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 )
All i see are pouch and folio type of cases, hoping more choices come out soon.
What i miss is the black $10 TPU case w/ kickstand i got on eBay for my original Tab - i wish there was an identical one for the 7 Plus. It won't fit the 7 Plus as the 7 Plus is slightly longer. Thinner is nice w/ the 7 Plus, but I feel like i can more easily lose grip of it compared to the original Tab.
I have a few kickstand accessories i got for my old Tab, but they're not as convenient as a little fold out stand that comes out of the case it's always in.
For now, i took some carbon fiber vinyl covering i had left over from covering my laptop and covered the back of the Tab, then i shaved the back off an extra case i had for my Droid RAZR and stuck it to the back of the 7 Plus w/ double-sided automotive tape. So now i have a kickstand that folds out of the back of it.
The RooCase people inform me that they will have a pretty nice case out for our GTab 7+ around the end of December exactly modeled after the A100 case. Had one for the A100 and it was quite nice. Functional and well-built. The Executive Portfolio model here. Leather is good and the screen frame is securely velcroed. Got it for about $35. I plan on snagging one.

Poetic case is good for the price http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006DKEUL6
Update: woops sorry i didnt realize that you werent looking for folio cases. Anyway, i ordered a skinomi black carbon fiber protection made for this tab. Unfortunately, i havent received the item yet after 2 weeks of waiting. Im having a very bad experience wit them right now. 3 days after i ordered i made a followup, they told me that they had just processed and shipped my order. I was thinking if i hadnt emailed them, they wouldve neglected my order. Anyway, benefit of the doubt, fine. I waited 10 days nothing was happening on the tracking number. I emailed again earlier to followup and voila! The shiiping just started! What the hell is wrong with those people!

Mine just arrived. I put it on and it's setting. If I have time tonight, I'll post more thoughts and pics.
Got my poetic case last night. i'll put pics up today after i get off of work, but i like it. It has cutouts for nearly everything. The only piece that does not have a cutout is the IR transmitter which is easy enough to fix. It has a nice magnetic closure, and the flap to hold the tablet in has velcro which my similar case for the transformer did not have. All cutouts line up reasonably well, the front microphone and camera are not perfectly centered, but that can be attributed to how far i shoved the tab into the case.
Overall i rate it 8/10, its going to be the case I use for the foreseeable forture, the price is great, and the shipping was fast.
(will add pics later today)

Yeah my issue with Skinomi was resolved by their manager. Anyway, the carbon fiber skin looks great and the screen protector is smooth. There's a little bit of protruding skin on all 4 corners because they only designed two pieces for the sides that go from top center to bottom center (left and right pieces). It's not a big deal actually but the pointed corners poke my skin sometimes.
It's a folio case, but I'm interested in seeing more about this incipio T-mo offers: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones...-phone=Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-7.0-Plus-4G-Prepaid
I'm glad I found this thread. I've been looking for a case too. I heard back from otterbox CS and they said they have no plans on making a case for the 7+. I'm waiting to hear back from case mate.

!!!CHECK TWO POSTS BACK FOR tHE LINK, NEW POSTER AND CAN'T POST LINKS YET!!!
Also VERY interested in T-Mobile's Incipio folio case. I have looked at the limited number of cases currently available and they all look pretty bulky. Especially since one of the main features of the Galaxy 7 Plus is how incredibly thin it is. The Incipio case looks pretty thin and form-factor (from what I can tell.
Anyone have experience or seen this case in person??? I have called a number of T-Mobile store here in NYC and none carry the case (most don't even have the Galaxy 7 Plus at all).
Thanks!
Mine got anymode vip case.. It slim

I have been searching for cases for days, and i got my + relatively early. Just so you guys know, many of the folio cases for the original Gtab will fit the +. However cutouts will be incorrect for headphone jack, IR, and camera a bit offcenter. I hate folio cases and just want a plastic/gel snap on for the back w kickstand.
I purchased the T-Mobile Incipio case and it fits great. It was a little pricey at $50.00 but there werent many options. They were having a "buy two accessories get the third one free" promotion so I also bought the screen protector and an extra charging cable.

Any chance you could post a few pictures of your tab in the case? None of the T-Mobile stores in my area have it, so I need to get it online. I'd really like at least a semi-decent look at what I'm getting before I pull the trigger and purchase one.
I think its a good fit. The sim card slot and sd card slot are covered but I rarely need access to them.

Do you have a link for that one? Can't find it on incipio's site.
In other news, roocase now has some 7.0 Plus cases: http://www.roocase.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-7e0-Plus/cat-l/c103881.html
Clarivue (www.clarivue.com) have opened pre-orders for their line of Nexus 4 screen protectors (ETA 26 November). I have no connection with the company other than as a customer, but I thought I'd pass along the information.
They offer four varieties: clear, anti-glare, privacy, and mirror. The first two are $12.99 for a pair; the other two are sold as singles, $19.99 for the privacy and $15.99 for the mirror. These are pre-order prices and presumably will go up at some point. There's also a 10% off coupon, code "clarivue2012", good through 10 December. Shipping is free.
These are dry-application and cover the full flat surface of the screen (but not the curved shoulders, which I've seen a number of people here requesting).
I've been using the anti-glare version on my LG G2x for 18 months and have been happy with the performance: only very minor image degradation (and I imagine that will be even better on the Nexus 4, considering how close the pixels are to the screen surface) but very good diffusion of reflected images. I'm a Swype user, so the keypad area tends after a few months to get polished and more reflective; however, Clarivue has a lifetime replacement policy, and I had no hassle at all getting a free replacement protector. I really like the paper-like feel to the surface, as well; I find that a bare glass screen tends to be a bit "grabby" if my fingers are slightly damp from perspiration, and that's not a problem with the protector.
I've ordered a pair of the anti-glare protectors; I'll try to remember to post an update here when they arrive and I've applied one.

Love Clarievue, been using them for years (maybe 10) top notch product. and yes I am not assisted with them just a very happy customer.
These better then spi spigen? I'm looking for the best dry screen protector and I don't know which ones to go with. Both are rather expensive so I want to make sure I just the right ones.
I can't compare them, having never used spigen. Sorry.
Thanks for the heads up. I've always liked their product.
Just FYI you can use promo code "clarivue2012" for 10% off.

I've used both on several devices and haven't been disappointed with either. I also really like the Tech Armor ones (good quality and much cheaper) but they haven't announced one for the Nexus 4 yet.
Quick note: I just got email from Clarivue saying that the screen protectors will ship tomorrow. However, they have now added a back protector as well, so those who had preordered, like me, could opt either for a front-only package shipped tomorrow or a free upgrade to a front+back package shipping on 30 November. I don't know what the retail cost of the front+back package will be; it's not on their web site yet. I'm holding off for the front+back package.
I've used both SGP and Clarivue in the past and I love both.
Hmmm... I wish they let you purchase just the back protector. Maybe I should send them a message and see what they say.
Thinking about buying the anti-glare one today. 25% off with their Black Friday sale!
Just preordered a pack of 2 front and back protectors for $14,99 (12€). Nice catch!
I'm very happy with the SGP films for my Nexus S and Nexus 7, so if Clarivue is as good as those it should be a good deal.
I ordered the 2front + 2back as well with the 25% coupon. Let's see how they compare.
I only ordered the Front. I'm probably going to be putting it in a clear case so the back part isn't as important to me.
I just got an email from Clarivue saying that my order is shipping, so I should have it within a week (hopefully coinciding reasonably well with my receiving my replacement N4, the original being RMA'ed for a defective camera LED).
So I asked them is there a proximity sensor cut out for these protectors and this is the answer I got.
Hello,
Thank you for writing to us.
The first batch (for pre-order) may be missing the cut out for proximity sensor, but starting with our next batch, which will arrive before end of next week, they should include the cut out at top left corner.
If you have more questions or comments regarding our products and services, feel free to contact us.
Best Regards,
Jay
Clarivue.com
So I would wait on these before I order them.
Gee, that's disappointing -- thanks for the info. Guess I'll be doing a bit of surgery on the ones that are currently in the mail, sigh...
Anyone received their screen protectors yet? I preordered, but nothing yet.
Thanks for sharing.
I have been looking for a anti-glare dry back protector for sometimes, emailed SGP about it but they didn't reply my email. I'm going to order it from Clarivue now.

I preordered, but when they emailed me on Nov. 22 giving me a choice between immediately shipping just the screen protectors or waiting a week for a free upgrade to front+back protectors, I opted to wait. I got a notice from them on Nov. 27 that my order had shipped, with expected delivery in 5-10 business days, so I imagine they will arrive sometime next week.
Just got mine in the mail today and there is no proximity sensor cutout. Awesome. I already emailed them and will update with their response.
I also got mine today and installed it on my sisters phone. Even though it has no cutout for the sensor it doesn't affect the phone when on a call or rotating the phone. Overall I like the quality of the protector.

How does it handle the curved edge and what does it feel like? Assuming they next batch has the cut out, I may be interested, but only if it doesn't feel rubbery (really hoping it has a glass like feel).
Need one for N4 and i think its nice one.
Just read some feedback on sellers ID and people are happy with it,
Quality looks good.
Youtube about Nillkin Matte Hard Cover for other models got positive reviews.
Already Order one from ebay. will post more detail when receive.
Ebay Link
Ordered the same one.
Always been fan of Incipio Feather cases (Nexus S and GNex) but they don't have anything yet for N4.
I've been eyeing these along with the Rearth ones. My only concern with these is that they don't seem to have a soft-touch/rubberised finish. I've used a number of Case-Mate Barely There cases and really appreciate the subtle extra grip.
Looking forward to seeing what people have to say about them when they arrive.
I had 3 of these for my GS III and have ordered 3 more for my N4; one for me, one for my wife, and one as a spare different color. They were EXCELLENT on the GSIII; it felt so secure and clipped onto the phone that it felt as if it was built with it from the beginning. I can only hope it fits the N4 the same.
I also had the Rearth cases on my GSIII and they were good too, but that obviously hasn't been the same on the N4.
Think these will be more grippy?

Mine were on the gsiii. On eBay there are white, black, red, and brown; they have the same texture as my gsiii cases had. The blue, yellow, and other black appear to be slightly different.
Ordered mine a week ago.
Won't be here until late dec.
Will be on holiday that time.
It's better if there's a UK seller though,
Ordered a white one yesterday and got a shipping confirmation yesterday as well. Now I'm waiting for it to arrive (E-Mail said aproximately 10-20 days).
Ya I ordered a black one on Nov 29th. To me it looks at least in the pictures like a allot more premium product then the Rearth Ringke case so I went with it. Anyway no case for me now so can't wait to get it.
Already recieved
Just wanted to chime in here - I ordered one of these cases on 11/28 and received on 12/4. Incredibly fast shipping from Hong Kong (from the ebay seller ecdigi.shop).
The case itself is very nice, and came in retail packaging. Good grip, and the texture on the back is better than I thought it would be. Also included a dry-application screen protector that shockingly had the correct sensor cutouts. My only complaint (and I knew this before I purchased) is that the case doesn't wrap the entire phone - the top and bottom edges are still exposed.

You're complaint is how they've always been, with the top and bottom exposed, but I'm glad that everything is good!! I ordered mine last week too s maybe they will get here sooner.

Also included a dry-application screen protector that shockingly had the correct sensor cutouts. My only complaint (and I knew this before I purchased) is that the case doesn't wrap the entire phone - the top and bottom edges are still exposed.

wow thats some great fast shipping, I wish I had ordered from them as I just realized it like 60 cents cheaper then from the buyer I bought it from and don't think I will get it for at least another 10 days.
Ordered one of these as well from ebay seller tablet.world.
Pics from anyone who has this already would definitely be appreciated.

Good to hear that the shipping is fast! I bought a red one on the 27th from the same seller, and while I haven't received mine yet (tracking is still at In Transit, "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment") I'm hopeful that I shouldn't have to wait too much longer.
How much of a lip does the case provide around the screen, or is it like the Feather cases in that it is more or less flush with the screen? The images from Nillkin made it kind of hard for me to gauge at a glance.

Sorry, no pics at the moment - it's the wife's phone so it's in the city today. I'll try to get some pics of the case tonight.
In regard to the lip around the screen - it is just about flush. I put it face-down on the counter and was able to see light out the other side, but just minimally (I'd say 1mm or less clearance).

If you can manage a video showing off the case, it'd be really great.
EDIT: Gave up and bought the red one. Was really torn between buying the ultraslim blue case, but then decided against it .. Well , should reach around the same time as the mobile I suppose

Can someone please chime in with how the back feels? is it a rough solid plastic texture or rubbberized?? Ive been trying to find out for a while now. thanks
did they stop selling them on amazon?
yes, they pulled them, probably from complaints
just look at the reviews
Spigen quality has gone down since I last remember them.
I ended up returning two cases for the LG g2 which scratch so easily, and looking at the reviews of the Note 4 cases I see nothing has changed
My tough armor case seems decent but I'm glad I didn't get any others.
I've noticed that I have some small scratches on my bezel after using my neo hybrid.

My sob story:
Had my Spigen Neo Hybrid on order since September 25th or so. Noticed around Oct 18 they were in stock on Amazon, shipping, and 4 bucks less (but mine still didn't ship). Complained and Amazon sent Spigen a msg for me asking for $4 refund. It ships next day but no refund. Not even a reply from Spigen.
I finally receive it around Oct 22 and get my phone on the 23rd. As soon as I realize I can't make calls because it covers my mic (Verizon) I take pictures and send a message to them. Almost a week later they send me a canned response saying they are redesigning the TPU.
Decide to return it on the 25th and Spigen denies return due to "outside return window". Huh? I ordered in September but they didn't ship for a month (until I had to bug them about it) and they deny my return. I filed a claim with Amazon and Amazon immediately gave me a refund in Amazon credit, no questions asked.
I will never, ever buy another Spigen product.

How long did your A-Z claim take? I filed one the other day, just waiting...
It said if I chose Amazon gift card I would have it in my account in 3 hours. It took about an hour. If you choose refund to your credit card they have to go back to the seller and it can be days.

In had the exact same issue. Took them a month to ship the case, I used the case for ten days, could not take the flimsy stand, and the poor hear rate monitor cutout on my tough armor. I requested a refund 10 days after receiving it. Spigen denied my claim for being outside the return window. I guess, don't ever pre order a spigen case as the warranty/return date starts from the actual order date, not the date the item is received (even though they ship super slow mail).
Amazon refunded my payment as a gift card (after filing a claim), although it hasn't shown up yet in my account.
amazon seem to have started stocking them in the UK store.
Good, hopefully they will get the design correct before they start dumping them on the public again.
Kick stand is horrible. But everything else about my tough armor is good so far.

I've had my Neo Hybrid on my Note 4 for a bit over a week and have taken it on and off countless times. No scratches at all on my phone, already came up big saving my phone from a face down pancake fall from about 3.5 feet on to my brick walkway. Only issues are the hole for the headphone jack may not fit higher end connectors and the HR Monitor does not work per their instructions . I'm guessing the latter is why the've pulled the product. Also, the posts I've read regarding scratching on the bezel were not from the Neo Hybrid., but from the thinner form fitting cases like the Thin Fit/Ultra.
I believe it was removed from amazon because spigen may have fixed the VZW n4 issue, if you go to spigen site, it no longer has a note of carrier compatibility under the case descriptions. I sent them an email but no response as of yet.
3 out of 5 cases I bought last month were complete ****, very disappointed.
Then they were tons of complains about scratched phones etc, I think its not the case's fault for that, the design of the note 4 is nice looking but easily scratched.
Has anyone ordered the tough armor case since they restocked on 11/10? I was about to pull the trigger on ordering one of these bad boys but the complaints I've read so far has me second guessing them.
Is the kickstand really that flimsy?
The microphone hole issue fixed for the Verizon variant?
bezel scratches easily still?

I have the original... The kick stand seems flimsy however it's never not done is job nor failed in any way. I use the kick stand constantly ! The fix for this case for the Verizon phones should be super simple seeing how it is only TPU on the bottom. After drilling a hole in the correct spot I didn't even feel the urge to return.
Verizon N4 : Thank me if I helped ya

Thanks for the reply. Currently I'm using an Otterbox Defender case and a bit torn on this and the spigen. The Otterbox definately offers superior protection, but it adds so much bulk. The spigen looks like it does the job, UT no protection for the front and I should not have to drill a hole for the mic cutout to align. May have to just stick with the Otterbox case for now especially since winter is approaching.

Just to let you know I have a co-worker that has the Neo Hybrid case and they have already sent him an up-to-date TPU replacement and his is just fine now. I'm sure any they are selling now with have the upgraded TPU cutouts and not have any problem.
Ok just ordered a tough armor case and will arrive on Saturday. Will report back my findings.
