I have ordered a few cases before I was told that the TMobile USA HD2 is a slightly different size than others and now I have received those cases and they don't fit, now I am dissapointed and back out on the search for a case that actually looks nice and fits as well...Any advice? One case I do like is this :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150398009772&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
But please dont let this limit your advice/recommendations... I am looking for any kind of case other than a leather pouch type case and I also do not wish to have those leather cases which have a flap that covers the screen..... any advice ?
I have been using a T-mobile Wing case I found for $5 at the tmo store on clearance. Good fit but it snaps on the front and it makes me nervous every time i push on them and they push against the glass. Still looking for a better case.
Someone told me the type that are held closed using a magnet may cause the famed "newton ring" so i'm not sure what to get.

Don't get that one. I ordered the exact one weeks before I got TMOUS hd2, and it doesn't fit.
I mean, it fits, but not perfectly. Plus, the material was too rubbery.
I don't even know if that's the word, but it's very shiny and doesn't feel that great in my hands.
It gives killer grip on any surface, though.
But once again, that cover does not fit your device perfectly.
I threw it away. such a waste...
I'm using the default gel skin it came with.
It's very nice, surprisingly. it's not the normal silicone cover that attracts every sort of dust in your pocket.
yeah i ordered two cases off ebay and one came in guess what they don't fit lol..awaiting more cases
I ordered and received that case already, but I wanted one that fits my phone...it does not fit completely but it will do , it is very nice in my opinion, shiny and slick , I do not like the stock one too much as it causes my fingers to feel dry and sticks in my pockets so it doesn't slide out easily enough...
any advice...anything like a 'barely there' case for our phone ?...
please post any ideas/ advice/ experiences/ anything..

I don't have an HD2, yet, but...
I've used a horizontal belt holster with a magnetic clasp for my TP2 since I got it in September. It's in the holster everyday, and I have yet to see a Newton Ring develop on my screen.
When I get an HD2, I'll be calling my local T-Mo store every week to inquire about future cases (like the one erebusting purchased) for the HD2 -- I'm afraid a 3ft drop would cause the thin phone to break in half! I also want a thin, hard case so I can still put the phone in a horizontal belt holster (I hate putting my phones in my pants pockets).
I'm in the market for a new case since the $3 one I bought on Ebay is starting to peel finish. I'm looking for the thinnest, slickest case out there.
What case are you using?
Do you like it?
How much was it?
Where did you buy it?
Pictures?
THX!
well i would like to know this as well.
However i can enlighten you on how horrible the body glove case from sprint is. it looked great and was loving the feel until after a week, pulled it out of my pocket to find the case was broke where the volume rocker is. needless to say it looked and felt good but all in all i do NOT recommend it to anyone.

Mine did exactly the same thing, lasted about two weeks.
Funny, I ordered one of the $3.00 ones off of Ebay to replace it.
Actually I got mine on Amazon... forgot. This is the case I bought and while it is pretty thin and fits well, the paint job is totally shotty and now looks horrible:

I bought the white and chrome case from Sprint when I got the phone. I have had my phone since the release day for the EVO and the case still looks brand new. I really like the leather feel, and the chrome accents add to the overall beauty of the phone. I would recommend the case to anyone!
A guy I work with bought this one on Ebay about 2 weeks ago and says he's still happy with it:

That Seido case looks bulky no? I'm looking for something that doesn't add to the already large footprint of this thing in my pocket.
How about the Otterbox cases.. anyone have experience with them on other devices (not out yet for the evo)

My buddy has a well-worn one on his iPhone that has been through hell and still looks good.

i have the body glove universal holder from radio shack which works for me. however, i am looking at getting the Seidio Innocase holster case combo... which is a steal on amazon as the case itself is $30 at sprint and the combo is $30 on amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innoca..._1_4?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1282702286&sr=8-4
i already tried the case and its nice and fits inside the body glove holder too, snuggley like pigs in a blanket at ihop.
Shouldn't this be in the Accessories forum?
(Black TPU case FTW.)
Yep... should be in accessories thread... my bad.
Are the otterbox cases thin though... I'm really looking for the thinnest case out there.
I always just wait for some YouTube reviews to pop up, shows me are how big the case is in real life. (Or as real as I care to get.)

Looking at the impact series case it doesn't look to be too bad. I really like the looks of the bottom two cases, so I signed up to be notified when they come out. I had the Sprint Body Glove case, had since release actually, but the volume rocker area just cracked last week. Lasted longer then most I suppose.
I've got the Seidio Innocase holder IceCreaMan linked to and it has been nice. It's got a nice texture, doesn't slide easily, isn't bulky, has a belt clip, and with the case on, it makes it so the camera doesn't stick out. It doesn't cover anything either so you still have your speakers, cameras, microphones, plugs, etc. Would definitely recommend it.
the Innocase II is a proven design in my opinion
its thin, and can take a drop (ive dropped mine from 8ft + onto concrete without any cracks in the case/damage to the phone)
I got a couple cheap cases from ebay; they're the clamshell design that has a front & back the snap together. They all felt too big and bulky though, so I got a Talon to replace 'em. Love it. Just snaps onto the back of the phone and protects the corners from drops and the camera from scratches when laying the phone on it's back. I have an InvisibleShield on the front to protect the touch screen from scratches.
The talon is almost like not having a case at all -- doesn't add much bulk to the phone.
And it's only 10 bucks.
Got my case today, I was a little worried because two days after I purchased it Ebay pulled all of the sellers listings and sent me a notice saying I could file a claim to get my money back. Since the seller had good feedback, and he had notified me that it had been shipped (from China), I decided to wait and see if it would show up, which it did.
I really like it, much better fit and quality than the Sprint body glove I had on my phone before. Time will tell if it lasts, but I have to say for $3.00, I am pretty impressed. It has a soft feel that gives a more secure feeling grip than the body glove, plus it is slightly thinner, but still protects the camera lens. Plus it is red, love the color.
Wish I could give a link to the one I got, the seller has put some of his cases back up, but no Evo cases yet.
Here is a link to a red rubberized hard case that looks very similar to the one I got.
So today I was getting out of my car on the way to class and i dropped my Droid X in the street!! Needless to say theres more than a few scratches and dings on it . I was very mad at myslef. I wish there was a way to fix these scratches and dents.
Anyways, my question is what is the best case for the droid X that will cover these scratches but add minimal to no extra bulk?
Thanks
Really, it's all going to be on you. I personally, like the Otterbox cases, however, you should probably look at the Verizon store, see if there's anything there you like, and then get on Amazon and see if you can find the same case (probably @ half price ).
I went with the Incipio case. I put a review in the accessories section, which reminds me i should get the pics up. But like stated above its all personal preference when it comes to cases.

get an epik case from ebay. only cases i use on my devices. I have one now for my thunderbolt.
I use the a no-name thin profile rubberized case available on Amazon here. It's only 3 bucks (with free shipping). It has a nice grippy feeling to it without being too grippy where it sticks in your pocket. It also adds very little bulk to the phone.
Dude, you had no case or screen protector? Lesson learned? Ebay has a ton of cases that would have protected your phone. I use the Verizon TPU semi rigig silicone case with Zagg invisible sheild on the screen. It's really protected.
Otterbox is VERY good, it completely encompasses the phone & also comes with a screen protector.

If you want the maximum protection, look at the Trident Kraken case for your DX. Check the price at Amazon, as they're usually lower. If you want intermediate range protection, check out Otterbox or Body Glove cases. They also are sold by Amazon.
-Mike
Thanks for all of the advice guys! I just wish i had a time machine so i could avoid this whole fiasco!
I had a carbon fiber case on my dx when I dropped on a glacier but it hit some rocks on the screen side so it took some dings (last summer). Moral of this story is the best way to protect your phone isn't always a case or screen protector, sometimes its being extra careful.

So I was surfing on ebay for a rugged case for my n4
I ran by this...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Triple-Armo...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item5d43674502
It seems like a ballistic sg knock off but at a lower price
comes with screen protectors too if that matters for anyone...
Does ANYONE have any experience with this case? If so, please let us know!
Otherwise I'm going to order a Ballistic SG this week.....

I would order that ebay one instead of the SG.
I had the SG and it wasn't worth the money. The problem with it is that the silicone isn't a perfect fit so the nexus 4 slides up and down a bit. The plastic piece that goes over the inner silicone cover occasionally comes undone a bit (it's hard to describe exactly) which leads to more sliding of the nexus. The plastic piece doesn't stay on as well as I'd hoped because the silicon is too soft to let it really clamp on well.
That ebay one is much cheaper and appears to be basically the same.
The case I have now and would really recommend is the mybatt. In addition to a back plastic clamp on piece, it also has a front screen side snap on piece so its inner silicon layer is sandwiched securely. I haven't had any sliding issues like I did with the Ballistic. Here's a review someone did on the mybatt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120148
It does come in a couple different colors. I have the all black one because I thought the white might get stained with dirt.

Thanks for your opinion!
I went ahead and bought it on Amazon through a third party for almost $6! (CHEAP price IMO) Ebay had it for 9 bucks :victory:
I read some reviews of it. It seems like people had a mix problem with the sensor cut out. Do you have any problems of your own or any cons you want to bring up?

I personally didn't have that problem. It seems to have mainly been on the first few versions of it that came out. People didn't mention that issue as much after it had been out for awhile. I just got mine about a month and it's been fine.

I do wish Gumdrop made a N4 case though.
Received my Boost Mobile Sharp Aquos Crystal on October 16, 2014 and after a few hours of tinkering,
started shopping for the usual case / holster with belt clip and clear screen protectors. Here are what
I ordered on eBay for my new smartphone . I will promptly post reviews of each upon receipt:
Case / Holster $5.99 <Received 10/20/2014. stitching quality is decent but case is so tight, can hardly get phone in/out & zero padding inside case. Seller admitted size error, refunded.
Next, I ordered this case for $5.99 < This seller DID NOT send me the case as pictures in their eBay listing. They sent me a case that is too small for this phone AND has cutouts that would allow the corners of the phone to be damaged if dropped. Package label says case is for a Samsung phone, not this Sharp phone. I contacted seller, no response in past 24 hours. Ordered from a 2nd ebay seller with same results. My search for a GOOD case/holster continued.
NOVEMBER 6, 2014 UPDATE: Finally found a case/holster that IS THE CORRECT SIZE AND protects the ENTIRE Sharp Aquos Crystal: $7.95 case / holster.
Screen Protectors (pack of 6) for $1.99 < Received in 4 days & perfect fit for this phone. Note: Pull back Tab #2 slightly BEFORE applying to phone or you might not be able to remove it after you iron out the bubbles.
Both prices including free delivery in USA.

Another option if you like the nakedness of the Crystal is TechSkin from Skinomi. I just got mine yesterday and its very eye-catching. Its an adhesive phone skin and screen protector(I got the black carbon fiber). When shopping for it, I was a little apprehensive that it would look cheesy, but its way better than I hoped for. The way its cut comes right up to the chrome and makes it stand out. Its textured too, so its not just some cheap sticker. The good thing about it is you can still use a case. I didn't use the screen protector though; I don't know, my phone just want to show all its glassy glory. I got mine on Amazon for around $12. They also have woods and brushed metals.

Sure!
That actually looks terrific! I saw that and the other stick-on cases on Amazon you mentioned, but gave no second-thought since the manufacturer pictures looked chintzy and not worth it.
You know, that's what I thought too. But once I got it on, my son walked by on his way to the kitchen and was like "Wow." That's a lot coming from a 19 year old. The quality is way higher than I expected, a real high-end look and feel.
Late as this post is, anyone try the snap-on cases? I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OOGDRVK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Clear-Ice brand carbon-fiber snap-on case, sort of like a bumper case on the iPhone 5S. I do like the idea of the sticker thing, but it doesn't appeal to me, personally. I want the device more sealed in.
I'm getting my phone and case on the 10th, so I'll see then. I'm just curious if there's been more exploration than these stickers, or adding a tertiary pocket for your phone.

Actually, I got my phone and the case and am impressed by it. It snaps on with some click, it holds well, and it fits the nature of a bumper case quite well. My real complain stems from it not being an actual carbon fiber cover. It's just this gloss shell with a bunch of black squares gridlocked together to imitate carbon fiber in appearance and nothing more. It's actually more slippery than the naked phone. It protects it, I'll admit. The snaps over the edges actually protrude that little bit out from the screen, giving it the most subtle protection from surfaces.
Disappointingly, I ruined the screen protector in the process. I'll probably either buy a set or look up how to clean one and apply them properly.

I will sell the extra at a cheaper price than what you normally could, if anyone's interested message me for info.
