yeah i like those
those seems to be the best ones available at the moment
This is what I have ordered. Still waiting for it. And I ordered it from different seller (digitalhue) because this one ships only in UK.

Most funny thing is that I will have soon all accessories (pouch, leather case, screen protector, replacement batteries) for the phone but I will have no phone because when galaxy came to Slovenia I was on vacations and when I came back it was already sold out and now I have to wait until september to buy it.
oh wow... wait so long for next shipment? wow that is a long time
Any amazon link for this? Can't order from ebay, no paypal
I'm using the microfiber bag of one of my Oakleys. Perfect.
I am using a fitbag and it fits like a charm. This bags are hand made in germany. Love this one i bought and they're cheap

Sadly yes. They said it will be on sale again on september 1st and what is more sad that I am going again on vacations on that day and I just hope I will get it and it will not be sold out again when I come back...
Anyway, I got MOFI pouch yesterday (really quick delivery - 4 days) and I am more then satisfied. It`s great. It fits galaxy (friend has it) excellent and actually pouch cleans galaxy from dust.
I got a Mofi off Ebay, bit girly with a bead fastener but a pair of scissirs fixed that! excellent quality and its very useful for giving the screen a quick wipe.

Great service from this seller too, took less than 20 hours from ordering to recieving it
What case will you be getting, if any?
Post your $0.02, give a little review, discuss.
I'll start:
I ordered an otterbox commuter series case for the Desire HD, and am crossing my fingers that the Inspire and DHD are exactly the same. I feel like the commuter is the best balance between essential protection, without adding too much more bulk onto an already large device (to me, slimness is a deal breaking factor). When it comes in, and I have the phone on the 13th, I will test it out and report my findings. If it doesn't fit - I'm going to go with the case-mate 'barely there' case. The only reason I did not choose this case - strangely enough - is that it didn't cover the aluminum/glass seams on the front face of the phone.
Has anyone owned an otterbox before? Please comment on the quality, snugness, design etc - let me know what I should expect.
When I first got my Captivate I also ordered the Otterbox Commuter, however it was a bit too bulky for me since I like the aesthetics of the devices that I buy, and it hampered it too much.
With that said, I will first start out with a naked device, then I might move to a PhantomSkinz Chromatic skin. I love those things.
If I want a bit more protection, then I will definitely be getting a CaseMate Barely There too.
Heh, I also just ordered the OtterBox commuter case for DesireHD, it shipped out today. I'm hoping it fits ok, it should...
I love otterbox protection but hate the bulk. I will be going with a casemate gel skin and a gelaskin for the back along with an invisible shield for the screen

I am thinking it will fit perfectly - after doing more case research last night I found that Seidio is advertising cases for the Inspire/DHD. Unless they are purposely making a blanket case with some added "wiggle room", I believe they know for a fact the two devices share the same dimensions.
When did you order yours? I ordered mine last night (2/7/11, 11:30 pm) and have not received a shipping email yet.
Is the commuter really that bulky? I wonder how easy it is to return a case to them...
Edit: Just checked out their return policy. Seems pretty basic, except shipping costs are non refundable. If it turns out I don't like the case, I'll eat the charge for shipping it back to them (I used a coupon code that got 10% off/free shipping).
I will get the accessories package at the at&t store, but if that isn't enough, I may buy this: http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Desire-HD/Case-Mate-HTC-Desire-HD-Clear-Armor.asp
What do you think?

I ordered mine on 2/07 at 2am, and got the shipping confirmation later the same day at 7pm... So that's about 17 hours, lol. I'm guessing that yours will probably ship out by 2/08 at some point? I'm pretty sure we'll get them by the end of the week. I used the same deal, 10% off with free shipping.
I have not seen the OtterBox Commuter cases in person, but they look a lot less bulky than the Defender cases! A friend has the Defender case for iPhone 4 and while it's nice, it's freakin' huge, haha. I think the Commuter series is supposed to be like a lighter version of the Defender, which is exactly what I want.
I always had the gel skin case made by boxwave. It's very easy take off and on. Feels good in your hand. It's doesn't add bulk. They also have one for desire hd which should fit the inspire. I am very excited about the release.

My experience with these cases are never good. While they seem great in theory, I have the way that without fail - dirt and lint get stuck on all of the edges of the plastic. Whether you keep it in your pocket or keep it in your hand, it has happened on every clear shield I have applied. Not to mention they are very tricky to apply to contoured surfaces. They protect from scratches, but don't drop it - your edge will still be exposed (which is probably what is going to hit the ground first)
I have only owned the zagg versions of these, so I don't know if the case mate ones are any different. The last one I owned was actually for an iPhone 4. While I was in the store, despite my previous experiences with them, I thought that it would be a good idea - since the front and back of the iphone 4 are completely flat. While it was a breeze to install, the plastic protector never quite took hold of the glass surface and when I would put it in my pocket, I would remove it to find the protector all disheveled over the phone. I eventually just ripped it off and found a slim hard case.

If you'd like to take a gander, check out this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=123iryBuCcs
It's a home-made vid, but you get the idea.
Thanks for the vid link, case looks awesome, doesnt seem bulky at all
Case
This case has great reviews on an htc desire site. Its made from TPU which is a little harder and less "sticky" than a gel case. Same material as my iphone's iskin case which I've had for over a year. I've dropped it multiple times, and no damage to the phone or case. Prob the best material IMO. Here is the link : http://www.eforcity.com/tpu-rubber-...04.html?efprcggbadtf110207=sc+gb+chtcdesisc04

Probably similar to the Flexishield case I have on my Hero. If so, they are great.
Just ordered that case, $3.79 shipped on eBay.
I plan on getting the seidio innocase II case holster combo for the inspire when it ships
Cool, my OtterBox Commuter case (for Desire HD) came in today! Took 3 days total with (free) shipping via USPS Priority.
The case is NICE! Way better than I expected and really not too bulky looking at all. I'd say no thicker than any other normal case. I like the combination of the rubber + hard shell. The case also has a nice texture to it as well. Now I just hope it fits the Inspire ok, lol.
I pre-ordered from Radio Shack, guy told me they were getting the Inspires in "early" for the 10th, because they're trying to compete with Verizon iPhone (which launches on the 10th). I have no idea if he's right or not, but will call on Thurs afternoon to check, and maybe I'll have a nice surprise...
I preordered mine through radioshack as well i hope they call me earlier than the 13th to come pick it up. i'm paying retail for the phone so i wonder if I'll get the 30 accessorie gift card? Any suggestions?
So we can buy any desire hd case and it will fit the inspire?

I ordered 4 of them from the shack and was told I would get the $30 card for each phone. Also not sure if you did this or not, but on the bottom of your preorder receipt theres a survey link , tkaes about 3 minutes, and at the end you print out a coupon for $10 off your next $40 purchase (picking up the phone )
Whats up world of XDA, I need your help choosing between these four cases. I usually buy them cheapy ones but this time I decided to buy a good one. I'm not sure whether to go with the Seidio Active, the Trident Aegis, the Case-Mate Tough Case, or the Case-Mate Pop! Case. Or should I wait for a better one to come out, (if there is another one coming out). Is there other better ones? Thanks!
Hmmm.... Based on the examples you listed, it seems like you're looking for a tank-like case. Considering how 'new' the Sensation is, you could always wait for more tanky cases to come out. If you don't mind getting something a little less tank-like, take a look at Incipio NGP case. I bought mine for 19.99 with free shipping from the official Incipio site. Also, you might want to look at the NGP incipio case thread under Sensation Accessories. Good luck finding the perfect case.

Yeah, I saw the NGP Incipio case. It looks durable but I need something more as you said "tank like". I got it a month ago and its in perfect condition however I tend to drop my phone a lot. I used to have the Samsung Vibrant and I literally destroyed the chrome sides. I'd rather buy the case than buying a OEM battery cover. So you think I should wait for better ones?
Bump.

Unless you're willing to wait for other xda peeps to post up their experience with any of the cases you listed, you might be better off ordering all of them & personally test each one until you find one that suits 'your needs'. I dunno if you'd be up for such a hassle. Besides, what would you define as "better" in comparison to you're current list?
The Body Glove case with optional kickstand got bad reviews in the beginning because it was the wrong fit(left marks on phone). They've restocked now and it fits much better(they sent me a replacement). Its not too big of a case and not too small. Has good grip.
My 2 cents.

+1 the new BG case is also working out well for me.
If you are like me and the thousands of people who dislike the new Zero Lemon rugged case then this is the one for you. I have no idea why they won't give us the option to buy slim tpu case just like their Note 2, S3, S4 cases so here's the next best thing if you don't want to carry around a brick in your pocket.
As of right now there is no TPU cases available, but for their Note 3 version they do sell tpu cases with their extended batteries.
It's available now! AND it has NFC Been waiting weeks for this

Not for me but would be interested to see a video review of this.
I was glad to learn of this one. I really liked my Note 2 with the Zero Lemon and just a TPU but what they do now it just too much.
I emailed Hyperion today, they say a TPU for the 8k should be out in approx. 2 weeks.

I have this for my S3. The downside is the back cover is not very good quality, so it is already broken and I had to put tape on it, but well... I have with it most than 2 years now.
The new case are not the same as the older ones.
The honeycomb tpu are like the nite 3's
I just ordered this 8000 mAh baby. Do you think they will offer something other than honeycomb for the case?? I hate honeycomb. I was hoping to get something with a kickstand from somewhere. Anybody run into anything that will fit this?? I'm not finding anything and I really need drop protection on this beast.

I know seidio made an extended battery with a case and a kickstand for the Note 3, but the problem is that it could be another month or two for it to release.
Only problem I have with this extended battery is, it's extremely slippery. Still waiting for Hyperion to ship my TPU
I'm sure I can get a belt loop/slide on leather pouch for general protection, but taking it out to talk, text, lend to someone will end up being dropped from time to time.... Like my old S3.
It's just frustrating.

Hi. I have a couple of questions. How thick is the phone with the battery? Does the back feel like hard plastic or vinyl? Do you have any more pics?

The phone is 2 times or 2.3 times thicker than the original. The back is slippery and hard plastic, I would definitely buy the TPU honeycomb because it's too slippery for me (I feel like the S4 stock back even has more grip than this).
I pre ordered the honeycomb tpu case on Dec 11th and they are finally shipping it out today or tomorrow
I will post more pictures once I receive the TPU honeycomb, I'm sure that's what most people would want to see because the back plate is very slippery, with the added weight of the extended battery..I'm sure you would want the protection :good:
I love this battery so far but I can't fully test it because I am still on my 3rd or 4th cycle and I am getting a replacement phone in a few days. Testing would have to wait

Thanks for the reply. A bit disappointing to hear that it is slippery. I would like a battery from seidio as the way the battery cover is cut allows for a bumper to be used as well. I loved that combo for my S3. Unfortunately they told me they have no current plans on making a battery for the note 4.

Sadly the only way to get better grip on it is either their TPU case or maybe slickwraps but not too sure if they would go well together.
Compare it to when you hold a iphone 6 or a htc one m8
I also emailed Anker and Sedio, they currently do not have plans at the moment for extended batteries

That's the reply I got from doing a live chat. I wonder if some of these "premium" companies are bowing out because they can't compete with some of the cheaper price points. Zerolemon and Hyperions batteries are quite a bit less. Also of note, Draco Design has usually been quick to get their bumpers out first, but there is no sign of a Note 4 bumper. I'm waiting on a response from them. For the Note 3, there were several companies that put out $15 bumpers that looked just as nice as Dracos. I'm gonna hold off on an extended battery for a month or so to see if something comes up.

I been bugging Hyperion for a pic of their tpu honeycomb case and sent me this. Apparently they are sold out at the moment from all the pre orders
That thing is hideous. I wish they would make something else. Now, that is just a bottom? And it covers the edges?
Imagine getting this battery and a case added on. WOW. It is thicker than a burger.
Whats wrong with changing regular battery in and out?
One isn't always near to an outlet throughout the day
Hey guys I was thinking about getting a water proof case for my galaxy s5. The two I am looking at are the life proof fre and the otterbox preserver. My only worry about the otterbox preserver is it's bulk. Which do you guys think I should get?
Thanks in advance

I liked the OtterBox Preserver, but it only "snaps" together. Dropping it from a height of 20 cm caused the case to fly apart off the device. It looks nice, had great call and audio quality, but in the category that mattered most, protecting your device, it was pathetic. I returned after my LifeProof Fre came in the mail.
Which, I now use and love every day. My first LifeProof Fre had a mic quality issue. Everyone said I sounded muffled on the phone. Figured out it was the case. Contacted LifeProof, got a replacement in a week. That one has zero issues to this day (been almost a year.)
So I would recommend the LifeProof. My phone looks brand new when I take it out of the case. I highly recommend it.
Thank you for the reply! I was thinking of going with the lifeproof, but the preserver is only $45 at best buy while the fre is $70. I would mainly only need the case for water proofing ( I am generally pretty careful with dropping my phone). How thin is the preserver compared to the lifeproof? I was thinking of buying a used lifeproof on ebay but I would make sure returns are accepted ( I don't want to get scammed with a fake) Do you think this is safe? Also with the s6 lifeproof coming out before too long, do you think the s5 lifeproof price will drop anytime soon? Thanks again, Michael
IVE HAD LIFEPROOFS FRE ON MY S3, S4 AND NOW MY S5'S(WIFE AND i). IVE TAKEN VIDEO AND GREAT PICS UNDER WATER. jUST MAKE SURE U SET THE VOLUME ROCKER FOR PICS. I PERSONALLY WOULDNT GO ANY OTHER ROUTE BUT THATS MY OPINION...OHHH AND THERE WARRANTY....ONE WORD. AMAZING. EVEN WORKS WELL WITH MY SECOND GLASS PROTECTOR.
