I prefer flip cases...
yayago Premium Flip-New-Style (from Amazon).
Very good quality - leather - very good price...
I'm using the original HTC case for this phone. I got it from eBay, for about 15 Euro. It fits the phone perfectly, as expected. It's scratch-resistant and it looks just dandy. My only grief with it is that the upper front "lip" (the case has sort of a lip close to the power button and headphones jack, maybe to grip the phone a little better) had to be filed off a little, because every time i would slide the phone into the case, the lip would lift my screen protector (it was an easy 10 minute fix).
Had case but not using it anymore. It made Gsm and WiFi signal weak. Now, without case all OK.

Got one free, similar to the OP's but red. Planning on getting the Zagg full body invisible shield for it, should be good at least from the reviews.

Funny that same thing happens with my other device - Note2. And on that I am using genuine Samsung hard shell case.
I got this case from Ebay and it fits like a glove. It's also available in several colors. It's def one of the best fitting cases I've ever had for a phone. :good:

SBS Cover Aero
what do you think about this cover?
http://www.sbsmobile.com/2371_cover-aero-for-htc-one-sv_TEAEROONESVB.html
I was thinking about buying it, it looks different from all the others, looks very smooth, maybe somebody already tried it?
The back side looks very fake, doesn't it?:cyclops:
I don't really need one, but its looking nice.
It cost me about $10. I love it so much:fingers-crossed:

Sorry to reawaken a dead thread, but are you still using this case? Does the white back cover show through around the camera, or does the silicon part cover right up to the black camera cover? Considering either your one or a similar one by the same manufacturer (can't post links apparently, but the eBay item ID is 190846814472).

No problem at all. Hopefully I can help ya out.
I've moved on to the S3 so I no longer have any of these cases. The white, back cover of the SV does show through a little but not much.
Check this link out. It has the case available in 8 color combos. I ended up buying the black rubber w/ red plastic and the one with yellow rubber w/ black plastic. What's so cool about buying a couple is it allows you to mix up the cases and get more options. I had 2 cases and ended up with 4 combos. lol :good:
http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Cell-PH...ickstand/dp/B00B7ZEPDA/ref=sr_1_5/?s=wireless
This case is by far one of the absolute best fitting cases I have ever had and it is very well made. The kickstand comes in very handy too.. This is saying a lot because out of all the phones I've owned, I've probably bought 30 cases. For the price, you can't beat it!!
The white showing through the camera opening is minimal. I shared this case with many of my buddies over in the Android Forums, Boost HTC One SV section and many of them ended up buying it. Every single one of them loved it and not a one said anything about the camera opening. :good:

Thanks for that! Went for red plastic on black silicone. Should get it tomorrow! I might try out the "shellster" case Amster do, seeing as it protects the screen, but it seems bulky...

Aye, this is pretty neat. There's maybe about a 3mm gap around the camera where the white shows, but it actually looks surprisingly nice with the white highlights. The kickstand is extremely tight (had to pop it out with a wee metal ruler) but I'd rather that than have it falling out all the time when I'm not using it!
Sent from my HTC One SV using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It fits like a glove too doesn't it? For the money, it's a very nice case. You can get 1 more case and end up with 4 different color combos. As I mentioned earlier, I bought the red plastic w/ blsck rubber and the black plastic w/ yellow rubber. I used the black on black combo quit a bit. I liked the yellow rubber w/ red plastic too. It was something different that stood out. Easy to spot too! LOL!!!!
I'm glad you like it. My kickstands fit tight too as you mentioned. I'm like you. I would rather have them fit tight than have them flopping open all the time.
I recommend going with Tech Armor screen protectors also. The company has an installation video that if followed correctly, will eliminate bubbles. They have a lifetime warranty too. I went with the HD clear protectors and they look great inside. They're a little difficult to see in the California sunshine though. I talked w/ a buddy of mine who bought the Tech Armor matte protectors. I just sent him one of mine today and he is sending me one of his. I know the matte will not look as good as far as screen clarity but it will probably help cut down on the glare when outside. Seeing as I'm outside a good bit, if the matte is easier to see I'll probably end up ordering a 3 pack of them.
Tech Armor makes a great product and they are well worth the $6 or $7 price tag for a 3 pack. :good:
Hello
knows of a case like this just for the htc?

Should get my desire HD tomorrow and get shut of my iphone 4 but I just can't decide on a case for the thing, I'm leaning towards the case mate tough (had one for both my iPhone 4 and Galaxy S) but I find it a bit on the industrial side, the pop looks nicer but to be honest looks twice the size of the tough, I'm even contemplating just using a screen protector plus official HTC slip case.
If anyone has experience with any or all of those cases your input would be appreciated. Thanks.
I heard a lot of people are using otterbox defender and otterbox commuter. Try searching for it, you might like it.
Wouldn't get anything other than an otterbox commuter from now on for my phones, very impressed with this one
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I've bought a few and my favourite is the Case Mate tough. You wont be disappointed with that one. I have recommended it a few times and others have got it and they are very happy. It improves the DHD feel and obviously offers good protection as its a dual case.
I also have the Case mate pop case thats good too. But I would say go for the Case mate Tough.
Heres a video of the Tough

I'm just wondering and not trying to piss anyone off, but... You've got a phone made out of one-piece metal, it's big enough as it is without any extra and it's almost all screen. So the question here remains why you wan't to have a case for it to begin with? I've had mine since launch and all I've got is an invisibleshield screen protector (just to keep excess fingerprints off, which it does very well, and a little scratch protection just in case) and there's not a single scratch or mark in it anywhere. I've drop it a few times and nothing. I'm just saying that all kinds of bumpers etc are an iphone thing and really not needed with the DHD, which just makes it even greater! Just flash it off as it is Just my 2 cents though.
There are quite a few threads about different cases.
I prefer this one which I reviewed in this thread. They are available under a different name for much cheaper on eBay according to other users. I love the look, lines and feel of the phone with it on.

Yeah that's the kind i got for £3 odd off of amazon, it doesn't add much to the size but it keeps it safe when I drop it and provides some protection to the screen as well
I've got the Otterbox Commuter. Feels well protected but the only draw back with this case is that the silicon cover is a dust magnet (like others made of the same material I'd imagine). It can be a little nagging when trying to pull the phone out of your pocket as well. The weight and feel of the phone in your hand is improved in my opinion -- it doesn't feel as delicate and slippery as the phone is without the case. The plastic casing is rugged, but rather smooth. If you have a dry hand, the potential of it slipping from your hands is there. I like the Case-Mate Pop idea of having a grip on the long edge of the phone.
Also, try to find an alternative cloth/material to wipe the screen down prior to applying the screen protector. The one that comes with it pretty dusty and ruined my screen protector. Use a credit card and not the flimsy applicator card.
If I'm not mistaken, the screen protector that comes with the Otterbox looks nearly identical to the ones you can get off dealextreme (specific to the DHD) for less than a couple of bucks. I wouldn't be surprised if they were in fact the same!
I have a few days to return the case. I'm 80% convinced I want to keep it only because the dust accumulation and "pocket stick" is bothering me enough. If it were a ~25$ case, I could live with it... but for $44 CAD, it's a little tough to swallow.
I'm wondering if there are any fashionable aluminum casings for the HTC Desire (I saw one, but looked a little odd with the belt-clip adapter on the back of the case). I'm also wondering if aluminum interferes with the phone's radio.
Ended up going for the pop, think it's the best looking of the lot offering the same level of protection. I will let you know how I get on with it, cheers for the input guys.

The Case mate Tough in particular greatly improves grip and feel of the phone, without it the DHD feels quite slippery and it just offers good protection.
I think increasing the grip is a bit more important (sorry that I'm posting it on this thread). But the way the DHD was designed, it's a bit awkward to hold which kinda bothers me.
so yeah, getting a case = definitely worth it =)

Got my device yesterday and I'm still thinking of getting a leather case to protect my device against slips. But I'm also looking at hard rubber casing.
S-line curve gel case black
i just received S-line curve gel case
http://cgi.ebay.ch/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...ht_1588wt_1139
its a cheap good case, stylish , doesnt add bulk , adds very good grip on that mesh at the phone's sides , buttons r easy to use and they kinda pop out of the case so they r easily reachable (unlike other gel cases).
definitely recommend it as its very cheap and offers good protection and doesnt distorts the shape of the phone much.

Yes. I got it from Yodobashi Camera (a store) in Japan.
Funnily enough, I'm supposed to be reviewing 2 more cases from the same store today, my day-off (if I can wake up). They are both SoftBank branded cases. One is a TPU case and is almost the same but is different, and one is a leather one (which to be honest I don't like).

I found this case on amazon.
(Since I'm a new user I'm not allowed to post outside links)
But you can find it under the name of "Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case for Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket". Its only $9.90 with free shipping. It has a soft smooth back side which adds a little grip the already slippery back. The only downside for me (might not be a problem for you) is that the volume rocker becomes a more sensitive again that might not be a problem for you.
As soon as I get a chance I will take pictures of the case on the phone as well as off the phone so you guys can see. And I'll update the link when i pass the post limit
Hope this helps!

The gloss black version of that case was one of the first Skyrocket cases ever sold. It's a good case. A few reviews are here on the forum. But post up your pics anways, can't ever have enough pics.
I probably should've checked to see if they already had reviews on it. But yeah hopefully tomorrow I can take the pictures. It looks pretty cool with the white SK.

I used that case til I got my Seidio surface combo. I really liked it. Easy on, easy off, matte finish made it slip in and out of pocket easily. It even fit in my Seidio holster.
The only thing I didnt like about it was the gloss lip around the front, while it looked good, it grabbed pocket lint and made it build up on the screen around the edges.
Good case though. And for less than $10 cant complain much.
Here's a link to the one I bought off eBay.
Yeah that's probably the only other problem I have. But it doesnt really bother me much. A quick wipe with my shirt or something and its gone

That's a good looking case.
I hate the caps though. I'd want to rip them all off.
Does it look flakey or "broken" with the cap removed? Like it's obvious that something used to be there and is now missing?
Or does it look okay?
Any chance you could post a macro picture of where the cap broke off?

Yeah I love this case.. It gives me a awesome looking white touch to it, without the whole phone being all white. Personally think it is ugly when the front is white too. I like the back white.

First two pics are the top headphone cap on and off, last pic is bottom of the phone with the usb cap broken off.
The cut out is because the Japanese version has a antenna for watching TV and it is right on that corner. Look it online and it also has that ugly hardware button in the front instead all touch buttons.

Thanks for the pics.
Looks just fine with the cap ripped off.
I like that the buttons for volume & power are open.
The only thing I don't like about the TPU case is that it has a cover over the volume buttons.
The nice thing about that is the power button is open, so it's easy to know what end is up when you're grabbing the phone while it's in your pocket.

Close but not quite right.
It's because of the Korean version's DMB (digital multimedia broadcasting - i.e. mobile TV) antenna.
By the way, many prefer the physical center button over the capacitive variant offered in the US.
Thanks I was close. Thanks you for clearing this exactly up. I appreciate it.

Otterbox Commuter Series Case for Motorola Photon Q
I've had this case of about a week now. It's definitely a very solid, well built case. I feel confident that my phone will be protected if I happen to drop it, and the case won't shatter in the process (I've had this happen before). My only real complaint is that the gripping surface on the outside of the case feels almost slippery. It's just plastic, no coating to provide a better grip surface, the back is nicely grooved though to provide some grip, and the rest of it does have some texture so it's definitely not a deal breaker.
The screen protector that comes with it is only so so. I'd recommend picking up a Skinomi or Phantom Skinz screen protector when they're finally released.
Overall I would definitely recommend this case, and I would buy it again if I had to.

Thank you for this, I've been eyeballing that case. Though, if the case lacks grip it won't work for me. Here's holding out for a kickstand case!

Thank you for this, I've been eyeballing that case. Though, if the case lacks grip it won't work for me. Here's holding out for a kickstand case!

Awesome! Let me know how it turns out, I might be able to forgive how ugly that thing is if there's a decent kickstand and some grip on the back.
At work we offer the otterbox for staff who get the iphone. Those of us with android have usually been left to fend for ourselves for accessories. The phone stays in my pocket when not in use and I'm not clumsy so I don't really think I need a case for it.
In regards to screen protectors, there were unconfirmed reports that the photon q has gorilla glass, has anyone found any validity to that?
My evo shift did have gorilla glass and it never scratched up on me.

Well I got it and not much to say except it has a kickstand It wasn't as ugly as the pic but its slicker than owl snot
Not sure what Body Glove was thinking. I could get the grip tape out and mod it a little...maybe make it kind of Ironman-ish LOL
But I might return it and stick to the OtterBox one, I have it as well and it's a good one.
So my 2 cents is; if you haven't bought one yet get the Otterbox for sure. Or you could wait, I am sure more styles are on the way.
Thanks for the review. Mine comes in later this afternoon.

IIRC it does have some sort of "nano coating" that makes it very hard to scratch. But my experience has been that no matter how hard it is to scratch I eventually will, so I always get a nice screen protector. I normally stick with Phantom Skinz, they've always done an excellent job of protecting my screen.
Just got the commuter in black and loving it so far! Feels good and has protection all over phone! Something other case I don't see do. For some reason I hate those cases for qwerty phones that has opening and not solid cover pieces for the whole phone

I got the case as well, and the only thing I don't like about it is the screen protector - it doesn't seem like it was designed to fit the screen, at all!?!
I guess I'll get another screen protector from another company. The case itself is good, my only other gripe would be it needs to be grippy on the back - the hard plastic just causes the phone to slide everywhere!!

Yes the screen protector sucks. I use it now til I find a better replacement but I notice otterbox is doing that now with screen protector in the commuter series. I guess to push people into the defender? But since we know they probably not going to make a defender model for the q the screen protector should be better!!! Girl I work with has the white one and i may trade for the white. But hers is already dirty and after awhile its gonna look like crap. Also seems like the white one uses a different kind of finish. Seems thick with case on but next to a epic is was about the same size

I already used the otterbox but when I would like to "release" it from my photon q, its really hard to dismantle the case on the lower part (keyboard part), cause there is no "grip" for our finger..any suggestion?

I like the commuter series Otter Box on my Q but the case around the screen isn't perfectly snug. It has a small amount of play in it anyone else had this problem? or should i probably trade it in for a new one

+1. Not a big fan of the play either, because it does rub on that shiny edge... But oh well. I doubt a new case would solve it.
I used to have a piece of paper folded in my old phone and case so it wouldnt budge.
anyone know if this case is compatible with the vehicle dock? (the otterbox for the Photon 4G blocked the data connector to the vehicle dock.)

No sadly it is not compatible unless you cut off the rubber flap that blocks the ports... if manage to do that then it is still a pain to fit in the dock even with the adapter plate removed... i take it out of the case when it is docked

thank you for the info.
I was perusing the Rearth Case thread and from there came across the i-Blason TPU case. Like the Rearth, it's $10USD well in US, not sure if it's available internationally yet.
I have it on and sporting it right now. I do like it. It gives the phone better grip IMO. The only negative is that it's not clear. I mean you can still see the nexus name but not the sparklies lol. I have also posted a pic of a holster that I had back when the HTC Sensation first came out and I needed some sort of holster before Seidio came out with one. Don't mind the cords lol...

If someone could comment on a good glossy tpu case (maybe this one is), I find those have much better grip than matte.

I don't have a N4 but waiting for one eventually and wanted to see what cases there are. Currently I have a Sensation with an i-Blason case and love it as well. Anyone want to try it out? I personally want a clear/frost one. Other colors are black and pink.

I respectfully disagree with your opinion. For my Sensation, I have both the cheap ebay ones that can be bought for around 2-4 dollars and I currently have the i-Blason. Yes they are similar, but the main difference for me when I got these for my Sensation was that the openings and buttons did not align 100%. With the i-Blason, on the Sensation anyway did. So that is why I was inquiring if anyone has tried these out yet.
But you may be right, you never know with new products, but I want to see the proof in the pudding.
I don't know about their quality yet, but I pre-ordered with them because they claimed to be shipping on the 13th. So I figured I'd pick it up just because it was the first case I saw available.
Well turns out it didn't ship until the 21st and that was the last day of their expected timeframe that it would be delivered. They did not expedite the shipping and would not get back to me about requesting a refund on the shipping.
At this point, even if it's a nice case I'm sending it back. I don't like doing business with companies that fail to communicate (and yes, at least with Google I had someone to call regardless of them knowing something, they still answered. They also honored Free shipping for failing to meet shipping timeframe).
Other than that, I ordered the black one and I'll update with the quality of it and pics with it on the device.

I also ordered this case in Frost Clear.
I was a little disheartened to look at the product photos today and see the true representation of the case on the phone.
When I ordered the case on the 19th, the images they showed on Amazon were obviously Photoshopped, but I had hoped they were a decent representation of the case, just not having an actual model phone to place them on for product photos.
The Frost Clear product on the 19th looked like this in their image : imgur.com/PrIEy.jpg
Now, looking at the new image they have, the thing is near white. : imgur.com/PrIEy.jpg
I should have mine in an hour or two, and can take photos and post if anyone is interested. I'll wait to get it in my hands to determine if I'm satisfied. I was looking for something a bit more subdued and dark, yet clear enough to see the rear design of the phone a bit. This new white frosted version is much the opposite of that.

Hmmm, for my sisters s3 she had also ordered 2 cases. One from I-Blason for 15$ and the same on from hong kong for 2.50$ and in the end I think even the Hong Kong was better but your opinion is your own and I will not change it Its just im in high school and I make sure to get the best deals because I cant just go buy the most expensive ones.
Received mine - Photos
Just got mine in the mail. Again, it's definitely not what I was expecting with the original product shots they used on the amazon page.
Here's the gallery : imgur.com/a/QcCKr
I got this as a stop-gap until the bumper or a nicer case was available, so I'm not cringing so much for the time being, but it definitely looks cheap and looks like a toy with this on.
I was hoping for a more tinted plastic with a dark tinted plastic for the back, as the original images would have you believe.
I can say, for the most part, the new photos are very representative of the final product.
Aside from the looks, it feels pretty secure. the case has a bit of give on the left and right sides of the phone, making it feel squishy. The back part that is frosted isn't very grippy, it's more of a paper-like feel, like they just sanded down the clear material. there's no logos to be seen on the case at all, which i'm actually quite happy about. I figured the i-blason logo was going to be on the back, as some of the images had shown. The clear portions aren't super grippy, but there's a bit more than the bare Nexus 4 had. The buttons are harder to press than they are bare.Kinda hard to get used to the pressure needed. It's not a ton, but more than I'm used to.
There's a notch at the top of the front, for the receiver, which was a nice touch, to keep it fully open. The ridge around the front of the phone covers the chrome completely and comes in on the curved glass almost all the way. the height from screen-plane to top of the ridge is probably no more than 1mm, if that. It's the same thickness as a credit card, if that gives anyone a good indicator.
Overall, I'm alright with the purchase. I wasn't expecting a top quality case, just something to make me feel a bit more secure with it until the right case arrives. I didn't like the common s-curve case, so I got this one. sorta wished I had gotten the dark grey s-curve instead, to have the darker look I wanted.
Hope this helps anyone else out there.

Just got mine, I ordered the black, but amazon sent me the Frost Clear along with the Black, so I got 2 cases for the price of one lol....I can tell you the black looks nice, much nicer then the clear I think, I had a clear one on my S3 and no matter what clear TPU starts to turn yellow over time. Will post some pics in a few of the black. The case looks alot like Diztronic it has a matte black finish on the back and gloss bezel, it covers the curved edge of the glass, which for me is a nice touch since most screen protectors that arent wet apply won't be covering that part of the phone...one thing is the bottom and top edge, since the bezel is covered up my screen protector i had to cut since it was pushing it up other than that great buy for 10 bucks..also the cutouts are perfectly aligned....no complaints fits securely in the case much like a Diztronic case.
And a few more pics
Well I got my covers and id post pictures but they'd just be redundant. Not much to see

Really havent tried the clear one but the black one is grippy enough where its not super slippery like the phone itself. the back feels the same as the matte finishes on my diztronic cases.
Just received my frost clear one in the mail. Honestly wasn't expecting too much out of it, so I'm pretty content with the product. Sorry I don't have another camera on me to take pictures of it with it on the phone, but the updated pictures on their Amazon page comes pretty close. It is clear around with the back having that "frost" look, so you can see the Nexus and LG logo pretty clearly. I would've liked it if the whole case all around was that translucent frost, but IMO it's not too bad. I also wish the cut outs were more precise, especially for the rear speaker. It's just this big cut out as if they just guesstimated it... this is one thing that looks better and more precisely done in the Amazon photos than IRL. But overall it's alright. Only using it so I don't have to be concerned with damaging my phone until I get a nicer case when they start coming out.
For those of you that dislike the stock battery covers for you S IV, I found some nice looking replacements on amazon while browsing for accessories:

***Review: Well I finally got the leather replacement covers in...The black version has an black leather-like material on the back. White version is slightly off white leather-like material. Cut outs and fittings are great. Camera and flash cutouts are more flush with the backing than stock so it seems like better protection from scratching when left on a table. Speaker cutout no longer has the slight bump that you feel on stock. I love the roman numeral "IV" opposed to the "4" that comes stock. Quality feels awesome and I can't leave finger prints on the back of my device now. Also my device isn't twinkling like a twilight vampire on the back (for me that's a plus). S-Beam and NFC still work with the aftermarket as well. Only gripe is that protective plastic cases no longer 100% fit now as the aftermarket battery cover is slightly thicker than stock.

***Review Added 5/16/2013*** Ok...so the carbon fiber variant finally came in. Shipping took a long time (from China) This black version of the carbon fiber replacement battery cover feels similar to the leather variants. I do believe the material is the same if not similar. It does feel nice in my hands and adds a little bit of bulk just as the leather ones did. The camera lens is protected with this cover as it was with the leather one and the speaker cutout is the same. I will use the black carbon fiber more than the leather (i'm a sucker for carbon fiber). I would recommend this over one of the carbon fiber skins as this will not semi peel off and annoy the s*** out of my hand. Installation was as easy as the leather variants and the battery door matches perfectly with my device. I am not worried about cleaning the black version as I don't feel like it can pick up dirt/grime very easily. Signal does not suffer from having the back cover on, NFC and S-Beam work fine as well.

I bought all 4 as my girlfriend got the white s4 and I got black mist. I personally wanted the phones to have a better feel to them and I see most reviews of the s4 people are whining about it as well. As soon as I get them in I will post a review of the fit and quality as the pics from amazon are not that detailed. The leather ones just kills it for me btw can't wait for that one.
I just ordered the black carbon fiber one, can't wait!

I had one of these for my S3. It was great because it added a bit of friction plus was just thick enough to protect the camera lens. Just ordered this one.

I agree with the point about friction, but damnit that thing got dirty! Did you have yours for long?
Now I kind of like the smooth surface again only for the fact that I can use the PuGoo I have placed around my house - on the bathroom mirror, on a cupboard door in the kitchen, etc.... Love that stuff and was kind of disappointed the carbon was too coarse for the it to securely attach to the PuGoo, safely, it would stay for a few seconds and then give out because it couldn't grip it well enough, unlike how your hands could grip the back case nicely when out and about, and I would use the PuGoo about 1% of the time compared to how often I had the phone in my hands, hah

honestly I don't mind the worn leather look that the white version may/may not get, besides I have a plethora of leather cleaners for sneakers in my closet i'm sure one of them can clean it if it gets dirty.

S-Beam and NFC still work with the aftermarket as well. Only gripe is that protective plastic cases no longer 100% fit now as the aftermarket battery cover is slightly thicker than stock.

Once I get them in I will definately post a review on how they fit and the quality of the material.
