What case is your Desire wearing?

What case are you using?
I think I'll buy this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HARD-RUBBER-CAS...273299?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f03f42bd3
What do you say? Is it good? Bad?
Is there a better solution?

I have one like that. And I modded a moneyclip on the backside. Now its phone cover and wallet 2 in 1.

I have that case. It's really good and doesn't add too much thickness to the phone. It fits well too. I've used two cases with my phone and this us by far the better one.

I'm using an otterbox commuter case. I figured why not spend more to keep my desire nice. Best case I've ever had for ANY phone.

You beat me to it, I have the Commuter for my HD2 and Desire, probably the best made case you can get your hands on.

I've got a Case Mate Tough, looks pretty good and the protection is excellent.

I use the black case on deal extreme, it fits perfectly on my HTC desire.

Yeah, it's very nice but costs 32$ more than Hard Rubber case...
I can buy headphones for 30$

Cheaper than you think : around 17 euros ...

using the dcmugen epik case from ebay, so happy with it because it's not a dust magnet

Official HTC pull tab leather case - I only ever buy OEM

no case, only a leather bag.

Case Mate Tough, possibly the best fit i've come across.

my is naked. case makes its sexy body fat and ugly!!

This leather flip case that i order the day before yesterday turned up today and the phone fits nice and snug. i dont expect it to last long, possibly a month or 2? but good for keeping as a spare.
I have a zagg shield and gel case on its way

I'm nothing but happy with my Otterbox Commuter for my Desire. +1.

no.. but you can't go wrong with seidio cover cases.. they go for $30-20 online but you can hopefully fine them at your local best buy stores for $10. I'm happy with my cover.. it's not slick as carbon fiber or metal nor it's rough, i can say the case is just perfect..

There are also the "Chrome" Casemate Barely-there's on Ebay, fwiw.

I'm leaning towards this one it has a metal back finish with a silicone wrapping the phone. What do you guys think?

Hay thanks, saw your link, purchased it, applied it. Ive been looking for a nice carbon fiber case/skin. Its just unfortunate that the nexus one doesnt have to many case options. heres a couple picks. i believe they're 3m di-noc carbon fiber vinyl. Nice to the touch, the issue comes at the edges where its round, and the added thickness makes it incompatible with the dock which was my biggest woe.
UPDATE: Removed the bottom part, I use the dock to much and cant handle the incompatibility, i think it look just fine without the bottom part.

I put a carbon fiber vinyl on my nexus one then I a got a TPU case with a see through back and black edges for more protection since the carbon fiber only cover battery door and bottom. not the best looking but I think it looks ok.

Don't need Otterbox, my current case is good enough :)

Just feel like sharing. I think it looks nice.

Ewwwww gross that's just like the tmobile squeak case.....that body glove is plenty protection and look wise its awesome.....just my 2 cents

It's hard to tell, but from the picture, it looks like the case actually covers the volume buttons completely...does it?

Yes the case covers up the buttons completely, it fits perfectly.

That is a very nice case...I'm using a BodyGlove on mine....I've had Otterbox on my iPhone3G, Nexus One and iPod4G and love their cases and wish they made one for the G2X (along with the LG Quantum).

it's a Momax case

There isn't a soft surface between the phone is there?.. I went with the Speck CandyShell (34.95USD on-site, but only 17.99 on eBay) and it has a great fit and soft internal coating with a hard outer shell.
Cases with a hard interior can trap dirt and scratch the back of the phone.. at least in my experience.

No there isn't a soft surface between the phone and the back, but it has a great fit and does not trip dirt like you mentioned. Certainly haven't scratch the back yet(I've been using it since June).

Yes if you like big rubberized case with plastic color cover, can't even see what the phone is like. Then yes your "good-looking" Trident case is way better. Go figure.

Agreed! the Speck case is rocking though, I have that one as well. The rubbed inside also provide much more shock resistance.
But once again this thread has gotten way off topic, he took good pictures and gave his judgement on the case, that is what this section is for is it not? It is not for flaming others based on their personal preference!

To date the Trident is the ugliest case I've seen. I'd rather break my phone then use a Trident.

Spigen Neo Hybrid case for the S4 [Coming soon]

Maybe the seller marked it as "shipped" so they could get automatic 5-star DSRs... *shrug*

They need to mark them as shipped or eBay will cancel the order.

The Slim armor is sexy, but I'm worried it will add to much bulk and also will scratch the phone or the buttons will not be so responsive.

I'm torn between Slim or neo and added the Spigen SGP Glas TR protector
Or getting the S view cover.
Personally something that's a combination of all three would work best for me. I prefer a thicker, safer phone

That one says Metallic Slate. I hope it's the same color as the phone. That one would be perfect.

Are the silver buttons on the case or are they the phone's?

I would assume that they are part of the case.

It mentioned the Neo Hybrid being 2 parts and Interchangeable, anybody find the outer color parts sold separate?

Best post I´ve read in almost 3 years or so! Lol for days thank you!!! :laugh:
Back in topic, after buying like 16 cases the best for me has been the Otterbox Commuter: right ammount of protection with minimal bulk. Toughest cases are so bulky and cheaper ones do not provide such effectiveness when talking about regular drops.
Anyway your choose will be the best, cheers!

I like my setup, minisuit bumper with orange battery door off eBay...

I also had a bad experience with an incipio dual pro. It was not snug and the phone kept falling out of the case. I love my Targus Safe port but it's not easy to take the phone out if you do a lot of battery swaps. I'm looking at a Pure gear Dual tek or a Spigen neo hybrid for something more user friendly. I do heaps of battery swaps
