Favorite Case - General Topics

Just curious what everyone's Favorite case for their HTC Sensation 4g is? I was looking at otter box but my son's otter box for his iPad has torn apart and that mif's me. Which do you guys like and why?

the case is attractive.

I'm using a Qubits Twill TPU case. It was only a few UK Pounds on Amazon, so it'll probably be less than 5 US Dollars.
I can't post a link yet as this is my first post

case
otterbox!

I prefer Ballistic or Otterbox cases for drop protection

otterbox for Nexus One (strongest cases ever)

otterbox are the Sh*t when it comes to there cases as you can see on youtube when they run over a iphone with a car and drop it in the water
and otterbox are finally bringing it to the nexus one
http://www.otterbox.com/nexus-one-cases/
there are 2 cases
Google Nexus One Impact Series Case
Price: $19.95
and
Google Nexus One Commuter Series Case
Price: $34.95
it look like it dont have screen protection
what you guys think
it's about time!..i have the commuter for my bb9700 and love it...
**just checked and it's not for sale as of yet..
my field of work warrants an otterbox for sure but i want one that is waterproof.
cant have an otter that wont get wet.
cool stuff
I am pretty excited I have never had a phone that Otter made a case for, but my friend has a Defender on his 3Gs and it works for sure! I wish they covered the front of the phone though... I might get the Commuter series, but I already have a Body Glove case and Tough Case from Case-Mate lol
But I signed up to be alerted, because it looks sleek and much stronger than anything I've seen so far!
Edit: The clear film looks like a screen protector for the front! Click on the PDF at the bottom
I also already have the Body Glove for my N1...But that Otter Commuter for the N1 looks seriously kick-ass!

it's a really good idea to sign up for the email notification - companies gauge customer sales by this... ;-)
Just signed up for this bad boy
I'm going to need to see some reviews of this one before buying.
The reason i bought a case-mate tough case is because one person wrote that his nexus one survived a 35 foot drop onto concrete. If this otterbox could do the same and then some, its worth it and i'll buy it. I'll be looking forward to those reviews (and pics) guys. Peace
Whats the difference between them?
Looks like the "Impact" one covers more of the phone? but then its also cheaper?

I have the impact and the commuter for the iPhone. If they are anything like those:
The impact is a simple silicone case, a very nice hardened silicone that doesn't attract nearly as much dust and grime as your typical case.
The commuter may be one piece or it may be two, its like an impact case (silicone) with a hard plastic shell over it, this means that it slips out of your pocket much easier. It also has plugs to plug up the holes that flip out.
I just got a confirmation email from Otter Box that the Nexus One case is now available.
Just put a order in for a commuter case. Shipping was $4.80 for USPS ground. This code gave me 10% ($3.50) off of my order.
amcc0310n (found it here)
I'll post some pictures and a review when it gets here. Anyone have any experience with their screen protectors that comes with the case?
Have seen a few on Iphones they were bubbled. Maybe they didnt install them right. I'm sticking with my amzer screen protector. And using the commander case. I'll have ultimate protection best skin ever, amzer screen protector and otterbox commuter case. SWT
Well I will be ordering a Commuter on payday tomorrow, and I hope that 10% off works haha
Thanks

Justed ordered commute case, thanks for coupon, works good.
Has anyone found a holster that would work with the commuter case for the N1? I have the Seidio Innocase II combo right now and I need the holster for my line of work!!!

Best hard case for sensation 4g?

When I bought my sensation I also bought the body glove case with the belt clip but as most of you know the case was leaving indentations on the back cover. Body glove sent me a replacement but the new ones fits very loose.
So which case do you guys recommend I purchase to replace my body glove case? I prefer hard cases over the soft tpu type cases everybody likes. I also prefer that the case has some sort of rubber or leather type material on the back. I may consider the two piece slider cases if it looks nice.
So I'm open to any suggestions. I haven't seen many threads about hard cases. Please if you can post a picture as well

It seems like a really nice case but I personally don't like the plain and smooth look.

How about this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/4-x-New-Mesh-Hard-Case-Cover-HTC-Sensation-G14-/230640628333
I ordered a set. They're snap on cases, and doesn't protect the top/bottom, also they're flimsy Just a nice looking colored mesh back cover.
I was given one of those cases (the black one) for free by the woman (in China) I bought the phone from.. I looked and saw that dude on eBay has sold 66 sets of 4 cases for $9.99 each and given free shipping to all. I figured he's made $500 from all this because the cases only cost 5RMB each (like $0.80).. good work to him.. damn I need to move to HK haha

Looove the tough cases by them.
Although I wanted something different because I spent a long time with one on my nexus one... time to change it up.
Was gonna go for Incipio's similar hybrid style but they dont have it yet for the sensation
Anyone know of a case like the case-mate tough case or otterbox but on a budget? Can't afford to buy a $30-$49 case right now but I want something with protection, not a tpu case.

nillkin one ,check ebay uk or other marketplace
I got one of these off ebay. For $1.79AUD delivered I am very happy. Pretty good quality really. Protects the front and back and It has all the mic holes too.
It comes with a front piece and and a back piece that clip together.
Iv used the ROCK case, nice and slips on the easiest.

Sensation Otterbox vs. Casemate Tough Case

Hi - was wondering if any one here could shed some feedback on their experience, etc., as to which case to get among these two as I think I've narrowed it down to these two.
I've bought one of those $5.95 Amazon cases which is alright, do I gain anything by buying either one of these.
Thanks
wow 5.95 can you share where to buy it a link please for 5.95

I also own this case and I will say that unless you want a little bit of extra drop protection then you have nothing to gain. The button design and cutouts on this case are perfect. The case is not bulky and gives the phone some traction so it doesn't feel like it's going to slip out of your hands.

If you are looking for the best case with the best look, protection, feel and all that, check out the case mate pop. Its a tight fit so taking the phone in and out take some practice. It gets easier with time though. I have the white one.

waiting for otterbox to come up with a defender case. although might be difficult with the shape of the screen
The Tough is awesome. Good protection, good grip and the fit is nice. Just don't expect it to be pretty. If anything, it reminds me of a tire because of the hard shell's texture lol.
Haven't seen the Otterbox in person, so can't comment on that.
I have the otterbox and the case mate and they are both nice but I prefer the case mate because of the textured back which adds TONS of grip to the back opposed the the slick plastic on the otterbox.
They look the same

CASE MATE is my favorite I have 5 cases but the Case Mate Tough Case never leaves my phone(unless i am swapping battery or memory card ). Also i have had quite a few (high) drops and it is still running perfect.
what i like about the otter over the case mate is that the ports are all coverd in the otterbox
waiting for otterbox to come up with a defender case
Me too but I don't think it will come out

I purchased the body glove when i bought the phone, let me say worst 20 dollars i spent ever. The thing broke from the hinge in my pocket. Either one of these to options is better then the BG
Along with amazon, I find ebay to be even cheaper.
Saw and felt the Otterbox Commuter for me its a good case. It has good all over protection of the phone, However the back side of the otterbox is kinda sleeky than the back cover of the sensation.
I personally have the the Otterbox Commuter case for the HTC Sensation, so I cannot comment on the Casemate. I like the Otterbox for the design to protect the phone between the impact case and gel case together for protection, plus the headphone and USB port covers. The hard plastic impact case is not the best for grip, and the gel part of the case is a major magnet for lint from your pocket.
Hope that helps!
Edit: OK, missed something myself. Wanted a charging dock that supports a case, so I bought one. But it won't work very well if there is a USB port cover, so just something extra to consider!
Does anyone know if they updated the Case-mate tough case design, where originally they had the mic above the camera lens covered? I could have sworn I saw a thread where Case-mate said they were going to update their case and just uncover for that one hole. Just curious if anyone has bought it lately and knows.
I got mine in January I think and it still has that hole covered up. Is that hole supposed to be the noise cancellation mic? I'd have to ask my wife if my call quality has gotten worse since getting this case, but knowing her she wouldn't notice anyway lol.
If anything, it's probably not hard to just drill a tiny hole into the casing.
I have the otterbox commutor, and its sad to say. It is the first Otterbox ive owned that im disappointed in. Due to the top and bottom being rounded. After alot of use in your pocket the rubber on top and bottom loosens and sags. I bought the Otterbox the day it came out and overnighted it. I have yet to find a decent replacement.
In no way would i bash Otterbox on this one product. I have owned other cases for Iphone 3gs, Mytouch 4g and Nook Color. ALL cases were some of the best i have seen. Quality if usually above the rest. I think it is the design due to the large about of exposed rubber on top and bottom.

Otterbox Commuter case vs UAG case?

I currently have an otterbox Commuter case and I think it's on the bulky side. Would getting something like the UAG case be better and offer the same protection from drops? I'd assume that the thicker the case is the more protected?
The UAG case -

after reading about fake UAG cases I'm reluctant to buy one from Amazon unless it is ship and sold by Amazon. last year I unknowingly bought a fake Speck Candyshell case for my wife's S3 that was only fulfilled by Amazon. Their current prices seem too good to be true for a case that was released 2 months ago.

I always buy directly from Amazon for this reason. It's worth the few extra dollars. What is your opinion on the cases I mentioned?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
I don't like the UAG, which I think is overrated. I had one on a previous phone and I didn't like it all. The plastic feels cheap. The top and bottom edges of the case are not hard plastic, only the sides are. Adds bulk.
I always like Speck Candyshells, which I had on previous devices. I immediately got a Candyshell for my S4.
Pros:
-hard plastic on all 4 edges
-slim
Cons:
-scratches show easily on dark color models
-slippery, but there's a grip model
Protection is good. I had it on my Galaxy Note 2 (which is 41% heavier than the S4) and dropped it a few times without any resulting damage.
The Otterbox is too bulky. I would only get that if I worked in construction or similar.
Read this thread. I have both but overall I feel the uag is the better case. I know rock the element eclipse case.

For as boring as Otterbox cases are they are in my opinion still the most well built cases out there. I have a commuter case right now and one of the samsung cases as well, I havent seen another case that will protect as well as the commuter that is as well built. On a side note the commuter case with the Spigen Glas.t nano is amazing.
I had the commuter with my GS2 and I have the UAG case on my GS4, but I have seen the commuter for the GS4 in person.
From what I read, the biggest risk to the phone is the screen breaking, and apparently, the greatest chance of this happening is when the phone is dropped and it lands on a corner. The UAG case has extra protection on the corners more so than for the commuter.
Personally I like the UAG case because it is lighter and not as bulky and offers just as good if not better corner impact protection. The lip around the screen is not at high as the commuter, but it is enough that if you put the phone screen side down, it is elevated off a flat surface.
Otter box is bad lol. Ruins the phone. Worsens signal to. Took mine back and got the neo hybrid

Thanks you guys. Very helpful. I ordered the UAG case.

Rofl what, does not affect the signal at all. The commuter is rubber in the corners and hard plastic everywhere else. No different than the UAG. The UAG is one piece vs commuter two piece, so count that as a pro or con with your preference. I believe the screen is better protected on the front ie a larger lip on the front face. Just dont go saying silly things like it affects the signal.

Any Otterbox Commuter user? M7 & M9 user

Hi Guys,
I bought an Otterbox Commuter White Glacier for HTC M9 from a local online retailer.
Previously I owned an Otterbox Commuter White or HTC M7.
After using the new case for few days I noticed the rubber part felt stiff, compared to flexible and nice-to-press rubber in my HTC M7 Otterbox. I am worried if I happen to bought a fake Otterbox.
Generally:
1. Price is roughly the same with retail I find in Amazon/Otterbox site
2. Box looks okay, but I don't have anything to compare.
3. The case feels okay and solid, again I have nothing to compare. I only noticed the rubber is stiffer just because I own similar Otterbox for previous model before.
My question is:
1. Is there any accurate way to distinguish original Otterbox from its counterfeit?
2. Is the rubber used on Commuter for M9 stiffer than that used in Commuter M7?
Would like to hear your opinion.. (Especially those who also owned Otterbox Commuter for M7).
I have contacted Otterbox, but yet to hear any reply.
Thanks!
