I love the feel of this phone without a case on it. rather than a case are those skins like bodyguardz or whatever they are called just as effective?
What do I look for and how much can I expect to spend?
I dont believe a skin would "cut it". IF you want some protection, get a soft or hard rubber case. Im sporting the hard rubber clear blue now till otterbox gets here end of month.
I had a Ghost Armor skin on my Gnex the entire time I owned it, worked perfectly.
Its great for preventing scratches or scuffs. Drops? Ehh.. ? Although I have seen friends drop phones w/cases and still break em so?
It also adds more grip, just like a case would, but no extra bulk.
Sadly Ghost Armor has nothing for the One series yet... here are some pics of what I had on the Gnex.

haha I did that a few days before the AT&T one was shipped out, never heard back either.
Ghost armor is great. A kiosk just opened up in the mall near me. I sure hope they get their skins soon
I bought a full body Zagg protector (only covers the screen and back) and I'm happy with it.
Will I buy a case?? Probably not. I don't want to cover the phone and make it even bulkier.
Am I worried about dropping it? Of course but I did a great job without dropping my captivate so I'm pretty confident I won't have issues with only a zagg protector on the HTC One X.
It cost about $30 at ATT.

Any way you can post a picture of the back, I had these on my 3GS but not my inspire... how does it work with the curve of the phone, the corner and the HTC logo on the back.. any issues with not sticking right or anything?

Why wait for Ghost Armor? I just received my BestSkinsEver skin and it covers the whole phone (screen, back and sides w/ no orange peel) and it's cheaper! The invisibleSHIELD only covers the front and the back, no sides. It cost me $8.99 (full body) with $2 shipping... only thing is you have to make your own solution and it comes in an envelope (no box like others).
More pics of your Zagg dude! I want to see how far it covers the sides. Does it go all the way up to the glossy part of the sides?
Just received on the mail my two full body skins from bestskinsever.com
I paid $8.99 for each plus $1 for shipping.

You know that grey sticker above "Beats Audio" comes off, right? Well, it did before it was "protected"..
I've been shopping around for cases. I used to use a bumper on my i4 so I would enjoy a minimalist setup. Probably just going to get it covered at a kiosk in my local mall since I had the same one on my i4 and loved it.

Hello
A few days ago I received the Otterbox Commuter case for my HTC Desire ..
And I want to publish my review on this case .

}
The Commuter Series Case comes in three layers :
Silicone case
Plastic cover
Screen Protector
* Design -
It looks much better from pictures I saw on there web site (www.otterbox.com) .
The case isn't more thick from the TPU Case .
* Quality -
High quality of materials .
There is a big quality difference between this case between 1-5 dollars cases on eBay.
* Protection:
The case feels good in hand .
Protection of three layers as I mentioned earlier
Silicon covers all ports (charging / USB and headphones) it's good thing against dust and moisture.
Silicon is higher from the screen so you can put the phone on the table without danger to the screen. Same thing about the camera , The silicone hard plastic gives you the possibility to put the phone against the back of the device without any damage to the camera .
Anyone who wants better protection than that (though in my opinion do not have to) you need to search for Otterbox Defender Case .
* Price:
Case costs $ 34.95 (without shipping) and you can find this case on - www.otterbox.com
- Advantages and disadvantages in Case that I found so far
Strengths:
Case with three layers -
A screen protector, silicone and hard plastic.
Silicon coverage covering all ports , something that I think is very helpful against dust and moisture.
Coverage isn't really thick .
Very easy to press the volume buttons, power button, something annoys me in TPU was hard to press the power button.
Weaknesses:
One small thing that annoys me is the dust on the accumulates up and down the exposed silicon area (because it's not hard silicone, also it has advantage and disadvantages).
Can be cleaned with a transfer finger on the dust or air.
This is an excellent Case . And this is the end result of my impressions from the Case :
Protection:
4.5 out of 5
Design:
4.5 out of 5
Price:
4 out of 5
Total
4.5 out of 5.
Images :
Hope you enjoyed my review
Thanks!

No one liked the review?
Looks nice! I rather prefer sleeves, but might buy a case for my Desire some day just to make sure it doesn't get any nasty damage .
I don't like this case because (from the pictures) it doesn't protect Desire right where is more fragile - edges.
EDIT: Or it does? :/ It seems like it has 2 covers (rubbers + plastic?)... cannot see really good.
i have one of these. agree 250% with your review. nice job btw. good pictures.
i have had one problem. ive taken the case off and put it back on so many times that the hard plastic cracked and the soft silicone tore a little. but its all gravy still works wonderfully and you cant see the cracked plastic or the tear. plus, i think im going to talk to my accessory vendor or otterbox about replacing my ****. they probably will.

Thank for your comments
Good review. Been rocking one on my Desire for almost a month. My one beef is how slick the hard plastic shell is. It needs a bit more grip to it. Other then that, great case!
How about screen protector
I ordered one commuter case,
And olsa Zagg shield on my desire, What do you think about peeling the old zagg shield ?
The hardcase is a bit too slick. Great review though!

If you don't have any bubbles on your ZAGG screen protector Do not install the otterbox screen protector . Save it until you will have problems with ZAGG .
I can't tell you anything about Otterbox screen protector because I'm using right now Martin Fields screen protector
screen protector works well. No complaints from me
Ive been using this case since the day it came out. I'm a truck and coach/heavy equipment mechanic and its held up quite nicely to the abuse it sees every day. I wonder if the Defender is that much better.

LMAO I totally agree. I went to grab mine, slipped off of the counter top of the sink in my bathroom, and dumped right into my toilet. Fished it out very quickly, phone was fine. well protected thanks to my case. but that sucked!
I had my case in the end. It's ok but it's not stylish as it seems from photos. It's screen protector is easy to install but it's size a little small i think. Case is bulkier than it seems also. But i think it's one of the best in the market. I'm thinking about that Jet black gel cases.

It's not too bulky in my opinion , It gives very good protection relative to his size.
Getting used to it and it Feels better.
I totally agree. I only use otter defender. Size over protection is livable. Dropped mine the other day off a 14 ft ladder and she just bounced no damage what so ever. Can't see using anything else. And defender has protector built in. Bonus.
Set Via XDA App
This is the case if you want protection and not a bulk one.
I lost my phone the last sunday in a snowy park and after 3 days under the snow I found it!
It's in excellent form. Only a scratch on the screen protector because of an iceberg
It was a miracle , I was ready to order a HTC desite hd .
Thank you HTC thank you otterbox
hi all.
can any one suggest a supplier for a Desire S gel/silicon skin/ case similar to the ones for the HTC Wildfire (https://www.amazon.co.uk/EMARTBUY-WILDFIRE-SILICON-COVER-FLORAL/dp/B0043RI9BS/ref=sr_1_21?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1304424909&sr=1-21
Sorry for the long url.
I'm not interested in the "plain gel" cases and I would rather buy new. I'm reasonably happy to use a non-UK supplier so long as they can ship to the UK.
Thanks in advance
I've been surprised and disappointed at how few accessories are available for the Desire S
Check out mobilefun.co.UK
There aren't many cases out there yet. I'm waiting to see if otterbox release one

Have just taken reciept of the otterbox commuter. Took 5 days to ship to UK direct from otterbox and as usual its exceptional quality. Every port has a good flap seal and yet adds no noticable distortion of the design of the phone. Bought it do 35 usd so about 25 gbp

Thanks - ebay to the rescue: case found and bought!
Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.
I finally went for a neat silicone skin on ebay.
Nonetheless it's still frustrating to have to work "so hard" to find accessories for HTC devices.
I know it's not everything but I can't help thinking that Apple have focussed on cultivating a few trusted partners who always seem to release quality (and quantity) accessories whenever a new device is released. It means that generally Apple owners (new and old) can enjoy the whole experience of phone/tablet, case, etc at the same time.
I would suggest that this lends itself to a feeling that the whole world is Apple when they release something.
Here endeth the psalm
UPDATE: Well a little under 1 month after purchase, the gel case is losing shape and barely protecting my phone. Disappointed really - I'd hoped to get a t least 12 months out of the case...
Bought an Otterbox Commuter the other day....can't see a better case for the phone. Classic and perfect fit. Remains to be seen how durable the port covers are tho
The 'Barely there' case is a good price from amazon, but when fitted gives the impression of very little protection!
I got mine from Mobilefun.co.UK: honest price, fast delivery, and looks nice on my DS
Cancelled my order for an Otterbox Commuter from the USA when the seller advised that "Standard Flat-rate International Delivery" meant 7 to 8 weeks! I could doggy-paddle over to the states and back in that time! My boss says I don't have enough holiday left though. Plus it would provide me with too much opportunity to drop the phone (I like outdoor sports/activites) whilst waiting, so I went with the Case-Mate Tough Case. It's what kept my old Desire immaculate for 14 months. Very pleased with it.
It adds a bit of bulk but that's the trade-off isn't it? You want max protection, expect it to add size. The 'Barely There' range of Case-Mate cases are at the other end of the scale. Minimal intrusion on the original design, but only protects the back and corners.
The Tough Case feels very nice to hold and you just stop worrying about dropping it. It also stops the side volume rocker buttons from being easily pressed getting it out your pocket. It is such a pretty phone I take it out the case when at home, and you HAVE to take it out the case when using Google Sat Nav else it overheats. But at least I know if I drop it now, I'll only be worrying what damage I've done to the floor!
hi
http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/htc-desire-s-46185p.html
this is what im using now. got it for rs. 550 in bombay. always wanted a chrome.
Ive had a chance to test out a few cases now between me and my wifes Desire S and here's my quick reviews:
Otterbox Commuter Case: Good strong protection for the phone. It's definately overpriced though, and the rubber lip on the bottom can get a bit loose and unsightly. It attracts dust etc like the plague, and the outer hard shell can get easily scratched. Probably the best protection you can buy for the phone, but does bulk it out a bit. It depends on whether you can live with that trade off. You cant use any docks with this case.
Barely There: Very good case for the curent price on Amazon. It hardly adds to the phone atall. I don't fancy dropping the phone from any great height though. Basically, the opposite to the Commuter case. The phone fits perfectly around the ports and the outer case seems almost scratch resistant. Another bonus is ir seems to work with any dock as it adds very little bulk.
Silicone S Case: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-HTC-DESIR...sesPouches&hash=item43a71eb008#ht_1491wt_1141
Bought this on ebay not expecting much for the money, but it's my favourite case. It looks stylish & fits the ports perfectly. It seems to give good protection all around the case and the side grips are a handy feature. Does't fit the dock, but I can live with that.
Hope this helps someone
Z
I can also vouch for the Case Mate Barely There case. Mine arrived today and very impress with how thin the case is. I tend to avoid using cases as they will always result in the phone to be more bulky but the Barely There is very slim profile and has this smooth rubber surface at the back to give you the added grip. Nevertheless the case is so thin it does make me wonder how durable it is…(only time will tell)
It comes with the case, screen protector and screen cloth and selling for £8.99 @ amazon.
I had a cheap silicon one from bay of the e, to me the phone felt big and bulky but rolled with it as my phone was protected. I have just got the barley there (black) from amazon uk an its brilliant (although the reviews do not rate the screen protector as if you take it off it leaves a glue like residue and its tough to get off I got the HTC screen protector which is great) but the case is amazing hardly notice its there.
the only advantage the silicon one had it that my phone would stand up horizontally whilst watching tv/films on the treadmill due to the silicon being rubbery. The barley there case does it to a point. but still my preference it the barley there it feels 1000% better (plus I can (just about) slip the DS with the barley there case on into the silicon case for the treadmill)
Right waffle over.
I should get my Desire S tomorrow but I have already bought a Case Mate tough case for it, it seems like a good product and I will let you know how I get on with it. I am tempted by the Barely There case for when I want something more low-key.
You'll like the tough case. If like me though, it comes with a screen protector that doesn't fit (was for a different phone I think), just email case mate. I posted back the duffer, and they sent me 4 replacements! Bless em.

You don't mind the top and bottom being exposed then the rock quicksand case or the nillkin super shield.
You want the top and bottom to be covered as well, then the diztronic matte TPU case.
I'm looking for a good cover as well. I just bought this phone and... I'm not going to buy a warranty so I want a good cover lol

raybox959 that Capdase Alumor Jacket looks like a great way to go. Looks like its not that bulky and will protect pretty well, alothough the edges dont appear to be very raised... just a bit. Overall a great way to go. I have the Ballistic SG case and love it, it protects very very well.

I bought the D3O case for my One S. I dropped my phone on concrete from the second story balcony and the only thing wrong was the case had a dent on it. T-Mobile told me that it was designed to absorb shock. As for a screen protector, I couldn't say any of them. I personally do not use one.
Here is a link to the case I have: http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-Protective-Ultimate-Protection-TMobile/dp/B007V73L2E

Hi,
I have already used this site for phone cases and cant complain. The designs are cool and the cases are protective enough without being very bulky. ill write their website but they are selling cheaper on the etsy shop. good luck!! sorry but for some reason i caNT POST THE LINK BUT CHECK out on twitter: @ilovesinage and on etsy shop.

Ballistic Smooth + cheap eBay screen protectors (I prefer matte)
here you go http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=2961&pid=30214
i`m using it and it fits great on the phone.Also..comes with an included screen protector.Wich i didn`t use it.For screen i use a Momax antiglare screen proector.
Screen protector.
I use Krusell as screen protector. Amazing quality and transparency. Use it without problems for 5 months now. A bit expensive but it's worth in my opinion.
Using the t-mobile OEM D30 case on mine.
Got a black one from the t-mobile store on clearance, and a clear one from amazon.
In fact, aside from my workphones which have heavy duty otterboxes, i am going to start using these d30 cases on all my phones.
doesnt add a lot of bulk, and protects well.
As for screen protector, i pretty much grab whichever wet install i can find on amazon cheapest... zagg, armoursuit, ghost armor, whatever.
AW: Can anyone recommend a good case and screen protector?
As case I am using Otterbox Commuter case. It is not super slim but also not too bulky. It protects the phone really well. I don't know how often I dropped my phone now but thanks to Otterbox it is still in perfect shape.

I have the D30 case and screen protectors also bought from the tmobile store a couple of weeks ago when they were on sale. They may still be there since they've been clearanced. It was $14.99 on clearance and is so much better than the cheapo ebay case. It doesn't add a lot of bulk but feels safer. Also, unlike the HOS cases sold at Walmart, the Tmobile ones actually fit the HOS.
i also have the d30 clear case, really good case, feel really good on my hand and doesnt feel heavy , however i prefer the black snap on case from ebay better, just a personal preferences. if anyone want the d30 case, ill be more then likely to give it away for free, just pay for shipping

As for case, the best case is the one that came with the phone Out Of the Box
I've been using the Diztronic matte black flexible tpu case for a couple months now with no complaints. It keeps the phone pretty slim and provides enough of an opening for all ports and buttons. Some may not like that the matte back part does show a good amount of scuffs when viewed at the right angle but I don't mind. Highly recommended.

Agree with others, I have to at least see pictures before ordering.

Here is a review of the iPhone 5 matte black case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Pp9TulOCM0 (exact same construction here)
Here is a cad rendering of the case http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=46_76&products_id=307
Here is a quote from their website "11/30/2012: The first batch of Matte Back Black TPU Cases for the Nexus 4 are on it's way to us from the factory. We are opening up orders now as the first shipment is limited to 1500 pieces. We are estimating a ship date to customers of Tuesday December 4th assuming there are no delays in transit. Pictures will be posted the day they arrive."
Hope this helps! It will be a great case once it arrives, they have really good customer service as well.
I ordered one yesterday because it's probably the best tpu case available at the moment.
I don't want some cheap tpu case that doesn't fit well and looks crappy. Even if it isn't the best looking case, I guarantee its better than anything available on the market right now for tpu cases.
EDIT: use code "xda" for a 10% discount. Worked for me yesterday.

The S-Line cases fit really well. I'll be ordering one of these soon though.
Funny how people are worried about seeing pictures when its not even expensive, I ordered one and will also order their slim case when available

Looking at iPhone 5 review, people seem to be complaining about the aluminum being scratched by the case.
Would that be due to a build-up of dirt inside the case?
I haven't received my Nexus 4 yet, but I really want to protect the delicate aluminum and glass backing, which is why I'm also putting a Skinomi full body guard on it as well as an S-line case.
Please give some feedback for this case when you get it because it looks like a really nice case overall :good:

Its just a build up of dirt and debris. That's why from time to time I always take my phone out of my case and clear out the dust and such inside the case. Solves that problem.

So would you say having a full body screen protector would protect it from any scratching due to dirt being in the case?

Definitely! I bought the cheap XtremeGuard full body protection just for that. I don't want the glass back to be scratched even with a protector. Did you buy one during the sale?

I was looking at the XtremeGuard, and it definitely was a great deal!
However, I decided to get the full body Skinomi off Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechSkin-Protector-Protective-Lifetime/dp/B009W6C4FW/ref=pd_sim_cps_3
It was a little pricier, and it only came with one, but I figured that with the warranty I only really need one.
Additionally, it provided guards for the edges. It might be difficult to get them on just right, but protecting the chrome is really important to me!
Protecting the super nice back is important too.
I ordered one.

I've enver tried that brand but I'm sure it's good! I gott he XO Skinz as well and love it thus far. But yeah, I wanna protect the glass and chrome as much as possible!
Just ordered mine!

Went ahead and ordered. Really like the Diztronic TPU case for my HTC One S - it's made of high quality plastic and has a premium feel to it.
Here's a link to the Diztronic matte black case for the Optimus G: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Flexible-Optimus-Sprint-Rogers/dp/B00A567462/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1354507077&sr=8-11&keywords=diztronic+tpu
Looks great - simple, clean, thin. I haven't actually seen the back of my phone since I first received it so I'm not too bothered with covering up the disco.
Just ordered mine successfully using the "XDA" coupon code as well.
I guess we'll see how it is. Everyone seems to like their cases for other phones.
Case material?
So I have never owned a TPU case, or anything other than hard plastic.
How "rubbery" is this guy? Would it be a pain taking it out of a pocket? Does it attract lint/etc?
I have the rearth case, but it's a little slick...
I need help finding a case that has a belt holster, the phone is too big and too hard to put into my pants sometimes and is very frustrating. My note 2 I used the platinum case. However I would prefer a more 'gel grip' case if possible.
Edit: Must be white!
Yes let me know too!
Yeah I would be interested too. Maybe just a holster as I like the case I have already.
Buy the pelican case through AT&T. Best case out by FAR
I ordered 2 through amazon. The Encased and Cellbee brands. Waiting for them to arrive to seenif they are any good.

i have this in black. its not bad. plenty of protection, built in screen protector (at least till there are some decent glass ones, then its coming off or i'll get a uag to go with it. i cut off the dust covers to the usb and headphone, i just dont like them on any case. i'd rate it a 6 or 7/10. i prefer uag though.
it comes with a holster. not as good of one as say otterbox, but it works and keeps it secure. just not as fluid in and out of it.
Too bad that it must be white. My Seidio Surface is perfect for me.

I'm looking forward to getting my Surface today but even more forward to Seidio releasing the Convert add on kit so I can order that and their Quest car mount.
I think you'll like it. I had the Speigen cases just to get by, and paid more than I needed to for the Seidio on Preorder overnight, but man the thing is almost perfect. I added a flygrip to it which makes it complete for me, obviously not for everyone, but certainly functional. Wish I got just a plain black flygrip, but will have to manage for now.

Eventually when Best Buy gets them they sell the Surface w/ holster for $20 less than Seidio. It's called their Platinum series. But I needed some protection 2 weeks ago when I got the phone. This Seidio Surface is the 4th case I've ordered, the first three orders were cancelled. Between that and the glass screen protector issue it has been a real PITA trying to protect this phone.
My Seidio Surface is junk. It feels cheap around the edges, doesn't seem 100% snug, plus the the top section and the bottom section slide around a little bit at the connection. I am really disappointed in Seidio .

If mine fits like that I'll send it back. If I wasn't able to turn the Surface into the Convert model I never would have ordered it. I think it's way overpriced and underfeatured. Doesn't even have covers for the side rocker switches let alone dust caps for the headphone jack & mini USB port. For $35 + freight to me that's too much money for what the case offers.
to me it has the feeling of a cheap case made in china bought off ebay. ..
Why not look at getting a leather type case that will fit the phone with a case. That's what I'm doing. I have the Incipio case and ordered a leather belt pouch to hold it. I prefer a belt clip, but I am hesitant to use Seidio anymore since my Note 2 days. I had the Surface for the Note 2 and it scratched the heck outta the phone's frame.
I've had better luck with rubber base cases. On my Note 2, I switched to the Otterbox Commuter with its rubber liner and was scratch free. That's why I'm trying the Incipio 2 piece case that has a rubber skin and a plastic outer shell like the Otterbox Commuter.
Thank you all for all of your advice, I am going with the last option of adding a clip that will be detachable. I have to have white, I just don't like the black on white...being that my phone is white... So I ordered this case.

Out of curiosity what kind of belt clip are you going to use that will be detachable for this case?

I'm a modder at heart. So most likely like the guy above did with the clip on the case, however I'm doing research currently to find a way to remove it so the clip can stay on your belt.
Something like this, but even more low profile..

If anyone already has one feel free to post up some pics/review.
Thanks!
On the Android Central forums I think somebody has one of those and reviewed it briefly.
