Case-Mate Tough: 2 thumbs up

I got my Case-Mate Tough and I am really liking it.
The hard outer shell allows for easy removal from pockets, which is huge for me.
Overall, I like it a little more than an Otterbox Defender I had for the iPhone. I feel like it will protect just as well and it is simpler and less bulky. I feel like a normal drop, from a normal height, it will hold up just as well as a Defender.
I would definitely recommend this case.

I ordered one last night. I had it for the Nexus One and loved it. Can't wait for it to get here.

Where did you buy it from and do you have any pics of the case.

Any comments on the included screen protection? I am trying to decide between ordering one of these and waiting for an Otterbox commuter or defender.

Screen protection?

most screen protectors that come with these cases are garbage, you're better off shelling out a few extra bucks and getting a zagg or clear coat.

Ditto. I have it and love it. Loved it on my nexus also.

I tried looking for this case, but couldnt find anything. Where did you order it from?

Don't guess you looked very hard. My first Google search brought this up:
http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Desire-HD/Case-Mate-HTC-Desire-HD-Barely-There-Case.asp
$19.99 direct from CaseMate. A little cheaper than on the AT&T site that had them for 24.99 but I don't know about shipping costs.

Got one for the Inspire and one for the HD2, $29.98 total shipped.
Case-Mate site has free 4-6 day shipping.
Thanks for the heads up OP!

i picked one up at work today and it really nice, color me impressed. Still thinking about getting the pop! case from them as well.

Screen protector that came with it is not great but it works. Had a zagg on my first inspire and I didn't like it. I couldn't remove it and reuse it so AT&T has it now, but the spray you put on the film leaves bubbles underneath and that bugged me.

I just got mine today. I love the case but
I thought the case mate tough didn't cover the buttons?
and mine didn't come with a screen protector?
I ordered from ATT

Which case should I buy?

I'm upgrading to an Inspire soon and I was wondering if I should get a silicone case or a plastic case. I didn't have a case on my Aria (which I'm using right now) and the screen is shattered so I decided to buy a case. So which case is better? Which can protect the phone better and which one would you prefer (as Inspire users) looks better? Thanks

So far my favorite is the otterbox commuter. I plan to buy the defender soon to see how I like it.

It does add some bulk. That's why I like the commuter. It doesn't have as much protection, but it also doesn't have too much bulk. It kind of meets in the middle.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk

i highly recommend anything made by otterbox, everything they have gives great protection to your phone, believe me, ive dropped my phone too many times and so far nothing bad or drastic has occured.

Been using the Platinum series from best buy since the phone was released. If I'm not mistaken, it's the same as the surface combo by Seidio. Dropped it a couple of times, no damage. Screen is covered by the holster.

I personally use the qmadix case that i got from my work, and its been great coupled with my invisi-shield screen protector.

Case mate pop I have the commuter, but prefer the case mate pop

Seidio CONVERT Combo for HTC Inspire 4G
Its makes the phone huge but i drive alot and I made a clip holder in truck to use navi and music. It has 3 Layers plus the clip. I payed $50 and now it like $35 at bestbuy.

I need a really thin case. What do you guys recommend?
Posted with my model confused HTC Inspire via XDA premium.

Otterbox Defender all the way is my choice. Does make phone a little bulky but as clumsy as I am I dropped it already 3 times and as pricey as this phone is I dont care about outside looks I care about protection for it.

Otterbox all the way. I have the commuter and my first one got a crack From a nasty drop I sent one email to them and they responded immediately and within a day they had gotten me a replacement case shipped out. They have some of the best customer care I've ever seen, not to mention the case most definitely has saved my phone on a number of occasions.
Sent through the power of Cthulhu!

Otterbox commuter case is good, not too big either. The defender has more protection but it is big and bulky.

A TPU case is what I use.

The platinum case from bestbuy is only 29.99 and it does not hinder the GPS signal strength. Cases that cover the area between the flash and speaker weaken GPS signal cause the GPS radio is placed there.

Cover Case for the Inspire 4g
I am using Moshi cover case for Inspire 4 g which is very useful. It was made for HD7 but it fits with inspire.

I use an Otterbox Defender and it saved my phone once after a drop. They are a bit more money, however you can get a decent price on Amazon. Had a speck when I first bought the phone. It broke 3 weeks later just putting it in and out of my pocket.

I'm using the Seidio Surface case for mine and I do like it. I've had a few drops onto hardwood floor and concrete slab in the garage and it has protected it great so far. However, with the price of the otterbox down from what I remember seeing it back when I first got my phone it might be well worth it to get that one, as it's not much more than the Seidio now.

Otter box defender...hands down. My Co worker's husband was so impressed with mine, he had me order him one for his Vivid.
Bought it from newegg hellafied cheaper than the otterbox site.

Kudos to Otterbox

Just wanted to give props to Otterbox. I have the Defender case and I wear it everyday on my belt to work as an IT Support Engineer. Today I was getting into the CEO's Jaguar and the belt clip caught on his leather seat and busted. I was not pleased but I called Otterbox and they said no problem we will send you a couple of spare belt clips no problem!!! Now that is customer service and I am glad I bought the Defender even though it cost a fortune.

Do you have any scratches on the top part of the chrome band of the phone?

Yeah that's a side effect of having it I suppose. Mine has light hardly noticeable ones.

Did you order it from otterbox directly? I broke my clip, but I ordered from ebay.

How is the skyrocket with defender, is it small enough to fit into a pocket or its the best with the belt clip?

Otterbox has saved my phone on many occasions since I got one. I've never broken a phone but my Galaxy Skyrocket feels so light and breakable.
I would highly recommend any Otterbox products to anybody!

I got the commuter and had a crack develop on the outer shell from the inside of the USB port outward. I submitted a support ticket on their site and the next day received a shipping confirmation and email for my replacement case! I was totally blown away, amazing to find a company that so painlessly stands by their products!
Ordered from Amazon fyi.

Huge Otterbox fan, had them on all of my iPhones. Was going to get one for my Skyrocket but got a Sedio Active case thrown in for free. Otterbox quality is fantastic though.

Dropped my Otterbox Defender cased phone on almost ANY surface you can imagine and I've yet to have a phone even scratched. The case may look like hell, but the phone always survives so I've always been sold.
BTW: I used Otterbox cases back before they started making phone cases. They made weather resistant cases for field data equipment that were always the gold standard so they've got 10+ years experience with their stuff! :good:

I've got a Defender on my Skyrocket. Bought it from Amazon to keep the price reasonable (~$35 incl. shipping), and it's taken plenty of hits without the phone being damaged at all. By far the best phone case I've had, even if it is on the bulky side.

I have the otter box "impact".. I like it better than the defender due to small size... and my phone bounces

I have a Defender for my Skyrocket, and it's saved me a couple of cracked screens for sure! I've had a Defender for my Blackberry Bold, iPhone, Atrix, and Defender. I won't buy a phone until I know there's going to be a Defender for it
Their customer service is top notch. Had to get a few replacement belt clips from them in the past, always prompt and free
I do have one question though, has anybody gotten either of the other series (impact or commuter) for their Skyrocket? I need a case for the weekends that I can put in my pocket and not have to worry about looking like a retard when I TRY to pull my phone out of my pocket.

Impact is a pita in the pocket. Rubber case is high friction.

I love otterbox. They always send me replacements and are so nice about it.
I also like ballistic cases. They send parts too. Sent me a new case in a different color when I had mine come apart from too many battery pulls.
I have two otterbox defenders for the infuse and two ballistic hc's for the infuse.
Otterbox defender on the way this week for this skyrocket. Two color, can't wait to get it. Working as a glazier (glass guy) I really depend on a good case with belt holster / clip.

Very good cases. Bought the black one for myself a few months ago. It's my favorite case so far, and I have a bit of a case "problem," as I'm sure a lot of you do. It's also considerably lighter than you may think. The pictures seem to imply that it's far more bulky than it is.

Lol!
I never had a case problem until the S4.
Now it has become an addiction
Before the S4, I never even owned a single case.
But after the screen cracked on my S3 from a 12" drop onto concrete, and the crap I had to go through with Austrian, sending back a defective replacement and not having a 32gb model in blue available to send me, I said I'll be buying a case for my S4.
Even though I have Tmo insurance for loss, theft, breakage, etc, having a case may avoid needing any replacements, but with the $650 or so price tags of the S4, I carry insurance just in case.
The UAG is one of the most protective of cases in a very minimal form factory, although @&34.95, it is a little on the high side. The sale price is very good though.
I have the Scout, and just ordered the Maverick.

These are cheaper on amazon and a better deal if you are a prime member as well.

The Maverick/Ice case won't be available from Amazon directly until February.
It's only available from a third party on Amazon, which brings the price with shipping to $30.43
The other cases, even with free shipping (available with over $35 in orders, or with Prime) still don't beat the UAG prices with the $5 off, of $19.47, except for the Slate model which $18.16, but that's only if you can get free shipping.

Do these fit well? I'm always really skeptical when buying replacement battery covers for the S4 because it seems like they need to be so precisely made.

The fitment is excellent.
The locking tabs of these battery covers all snap into place tightly with no wiggle, along the entire cover perimeter.
The only thing which may be an issue, depending on the case you use, is that these covers are just a hair thicker than the stock cover due to the coating of paint. And I mean just a hair thicker.
For instance, there are no fitment issues with the UGA, Otterbox Commuter, Otterbox Defender, Speck Candyshell or Cynett Workmate Evolution cases. There is an issue with the Tech 21 Impact Mesh Smoke case because the Tech 21 fits very tightly with the stock cover, and has no clearance for the hair increase in thickness of the painted covers.
The Anker battery with NFC is slightly thicker than the stock battery, but the covers I linked to snap and fit fine, as do the stock battery covers.

Motorola X Play Case Availability

Has anyone else has trouble buying a case? I've found multiple sellers on both Amazon and eBay, but they all have the same problem. The shipping for the case is delayed by about 2 weeks+. Most of the delivery estimates tell me it will deliver to me by September 16- October 4. Kind of bummed about this since I just bought my phone yesterday, and would like to use it with a case.
For reference I live in Canada, but when I try to find a case for almost any other phone you can get it fast. I know the phone hasn't been out very long, but it's already been a few weeks, if I'm not mistaken.

I think it depends on how well the phone had been leaked / shown previous to launch.
I don't think many were expecting a x play so perhaps they didn't show it to case companies.
Annoying.
I have a case and screen protector on order and won't be using until I get them.

I know the feeling! I was actually considering the Cruzerlite bugdroid case until I saw the crazy delivery times.
I ended up going with the Motorola flip cover for now. $40 at Bell, $45 everywhere else

For anyone wondering I got a sleo slimline case which came really quick from Amazon.
Decent slimline case for the few quid I paid for it.
I tend to change my cases regularly so cheap and cheerful is OK for me.

When I bought it at the end of August, there was no OtterBox case available. It was important for me to have some kind of protection because I dropped my last phone often. Instead of the OtterBox, I got a slim silicon case and a screen protector, which protect against impact.

Have you tried Telus or Koodo? at my Friends telus they had a case for our phone.

Both Telus and Koodo have cases. The screen protectors are $15 (for the 2 pack no warranty), $35 for the single with warranty. I forgot how much the cases were, but they did have the one where you replace the back cover with the flip one (with the credit card slot on it).
But when I spoke to someone at Koodo, they said that the colored backs were online only. At least that's what the Moto rep told him.

Bell has the flip cover with the card slot for $40 (Telus & Koodo charge $45). They also have a little gel case for $20 but I wouldn't get it (buttons are way too hard to press)

For those wondering what the official flip cover looks like, here's the Teal version. The pattern is the same as the standard back cover, but feels more "grippy."

There are new cases from Incipio available:
