[DEAL][SKIN][REVIEW] Stealth Armor - TouchPad Accessories

I just thought I would link this up for you all. Skin for the back & screen protector. if you use promo code "HPFIRESALE" you get $15 off of each one you order. I ordered 2 for $40 + shipping. I will follow up once I receive mine. http://www.stealtharmor.com/store/touchpad/
Update 9/15
So, I received my Stealth Armor order yesterday. This is definitely not just some sticker you are putting on the device. It is made from a tough 3M vinyl material. Definitely good for protection The back cover took about 20 minutes to install only because it was just a pain to get lined up decent. Once it got lined up and looking good, I took a blow dryer and waved it back and forth along the edges and corners and smoothed off with my hands. If you don't do this you will have wrinkles on the corners.
This also came with a nice screen protector a well. This was a lot quicker and easier to install. I must warn you though, the material is a little soft. Don't use too much force when moving it around on the screen or it may stretch a little bit. That happened to mine just a tiny bit on one edge. My girlfriend's came out perfect though. Since you are applying this like you do auto tint, the screen will be hazy for a couple days.
I bought this to use with either a sleeve or folio type case to travel with. This is great for when holding the tablet because it gives that grip that the shiny slippery plastic doesn't. I am now not so worrisome about scratches etc when laying the device down.

I would order one of these!! How think does it make the TP? How much weight does it add?? Can you post pictures?

Damn this is exactly what I originally wanted but now I'm leaning towards the oem case because I feel the stand could become quite useful.
Not to mention since ill keep it in my backup while going to school, I feel this would just leave it to exposed

ray-out - Rubber Coating Shell Jacket

Here's a quick review of the ray-out `Rubber Coating Shell Jacket' for the HTC Desire HD.
I think a back cover is a bit useless, given it can survive being driven over. Unless you prevent scratches and chips, but that has never really bothered me.
Yeah. It wouldn't be my first choice of protection. But the stores in Japan here were slow to get any cases in when the Desire HD was released in November.
It's been OK minimal protection for a couple of months. I do care about scratches and chips.
I like the look of the Otterbox cases - but I've not seen them in the flesh yet.
The Otterbox cases are some of the best, if not the best, cases available. I have a Commuter one for my DHD and absolutely love it.
Yeah. I'm tempted to get that model I think. It looks like a smart choice.

I'll second that. I have the otterbox commuter also, apart from the fact the rubber shell is a lint magnet, it's one of the best cases available IMO.
Ive got a white version bought from ebay for £3. It looks similar to yours but mine protetcs the camera because the lens surround protrudes. I dont use it because the top and bottom of the DHD is not protected.
Yep, 3 quid sounds more like it. Many things are way overpriced here.
In November when the Desire HD came out, they were selling SoftBank screen protectors (good quality but the usual stick on protector) for about 13 quid. (or 21 dollars). SoftBank is the only main Carrier here selling the Desire HD, the iPhones and the iPad.
red case
how will you mail them? thanks!
Just PM me an address. I'll get to the post office in the next few days and mail it. Just normal shipping/ international - I'm not fussed. It's not heavy and it's free - so first come first serve. It's the red one.
A user has given me his address so it will be sent to him in the next few days.
aww man! i wasnt able to give my address on time anyway, i saw the site but i dont know japanese! so im not really sure whether i can buy it then let it be shipped to my country (philippines)
If you want to pm me your address I'll see what I can do.
They are not that good. They only provide scratch protection at the corners and the back. I can't offer any more. But you and the original user will be OK. What color did you prefer?
I'll send them out next week.

Same. I was so surprised at the speed. Thanks a bunch! Just can't read the instructions on the screen protector, but it doesn't look like a snug fit and I already have one. But I have to say, uber sexy
That's great guys. Thanks. Yes, that delivery was pretty fast. I took them to the Post Office at about 4PM on Monday here in Japan.
I have one more (black and used) of these cases. I'm giving it away at the end of the month if you want it.
It doesn't have a box, I'll just bubble wrap it.
Send me a PM. First come first served. Sorry, only users who haven't received any of the others I sent.

Case Thread

What case will you be getting, if any?
Post your $0.02, give a little review, discuss.
I'll start:
I ordered an otterbox commuter series case for the Desire HD, and am crossing my fingers that the Inspire and DHD are exactly the same. I feel like the commuter is the best balance between essential protection, without adding too much more bulk onto an already large device (to me, slimness is a deal breaking factor). When it comes in, and I have the phone on the 13th, I will test it out and report my findings. If it doesn't fit - I'm going to go with the case-mate 'barely there' case. The only reason I did not choose this case - strangely enough - is that it didn't cover the aluminum/glass seams on the front face of the phone.
Has anyone owned an otterbox before? Please comment on the quality, snugness, design etc - let me know what I should expect.
When I first got my Captivate I also ordered the Otterbox Commuter, however it was a bit too bulky for me since I like the aesthetics of the devices that I buy, and it hampered it too much.
With that said, I will first start out with a naked device, then I might move to a PhantomSkinz Chromatic skin. I love those things.
If I want a bit more protection, then I will definitely be getting a CaseMate Barely There too.
Heh, I also just ordered the OtterBox commuter case for DesireHD, it shipped out today. I'm hoping it fits ok, it should...
I love otterbox protection but hate the bulk. I will be going with a casemate gel skin and a gelaskin for the back along with an invisible shield for the screen

I am thinking it will fit perfectly - after doing more case research last night I found that Seidio is advertising cases for the Inspire/DHD. Unless they are purposely making a blanket case with some added "wiggle room", I believe they know for a fact the two devices share the same dimensions.
When did you order yours? I ordered mine last night (2/7/11, 11:30 pm) and have not received a shipping email yet.
Is the commuter really that bulky? I wonder how easy it is to return a case to them...
Edit: Just checked out their return policy. Seems pretty basic, except shipping costs are non refundable. If it turns out I don't like the case, I'll eat the charge for shipping it back to them (I used a coupon code that got 10% off/free shipping).
I will get the accessories package at the at&t store, but if that isn't enough, I may buy this: http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Desire-HD/Case-Mate-HTC-Desire-HD-Clear-Armor.asp
What do you think?

I ordered mine on 2/07 at 2am, and got the shipping confirmation later the same day at 7pm... So that's about 17 hours, lol. I'm guessing that yours will probably ship out by 2/08 at some point? I'm pretty sure we'll get them by the end of the week. I used the same deal, 10% off with free shipping.
I have not seen the OtterBox Commuter cases in person, but they look a lot less bulky than the Defender cases! A friend has the Defender case for iPhone 4 and while it's nice, it's freakin' huge, haha. I think the Commuter series is supposed to be like a lighter version of the Defender, which is exactly what I want.
I always had the gel skin case made by boxwave. It's very easy take off and on. Feels good in your hand. It's doesn't add bulk. They also have one for desire hd which should fit the inspire. I am very excited about the release.

My experience with these cases are never good. While they seem great in theory, I have the way that without fail - dirt and lint get stuck on all of the edges of the plastic. Whether you keep it in your pocket or keep it in your hand, it has happened on every clear shield I have applied. Not to mention they are very tricky to apply to contoured surfaces. They protect from scratches, but don't drop it - your edge will still be exposed (which is probably what is going to hit the ground first)
I have only owned the zagg versions of these, so I don't know if the case mate ones are any different. The last one I owned was actually for an iPhone 4. While I was in the store, despite my previous experiences with them, I thought that it would be a good idea - since the front and back of the iphone 4 are completely flat. While it was a breeze to install, the plastic protector never quite took hold of the glass surface and when I would put it in my pocket, I would remove it to find the protector all disheveled over the phone. I eventually just ripped it off and found a slim hard case.

It's a home-made vid, but you get the idea.
Thanks for the vid link, case looks awesome, doesnt seem bulky at all
Case
This case has great reviews on an htc desire site. Its made from TPU which is a little harder and less "sticky" than a gel case. Same material as my iphone's iskin case which I've had for over a year. I've dropped it multiple times, and no damage to the phone or case. Prob the best material IMO.

Probably similar to the Flexishield case I have on my Hero. If so, they are great.
Just ordered that case, $3.79 shipped on eBay.
I plan on getting the seidio innocase II case holster combo for the inspire when it ships
Cool, my OtterBox Commuter case (for Desire HD) came in today! Took 3 days total with (free) shipping via USPS Priority.
The case is NICE! Way better than I expected and really not too bulky looking at all. I'd say no thicker than any other normal case. I like the combination of the rubber + hard shell. The case also has a nice texture to it as well. Now I just hope it fits the Inspire ok, lol.
I pre-ordered from Radio Shack, guy told me they were getting the Inspires in "early" for the 10th, because they're trying to compete with Verizon iPhone (which launches on the 10th). I have no idea if he's right or not, but will call on Thurs afternoon to check, and maybe I'll have a nice surprise...
I preordered mine through radioshack as well i hope they call me earlier than the 13th to come pick it up. i'm paying retail for the phone so i wonder if I'll get the 30 accessorie gift card? Any suggestions?
So we can buy any desire hd case and it will fit the inspire?

I ordered 4 of them from the shack and was told I would get the $30 card for each phone. Also not sure if you did this or not, but on the bottom of your preorder receipt theres a survey link , tkaes about 3 minutes, and at the end you print out a coupon for $10 off your next $40 purchase (picking up the phone )

Cruzerlite cases generally hug the phone very tightly, requiring a little bit of faff when they are new to get them on perfectly lined up. They never tend to accumulate daily hand grease either.
I find it almost impossible to get mine off my s3 without it ripping off it's back cover with it!
Undecided whether to grab one or a few of these, or get the bumper...or both, decide when I have them both!
I'm thinking teal too @sickred...from seeing one for the GNex, does it look girly?
I loved the green one on my white s3, but somehow I don't think green will look right with a black phone, but I dunno.
Using this on my gnex. Gotta get some as well for the n4. I'm a caseaholic
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
They have very high quality cases but I don't like the side ridges as they add bulk to the phone and in the past the fit caused my screen protectors to peel. Would be nice if they came out with a really slim one. The closest I found was their first one with all the little Andys on it. Unfortunately the protector had some rough spots on the edges that I had to melt with a lighter to smooth down. Company was great about it though as the owner have me a new one for free. I think I've purchased a total of five of their cases and gave one to my dad for his extended battery Verizon model. They were one of the only case maker that actually had cases that fit the bigger battery.
Stupid android on back fail
I've got a couple of cruzerlite cases for my sgs3 and they are awesome. Just enough ridge on the top to save the screen if it falls on a flat surface, and its slim and durable. I'm going to preorder at least one for my wife's new N4, but since they aren't available I'm also going to have to get a Cimo case. (They are pretty terrible compared to Cruzerlite - something about the material just sucks. I've got 3 for my SGS3 that I haven't used since I got my Cruzerlites. But they'll do the job in the meantime..)
I absolutely love the look of Cruzerlite cases...but they seem to be lacking in protection compared to the plain TPU cases you can find on eBay. For instance, it seems that the power button is not covered and is simply protruding out of the case. A drop on that side would easily damage it. Also, I'm not sure that these cases have lipped fronts as normal TPUs do and that's a huge deal for me. If I'm wrong about either of these things, please feel free to correct me, but until Cruzerlite matches the sexiness of these cases with protection, then I won't be purchasing one.

Haven't seen the n4 case but on my SGS3 there is a nice lip above the screen and the buttons don't protrude at all. Even the camera bump is safe..

Video Review: TPU S-Case for Nexus 4

Hey fellas,
I used to post my reviews over on the Galaxy S3 forums (and the Galaxy Nexus, S2 and Nexus S forums before that), but since I've recently gotten my Nexus 4, I decided to start my coverage as soon as possible. As most of you know, brand name cases are still hard to find but should be released in the next few weeks. I decided to pick up a temporary case in the TPU S-Case and wanted to share my thoughts. This is a simple TPU case that offers contrasting matte and glossy portions to create a cool design.
The case offers a moderate amount of protection without adding too much bulk and is extremely affordable at only 5$! I'm happy to take a look at any cases you'd like me to, so feel free to recommend anything! I will be posting a ton more content on the channel. Check out the full review of the S-Case below and let me know what you think:
I remember your vids from the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus forums. Nice to see you covering accessories for the N4 as well
as for the case, I'm tempted to order one because of the cheap price tag to hold me over until the Rearth slim gets here but then again it might arrive the same time as my N4

Thanks man! Rearth cases ship on the 30th, so you'd only have this one for a few days. I'm really excited to get the Slim case though, looks terrific and Rearth has yet to disappoint me!
I had one of these for my nexus S and threw it away in the same day.
This is just a piece of rubber bulky trash..
My case came in yesterday from kaycase. I got it for .99 cents!!!
There were several brands selling these on Amazon for various prices. It's hard to pick when there are almost no reviews, because no one has their phone. o.o I ended up buying one from "YESOO" (best name ever) that, for ~$6, came with a stylus too. Sure, why not? I like that they are providing clear options, to keep the N4 sparkle effect, but it's sad that basically no one is making a fully clear case yet. It's all the S design. (Normally that'd be great, but the N4 doesn't need window dressing. ) The Rearth ones look really nice too (very Feather-like) but no clear ones.

I don't think we will be able to get a clear gel case because it would look like it had water under the case like the clear part ot the clear and frosted S case.

How did you get it for only .99? It's 9.99 listed now? Curious. thanks.
I actually have this case for my HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4G). It's been a very durable case that has protected my phone very well (from 8-10 foot drops from a ladder). I'm a construction worker, and this case has outlasted more expensive models from Trident Case. There is one thing I would like to point out to anyone that is thinking of picking this case up. As a construction worker, I'm not always in the cleanest of environments. This case will allow dirt, dust, and sand to collect between the case and the back of the phone. The metal back of the Glacier is very ugly to look at now because of this. As anyone who has looked into Gorilla Glass 2 knows, sand is it's enemy. This is true of all materials though, dirt and sand will wreck havoc on anything. Just a heads up to anyone that's "hard" on their device. Otherwise, I have no complaints, especially the fall protection this case has proven.
I drop my phone a lot.
I ordered one of these from ebay, the clear and frost one for $5 as well. On amazon a lot of the cases were around $10.

I wonder if one of those front-and-back screen protectors would help with that? I've noticed that with other TPU cases I've had too. (For whatever reason, my Feather on my Nexus S hasn't gathered dirt. It's nice.)
Something else that's kind of concerned me with the N4's dual glass, and a TPU case, is accidental side-crushing. Like if you put it in a pocket and then accidentally run into the corner of something. The hard cases are nice for that... aaahh! Choices! :silly: The TPU was cheap so it'll give me some peace of mind until there's more selection, at least.
So many questions!

How much bulk? What are the external dimensions of this case?
Do you use a screen protector? If yes, is the case covering it? touching it? pushing against it?

Hey, I'm the guy that owns this case on his MyTouch 4G. Since your inquiry doesn't have a response, I'll tell you about the version I have. It's the thinnest, sleekest case I have seen for a phone that isn't a skin layer. It actually wraps around the phone, creating a lip for the front of the phone. This is great if the phone ever winds up face down, as it keeps the screen from coming in contact with the surface the phone is lying on.
I would say the case is about 1/32nd of an inch thick, adding a total of maybe a 16th of an inch to the width of the phone (sorry if this isn't helpful, I live in the US and my job consists of a lot of measurements in inches). The sides of the case have a raised diamond plate pattern to it that helps immensely with keeping your grip on the device.
With the case wrapping around the bevels of the screen, I have found that it will push on any full screen protectors I have installed. You can easily wrap the case around the screen protectors to prevent this, but I store my phone in my pocket, so when I reach in there to pull it out, I tend to grip the case which causes it to bend just enough to slip back and push the screen protector again. This of course causes the protector to bow and collect dust. If you can keep the case's edge on the screen protector, I wouldn't see this being an issue, but it is something I have experienced.
As stated, this is my opinion on the version for the MyTouch 4G, though the design seems nearly identical, with the buttons in different places. I hope it's helpful, and perhaps you'll get some information from someone with the Nexus 4 version. I'm hoping to find a durable case for my Nexus 4. With that full glass body, I don't want to hide it, but as stated previously, I'm a construction worker and need to protect it.
$2.30 on dealextreme
I found the standard S-case for $2.30 on dealextreme. I can't post the links because I'm a new member but you can find it if you look it up on their website. Probably cheaper than anywhere else, if you don't mind the shipping times.
I bought one of the ones from Amazon, mainly cause I had a $20 gift card from buying Halo 4 during Black Friday, and so I could use Prime Shipping. Here's the video overview I put together:
Note: I bought this one http://amzn.to/11PmX90 and the photos show the logo on the bottom of the back - this logo is not there on the actual product.
It's really nice. I'd rather have an Otterbox, but this works in the meantime.

I believe Ebay is where they're finding them for $5. You also end up with longer shipping times, etc. Pretty sure it's the same case at the end of the day.

Hey fellas,
I used to post my reviews over on the Galaxy S3 forums (and the Galaxy Nexus, S2 and Nexus S forums before that), but since I've recently gotten my Nexus 4, I decided to start my coverage as soon as possible. As most of you know, brand name cases are still hard to find but should be released in the next few weeks. I decided to pick up a temporary case in the TPU S-Case and wanted to share my thoughts. This is a simple TPU case that offers contrasting matte and glossy portions to create a cool design.
The case offers a moderate amount of protection without adding too much bulk and is extremely affordable at only 5$! I'm happy to take a look at any cases you'd like me to, so feel free to recommend anything! I will be posting a ton more content on the channel. Check out the full review of the S-Case below and let me know what you think:

Thanx mate
This is the one I bought. That's my review (Meg), actually.

Hmm.. it seems to be up to $8. Still, $8 with free shipping isn't terrible.

I was looking for other cases for the Essential phone and came across the incipio.com website. they are currently listing two different cases. The Dualpro is a case I had not seen before it is a Dual Layer Protective case and available in three different colors.

I have the black DualPro case on the way from Cases.com. Incipio was out of stock.
I agree it is steep but this phone is so slick and the case looks solid.
I have the Tudia Tamm coming from Amazon $12.90 they have it in 3 different colors. It’s available on eBay also.

Please post pics and review When you get it.
I have the tudia case from Amazon and I'm looking for a better case. It is very thing and really lose on the sides. I'm want the incepio case but they don't have it in Amazon right now. Also the tudia case peels up my wet install screen protector, but I'm thinking any case will sure to the super slim bezels.

I just bought the dualpro from case.com...they have 10 percent off with code CASES
Mine says it will be here Friday, the wait is killing me. I have been handling this thing with kid gloves, leaving it in my pocket more than usual.
I plan on posting pics and providing my opinion of it. Unfortunately I do not use a screen protector, so I won't be able to speak on compatibility with one. I am going to put the round flat magnet from my vent phone holder (the round one with rubber feet) in between the two layers. I have had success with other cases and if it can confidently hold my Moto X Pure in place the Essential should not be an issue.
It seems like the case (DualPro) gets mostly favorable reviews in Amazon, I noticed that the Pixel price is around $10, where the Pixel 2 is still $29 (on Amazon). I am assuming that over time this case will get cheaper.
I have a similar case on my iPhone 6s made by iLuvvitt and it is rock solid and cost me less than $4 on sale.
Anyone else eyeing the Tudia Glost case that is being released on December 8th? I may pick up the Ocean Green one. It will be $19.90 on Amazon, $16.91 with 15% off coupon code on the page.

Im thinking that case companies are waiting to see if the phone is successful or not. With only 5k phones reported sold right off the start, Im sure case companies do not want to put time and money into an unsuccessful product. Now that you can get the phone from sprint for about 150 bucks im sure the sales and need for cases has gone way up. It seems that all the cases are back ordered.
My case is still not here, USPS says it was delayed. Hopefully it will be here today or Monday. Looks like everyone is out of stock, so at least I have one coming. Hindsight I should have ordered a backup (like the TAMM) on Amazon as soon as I ordered the phone. Live and learn.
Ordered mine from Incipio yesterday.. Got 50 % off and free shipping..

Grrr...out of stock on Incipio's site now
I was thinking of getting one and removing the back to have a bumper only (not sure why nobody has made a bumper case yet) currently have their regular one coming in a few days but I hate the look.
Like you I've been going naked for almost a week and handling it like a small child lol
Finally got my case! Feels premium for sure, but so does my $4 iLuvvitt dual layer case on my iPhone 6s.
Seriously though, it is a nice case. I feel like the inside TPU layer could be carried separately if desired. No issues using the round magnet that came with my vent phone mount between the layers. The rubbery finish on the outside layer shows oils from your hands when you handle it, but every case I have had like this is the same and can be wiped off easily with a microfiber towel.
It definitely adds bulk to the phone, but if you buy a dual layer case you should expect that. Rubber covering the buttons require a little bit of effort to press, cutouts are precise, and the OEM charger plugs in no problem. Having a raised case on the phone helps locate the fingerprint sensor easily.
I recommend it and would buy it again. I can't figure out how to post pics, Tapatalk won't allow me to attach anything.
Did you give the app permission?
