So I read somewhere that some people were having connection problems with the Case-Mate Tough case on. Just wanted to verify if anybody else is, it doesn't seem that I am but I might test it without the case for a little while.
I'm not having any issues with it at all. Liking it so far.
Its the only case I've had and have no issues with it at all. Love it.

It affects my GPS and my reception here in Chattanooga.
Still, I use it most of the time. I like the feel of it, and it's not that big of a deal.
No problems here besy case i have had yet
I've been using the Tough Case since the second day I had my phone. I have had no issues with signal strength whatsoever, GPS or otherwise. I don't like making the phone a little bit bigger, but unfortunately I'm a dropper. Don't know how it would fare against a car like the recent posts about the Otterbox, but I can say that the only damage to my phone is from when I was trying to pry the battery cover off prior to first use .
Another vote for great case/no issues. I love this case! It's kept my Inspire so nice and protected, without incumbering it at all.
The person I got the phone from had it in one of these and I don't see much of a difference (if any at all) between case/no case. Now I just need a decent screen protector. The one that came on it is junk and/or put on poorly.
never thought about it...
Case back on full time.
I just got the case and installed it. Pretty easy to put on. So far it looks and feels great!
I've had the CM TC since I bought the phone and it's worked great, no connection or reception issues I've noticed. My only complaint is the case is starting to delaminate. I noticed this a few days ago, where the satin finish is starting to rub off. Kind of annoying. I'm hoping to get it warrantied from ATT when I go into a store this week.
last night I was talking to my neighbor before heading to wally world and left my phone on the trunk of the car upside down. Luckily, the rubber face kept the phone on the trunk the whole 5 miles to the store. Thank you Tough Case
I had GPS issues with mine...
Much slower lock times...
Sometimes no lock at all indoors..
I went with the seidio innocase..
No GPS issued at all....

no issues here, got the CM Tough shortly after my phone, didn't notice anything then, still no problems.
I have the case as well, and absolutely no issues with it. I dropped it once or twice, but not from really high, maybe a table-top, and there was no physical damage to the phone or case.
Great case!
No issues with mine. Amazing case btw

Hey folks,
I tried searching but could not find the answer. I am about to the buy the otterbox for my lovely G2. I love otterboxes but before I do, anyone know if an extended battery (like this one) would fit with the otterbox on it?
I assume not, based on prior experience the otterbox must be pretty tight but wanted to double check.
Thanks

Pysch. I just read that batteries' description and it seems it does not add any thickness to the battery. Has anyone proven/disproven this?
Also my original question still stands I think as I am still thinking of getting an extended battery. My G2 does last about 10 hours of normal use, but who knows when you might need the extra juice; better safe than sorry I think.
Anything that fits in our existing battery door will work with an Otterbox.
Seidio tends to work OK, though I prefer OEM batteries. HTC makes one for the EVO Design 4G that is 1520mAh and fits inside the G2 perfect as well.
Thanks.
And so is it safe to assume anything does adds even a little bit of bulk does not fit with an otterbox?

If the original battery door closes it should be fine. Any battery that needs its own battery door won't work with the otterbox.

Just want to add that as much as I love the otterbox, I have gone through 3 of them in a year and they are no longer in production so if it breaks you will not be able to get a replacement under warranty

Thanks for the heads up. I have ordered a cheap case from amazon but still desperately want to find an otterbox. Their cases are so amazing, it sucks there are so few out there for the G2. I am a mission now, seems every store online that lists it says its out of stock once you buy and send the money..
I wonder how good the battery life on seido batteries are, currently I'm using a 1520mah oem battery.

I've heard conflicting reports so good luck. I might try on eventually but I'm getting solid life out of stock for now. Finally found an otterbox on eBay and it's coming next week can't wait. .

Just something for everyone to take note of , the Razr I's dimensions are almost the same as the iPhone 5. I thought that it'll be good to start this thread to discuss about which IPhone 5 pouches work well with the Razr I.
Note that I'm talking about Pouches here and not those cases cause it'll be pretty retarded for someone to get a hard cover iPhone 5 case and try to snap it on to the razr I lol...
Here's a good one that I found...

I got this one:

Very simple, perfect fit, cleans the screen and its enough protection if you drop it.
This one works fine for me:

Phone fits fine both on it's own or with an S-Line cover.

Ok, I really want to pick up a RAZR MAXX HD. I have never had a phone this big, though, and can honestly say I prefer smaller phones. I'm coming from Virgin Mobile USA to Verizon because Hurricane Sandy came in and wiped out my cell service at home. Verizon still works fine here, though. Anyways here are my past phones so you can get an idea of what I'm used to:
Optimus V - stock, unrooted
Moto Triumph - stock, rooted
HTC One V - CM10, sickkernel 1.4 gHz (current device)
The RAZR M was a big draw to me because it is almost the exact same size as my One V. However that b**tch Sandy also left me with the sour taste of battery life in my mouth and the RAZR MAXX HD was my initial thought.
So to the point of this thread...
The Triumph was kind of big for my pocket, and the Optimus V was kind of thick for my pocket. I usually carry my phone in my front pants pocket. (I think this is fairly common).
I'm thinking that the RAZR HD will be huge and annoying to carry in my pocket like that so I would like to know how people on XDA carry their's. (belt holster, front pocket, fanny pack, etc.)
I appreciate your input, thanks in advance...
Dude. Just wear it proudly anywhere you like. Before I had Droid X and kept it in front pocket over 2 years with no issues at all. Now I carry Maxx HD inside the belt holster (only because didn't buy tpu cover for it, besides Kevlar should protect it well without it). I have dropped it already on the tiles from about 6 feet...so far so good. My Droid X has been dropped at several occasions and survived without any major scratches to this day. I don't know whether I was just that lucky or Moto made it so sturdy. Bottom line your new phone should fit anywhere you like, and it is only up to you where do you wanna carry it. Ask vz if they let you "test walk" the phone in the store before you buy it and find the most convenient place for it. Good luck.

Its on the larger size but I have absolutely no problem carrying it in my front pants pocket... it is so skinny that it makes up for the width in my opinion. Can you go to a store and play with one to get the feel?
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
I already went to the verizon store to check it out. They have a big fat anti-theft lock on the thing in the store so you can't get a great idea of what the phone actually feels like. I mean, you get an idea of it, but not an especially good one. Anyways, they're usually pretty hesitant about taking stuff out of sealed boxes, especially to let people put it in their pockets and b/c of the hurricane here the store has been really crowded and I haven't bothered waiting for a worker there to ask about feeling a naked phone.
The question was asked just to get others' input on how they carry their phones, just to see if maybe someone out there has a unique idea that works really well for this larger phone. So other prospective buyers can get some ideas as well as myself. I already ordered the phone, I'm just looking for suggestions for when it gets here and an idea if it is awkward or annoying to carry in ur front pants pocket.
Personally I will NEVER wear a belt holster, though. No offense to anyone...
I appreciate ur guys' input, ::: presses thanks button::::
I just put it in my front pants pocket, with nothing else in the pocket and the back of the phone against my leg, I find for me that keeps the screen looking flawless. Never had any issue with it being too big, if you do, you will get used to it pretty fast

Cut a piece of cardboard the same size as the phone, put it in your pocket. It's only marginally thicker than that. I keep my Razr HD in my front pocket, and the maxx is only a couple mm thicker (or ~3/32" for metric-phobes). It's big, yeah, but nicer for web/email than my older Defy, which is nearly 2x as thick.
Idk how thick a gauge of cardboard you're used to but, like i said I've picked this phone up in the store (btw I'm talking about the Maxx) and its way thicker than a piece of cardboard. Based on regular shipping/storage box corrugated cardboard i'd say its at least twice as thick. Yes, the regular Razr HD is thinner but still a bit thicker than a piece of cardboard IMO.
Anyways, thanks to all for your input...
The point of this thread is really just to share how you carry your phone so potential buyers can get an idea of what its like to carry the phone around. Like a share your home screen thread... I'm not looking for the BEST way to carry the phone, or any phone for that matter. Just looking for people to share their opinions.
RMaxxHD, with case, fits just fine in the front pants pocket. Nothing else in the pocket (more to protect the screen from scratches than anything else - I've had folded papers in there with the phone). Or in a "knee" cargo pants pocket. If you can't fit it into your front pocket, you need to go trade in your girlish skinny jeans for a regular pair of men's.
After carry around a Thunderbolt with a Seidio case for 20 months the Maxx HD feels tiny to me. When I pulled out from it's box last night I was really struck by how light and thin it is. I will be grabbing a Seidio Active case for it too as soon as they are available.
Otterbox doesnt have a case for the N4 but the only case they have for LG phones is the Optimus G. I was wonder since is the same hardware would it fix?http://www.otterbox.com/lg-optimus-g-cases/lg-optimus-g-cases,default,sc.html
No it wouldn't fit. They aren't really even close:

(Look at the size specs in the chart)
I wonder if they are going to make one for the Nexus, I have used their cases ever since I first got a smartphone, excellent cases.

At the moment being the key words.
My understanding is that they pretty much always say that, right up until they do make one. I'm still hoping for one.

Don't be so sure, they never produced a case for the Nexus S, I used the Seidio Active for that handset and was glad Otterbox produced a case for the Galaxy Nexus.
They got one for the nexus 7 now, didn't have that for the longest time. What I don't get is how they had the iphone 5 and ipad mini cases ready at launch but it takes them 6 months for a nexus?

Because they know that their ROI (return on investment) will be high. iProducts tend to sell very well.
It's not a matter of Otterbox is having troubles making a commuter or defender case for the Nexus 4 or whatever device you want it on. It's a matter of the business perspective, they don't want to make a case if there isn't enough demand for it because they won't get a ROI back on it.

Well I know they'll make one its just when you need it now it sucks. They did eventually make with the nexus 7 case even though they said they had no plans to. In the meantime I ordered a diztronic, but might grab a commuter when it comes out if it's small and stylish like the galaxy Nexus case, probably won't if it's like my commuter on my Vivid... Very bulky and hard to touch the sides of the screen!

not even worth the time wasted waiting on them... on the other hand ballistic has shown initiative and even released photos of the case on their website

Yeah I can't wait, need a case right away when I get the nexus 4, I ordered a ditztronic. They claim they aren't going to make one, but they are fos. My insignificant htc vivid, a mediocre lte phone slotted in to fill the gap between the inspire 4G and the one x has otterbox cases, in fact I am rocking the commuter on mine right now. If they'll make a case for the Vivid, they'll make a case for anything

Hence the if you feel so inclined. Not everyone likes otterboxes or bulky cases in general but given that the OP obviously wants one I figured I would post it. If you don't care about otterboxes, that's cool maybe the thread isn't for you.
Also be aware there are a number of styles of otterboxes and some are pretty slim. Everyone thinks of the defender but there are others such as the reflex and the prefix. It would also be nice if they made an armor case for it for those who want a waterproof case. Better chance of Otterbox than lifeproof on that one.

Case Mate Tough Case also is very good dropping protection, but sadly the don't support the n4 either
Yeah I say screw otterbox. They've been kissing apples ass too long, ridiculous all the options you can get for an iphone, where as an android phone you get black. And my commutter I had on my vivid was poorly designed with the screen bumpers being in the way of typing in portrait, and my proximity sensor never worked right with it on either.
There are plenty of nicer and more stylish options if you need a heavy duty case. So let otterbox get on with their apple love affair and buy another manufacturers case!
