I got my girl a BB Curve today, and got some info on the Vibrant. While I was at the store, all the G1 stuff was on sale for $1.99 - like all the stuff. Cases, screen protectors, whatever.
Just FYI, and YMMV, of course....

I'll have to check my store. Thanks for the heads up!
Cool, gonna check out my local T-mobile stores and see if I can pick up anything good. I could use a new screen protector for 1.99
Yep, got me a new rubber cover and car charger for $1.99. Just in time as my old case was getting pretty worn out.
Thanks for the heads up.. I'll see if the one in my area is doing that.
Yep. Mine sure was doing it. I picked up a few body glove faux leather cases with belt clips, few back covers, holster, a gel skin / car charger combo.
All were $1.99 each. I really appreciate the heads up on the blowout sale.
Also wanted to add my thanks - my local T-Mobile store was running the sale as well and I was able to pick up two backs and a Bodyglove case for 2 bucks a piece.
Wish the headset adapters were on sale (still 10 bucks a piece), though.
Thanks a ton! I grabbed a car charger/gel skin combo for $1.99 and a (probably faux) leather case for $1.99. Probably should've skipped on the screen protectors, 2 for $10, because they're much cheaper online. Got them anyway and saved on shipping.
Thanks again for the heads up.

Thanks, gotta bodyglove cover for 1.99 but then decided I don't like it. It adds a 1/4 inch all round to the size, the belt clip sucks and no glass protection. Oh well, cheap mistake.
gonna hafta go check this out!

Back covers? Like the OEM Battery covers that say "With Google" ? If so, I need to call the t-mo store I hit yesterday for my stuff and see if they have them. I have a rogers dream, which doesn't have any branding on the front except htc, and rogers on the battery cover... so if I can replace the battery cover with the google one, that'd be awesome!

I just recently got my 3vo and i need a case for it, never been a big fan of the otterboxes (just seem too bulky). I need a case that looks good and gives some protection.. i have a 2 year old that loves to play with my phone.. But im not sure what to get.. I dont work in construction or take my phone on any extreme sports, but i do forget my phone on my lap in the car all the time and go to get out and boom it hits the ground.. so i do need some protection..
So far this is the one im likeing

If you have a Best Buy near you, you can go there an try on some cases. They carry the one you posted too.
I had that case for my Evo 4G and I liked it a lot. Very nice case. The ones at Best Buy are named Pt, but they are made ny Seidio for Best Buy. Same exact case, just a different name stamped on it.

The casemate tough case is pretty nice. It's not super big like the defender but its not slim either. But it looks nice, fits great and protects well. I got mine off ebay for about 22 bucks new. Well worth it. I also have the seidio active but prefer the tough case and haven't taken it off for the last 2 weeks or so except to clean it.

I'm still waiting for the Ballistic Case for the Evo 3D to make its appearance on their website; waiting on the HC version.
The CaseMate's look pretty good as well. I've seen good reviews for the Tough Case that they make.
However, SLM is correct. Go try out the Platinum cases at Best Buy before you take the plunge with the Seidio case. It costs $34.99 at Best Buy for the same Seidio one you're interested in.
I'll tell you from experience that I have the Platinum case (a.k.a. a rebranded version of the Seido Active case), and it's pretty sweet! Rumor has it that Best Buy will also be getting the Seidio 1900 mAh batteries as well, but they'll too be rebranded as Platinum. The case I got is excellent and slimmer than the Otterbox cases. It comes in two pieces. You have a silicone sleeve with a felt-like interior that wraps around the phone, and then you have a strong plastic skeleton that wraps around the sleeve. Although the case is great, there are a few things that I don't like about it. For one, if you keep your phone in your pocket like me, you'll start to notice pocket lint collect around the edges of the case. Also, it's sometimes hard to press buttons around the edges of the phone. For example, I use Swype, and when I have to manually type in a word instead of swiping, it can be difficult pressing letters such as P or A. I'll accidentally hit the O or S keys. But it does offer damn good protection. I've gotten so accustomed to the case that it's just weird to hold the phone without it. The case also protects the dual cameras in the back. I have no clue why HTC decided to have the cameras stick out, but this case offers protection for them. As far as my pocket lint issue goes, I think I might invest in a holster for the phone. I'm not sure if Best Buy sells the Platinum branded holster that is compatible with the Active case, but I'll look sometime this week and let you know. I use my phone as my primary music player, whether it's mp3s stored on the phone, FM radio, or Internet radio, and I think that having it on my hip instead of my pocket will be a little bit more convenient for me.
As far as cases go, I've only seen the Platinum case with the black skeleton being sold at Best Buy. Seido sells their Active case with different colored skeletons, but the sleeve still remains black. I'm kinda disappointed Best Buy didn't sell the burgundy skeleton. I think it would've looked nice on this phone (I'm a fan of dark red colors.). If you want something more rugged, Seido sells on their website the Surface case (a hard two piece plastic shell available with or without a kickstand) and the Convert case. If you plan on drunkenly abusing your phone or chunking your phone at the wall after a pissed off conversation, I recommend the Convert case. It's like a combination of the Active and Surface cases. The inner layer is the Surface case, and then it's wrapped with a silicone sleeve and skeleton like the Active case. It also has a detachable cover for the rear cameras. To top it all off, the Convert case comes with a precision-cut screen guard. I don't really need all that thickness and protection, but I would put money down that the Convert case holds up to its name. If you plan on getting an extended battery though, make sure you get an extended case since the regular cases won't fit with the extended battery door.
Anyway, I hope this helps. Good luck shopping for the right case!
I bought a silicon case with the wave. Protects camera, wich had to be protected since it sticks out. Also protects the other buttons and seems to fit well...
Its only 1,50 dollar so thats not a bad deal.
The TPU case is really awesome. It's on ebay and really cheap! Just search ebay for "evo 3d tpu case"
Only one downside, almost every 3vo owner has it
Red Body Glove case
I have the Body Glove case in red, and I like it a lot. It is a nice looking case.
I have no issues with mine unlike some others, but check out the pictures here:

Sounds good, let us know what you decide. Bhambalek said they only have the black skeleton shell at his Best Buy. My local Best Buy only had them in white. Maybe yours will have both so you'll have options. Good luck!

Just unpacked and put on my Seidio Active with holster, got the saphire blue from Versio Mobile on Amazon, 34.49 shipped.
Very nice case, fits very snug, like the inner skin and outer skeleton, holster is very solid. Only complaint, that the camera glass is not protected; probably order a carbon skin so I can throw some protection on that glass. Had a TPU on her since day one and glad I upgraded to this one.

I also like and recommend the TPU Skin Cover Phone Case for HTC Evo 3D http://www.amazon.com/TPU-Cases-Flexible-Sprint-Retail-Packaging/dp/B0053NWDO0
I have the Sedio Surface case and am happy with it. Decent protection and it has a kickstand also.
I posted a review on sprintusers, but dont know the policy here about linking to other forums.
i picked up the PT Cruiser case yesterday, i was able to get the black and white one that i liked.. Now i first off the bat i really like the look and feel of the case, but i dont like how the phone fits in the rubber sleeve, its not a real snug fit. So i can see pocket lint and other things easily able to get inbetween the phone and the rubber side, but other then that i like it so far.. Its still a lil early to make a final decision on the case..
But again thanks for everyones responces, i have to say this site really does rock!!
one word: otterbox defender. Ok so that was 2 words.
I have four requirements:
(1) Decent protection all around except for screen.
(2) Protection for the camera.
(3) Must lie flat and not wobble when typing w/phone on table.
(4) Must not make the phone significantly fatter (otterbox is OUT).
Anyone have any suggestions? I actually like the gel case from Sprint but it doesn't protect the camera.
Mike
i like seidio case the best
i've tried all sorts of cases and I keep coming back to my casemate tough case, can't go wrong with that one. It's not that bulky and offers just the right amount of protection without having your phone inside a vault like the defender.
Seidio Active or Platinum Cruiser. I had the Seidio on my Evo 4G for a year. Get the holster from Seidio to prevent the lint issue and clip it inside of your pocket. Something that nobody mentioned is that the rubber bezel allows you to set the phone face down without the screen contacting. That also makes it slip resistant and prevents an unattended ringing phone from vibrating off of the desk. Not too much bulk either.

Found what looks to be a knockoff of an Otterbox Defender that (according to the seller) fits our AT&T variant of the Galaxy S2. I've got one ordered and will report back when it shows up to let everyone know how well it fits. He has quite a few colors listed on his Ebay store, though I was boring and just went with black.
http://stores.ebay.com/Monster-Acce...799423011&_sid=62112801&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
Yes please let us know how it works out for you. The one thing ive noticed with the knock-off otterboxs is the silicon skin is a little more plyable.
I've torn the silicon skin on so many "real" otterbox cases that might be a good thing. Especially since you can't buy just the silicon bits.
I contacted one of the ebay sellers that's listing a "not"erbox, about the fit and whether or not it has a built-in screen protector.
His reply: Thank you for your interest. Yes it does have a built-in screen protector but the quality isn't that great. Many of our customers ened up removing it. There is a very slight size difference between i777 and i9100 but this case will fit both.
I ended up buying the Seidio combo from Bestbuy for $34.
I take the screen protector off, too much dust and other stuff can get in-between the plastic protector and glass.
So I got the knockoff in...the case itself fits pretty well though it's obviously made for the international version. The biggest issue is how badly the belt clip attaches to the holster...if I dare try and rotate the thing it falls right off the clip. The built-in plastic screen protector on even the brand name ones annoy me, but this one annoys me more. I think I'm going to have to try out this particular seller's return policy unfortunately. I think for the price & low-quality build of this thing people should steer clear, especially now that better options are showing up for less than 2x the cost at major retailers.

That's the one I want
I messed around with one at a local mall store. The guy wanted $20 for it without the holster, but that's not why I passed on it. I thought it fit well enough, but the built-in screen protector was a waste of effort on the manufacturer's part. It was brownish, foggy and scratched (and that's after I removed the plastic protection). Seems like they could have done better with that, or just left it off.
The other problem was that there were no holes for the mic (near the headphone jack). So, I'll continue to wait... The Trident site states that there Kraken AMS for Galaxy S2 is "coming soon". Hope it's for the i777. I'd be on that quick.
I just talked to Trident on the phone, and they said that it's the Kraken AMS (the one with the solid exoskeleton) coming for the I777 next month (Jan). She said it was coming in all of their colors, too.
I have 1 of these it's called a ballistic case I paid 35 dollars at an at&t store and I absolutely love it. its it's very very snug anime iphone pills extra protective since I work in a warehouse and I've had a lot of cracked screens on my other phones because dropping them on the hard concrete. it does add some way to the phone as well as a definite notice and thickness. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to protect their phone. I'm positive this will last most users until the next upgrade.

Wondering if anyone has tried it yet? I know the high gloss Silicon case fits in the car mount (as the mount comes with inserts to allow either an extended battery, or a reg. battery, with case... to fit.)
Anyone?
I've been using the case for about a day now and might just keep the black tpu one from Verizon. In hand, the case feels great and I like how the ports have flaps to keep junk from getting inside. The only downside I've found is the silicone attracts a ridiculous amount of lint. Took it out of my jacket pocket this morning and it practically needed to be wiped down with a damp cloth. I'll be damned if I am going to carry around wet naps to keep this thing clean
Jesus Christ doesn't that bother The hell out you? It drives me crazy LOL. I'm in construction so I keep my phone in a sandwich baggy at all times in work, while its in my pocket. But as soon as I take it outta the bag and put it in my pocket, you can forget it. It becomes a frikken mess. Bit its not too bad. I liked the one for my EVO 3D better. Ohh well, that's life I guess

Nope. I just got mine and tried it with the "iBolt" car mount made for the RZD and it does not fit properly. It isn't a matter of overall size - it's the fact that Otterbox cases usually, as in the case of the RZD cases, have a plug/flap over the USB connector. Unless you can live with cutting it off, you can't fit the Commuter case in the dock because the flap is in the way, open or closed.

Just got mine today and feel exactly the same way. The plastic back makes it kind of slick in the hand. Does OK in the pocket.
Plus it does not fit in my cup holder stand.
I do like the screen save though. Comes close to covering the entire screen.
since there doesn't seem to be a post about it yet...
the speck case that retail is carrying is wonderful. just like the atrix case, smooth on the back, raised rubber around the screen so it wont slide if you turn it over and doesn't add too much heft.
only downside is the ridiculous $40 they are charging for it. get it somewhere else unless you have a 50% premier discount.
on a side note, the screen protector they sell is actually pretty good too, i'm not noticing any difference in screen sensitivity.
I just the black and grey speck case today, will hold me off until a Ballistic or otterbox comes around.
I thought AT&T had a promotion where you get free accessories for the cost of the device?
Keep in mind you have 30 days to return it if you don't want it. No restock fee.
I think You can get a better case from SGP for much less. Just saying.

I love the sgp screen protectors but think the speck cases are better than sgp. I bought a sgp hybrid case for my skyrocket and it was so bad I think I tried to give it away and nobody wanted it. I think I tossed it. I saw a girl drop her iPhone yesterday with a speck candy shell case and it bounced around and was fine. I think they are a bit bulky for the pocket but they are superb at protection.
But 40 bucks is a bit steep!

I bought the Speck today at AT&T. It's really nice. Fits perfect, and I like how it makes it really easy to push the volume/power buttons. I'm going to be registering my AT&T account under a corporate account since I can get 24% off my monthly bill. Sure I'll qualify discounts on accessories after that. So I may end up returning this and re-buying it for the discount LoL

This Speck is just a thin hard plastic case. Not thick at all.
I purchased the Speck on impulse . It provides great coverage and I like it...except for the super easy scuffing on the backside of
the case. I just think the case should retain it's good looks....especially for $40.

When I picked up my preordered Note at the store they hadn't had any of the accessories on display. I was disappointed that the Speck case didn't come in a neutral white (I don't mind pink in general but I wanted white with grey interior not pink). Anyone know if the Speck case will come in more colorways?
I've quickly decided I don't like this case at all. Doesn't fit into any dock, and is a pain in the butt to remove and put on. One can argue that it shouldn't be easy to get a case off, but they make it extremely difficult to remove. Looking into that TPU case.
pics of speck case?
It is a nice case but $40 for a thin silicone liner covered by a shiny black shell? That complaint aside, it is a decent case that slips in and out of the pocket easily and does a nice job of protecting the mighty Note.
However, I do wish they would go with a less shiny, less scratch prone back.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Premium-Hyb...ccessories&hash=item2c62bc725a#ht_4614wt_1163 I like this one.... I love the double layers of the otterbox, but dont like the price. I usually buy a case at the att store, order a case from ebay, return the att case.
I bought this case while I was waiting for my sline case I ordered fro eBay to come in. The power button kept waking up my phone because the case made the button very sensitive. I took it off after 3 days because I decided I was going to return it. It also had gaps between the screen and the case that dirt and dust kept getting in. It was very hard to get on and off. Never been afraid of breaking my phone to take off a case before. I was also unhappy that it showed oil and fingerprints very easily. And apparently scratches very easy. I went to take it back to the ATT store and the greeter immediatley said let me see it because these cases scratch really easy and we can't take them back if they are scratched. He said yep see that there a couple scratches and we wont be able to return it.
Long story short I complained and got a discount but beware of this case. Be sure you like it for $40 and are willing to keep it before you buy it.

Good thread! I just pulled for the Moko. Not only is it supposed to be here Wed, it's a bit cheaper. I use a Steelie in the car and I don't like having the magnet on the phone and in my pocket so instead of having two cases I will just put the Steelie mount on the belt case clip and use it while in the car. For day-to-day I'll use the Moko and not have to worry about switching cases. I hope this works with Qi too.
The Steelie works great in the car as a mount. For the Moto X 2013 I can leave the case with the magnet on and NFC tap-to-pay works. With the OnePlus One, the magnet works great and NFC works but tap-to-pay will not work with the magnet in place. That means if I want to tap-to-pay I have to use a case without the Steelie. I think this Moko arrangement will work a lot better since I won't have to keep changing cases.
Just ordered the case from amazon referred to above.. For 6 bucks, free shipping with prime, and expedited delivery, it's worth giving it a shot. Seems to come in two parts, a protective case plus a seperate belt clip holster for sliding the device in and out of.

from the pics it looks to have a belt clip... the only thing im not to fancy on is the built in screen protector and its added size... everything else looks good IMHO
Seidio Convert
This case is not available or even announced yet, but I'm guessing it's probably in the works right now. In my opinion, Seidio makes the most rugged case for Nexus phones, called the Convert, which comes with a holster/belt clip. I had one for my N4, which got stolen :crying:, and currently have it on my N5 (pic below). If Otterbox had made their Defender case for my Nexuses, I probably would have gotten that instead. The Convert has no built in screen protector and is kind of pricey, but has major protection.
Seidio Convert for Nexus 5:

seidio is mia. i ve emailed them a dozen times with nothing more than "we're looking into it". can't wait. got the moko case and it looks like a winner, esp for $2
I ordered the moko for 2 dolla. Mainly just for when I'm at work. I ordered a dbrand skin for the back too. Hopefully it won't interfere with the case fitting. If it does...the case was 2 dollars. Lol.
actually...that moko case is a damn fine case. looks like it will do everything i need it to do. of course, i don't have the fn nexus 6 yet to test it in the field, but it looks like it'll do the job just fine. best $2 case EVER...
I would love seidio to make a case for the nexus 6 but all I got was the generic response too. " we are looking in to it". Its too bad because I love their spring clip on their holsters. I looked into moko and unicorn beetle but didn't like the release of either if them. The spring clip from seidio is the best.
received the i-blason case today. i thought it was identical to the moko case but there are several key differences to note:
1. rubber section is far thicker and of a better quality than the moko. the moko was driving me crazy with the amount of dust it was attracting. this one is a much harder/more durable rubber. it's MUCH better
2. having said that, because its thicker, the buttons are a bit harder to press, particularly the power. works perfectly mind you, just takes a bit more effort to press
3. the hard shell is slicker than the moko. hopefully this will wear off soon as its fairly slippery as it stands now
4. the belt clip section is a clip in rather than a slide in. only got it tonight so i have yet to try it in the field. seems secure enough, though not as secure as the slide in of the moko. the advantage here though is i can take this out of the clip MUCH faster than the moko
5. if you have the moko, you can use this on the moko slide in belt clip if you prefer. i'm going to try the clip in holster for a bit to see how i like it
overall, a very solid alternative to the moko, particularly if you were getting annoyed by the cheap rubber collecting dirt
I got the SupCase Unicorn Beetle from amazon on sell for $12 taxes n shipped yesterday, actually received my nexus yesterday too. I got that price because the case wasn't out yet when I ordered it so it had them listed for $7.99 at the time.
So far I am very impressed with the quality. The built in screen protector is actually useful and doesn't hinder the screen at all. I did notice a bit of glare under certain lighting but nothing too annoying.
It does come with a belt clip and its a bit different from what I had on my note 2 but so far its functional and very sturdy product. Highly recommend.
well seidio finally has a nexus 6 page now. still coming soon and notify me crap, but its a start i guess

i really hope for a Seidio Dilex and holster combo!
Combination
I like to show off my Nexus and I have had too many bad experiences with belt clips with single clips. My combo is this Spigen case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OH4I7UU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5 and this holster http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Holster-Pouch-Protector-Cover/dp/B00OX3Z89S/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1419472114&sr=8-7&keywords=case+for+belt+nexus+6

Just ordered one. Cannot wait for it to arrive. I have had a UAG case on it since day one and I cannot take photos with the flash on. It leaves a smoky affect in the photos. How are photos with the flash on with the supcase?

Please, if you have any other cases laying around, let us know if the holster would work with the Surface holster. On past phones, I know I could get other cases (not all) to work with Surface and Dilex holsters. I have the Supcase hybrid case now. If Amazon were selling the holster, Id buy it in a heartbeat to test, because I know I could easily return it to Amazon.
I got my Unicorn Beetle Pro this past monday and I'm impressed with the quality. The only real complaint that I have about it is that they didnt flatten out the back of the case so that the phone lays flat on a table or something. Most annoying thing ever to lay your phone on the desk and try to do something on it only to have it start wobbling away.
crackberry.com has the seidio active case for 31.95, ships 1/22, use coupon code JB15 for 10% off NOTE. The cases and holsters are sold seperately, great if you just want the holster, or just the case.
