OEM HTC Hard Shell Cases for under $10

I was looking for the HTC metallic cases online, and found them on many sites for $19.95, which I didn't want to pay after seeing some posts on here saying the clips wore down. I found them on htcpedia.com for $8.99 for metallic, and $9.99 for the clear and black ones.

I've never purchased from them but you can use Paypal and there are customer reviews on the products so I gave it a shot. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else was interested!

What do you mean by metallic? are they metal or metal apearance with a plastic build..

That's just what HTC calls them, I don't know. Look at the pics?

Does metallic mean they're like my case? Mine looks plastic but the inside of it is metal, something about the signal, I don't know for sure.

Hmmm, if someone does decide to order, would like to hear a review on the quality.

Search this forum. There previous posts about it. Also a user from here made a YouTube video about the black one. Just search for it on there.
Also ime metallic refers to color and not material.

Here, I got the links for you.

I have the clear case. Bought it at my local T-Mobile store for $9.99. It has a very snug fit but looks amazing as it lets the sexinesss of the G2 show. The case has the stand which allows the phone to sit up on its own in landscape or portrait. Be careful pulling case off the back of the phone. Very tight and if not careful will scratch phone.

I think you're mistaken - these HTC cases don't have kickstands. I think Body Glove or someone made that one.
Anyway, just a quick review - my case got here in 2 days with Fed Ex (NY to IL), I'd definitely buy from that website again. The case made the phone seem bulky at first but after the first day I was used to it, and it doesn't seem odd at all anymore. I like the finish a lot. I would recommend these cases, especially since they're made by HTC and that gives them the best fit possible.

They are great, but they really get in the way when typing on the top row of keys.
Nonsense!

I wish shipping wasn't $6

please recommend case for sensation

I am happy with the original case for touch HD.
I prefer to slide the phone out when using it.
My intention is to protect the phone from dust and scratch when in the pocket.
thanks.

I would prefer the below case. Anyone has used it before?
http://www.amazon.com/Monaco-Vertical-Carrying-Case-Sensation/dp/B0058V25ZY/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_2

so the name for such kind of case is "Vertical Carrying Case"
The below one seems to fit my needs perfectly. any idea?

What exactly is TPU? is it like rubber? i got the Gel Skin from tmobile store free when i got the phone and it serves its purpose but the case just attracts mad pocket lint and dust. does TPU do that?

i dont get why you guys would spend on a case so expensive when you can get one on ebay for a cheaper price.

Hard rubber. It has a nice feel. Has a nice look to it as well.

I have the Melkco (orange stripe on black leather) and I can tell you a few things about it.
1. It looks great. This case lends the Sensation a genuinely premium look and feel. I was (and still continue to be) impressed.
2. It fits perfectly. The handset is snug and does not budge.
3. All sides are covered. The top covers the digitizer completely. No particulates make their way in.
Get it.

Personally I don't like tpu-like case. That is a cloth on the phone which make it look ugly.
I would like to get the phone out pocket, with leather case, looks decent,
draw out the phone, a shiny baby....

Poetic Palette SLIM premium hard case

Poetic may become my favorite accessory maker. They are making sooo many products for our phone. I really like the look of this hard case too. The biggest thing for me is how it covers all the corners where most slim cases only cover the sides.

looks exactly like the Rearth SLIM... plus it uses the name "SLIM"
$5 for a case is quite a steal.

I completely agree, except that it covers all 4 edges. For 5, ill take a gamble on it.

rearth covers all 4 edges.

It leaves the top and botton exposed, no?
This looks like a really nice case though, and seeing how much I'm loving the bumper case, I'll order one of these.

oh... when he defined edge, i thought he meant the corners
this case doesnt necessarily cover the WHOLE edge, it covers more than the rearth one but not all.. cut out for usb is bigger

aww..wouldve jumped on this if its not because it doesnt cover the bezels...
anyways, having a diztronic & soon to arrive poetic-bumper is enough for me.
unless something really cool comes out, Im a happy camper...for now...
hopefully...
what? $5?...man thats cheap..
must....resist...

i have to say i got one of these cases for 5 bucks and its pretty great. now its a 4.50.. no brainer on amazon for that price.

I have one of these and used it prior to my Ringke Fusion case.
It got thrown from the car once in the SLIM case and it did its job well, protected the phone.

Best Cheap case![Air Mesh]Caseology Dual Layer Armor Case

Best Case I've used so far. The caseology dual layer.
It gives great protection, just adds a little bulk, case with a good grip.
There's a lot of cool color combination and best of all its just 7.99$.
the Quality is amazing, you can compare it with those 30-40$ case, I highly recommend this case!

Cool! It's close to my Spigen Neo Hybrid but it costs a third of. Now I'm looking for an economic thinner case. I've seen a lot of tpu cases but the only thing I really want is an edge that protect camera glass.:good::good:

Wife has the purple one on her S5. She loves it and the price was spot on :good: I'm a case whore so I think I'm going to try the gold mesh one for mine, currently using a Spigen.

just bought one of these myself. got the android green one with the iCarez 9H Tempered Glass screen protector. Hope it fits with the case, guess we'll find out!
thanks for the find!

- Off Topic- i just realise
Just bought this real leather flip cove caser on Amazon.de (Germany) for 6,99 euro`s. Link http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00IXEKEW4/ref=pe_386171_38075861_TE_item_image.

Tablets have been utilizing the tech for awhile now, I think it'll be okay unless you have a floppy disk reader or platter-based hard disk in there!

just got the case today. fits really well. the only thing i dont like is the sides seem a little sharp. im sure that will wear down in time. also i recommend the iCarez 9H Tempered Glass screen protector for this phone.

just ordered this. same color as OP. yay for free shipping

I have the case, its nice and good protection also very well priced. But for me this case adds way too much bulk onto the phone, I've made the brave choice to be caseless

I bought a similar pouch a while back for my nexus 6p from the same seller on etsy. She has all sorts of choices on etsy. On etsy there is an option to ask for a little more room to accommodate a bulkier case. Shipped from overseas very quickly.

Thanks. I ended up ordering one shortly after I posted this thread. I'm pretty happy with it. I really ****ing hate cases and screen protectors and all that stupid **** when I'm actually trying to use the device, so this is a good alternative to going completely naked.

I'm using a Shocksock https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pixel-XL-S...1481124207&sr=8-1&keywords=pixel+xl+shocksock. I specifically wanted one that would fit the XL while keeping the back cover. That way the screen is only exposed when I'm using it, but if I drop it the Spigen case (Rugged Armour) should still protect the phone. It was a tight fit at first but it's loosened off nicely and I'm delighted to have found it.

I've used these for several years. They seem to be a good quality pouch.
