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

I found this case on Amazon .
Did anybody of you already buy it?
It looks very good, and the aluminium plate inside the case should give a very good protection if you put your Nexus 4 in a rucksack or bag with some other things.
Is there a similar leather case with some sort of protection built into it? Because the main downside of this bag is its high price...

Looks like a quality product but the price is pretty high to buy it without any reviews.

Looks good, but $30? Probably not. I'll think about it when it's $20 since it's aluminum plated on ONE SIDE ONLY.

I've ordered it but it won't ship for another week or two. I currently have the SGP Crumena leather pouch for my Galaxy Nexus. They aren't making one for the N4, so I had to hunt down for another similar pull tab case. The only ones I found are this one and another from PDair but theirs does not have the pull tab. I had a Proporta leather case for my old iPod Touch and found it to be very good quality.

Maybe I don't get it, but won't this shield the phone from cell/wifi/etc)

I think you are right, but as richteralan said - the aluminium plate is one side only, and the antennas are on the back - so they should work fine.

I bought one. I'm not typically into these types of cases, but heck, why not?! I've spent $30 on dumber things

Got an email from them. They cancelled my order because of "compatibility issues". Seems like they were intending to use one of their cases for another phone for the N4 and it doesn't fit properly? who knows. pretty annoying though.

Heads up! I bought it before it got discontinued. Just tried it out.
They are right.. It doesn't fit. It's waaaay too tight and the phone doesn't fit all the way in That's a real bummer imho. That's the best looking leather case out there in my opinion.
So if anyone knows of a similar case. Please let me know Doesn't need to Nexus 4 exclusive. Just Nexus 4 compatible

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.

Moto X Syle- What's A Decent Looking Flip Cover?

A Decent looking flip cover
Hello so with my Moto x style on its way i have been hunting for a good looking flip cover.
But the ones i have found so far look super cheap and ugly adding a fair bit of bulk to the device.
Im looking for something like the flip cover you can get for the one plus one from there store its sleek black adds little to no extra bulk.
Has hardly any over hang and most important the phone is firmly in place and wont fall out.
I have been looking on both ebay and amazon and done a general google search without much luck.

That's the thing tho pretty much all of those look kinda eeh like the image you posted it looks like a sheet of cheap plastic.
The nicest one i can find on amazon is the Tetded Moto X Style Hand Crafted Slim Profile Genuine Cowhide Leather Case.
And its only semi decent i cant post a link yet cause i don't have 10 posts and while its decent its not quite what im looking for

Looking for one like this that is perhaps magnetic, and definitely DOESN'T have card slots.
You know, like the samsung ones. They're just a cover that shows the time through if you hit power.

How about this.. They have several different colors on Tetded.com no idea if its any good but it looks nice.

I ordered one from Tetded allso. should be ariving one of these days.

What's your first impression of the tetded case. I ordered a navy blue hardshell from them...

Actually I don't think it's worth the money, it looks quite cheap and at some points it doesn't really fit nicely especially in the lower right corner, there is some space between the back of the phone and the case. Will see what happens with it when I use it a bit more.

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.
