Well, had my TouchHD about 2 weeks so far and I'm already on my second case.
First one was from HK and was a nice rubberised black plastic thing.
Fitted nicely and seemed to be decent enough quality.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160346407304
However earlier in the week I managed to snap off one of the 4 corner "tags" that clip it shut, dunno how, spose I caught it on something and ballsed it up..
So I ended up buying this set instead.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370239535693&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Silicone rubbery case and a crystal case.
When they say crystal, they really mean plastic but I'm sure you guys knew that already right?
Anyways, whatever its made out of it fits together a lot nicer than the "cheap" case from HK, ok so its not as nice looking but it a much tighter fit for the TouchHD.
I'm actually using the silicon case at the minute as I prefer the rubber feel (actually that doesn't sound right), and it doesnt slide about in the car..
Both sets come with screen protectors and little cloth things but I havent used either as I'm still on the one that came with the phone, although I might get one of those privacy ones..
Did you check this:

No I didnt, looks good tho, much prefer those sort over the bendy metal neck type.

Anyone have experience with these? No one on ebay is answering my questions about thickness, etc.
The design of the protective plastic is aesthetically pleasing to me.
I'm hesitant to buy a skin because the MTS is pretty damn big inside my pockets to begin with.
They offer different colors as well. (Plastic/Silicone)
Black/Black White/Black Black/White Red/Black Pink/White
hmm, I have this case and have had really good experiences with it (as opposed to the generic hard rubber plastic cases on ebay). I noticed that the tabs are much thicker and stronger on this case which makes the sliding mechanism a bit more stuff than the other case, but other than that, both pieces have stayed on VERY well for it and never came off. I've dropped it a few times as well and the tabs never failed.
I would probably bet that this is the best case right now until the otterbox case comes out. From what I read on these forums, the bodyglove cases have weak tabs that break easily when the phone is dropped.

How thick does it get in your pocket compared to the other hard plastic cases? About the same?
Try the body glove case without the kickstand, front plate and back plate is secured really good. Its only like 10 bucks on ebay.

It's not too thick at all. I would say about the same as the generic hard rubber plastic cases on ebay.
It is well good, but fast peeling.

That's the case I got for my T-mobile Radar 4G and I like it. It covers the buttons but I prefer it that way since it makes easier to press them. One thing I am concerned about the case is whether or not it will pick up lint from the pocket.
I would like to know other case options.
Nice case. I almost pick that one up but in a different color. I want to wait for a hard case though.
this is my case with phone,i really like it .looks cool white phone with black case
Where did you get the black case from?

I Bought today from a local T mobile store a D3O Gel Skin. It comes in black.
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...c39-21ff110f3aa1&inCart=True&catCode=21&qty=1
One thing that I like is that it makes the phone easier to grab, but I am afraid that is the only thing that I like. The case covers almost all the "whiteness" of the phone, makes it bulkier and overall I do not like it. Another negative is that the on / off button at the top of the phone is is very hard to press with the phone inside the case.
I will be returning it tomorrow. This phone actually looks too nice to be covered.

Yup the radar is too pretty to be covered up in some bully case. I'm getting an invisible shield to keep it clean and scratch free. Hopefully I don't drop it O.O

First one is silicon case that picks up lint and dirt like crazy which is the reason why I got the second one. The second one I like the lease because it covers all the buttons but there are no grooves or moldings for the buttons outside the case so you can't tell where the buttons are by just touching the case + buttons are hard to press. I got the last two at the same time and I am liking them the best. Buttons are easy to press and doesn't cover up the background microphones on the back..
I wish someone would make a decent case (e.g., otterbox) for this phone!
I ordered he clear case, and it looks very good on he phone, thanks for the recommendation.

Hey Ventanatips Re: Rock Case for Radar
It says thats a gel case, though it looks like hardplastic. Which is it? I hope its the hard plastic as the gel gets hung up in your pocket when taking it in and out.

I just bought the Incipio Silicrylic, which is basically a silicone insert and a polycarobonate back, and it feels so so sturdy now. Definitely worth having the peace of mind even though it makes it a tad bit bulkier.
Incipio also offers the feather style hard case. It is thin and fits the curves of the phone well. I had one for my old iPhone and it was amazing! It's $25 but it's well worth the money. The only negative is that it only really protects the backside, and partially the sides.

I got one of those TPU S-Line cases for mine off of Ebay.
I find they fit and feel a bit better than the regular TPU cases and they're only a couple of bucks if you don't mind the longer ship times when ordering from sellers in China.

I recommend the clear case. I bought it and it took a while to come from China, but well worth it.
The only problem that I have found is that the light from the flash shines through the case and gives pictures a bright glow.
I really recommend the rubberize snap on hard case, brought a white one from this seller on ebay, it cover that plastic part in the front of the phone ans the whole side without blocking any of the buttons. Cant post link: but the seller name is moderntechs.
I have been really happy with a white/clear case purchased on Amazon. I have both a black and white case, and think the white looks a ton better.
http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Silicon..._1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1335283218&sr=1-5
I really like the consistency - I think its about perfect. Not too ridgid, but not too flexible. IMO, the Radar is a little bit slippery, and I love the feel of this case.
The case covers the camera button, volume rocker, and power button, but fits them perfect. It does not cover the camera or the flash, and there are small holes cut out for the mic and back speaker. Any questions re the case, let me know.

I have that but don't use it. It isn't tight enough for my liking. It sticks to all kinds of dirt.. AND it makes the Radar more slippery when I take it out of the case!!!!!!!!!!
I just ordered another one, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006KF5WDY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 , hopefully it's good. It looks good.
wanted to share these pictures I took of the two cases I got off of eBay *TPU BLUE CASE* and *Red Rubberize Backcase* for the HTC Radar.
I really prefer the Hard Rubberize cases they feel more sturdy and stylish

Anyone find any good tpu cases?
I found a couple on Amazon but most with bad reviews. Most complaints were that the cases do not fit.
I found this one.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I86GGII/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_22zhtb0CC8DKH
It has no reviews yet and I bought it ...I don't have it yet... But let's hope it's good.
I have this one. It fits. It's snug, but it fits. The buttons are pretty hard to press though. It will do until some other options come out I guess!
If I could have any case for this device, I would want a Gumdrop Bounce Skin.
My wife has one for her Ipad air with a glass screen protector and there is nothing like it. Survives drops and a 5 year old, feels great to touch, sticks to your hand so you can use if one handed without a strap, sticks enough to a table or whatever so you can just lean it up against anything (wall, pillow, monitor, shelf, pencil holder, ...) and it stays at the same angle you set it down at, easy.
I just love this thing. If gumdrop doesn't make it, I'm going to have to bribe a silicone guy and get him to copy one for me. I think I could almost duplicate it with RTV silicone rubber if I bought two of them cut them up to fit and then did a two part mold, but it would take a bit of thinking and I don't know how well RTV silicone would last (but it would have the right shore A hardness to feel great and "stick" in all the right ways).
The best thing about the case is that while it grabs lint and stuff like most silicone cases, it does not feel bad and does not inhibit its stickiness. This might not make sense to you if you aren't acutely aware of everything you touch and how it feels (and I wish I didn't), but if you are sensitive to it, this is amazing. Now I haven't covered it in baby powder or anything, but it is amazing not having to worry about tossing it on a pile of laundry or the bed or the carpet and it not getting so covered in tiny dust that you feel like you have to wask it off. Even my otterbox for my GS4 makes me feel like that sometimes, but not my wife's gumdrop bounce, man I'm envious of that skin.
If you want here is the link to it on amz. for the ipad. they even have it in like 7 colors, I just wish they made it for the Note pro.., maybe they will.
http://www.amazon.com/Gumdrop-Cases-Bounce-Skin-BOUNCE-IPAD5-LTBLU-V3/
I got my Poetic Graph Grip yesterday. I'm pretty torn about it. The fit is great, it is much better protection than the Fosmon case linked above that I have, it is comfortable to hold BUT... it is heavy!! It adds a significant amount of weight to an already large tablet. And it also seems to be a bit of a dog fur/dust magnet. Which is a problem in a house with three dogs! So I'm not sure whether I will continue to use it or not.
OK I got the tpu case.... And it's pretty good. The buttons are a little hard to press especially the power button.... Other than that it's not bad.

I could not find any reviews of this bumper. I was interested in getting it but I wanted to see if anyone had thoughts about it first.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...on-Aluminum-Frame-For-Galaxy/32625294136.html
Not for the S7, but I owned one for my Note5 up until last week, and man was it pretty. I got the Gold bumper to go with my White Note5. I also got a leather skin from DBrand and that phone was so pretty. It was nice quality, and I thought it was worth the cost. I purchased it from a stateside seller from Ebay who imported them from China for half the cost of casefanatic.com. The one thing I will caution is that only the very inside of the Luphie case is protected by a small line of foam, not the inside of the sides (if that makes sense). This means that the actual metal bumper of the phone itself will get scratched, metal on metal, leaving small lines all around the phone bumper. Also, my signal was affected just a little. I suppose that's due to the aluminum covering the antennas.
I don't know that I would buy it again, honestly. It did look very nice for sure. But, I think it takes away from the actual day-to-day function of the phone. I hope this helps!
actually, the brand of that bumper is Ginmic, not Luphie. These are 2 factories, design is the same but different logo.
here is the Luphie one. http://www.ipromarket.com/luphie-ra...er-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-g9350.html
Quite expensive but damn, so pretty!
I own a silver aluminium Luphie bumper with the black leather backing for my s7. So far I'm pretty happy with it and it's not given me any hassles as of yet. One thing I was surprised by was the fact that the leather backing was not attached to the aluminium frame and was rather a sticky piece of leather that attaches to the rear glass of the phone. Not what I was initially after but it's been alright so far and it's very adhesive so that's good.
Very difficult to line up the leather backing when you first stick it on so take your time and start from the camera side heading down the phone. The backing makes the phone very grippy on surfaces so it's much safer to leave it on tables and stuff but the aluminium sides are a bit slippery and of course the phone feels slightly heavier. It does look aesthetically pleasing though and I can't fault the built in buttons on the Luphie bumper because they are excellent and haven't hampered the phone in any way.
I ordered them off eBay from a Chinese distributor and with post and packaging they came to $12 each.
Any other questions just ask and I will be happy to help..

The signal reception seemed to stay normal. However the GPS was affected and would drop out every now and then when using google maps, waze etc.

When GPS becomes glitchy, what quick fix do you usually do? Has it all been patience or have you discovered any workarounds aside removing the bumper? I could imagine having to switch cases when travelling I would be using a clear bumper case, all else I'd be using Luphie. Just ordered mjne for OnePlus 5t though.
When I realised that it was the case doing it, I was a bit bummed. Eventually I stopped using the case because it was not really simple to remove it each time. The screws make this a slightly more difficult task to do when you need it done on a regular basus. It's a real pity because it's an amazing looking case and I loved the protection it gave. I'm now using an abs plastic/slicon one instead, made by VRS design. No issues with GPS with this one and does the job of protecting everything well enough.

That eventually would happen to me as well I guess. Still holding off order cancellation though haha! I ordered from Aliexpress and the seller has not shipped the product yet. I'm tempted to cancel but there is really no option of enjoying the feel of a skinned phone and a bumper since RhinoShield is too bulky for me I think and they have not released one for the OnePlus 5t yet.
Hey fellas!
I am looking for a premium looking case for my nexus 6.
My phone is white if it matters.
I did like a lot the Nilkin slim border, but its out of stock everywhere.
Also i have found this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Sli...hash=item41939eb983:m:m2afeTHn0qE_nI9hygZ9iVg
Black aluminum borders.
Besides that, im looking for something that will give me a nice grip yet still make the phone look elegant and aesthetic.
Thanks!
I have that. It looks okay, but the quality is crap. I got rid of it right away.
My favorite Nexus 6 case is this one:
Ringke FUSION [Dust Cap/Drop Protection][CLEAR] Shock Absorption Bumper. (Available on Amazon)
It adds minimal bulk and fits like a glove.
I bought this case about 6mo ago, and have been very happy with it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/152687543728 (Not affiliated with the seller, just a happy customer)
Back is a clear, hard plastic (poly-carbonate?) and the "lip" is a firm TPU-type material. I've dropped it dozens of times with zero problems.
I've used the "S-shape" type cases for other phones in the past. A simpler, less "high-end" look, but they have tiny little "nubs" at the edges that give excellent grip. (Zoom in on pics to see):

I have this Ringke also and it is a good case, but I wouldn't consider it premium. It does provide adequate protection for minor bumps and falls. It has a large enough lip that my tempered glass screen protector doesn't scratch if I place the phone face-down on a table. The clear TPU yellows over time so it looks dingy though. Depending on how frequently you charge or use a headset, the dust caps can be annoying (of course they are easy to snip off the case if you like.)
Overall it is a very good case and the one I use most of the time, but particularly because of the yellowing of the clear plastic, I can't consider it a premium case.
I use a Spigen slim armor. Very nice looking and protects well. I had together it directly from Spigen though. I tried ordering one from a discounter and they send me a fake. It literally didn't even look like the real thing and lacked the kick stand and didn't even fit properly. They just printed Spigen on some random vaguly similar case and tried to pass it off.
Have had a number of cases over the years and I'm none rival the quality, feel, build, and just plain sexiness of the Seidio Dilex Pro. I'm the best kickstand case as the kickstand itself is metal as well as magnetic, it's also very sturdy. I went thru 2 Spigen Slim Armor kickstand cases after the plastic kickstands broke off then I discovered this beauty lol. Also rocking a Dbrand skin and no problems with the fit. Also the feel of the outside lip is great, more than enough to sit it face down, but formed and angled perfectly as to not in any way hinder using the screen. Seidio is also a big name company so the price is higher @ $29.99, over your run of the mill ebay cases, but as the famous saying goes, you get what you pay for lol.
https://www.amazon.com/Seidio-DILEX-Metal-Kickstand-Motorola/dp/B00S6TA3RW
Also might add that the way the metal kickstand is attached the area is flat which means sitting it on a table it will stay put instead of rocking back and forth lol. The butter shell of the 2 pieces is also covered (or made?) out of something that is pretty grippy, no slick plastic or rubbery TPU to deal with, using it for over a year in construction sites, factories, and other outdoor/dirty jobs it doesn't hold dirt or sweaty skin oils compared to others I've used, I wash mine bout once a month in hot water with dish soap and no warping, deforming, or most of all, fading, still black as the day I got it. And one last awesome thing that's soo small to be easily looked over but makes a huge difference when case makers don't do it is the side buttons, each one is individual, precision molded, and have a very satisfying feel when depressing them. It may be a tad bigger compared to bumpers or extremely thin shell cases which are barely a step up over a full Dbrand or (can't remember the other skin company) skin lol, I found myself loving the size, it's not full on OtterBox, but it still is thin enough to let me use it one handed which is whenever I'm doing anything but typing lol.
::Edit:: Oh yea, it comes in Black, Blue, Red, and White. Seidio also makes a Surface case with the metal kickstand as well and I'm sure it's just as high quality of a product I have not tried it myself and cannot attest to it's build, here is an Amazon listing tho if you would like to see it, it is one that includes a belt holster tho there are listings without the holster for cheaper.
