Otterbox or body glove?

Hey guys, recently got my g2 and looking for a good case for it. Ive narrowed it down to these two. Which case do you guys prefer?

Otterbox. They have great customer service too

I'm using body glove on both my desire z and on sensation.
It's amazing on desire but sucks on sensation...
Never used an otterbox, but never heard any complain either.
I got the body glove because it was way cheaper...

I've had both, and the Otterbox gets my vote. The Body Glove looked nice, but it did not last long at all. I guess you get what you pay for. I still have my Otterbox and it's going strong after 5 months of use. The only downsides are that Otterbox tends to add a lot of bulk to an already not-so-slim phone. The walls of this thing are THICK, so at least the bulk has a purpose in protecting the heck outta your G2. Another downside is the back part of the Otterbox is slick, so if you're not careful, your phone may slip out of your hand like a brick until you get used to it. Plus I like the raised power button and volume rocker, along with protectors over the 3.5mm jack and charging/USB port. Otterbox all the way.

If between the two, otter box.
If between all, g1 slip sock case

otterbox because my body glove tore apart.

I was disappointed when my Otterbox broke after only about 3 months, but all I did was send them an E-mail saying what happened and they sent me a new one with no cost to me.

can you post links for the cases?

I ended up getting the otterbox and i'm lovin' it.

Thank you!

Fishbone case on amazon ftw!

It's all personal preference, but I had the otterbox and didn't like it. The outside is all plastic, makes it slide more and less comfortable to hold. After trying a couple I finally decided I liked the tmobile gel case the best. It's like the otterbox turned inside out, there's a hard rubber on the outside with a rigid plastic frame inside. It actually makes the volume and power buttons easier to use, and covers better than the body glove case you're thinking of. Plus it's cheaper than the otterbox.

I saw the gel cases in the store the other day and was thinking about buying one, but I didn't since I already have an otterbox case

I have an otterbox and i like it, but i must be careful while removing the case because it can make my phone scratched

OTTERBOX! I love mine.

I got this one from Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045EI356/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
It's like a rubberized plastic so it has a rugged feel to it and it grips really well. Only complaint is that you don't have as much space around the trackpad so you can't use it as easily. Not bad for 3 bucks though.

Bought an otterbox awhile ago. The quality is quite nice, but you'll have to be careful if you're removing it from your phone, already got quite big cracks v.v

I've got the Otterbox and saved my DZ twice now when I dropped it

otterbox really looks nice

Favorite Case

Just curious what everyone's Favorite case for their HTC Sensation 4g is? I was looking at otter box but my son's otter box for his iPad has torn apart and that mif's me. Which do you guys like and why?

the case is attractive.

I'm using a Qubits Twill TPU case. It was only a few UK Pounds on Amazon, so it'll probably be less than 5 US Dollars.
I can't post a link yet as this is my first post

case
otterbox!

I prefer Ballistic or Otterbox cases for drop protection

Has anybody tried the Mercury Slim Fit TPU Case for HTC ONE X (Fits AT&T)

I am looking to buy a case for my new white HTC One X and I don't want a translucent case.
It will be this or the Diztronic Black case.
What do you think?
I saw this case at amazon
Mercury Slim Fit TPU Case for HTC ONE X (Fits AT&T)
Thanks,

Take it from the king of cases- get the diztronic. It's the best TPU case I've ever bought and quite literally the only one I've ever actually liked. I think my case count is up to 22 now, and that's not including the few I've given away on this forum, and the Diztronic is my second favorite case. Considering the fact that I absolutely despise TPU cases, that says an awful lot.

Otterbox Commuter case vs UAG case?

I currently have an otterbox Commuter case and I think it's on the bulky side. Would getting something like the UAG case be better and offer the same protection from drops? I'd assume that the thicker the case is the more protected?
The UAG case -

after reading about fake UAG cases I'm reluctant to buy one from Amazon unless it is ship and sold by Amazon. last year I unknowingly bought a fake Speck Candyshell case for my wife's S3 that was only fulfilled by Amazon. Their current prices seem too good to be true for a case that was released 2 months ago.

I always buy directly from Amazon for this reason. It's worth the few extra dollars. What is your opinion on the cases I mentioned?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium

I don't like the UAG, which I think is overrated. I had one on a previous phone and I didn't like it all. The plastic feels cheap. The top and bottom edges of the case are not hard plastic, only the sides are. Adds bulk.
I always like Speck Candyshells, which I had on previous devices. I immediately got a Candyshell for my S4.
Pros:
-hard plastic on all 4 edges
-slim
Cons:
-scratches show easily on dark color models
-slippery, but there's a grip model
Protection is good. I had it on my Galaxy Note 2 (which is 41% heavier than the S4) and dropped it a few times without any resulting damage.
The Otterbox is too bulky. I would only get that if I worked in construction or similar.

Read this thread. I have both but overall I feel the uag is the better case. I know rock the element eclipse case.

For as boring as Otterbox cases are they are in my opinion still the most well built cases out there. I have a commuter case right now and one of the samsung cases as well, I havent seen another case that will protect as well as the commuter that is as well built. On a side note the commuter case with the Spigen Glas.t nano is amazing.

I had the commuter with my GS2 and I have the UAG case on my GS4, but I have seen the commuter for the GS4 in person.
From what I read, the biggest risk to the phone is the screen breaking, and apparently, the greatest chance of this happening is when the phone is dropped and it lands on a corner. The UAG case has extra protection on the corners more so than for the commuter.
Personally I like the UAG case because it is lighter and not as bulky and offers just as good if not better corner impact protection. The lip around the screen is not at high as the commuter, but it is enough that if you put the phone screen side down, it is elevated off a flat surface.

Otter box is bad lol. Ruins the phone. Worsens signal to. Took mine back and got the neo hybrid

Thanks you guys. Very helpful. I ordered the UAG case.

Rofl what, does not affect the signal at all. The commuter is rubber in the corners and hard plastic everywhere else. No different than the UAG. The UAG is one piece vs commuter two piece, so count that as a pro or con with your preference. I believe the screen is better protected on the front ie a larger lip on the front face. Just dont go saying silly things like it affects the signal.

Spigen Neo Hybrid, or Otterbox Commuter?

Which case would you put your trust into more?
I currently have the Spigen which I could take back for $15, and I have an Otterbox on the way that I spent $5 through coupons on which I can sell for $25.
But I don't care about money, I only care about which one you think will be best for my phone.

This is the second phone I've bought an Otterbox Commuter for. I love the Commuter's styling and protection and wouldn't buy anything else.

Commuter.i had to the hybrid but the commuter is way better

I have the neo hybrid cc and I love it. I love the fact that it's clear so you can show off the beauty of the phone. It's is very slim and has quite a bit of rubber material around the entire edge which seems to provide total coverage. I haven't dropped it yet, but I feel confident that I'll be good to go if I did. I also advise getting a tempered glass screen protector with this case. It will fit just inside the edges, leaving only a tiny gap around the edge. Hope this helps.

I have the spigen neo hybrid. Dropped the phone twice already? and
Still as it was when it came out of the box..?

The Otterbox Commuter has my vote.

I have the Neo Hybrid CC case and I love it. It adds very little bulk and yet the phone feels secure. I haven't dropped it yet *knock on wood* but it feels like it (the phone) would be OK if I did.
Personal opinion on the look of the Commuter case (and Otterbox cases in general) … This is a stunning phone. Probably the one of if not the nicest Android devices ever. Why would you put it in such a bulky, unattractive case? I mean, unless you work in construction, or have a history of dropping phones like crazy.

Otterbox Commuter
The otterbox commuter is just a tougher case.
I've trusted my phones to otterbox for 3 years now. Never had a broken phone through multiple drops including high speed fumbles that end up skittering across a concrete floor. Even stepped on my phone once with no damage.

Speck CandyShell
Sorry for not answering with Otterbox or Spigen but please hear me out.
I purchased an S4 on launch day 2 years ago and immediately had it in a Spigen Neo Hybrid. I used the Neo Hybrid for several months then switched to an Otterbox commuter which I used until getting the S6.
Between the S4 Neo Hybrid and Otterbox Commuter I felt like the Neo Hybrid looked better but the Otterbox Commuter was more durable.
I purchased a Spigen Neo Hybrid CC for my S6 when it was on Slickdeals discount code for $6.00
I used it for a few days and tried to like it but it just didn't compare to the Speck CandyShell case that I got for my wife's IPhone 6. The Speck CandyShell is a one part case.
I picked up a Speck CandyShell white and black and it will likely be the case I use for the next 2 years. When you put it on the phone it seriously makes the case feel like part of the phone.
The quality is great and it feels like it will protect the phone better than the Neo Hybrid CC. My brother has the base version of the Spigen Neo Hybrid on his S6 and the first thing he said when he felt my case was that he should have gotten it instead.
One downside to the case is that the power button and volume buttons are in the rubberized portion of the case exterior and do not provide the crisp feel of the metalized buttons on the Neo Hybrid case.
Another downside is that the back plastic shows small scratches easily. They do offer a grip version which has rubberized grip on the back which would keep the plastic from contacting the surface when setting the phone down.
Before selecting a case please go to Best Buy and test out the Speck CandyShell. You should be able to pull the case out of the box and put it on your phone to test.

So far I really like my Neo Hybrid. I had an Otterbox Commuter on my M8 and it was ok

Try the uag just got it. I have the commuter not even close. Protective and thin
