Best HTC One s case for me? - HTC One S

I am looking for a case that protects the top and bottom (To stop chipping). The case also has to look good with the black HTC One s and not scratch the phone like some TPU cases do. I like the CaseMate soft case but sadly it has no mic hole Hope someone can help!

The only cases that protect the bottom and top afaik are the silicone/rubber/gel type of cases.
Regarding the no hole for the microphone for the case mate soft and tough, it really isn't that much of an issue IMO and can be easily solved anyway using either a drill bit, eye letter punch or some other form of a cutting tool
See my review of the tough case here:
http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1072819-case-mate-tough/
Below are the results of using a drill bit to make a tiny hole (acting as a "mark") and the eye letter punch to make a "proper" microphone hole

I actually think that this one looks kinda interesting:

It would be difficult to obtain a D3O case outside of US/Canada. ^

I am waiting on this one to come in (ordered 5-5-12) After a recent unfortunate incident involving my Nexus S and a marble countertop + a 6" fall I am taking no chances. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007U6EHXS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
I don't normally do anything except a screen protector but after watching my screen crack down the middle on my nexus s just a week ago I am not taking any chances with this beast of a phone. Just in casethe link doesn't work it is a ballistic case for HTC One S for about $17 from amazon.

You guys gotta wait for the otterbox case. Is not out yet but will be our soon
Sent from my One S.

I actually prefer the ballistic cases over the otterbox. Personally I don't like the complete coverage of the screen in the otterbox defender series and the commuter cases are almost exactly like the ballistic I ordered but the ballistic are generally cheaper and side by side they are just about the same save for some styling differences.

This is the one I purchased and have been using for 3-4 days now and I have to say I'm really happy with the fit and finish of this case, especially considering I spent all of $5.55 on it

I am on my 3rd case since I got my phone a month ago.
The current one is by Diztronic (see the separate thread).
It is a TPU case so the top and bottom are protected, but it has a nice matt finish rather than the shiny effect of most gel cases. Would recommend!

edit: nvm...

Diztronic Matte
I'm thinking to buy the Diztronic Matte but it sais it's for the T-mobile version of the ONE S.
Do you think it will fit the GSM version as well?
It looks so cool.

I also have 2 Nillkin cases, which are very thin (thinner than any tpu I've put on), but this one is definitely even thinner.
There are also "skins" you can put on the phone, but if you ever want to use the phone in a dock, then the skin will cause a problem...so I prefer a thin case that's quick and easy to remove.
Here is the ebay link where I bought mine from. The auction is over, but I'm sure if you click around on that page, you'll find another auction with the same case: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320735735257&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

thanks mm... that's exactly what i'm looking for. anyone else sell something like that in the states?
how long did yours take to arrive?
Anything from hong kong usually takes about 2-3 weeks to arrive
make certain that you notice there are areas of the phone that go unprotected with this case...it's light, quick to pop on and off, looks good, thin in your pocket. But if you drop it on the street, you're might have a problem.
what else do people suggest? if i wanted to go the full corner cover.
There is a pretty good tpu case at Walmart for like 15 bucks. Not thin compared to the nilkin, but covers the corners
EDIT: and is also one of the thinnest tpu cases i've seen
what's the brand name and do you have a link?

this is the case I have. Its cheap and its very thin. I have no problems with it. The only thing slightly off with this case is that it is difficult to hit the up/down volume button and the power button but its not too bad.
Ive been through 3 cases.
Thinnest probably is BodyGlove Grasp. I'm using that now.

Also, if your e looking for good protection, but fairly thin, easy to pull out of pocket, I recommend seidio surface case. It fully covers the case, but is thin and feels good in the hand. Someone here said the case scratched his phone, but I can't even see how thata possible because it is felt lined. I've had it over 2months now, and not a scratch. I got the optional holster with it, and I use it for most of my other cases. I have 8 for this p phone.
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
do you have link for the body glove grasp? I would like to see that?

My friend and I using that case right now, we ordered 2 different date (different sellers) and I got one with full cover and he got the one look like one on the pic. Btw, good case for the price, fit very good, exept the corner on his case.
I've got the TPU case from Amazon (can't post links, not enough posts yet) -- it really isn't thin at all... The corner is not exposed on the one I have. I mean, it was only $2.80 + shipping.. it fits perfectly, but it is just too thick for my taste, so I never use it. Without the case, the phone is nice and thin, with the TPU case, it is just too thick. The whole point in getting this phone it that it was less than 11 mm thick. With the case, it is more like 13 mm... meh..

[Q] Best Case and Screen Protector?

Anyone recommend a nice durable case that offer the most overall protection, with preferably not making it bulky? And what's a nice screen protector? I'm not really rough on my phones, but stuff happens. I just want to be protected.
I came across HTCDepot.com, is that generally a nice, legit site? I came across another one like HTCSensation4gaccessories.com or something, and it doesn't seem too legit.
Thanks
Here's my setup:
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25&zenid=ef4f8d65c98ae0a31c33842ab6b7dec1
A great case. Offers excellent protection, nice grip, and looks cool
For a screen protector:

Does the job rather nicely.
Excellent setup for protection and low-profile, IMO
What's the name of your case? That link doesn't work.

I already have screen protector and now thinking to get a cover. I have a question though, will the cover interfere with my WiFi or bluetooth signals as i see that wifi signal strength drops when i cover the upper area of phone. Will cover do the same thing ? what is yr experience ?

I have the Incipio NGP. http://www.myincipio.com/HTC-Sensat...-Sensation-NGP-Semi-Rigid-Soft-Shell-Case.asp
This things is probably one of the best cases I've ever had as far as my uses go. It's a great fit, extremely durable, and doesn't add a lot of bulk.
My only complaint is that the cutout for the USB port is a little tight, so a lot of third party USB cables will push the case around when you plug them in. The HTC one is fine because the housing on it is nice and compact, but the bigger/more squared off housing on a lot of other cables just doesn't fit as well.
I use Ghost Armor for the screen, mainly because there's a kiosk at the mall near work, and they'll install it for me so I don't get air bubbles, etc.

This one is a lot more rigid than the one T-Mo had from what I can tell.
It has almost no flex around the edges once it's in place. The T-Mo one seemed kind of "floppy" to me.

No, it's not typical silicon case. It's much harder material and does not attract any dirt or dust. This is far more like TPU, but all the TPU cases I've seen for this phone were glossy, this has a matte finish.

[Q] OtterBox Defender and Commuter for HTC ONE S

Hey all, I saw that these became available recently. I was thinking about getting one for when I do rougher activites but was concerned about taking away from the slimness of the phone. I already have the OEM HTC matte black slim case. Anyone get this yet or have any feedback on it's build quality, size, weight and fit/finish?
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-one-s-cases/htc-one-s-cases,default,sc.html
I am interested as well. I figure the slimness of this phone will help making any decent case that much more appealing. My friend has a case on his S2 and that thing is a BEAST.
im in the same boat. Since the phone is so small, i figured that the otterbox couldn't add that much heft to it. Now i'm anxiously waiting!!
HD2: 4.76" x 2.64" x 0.43"
One S: 5.15" x 2.56" x 0.31"
As you can see, the HD2 was pretty slim for a 4.3" phone, and the defender turns it into a 5.1" x 2.93" x 0.8" beast. It does however protect in every way possible, with lenses over the camera and flash, some sort of rubber membrane over the speakerphone, a rubber flap over the ports, a built in hard screen protector, and soft rubber stretched over strong plastic everywhere else. It comes with a belt holster that rotates and allows the phone to be securely snapped in face first, back first, or rotated 180* and functions as a dual angle kickstand in portrait or landscape. The whole thing is surprisingly light given its strength, but it had one big drawback that otterbox has hopefully resolved by now: it was far too easy to get contaminants underneath the screen protector, and once there it was very difficult to keep clean, clear, and smudge free.
Given the cost difference and my preference to go without a screen protector I'm saving for the case mate tough case, and for day to day use I'm happy with my diztronic.
For the Commuter case the dimensions on Otters site are 5.4 in x 2.81 in x 0.56 in
For the Defender Case the dimensions on Otters site are 5.48 in x 2.89 in x 0.67 in
The Dimensions for the One S: 5.15" x 2.55" x 0.31"
Both cases add size but IMO they won't make this phone a brick.
I don't have either of the otterbox cases for this phone, I do have the Ballistic though. The ballistic is most similar to the Otterbox Defender series. In my opinion the case does not not a significant amount of bulk to the phone and it still fits very comfortably in my pocket as well a stand I have on my desk. I can provide pictures of it if your are curious.

just ordered my commuter series case, had one for my evo before i switched to an HD2. I think a little bit of extra security is worth it over cosmetic appeal of slimness. Just my thoughts
Just got my commuter case this morning ill try to post some pics later tonight. This is my first otterbox case and as far as looks I really don't like how it looks, but I gues it gets the job done. The case doesn't really add to much bulk, it just as wide as my d30 case and you don't really lose to much thinness.

Commuter is good comes with a screen protecter and the inside is made of rubber and the out of some weird rough plastic, overall the case is good for any kind of drops, thickness wise its as big as an n1 with no case

Quick question, is the case 1 piece or 2 pieces that snap together to fit the phone? I can't tell and wasn't sure after looking at the website.
rubber for the cover, hard plastic for the frame, 2piece and a screen protector but fugg that it leaves a dirty imprint after u take it off
Loving my commuter case ...dropped my phone from 3 ft not a scratch anywhere on the case feels good
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
Has anyone picked up the Defender? I'm fairly certain that the One S is going to be my next phone but I work construction currently and that can be pretty hard on phones (Actually, my Milestone/Droid held up very well...Desire Z not so much). The two threads in the main forum about the screen breaking easily are worrying me a bit and an Otterbox is going to be a necessity here.
Is the Defender THAT much bigger than the Commuter? And apart from the clip, is it really that much more durable? I've checked the site and read what's there, but looking for real world experience from users (of both the One S and previous phones here).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[REVIEW] Otterbox Defender (ATT/Rogers)

Fits like a glove as it is meant for the ATT/Rogers version. All holes line up. The rubber is tougher and less shiny than the normal rubber otterbox uses (which i thought thank god) The only thing i dont like/not used to yet is how the phone mounts into the belt clip. You have to slowly "wedge it out" Here are some pictures. Any questions? The temperature after playing a game for 25 min is 43c (without case it was around 39c)

Whats your opinion on the power button? Is difficult to press?
Very easy. I notice i dont have to push as hard as my ebay rubber case i had before. Volume buttons are also easily pushed. The screen protector takes a bit away from the clarity. Still debating on popping it off or not.

I recommend just popping it out, especially if you already use a screen protector. It comes out rather easy and the adhesive strip can be pulled out in practically one piece. The only thing I would suggest is to use something like a small piece of duct tape to remove the left over residual adhesive from inside the frame.
Does anyone have the purple and teal otterbox? I really want one!
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
They have not been released anywhere yet. ATT nor Otterbox carry them yet. I was told within the next few weeks.
It depends on your area, because most ATT store here in Hawaii had both Commuter and Defender Cases, I originally went with the commuter case but felt it added too much thickness and took away the design of the phone, so bought Htcs slim case. The have improved a lot in terms of rubber material and fit, especially coming from the evo 3d case.

The plastic is very very very smooth like butter, but has friction between hard surfaces..so if you stick the phone in your hand with the case on itll slide if you move your hand back & forth..the edge of the case barely covers the phones curved glass, Im guessing to put it in and tale it out, has no play,and just seems like a good ol' hardcase
The more i handle it,the plastic should get grippier, ill update on that
No snap,crackle,pop noises from this case, put it on and done
+1 to a simple case, as my first case for the phone its clean&simple
Looks like the sides come up farther than on the ringke case. But looks good otherwise.

Just got the same case last night. I HATE using cases but this one is really nice. I would absolutely recommend one. Fits like a glove and feels great. It doesn't attract lint like some plastic cases.

...no,
Add another thumbs up to the Diztronic. My first case from them I, that I decided to get based on comments here. So far the best case I've seen for the Nexus 4 (at least until a decent 2-component case like the Otterbox Commuter etc. comes along).
Nexus 4 Diztronic Hardshell Case Review
$9.99- Amazon Link
$9.99- Diztronic Link
Design
5/5
First of all, this case is EXTREMELY thin. It's only 1mm thin, making it 25% thinner than the original TPU case. The back has a non glossy Diztronic logo on it and a slot cut open for the camera and speakers. It is a bit slippery, but won't catch lint on it or attract finger prints. Unlike other shell cases, this one isn't hard to take in and out. However, you definitely want to take it out periodically to make sure debris doesn't get caught in it and scratch the case. The edges of the case just barely go over the screen making a bit of a "lip". The lip is barely there and you may be able to fit a screen protector on it. The buttons are left exposed on the case making pressing the power button and volume rockers very easy.
Protection
4/5
This case does a decent job at protecting the phone while still keeping a thin profile. The top and bottom of the case are left somewhat vulnerable, yet I understand how it would be tough to cover that part while making the case a "hardshell". Keep in mind this case is only 1mm thick, so I'm grading the protection based on the case's target audience.
Final Verdict
4.5/5
This may be the thinnest case to ever hit the market. At $9.95 you get a lot of bang for your buck; this is a high quality case made with premium materials. You can tell Diztronic took the time to make sure they got everything right. This case is so thin you won't even notice it while still giving you some protection.
Def the best case so far, for the money

Hi, do you happen to have the similar Rearth Ringke and Nilkin Matte Hard Cover cases? If so, comparing all 3 in detail in one video would be AWESOME and help everyone in this forum, I think...

Yep I am using it with a Seidio Surface holster. Looks and feels great! Aside from the speaker alignment, it's my fav case. It actually took me away from the official bumper because now I get a holster which has a smaller footprint when on my belt lol.
Mods should combine all diztronic related threads,.. TOO MANY OF THE SAME TOPICS
