issue I had was I had to modify the opening around the headphone jack. Actually cut the piece separating the headphone and the HDMI port. Now I need to find something to smooth out the rough edges.
Speck cases do scratch easy. My sister has one for her iPhone in purple, and after 2 weeks of use it looks like it got ran over by a car, fell down a mountainside, and got chewed by wolves. Quite disappointing, considering how attractive (imo) they look. I still buying one for my Atrix. Lets see how it works being black... the most blemish showing color in the world
Wish they would make something white.

Then get it for $19.99 at http://www.wirelessground.com/t-mobile-g2x-speck-candyshell-black.html I just got mine in the mail from them today. Fast delivery and half the price of TMO... I don't know why you would shop at the retail TMO store when you can get **** for way cheaper at 3rd party discount shops for the exact same thing...
I would not want this case at $5. It looks like ****. Reason I'll pay retail is because I don't have an issue paying the money and can not stand waiting for **** in the mail. Clearly, $34 isn't the issue when buying a $500 phone.

[Review] Body Glove Smooth Case

Just recently bought a Body Glove Smooth Case for my Infuse from Walmart ($17.96 i believe is how much it came to)
Bought this case recently because I've been having butterfingers when it comes to my Infuse, a few nicks and scratches later I decided it was time.(shoulda been sooner) So I went for the cheap option of this case. It feels great, doesn't add too much more size to the phone, and it's a hard back so it can take a bit of a beating. It was easy to install, but I must say difficult to remove, I tried removing it exactly how instructions stated and all it did was damage the case. After a while I managed to pop it off. But all in all it's been a great case, and for sure worth the money, the color options is an added plus. Mine being a very stimulating blue color.
Out of 10 I'd give this case a 7.
Just my 2 cents on it.
Peace out with the Grease out,
Malicious, Much love.
Using this case for a good while now and yesterday I went to a party and stuff got crazy, long story short my phone was thrown a good 10-15 feet landed on concrete and bounced a little. This case saved my phone, hardly any damage done to the case, nothing cracked. This thing is solid. I recommend it.
A lot more resilient than its appearance might make you think. I've had it for almost a month and I'm extremely impressed.

Very much so, as am I. I'm glad I made the investment
Just bought one per your recommendation. Great case and defiantly provides protection feels solid without adding much to phone. (can't stand otterbox cases).
Infact it makes the phone easier to hold.
Edit: just wanted to say how it doesn't feel like a cheapo silicone case but actually feels like a quality product.

yes, feels great, doesn't add too much more size to the phone.
My case finally took a beating that took it out for good. After a while I noticed that this case became weak. Mainly from taking it off and putting it back on every time I had to pull the battery. But the other day it finally had it and cracked.

It sounds like you hate your phone more.
Why? The ballistic SG case is not quite as big as the HC case, but gives incredible protection. But hey, if you don't mind breaking and replacing your phones, go for it.
A friend of mine doesn't believe in cases of any kind and works construction. It will break eventually, and I'll be the first to say "I told you so".
Plus, a hardy case gives it that manly, rugged look. Sorry, I shouldn't assume you want that.
I don't know why really but ever since my early iPhone days I was really never a fun of otter box/ballistic cases. I bought on for my infuse but I only used it for maybe a week. Since then I purchased another body glove case and its serving me just fine
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
My philosophy is I bought the slimmest 4g smart phone and I intend to keep it that way
Besides, I think you will be surprised how much any sort of case can take, you don't need a full inch of plastic to take a hit, just enough to transfer the forces around the phone and not through the glass. I dropped my phone the other day, waist height, hit on the corner, scratched up the case a little, but phone didn't get touched
The body glove is a great protector and not extremely expensive. I'm a fan for sure.

I've Gone NAKED!!!!!!!!

I bought a leather backed MX14 and then what did I do? I bought a bumper and 2 cases for it. Why? Because I didn't want to scratch it, lol! Stupid I know.
Then today I was taking the Incipio NGP case off to put the Case-Mate Hula bumper on so that I could at least feel the leather and I scratched the leather back with my nails. I gasped in horror but really it is a good thing b/c now it is not pristine and I can wean myself off of these cases.
The leather is really a nice feel in the hand and it isn't slippery at all. The metal frame is a bit slippery but with the grip of the leather it is not too bad.
I think I may buy a sleeve to put it in when it is in my purse.
The leather is really cool and well worth the extra $25 but the black is so unfeminine. I like it when I am dressed up in black clothes but other than that, it looks like a man's phone. I wish they would do a white leather but then, that would likely get dirty so they would get a bunch of complaints.
I think I will get this sleeve

Just be careful not to drop it

Yup, that was my issue. I started with the phone naked for the same reason mentioned above (feel in hand, looks, etc.). I've also had both the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 before this, both of which survived multiple drops each other than a slight bend in the metal. With the Moto X, on the other hand, I dropped it once onto a granite floor and the screen broke instantly. I bought a replacement and kept it naked...then dropped it again on some linoleum and broke the screen again. $240 in replacement fees later, I bought a case for the third one. The way the screen is set up makes it break instantly upon hitting a corner, which wasn't the case with my previous devices...I just don't trust this phone to survive any drop.
Yep, looks like motocare is a good investment in this case. Mine was a less than 2 foot drop from my pocket to the concrete steps in the garage. My old Galaxy S3 survived worse than that, in fact this is the first time I've had a screen crack since owning the original Galaxy S, and my phones are always naked. Worst before was dropping my Note from chest height onto dirt trail. All that did was pockmark the screen.
Speaking of naked, we have no proof the OP is actually going naked. So far I've only seen mention of a naked phone

It was $90 after sales tax for me and the deductible being only $39 would bring the cost of a new phone to $140. Even if my phone doesn't break, I am sure I will use it for a new battery when it gets close to the 2 year mark as I use my phone for WiFi MHS and that takes a toll on the battery. By then of course I will have a MX16 but it is still good to have spare phones as a backup device in case you lose your phone.

hahahahahaha, I am going to take some pics of my naked phone soon along with the cases I bought. I have a small dent in the leather now and haven't scratched it again, not bad. I do keep it in a Seidio spring clip holster (S5), so technically it is not naked. I guess I couldn't wean myself completely from my cases but the back is naked!
I really like the Hula Bumper. I bought it after the phone slipped out of my hand. I agree the metal is rather slick. A full case is a bit much considering I want to see and feel the wood on the back of my phone. That was one of the main reasons I picked it up.

Hey! Did you receive your fitBAG sleeve?
I didn't like the Dodocase , not slim enough in my opinion so I also bought a fitBag, waiting for it

I have not received it yet, but I haven't checked my mail in a few days so I need to do that. I actually forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me!
