I have one right now... but it's a cheap one from Ebay. When I first bought it, it fit real nice and tight but now over a month or two it's getting loose and slides around a bit.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for the following:
1. It doesn't expose the metal part of the camera on the back cover.
2. Fits snug on the phone indefinitely (is this possible?).
... and if possible one that isn't really sticky.
Thanks!
Silicon case!
I was bought one silicon case on HTC STORE http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176956 and is great. Cost 20$.
hi, i have a clear one of these, think i would buy the grey next time. its also a cheap ebay item. its very snug, not as flexible (which makes removal a bit of an effort) and nowhere near as sticky as some silicon cases.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Soft-Silicone...h=item110357833639&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
hope this helps
Yeah i bought one of those that bl1nky recommended. The only thing i can say is that the fit around the bezel edge is not as good as other 'softer' silicon covers.
In my case particularly, the right hand edge is badly formed and seems to pull away from the HD bezel.
In addition i find that locating and using the power switch to be troublesome and it's this that i find most annoying.
My personal quest for the perfect case continues....
Thanks for the suggestions... I'm also in the search of a perfect case. You wouldn't think it would be this hard!
I am using this from boxwave. The fit is nice and not sticky. I went with the clear one.

They look the same from what I can tell in the pictures... but you never know on Ebay it could be a cheaper knock-off of the original. I don't know because I haven't purchased the one from Ebay. I will be getting mine today or tomorrow from Boxwave and I'll take some pics of it and stuff and update here.
Is it the non-transparent one with small camera hole? (I'm in the boarding shcool where ebay is locked) If so, it's good, but rather thick, good for protection, but will make your HD thicker (around 16mm). If not, just remove this post.

Ok so I got the case and have been using it for two days now. It is pretty damn nice actually. It fits well, not too tight and not too loose either. It's not sticky like the cheap Ebay one I have so I can easily slide it in and out of my pocket. I got the smoke color. It's clear and shiny so it suits the HD well. I like being able to see the phone through the case as well.
can try this silicon case from Capdase
CW any pics mate ??
i got the silicon case from ebay and its not a tight fit.come off very easily. am now on the hunt for another case. there is a case for the iphone which is a plastic case but a rubberised finish.

I have a crappy digicam but here are some. Sorry for the blur It doesn't like to focus up close...
cheers CW looks good, next question, do you use a car holder of any sorts ?
If so hows the fit ?
So I just got the otterbox communer (commuter?) and I noticed it doesn't fit on the top.. there is a slight gap between the top of the phone where the speaker is and the actual case.. it doesn't really make contact.
Is this the norm or should I exchange mine?
Mine fits fine. I really like it. I had for my EVO 4G as well. You just have to adjust it and make sure its on right.

I had it for the old Evo as well.
I tried adjusting it, it is simply just made a slight bit bigger than the phone itself. I think I'll take it back tomorrow and see if a different one fits better.
Only problem with that is, I used the screen protector.... will they still take a return?
mine fits a started off with the defender n it was way to bulky 4 me took it back and got a commuter. couldn't be happier... well till theres root > anyway have u tried pushing the top in some more?
I agree. The silicone is definitely a bit big. I can see the headphone hole when I look under the case with it on
Mine fits the same way. Theres a small gap at the top. I think Im going to return it because of this. Im too OCD to see that gap all the time.
Just got a 3vo today with a commuter case...fits fine..no problems..

It's eating me up... I had this phone naked since the 23rd? It's made me crazy thinking I was gonna scratch it... now I get the usually exceptionally nice otterbox... and it doesn't fit =\
How about the screen protector that comes with it? is it worth it to out it on?

The screen protector that comes with it is nice. Don't buy the "sprint" ones because they don't cover the entire screen....
I installed the screen protector and it fits perfect. No issues at all. Maybe return the case or contact otterbox. They have great customer service.

My question is does anyone know if the commuter will fit in the official car dock. I doubt it but just curious.w

It doesn't fit perfectly in the iGrip car dock that Sprint's selling, if you want it to charge you'll have to snip off the rubber USB cover and modify the dock just a bit. Nice dock, though.
Just exchanged the commuter case for another one.... same problem. That little gap up top is going to be a catch-all for all sorts of junk =\
Anyone know of another case like this? I like the rubber case with the plastic clipping overtop of it... that way it doesn't scratch the phone.

Try the Case-Mate Tough Case. Similar design to the Commuter, fits flawlessly. I reviewed it in detail here.

Looks good. I need to find some pretty close up pix of how it fits on the phone tho.. since that's the only issue I have with the otterbox.
I'm experiencing the same thing, its pissing me off, IDK why they didn't make it so you had to stretch the rubber over the phone, its too big for the phone...
would have been okay if the black plastic piece went over the top and crimped it in place, but as we all know, there isn't any there
Since you guys mentioned it, now I see it too.
A lot of dust/lint collected in just one day it seems as I found out after taking the cover off to see if I could readjust the silicone to make it fit better. No go!
I think I am gonna return this!
Does any one know if Case-mate Tough Case is as pretty as this Otter Commuter baby?

They were available on eBay before the P6800 were even officially released. I got one and it fits very well, but using the Samsung book case now.
There is lot of them there for very cheap:

I found one today while looking for the same thing myself. Can't post links due to be a new site member, but if you look up on ebay the user 'freebitsuk' you'll be able to get to their store.
They also have it bundled with a screen protector too. Three colors available black, pink & purple.

How flexible would you say this case is? I'm deciding between this one and a silicon case myself. I'd like something more flexible than a plastic hard case, but not as floppy as silicone.

Don't know how long they will take to deliver, though.

dont worry about that，quality really good. cant be break easy，and feel nice when you hold it，smooth put on face.
I have the Smasung OEM case and it works beautifully....for me I think covering the screen is more important than covering the aluminium back. The first perceived issue with the OEM case "flap" is really not an issue at all as mine has never flapped open becuase of the way it is carried. In edition, it can be positioned in either landscape or portrait mode. It is a good idea to keep the rubber grip edge on the case clean so it continues to grip any surface. This device is such a beautiful design that I find the Samsung case compliments it very well.

TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane, it's a different material from silicone.
Generally firmer and has a more rigid structure.
Anyone have any experience with a case from Ventev? I've never even heard of them, but looking at their site it seems they make a lot of products.
Anyways I found this http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=532148&eventPage=1.
Honestly never heard of them myself. The price looks like it may be on the high end for what it seems to be, but if it's good quality then it'd be worth it. If you get one, post back and let us know how it is. I have a cheap Ebay TPU case on the way for now but I'm keeping my eye out for a good one.

Thanks, I saw that. I've had 2 piece cases on my other phones in the past (incipio, body glove) and I actually prefer the cheap TPU ones best. The cheap TPU ebay/amazon ones (like this: http://tinyurl.com/ct4ktzd) are really low profile, slide in and out of the pocket easily, are flexible yet firm enough to absorb shock from reasonably high drops and only cost like $3. Hopefully someone comes out with one for the OG soon. I might buy one of those ones you linked to in the meantime.

Ventev Case
The case arrived and fits the AT&T LG Optimus G E970.
The case consists of 2 parts, a TPU case and a Polycarbonate back cover. The Polycarbonate back cover can be taken off and you can then just use the TPU case.
All buttons remain functional with the case even though the case covers them, and all of the ports and the camera remain functional and accessible.
I have no problem slipping in or taking the phone out of my pocket with the case on.
The case does add significant thickness and heft to the phone, but the case seems solid.
I should mention that I ordered the case from Amzer.com, but it looks identical, and has Ventev printed on the back Polycarbonate cover.

The notification light gets covered up unfortunately.
Here's some crappy pictures. Only complaint is the tpu rubber part fits really tight. It was hard to get in and lifted up the corner of the screen protected. But took it straight from mailbox and put on phone, so maybe I should have let it warm up.
Thanks for the pictures, folks. I'll probably go ahead and get the Ventev case for now until Otterbox comes out If it does, of course).
So, from what I see, the Amzer and Ventev cases are identical, except for the logo on the back?

Take a look at "Anymode"

It completely cover your phone, back and front with transparent plastic shell.
As for user experience, it failed completely. To use its provided front protector, you need to increase touch sensitivity, which sometimes doesn't work.
I got frustrated and throw it away already. Well.. at least it completely covers the phone as you asked for!!

Since you seem to be in US - I have the EU version of this:
http://www.amazon.com/GENUINE-Black-MUZZANO-SAMSUNG-GALAXY/dp/B00FGXZLG4/
The quality in my model is excellent for the price - but the EU version was offered by mumbi (under a name like X-TPU) and was only 2 colors, so it might be a little different.
Depending on your definition about slim, you can take a look at this one:http://goo.gl/jtnRVd

I'm using the Body Glove Shocksuit for my Note III. It's slim and covers the entire phone I had one on my S III before. It's is good looking and tough. You can't find it on their site. I ordered it off of Amazon.
Hi guys I've just found a great case it's on ebay 0.3mm thick covers all but a small section of the bezel at the bottom. It adds virtually no bulk, phone feels great to hold again, and it cost less than £3 !!! It's just arrived and I'm really chuffed with it only issue so far is It isn't raised past the camera at the back, cutouts seem nice tho! Ive added the link below, Hope this helps you all. This case is super thin!!
