Otter Box commuter case

If anybody is looking for a good case for their DHD then I recommend the Otter Box Commuter, great case just got one fits like a glove and will protect really well.
It's in two parts a soft silicone insert with a hard plastic shell over that best I have seen and not to bulky all in black looks mint.

Is this soft enough so that I can put my phone in and take out several times a day or that will be hard to do?

Yeah you can do that easily. The commuter case hasn´t those case mate pop case - problems.

Hello,i've bought Otter Box Defender for moutain bike , a very good case too ...

Have one myself, happy with it , still think it's way overpriced !!
my 2cent

Does this case have any problems with blocking GPS like some people have experienced with the Case-Mate Pop?

No, but it makes the DHD much bigger.
When you take the Phone in your trousers pocket it rubs at the sides of the pocket.
But i need to say, that i have no Otterbox but an similar produkt from amazon ^^

Thanks.
That's quite surprising considering the extra thickness the case provides.

It is a great case - but very pricey compared to simlar types of case - often described as hybrid on eBay.
I bought a two piece silicone and plastic for a Nokia N8 and it only cost about £4.00. One 6th of the Otterbox - but so far there doesn't seem to be any hybrid 2 piece cases for the DHD

I've got the Otterbox Commuter for the HTC Desire HD and i'm not that satisfied about it. Because like you guys said it attracks dust on the silicone. When I was trying to clean the case, IT BROKE

granted one day it'll bite me in the ass but for now its a good advert lol

Nexus 4 Bumpers Confirmed [Back in Stock US 12/11/12]

Google's own Dan Morill has confirmed that "Bumper Cases" will be offered for the Nexus 4. This is the first official accessory that we've heard of after the TouchStone charger.
Dan Morrill 1 hour ago
+Dave Ranucci We've actually got some bumpers (ring-like cases that wrap the side but not the back) coming as accessories for Nexus 4, if that's how you roll.
On the back, there is indeed a small raised ridge, which should prevent scratches if not breaks.

Keep in mind this Nexus 4 doesn't have a ridiculous steel frame. Also the back is Gorilla Glass 2.

Nice, I was hoping for this. I love OEM accessories.

Any pictures of what the bands look like?

God I love bumbers on my phones.

cool! I can't wait to see what they look like.. maybe multiple colors?!

As long as they don't add to much bulk around the edges I'll get one. Unless the design on the back is more ostentatious in person, in which case I'll get a case that covers it.

Possible bumper case?
Look at the purple ring like bumper case in the pictures:

Is that really a bumper or is it just the lighting? If the bumper case is indeed that snug then that would be amazing.

That's definitely just lighting.

I definitively want to get a bumper because I love OEM accessories and this phone looks too good to put in a case.

I've never owned bumpers. Do they really protect devices well? As far as I can tell, they leave the front and the back of devices vulnerable to scratches and breaks. But if I'm wrong, please correct me.

They protect the sides and corners and will absorb shock (although not too well) It is a minimalist case, if you are worried about scratches you could invest in front and back screen protectors or have faith in Corning's Gorilla Glass 2.

I think the combination of a screen protector and a bumper will be enough for all but the most paranoid, Gorilla Glass is able to stand up to a lot of punishment.

Bumpers are awesome!
It doesn't add much bulk and protects the device well.

Mr Shield Screen Protectors - Different than shown

I got the el-cheap-o screen protectors in to use while we all wait for some decent tempered glass options. These things are not the same as what is shown on amazon. i have to assume they will work... although i really don't know.
and this is what amazon looks like.

No problem. I'm sure as soon as the Moto has been in more peoples hands that more proper fitting protectors will surface. For now this will have to do until I get my overpriced protector from Motorola.

Return to Amazon - I have same issues as others. Arent we going to have this issue with ANY screen protector? If it is smaller, you will distinctly feel the "drop off".

Little different
Just got the clear ones in today. Mine aren't what Amazon shows but they differ from the ones you received as well. There are cutouts for the bottom sensors and a centered cutout at the top. It's also smaller than the screen to avoid the curved edges. They actually sent me an email after ordering it explaining why it's smaller than the phone.

Thanks for sharing
I was just looking at these from Amazon, I usually go straight otterbox for my phones and I've found the screen protectors that come with it are adequate so I've never shopped around for other screen protectors. I just got this bumper/case in: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00N3VHD6C
It fits quite snug and I'm wondering how it will sit with a tempered glass cover.

Best looking note 4 case....

Hello guys I personally believe the body glove satin case is the best case design for the note 4. It's very good looking and will get you plenty of compliments. I have the black one for my white note 4.. Also I have the spigen neo hybrid and it's ugly and thick. The body glove satin case is as slim as the note 4 but offers protection and a luxurious design. Check it out here....http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/styles/slim-series/....ps you have to see it in person to know how nice it is...pictures don't do it justice....it also keeps your standard volume keys without covering it up, also the heart rate monitor is fully accessible with this case and even the power button is not covered.....keeps the note 4 looking fancy

@jamesrick80 - these guys are correct - things dealing with Accessories belong in the accessories forum - please post in the correct sections, thanks.

I have the body glove slim case for my Note 2 and its still trucking along. Grips very well on the side and gathers little to no dirt/dust. I only wish that they had a clear color for the Slim

Attractive but not conventional, two step process to see my phone...no way

And for that price the Mont Blanc case, the liner should be real leather not fake.... And come with a hooker for the night

160 pounds for that?
Lol, you can buy the Note 4 for that price in 1 years time.
The best case is UAG.

I just got the Samsung protective cover. Great color(s) and can't wait for red. Slim fitting but still adequate in the most necessary of areas. I'm happy... especially cause I got em both for the price of one.
Sold my neo hybrid. Much bigger than looks in pictures, uncomfortable to hold one handed, can't use the heart rate sensor and not all that grippy for a mostly tpu case.

You literally have to be in the 1% to spend $250 on a case, or you just REALLY like the look, which I doubt would be the case since it doesn't look that special to begin with. It doesn't even make you breakfast.

Wood imitation back cover from ebay

So I was always jealous of OnePlus' wooden battery covers. After realizing that the mi 5 has a removable back, I had no other choice but to buy one myself.
A brief search on ebay provided me with a few choices, and I bought a mahogany one for 9 bucks.
Of course for this price it is nowhere near wooden, but the feel and warmth are kinda same with polycarbonate, instead of the cool glass.
The shipping was terribly slow, but eventually got here, and to be honest it's not half bad. The texture is nonexistent, but the printing and smoothness makes it look like the real thing, unless inspected with macro lens. With the luphie bumper case it pairs up really good.

As it is made of polymer, it absorbs shock, but I don't think a back cover would make much of a difference when dropped, hence it usually lands on the corners. If I were you, I'd buy a bumper case or just a normal case.
