So I've recently purchased an X10 and I really want to take good care of it.
I've had pretty bad luck when it comes to phones breaking. (monthly)
What I want to do is to get a silicon case (or any sort of body case for the phone)
(along with a screen protector of course)
AND ALSO
get a leather pouch to put that in.
Would an X10 in a body case (ex. silicon case or otter commuter)
fit in an X10 leather pouch (ex MobiMan Premium Leather pouch)
Or would i have to get a larger leather pouch?
The reason I want the leather pouch is because I fear the screen will break.
I don't see any way around this unless there is some sort of indestructible hard plastic screen protector that doesn't interfere with the touch functions.
But if there is i'm totally content in just a case with no pouch.
Advice?

The only silicone case that can fit a leather pouch (at least the one that my phone came with) is the Sigema Procase! I bought this one (in purple color though) and it's by far the best case I ever had (and I've had quite too many, I am kind of addicted ) and it is so slim that the phone fits is the leather pouch just fine.
The case is composed of 2 materials: shock-absorbing soft rubber edge and semi-transparent hard plastic back.
The cut-outs are just perfect (much better than any other case I've tried) and will give you no problem accessing all the phone buttons and USB port.
There is also a durability test video on Youtube, though for the iPhone variant of the case.
I uploaded some pictures for you to see and help you make up your mind!
Not to offend and I may be wrong since this is just a visual assessment but that case doesn't look too safe.
I mean i'm sure I can probably find a leather (hard case) for a larger phone and fit it in there.
But.
Are there any hard screen protectors for the x10?
I know my iPod has a very hard plastic screen protector but it's a classic and not a touch so i don't know wether or not it'd interfere with touch functions.
Well
maybe I don't even need a hard plastic screen protector.
Is there any case for the X10 that just fully protects the body and the screen? (not like a pouch that you put it into when you're not using it)

I do think of myself as "overprotective" when it comes to my gadgets, but you seem to have taken overprotectiveness to a whole new level!!
Let me -try to- reassure you a little.
First of all, X10 is supposed to come with a hard shutterproof sheet preapplied!
So, don't remove that and you won't even need a screen protector at all.
As far as the case is concerned, buy one that feels safe to you and then a fairly large pouch to put your armored phone in!
There is no such thing as a case that also covers the screen, as that would render the phone unusable, due to the capacitative technology of the digitiser.

For what its worth, my case is a black tpu case(they re-badge there as i-skins) and a leather case that was about $8 plus shipping both from ebay. The phone with the tpu case fits snug into the leather belt clip. If you warm it and strech it a little it fits perfect and slides in and out with ease. I don't like the cheap screen protector that came with the tpu case and plan on getting a zagg protector.
Both the tpu case and leather were ordered on ebay.
If you want some pictures I can take some later if you pm me.
nice! I like the purple color.... i wonder if it would look alrite if a guy use it...

The TPU cases look pretty great, I may end up going with one of them. But the camera portion is raised up so the phone still won't lay flat.
Any suggestions for a slim (the slimmer the better) case that just has a cutout for the camera?
Well the phone itself doesn't lie very flat. Any thin case that doesn't cover the camera should lie flat but personally I really want the camera covered so i got the tpu hybrid (white) from eBay and really enjoy it. Good luck finding the right one! Thankfully cases are so cheap nowadays that $15 will get you several cases.
besides TPU, i really enjoy Casemate's ToughCase.
REally nice design and not any thicker than the TPU
I like my Otter Box commuter and it lays flat.

The Seidio Surface(aka The Platinum case at Best Buy) will make it lay flat, but as mentioned above, it doesn't cover the camera area.
If you look around, it seems like any case that DOESN'T cover the camera area will make the phone lay flat as the way those cases protect the camrea area is make their case thick enough so the camera area is slightly recessed.

Just got mine yesterday, love it. Not as bulky as the one on my Hero.
Well the title pretty much says it all, just a basic thread asking some basic questions.
1) Do you use a case?
- If so which one?
- how do you like it?
- are you considering something else?/ If so which one? and why?
- Does it make the phone feel bulky?
2) Do you use a screen protector
-if so which one?
-how do you like it?
-are you considering something else?/ If so which one? and why?
-If you do not use a screen protector have you had any issues with scratches?

1. Yep. Right now I have a TPU case but I'm looking at an Otterbox or something similar. Need to protect it better from work.
2. Oh heck yes. Despite being Gorilla Glass screen scratches still happen. I currently use a Zagg invisibleSHIELD. They have a life time guarantee and mild scratches tend to heal so you no longer see them. I won't be switching to another screen protector because these work so well.
1) Yes.
Had this one: Transparent Clear Protector Case Phone Cover For Verizon HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE. Fit well, appeared to be good quality, but was bulky and slippery.
Switched to this one: Fosmon S-Curve Soft Shell TPU Case for HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE - Black Like it much better. Fits well, Not at all bulky or slippery.
2) Also Yes
Have this one: GreatShield Ultra Smooth Clear Screen Protector. Very clear, but super fingerprinty. Will likely switch to something matte someday
I am currently using a TPU case, but I am waiting for Seidio to announce their surface case/belt clip combo for this phone; I've use the Seidio surface with all my previous phones.
I used to use a screen protector but stopped about a year ago.
i use the Trident Aegis case.
so far, I love it.
http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/htc-fireball-adr6410l/aegis-case-htc-fireball-adr6410l.aspx
Come with the screen protector that is pretty good quality. It is less bulky than the Ballistic case (which i also have).
Issues with the Trident are the headphone jack cutout is not wide enough in the direct of the front of the phone, needs to be filed out a bit and it's fine. The hard portion of the case is a little slippery, the guitar pick shaped area in the back is for the silicon to come through and give you non-slip when laying it on its back, this guitar pick area could be a little bigger or the hard part a less slippery material.
The colors don't seem to be quite as vivid as they look on the site, i got the blue, instead of being as bright as it is on the site, its more muted of a blue which is still nice, but not as nice.
The size to protection ration is perfect for me though. I wouldnt be afraid to drop it but can still use it as my everyday case. Also the silicon is a dust resistant one, Lint comes off very easy.
I was not happy with the ballistic due to its size and the silicon on it is a lint magnet. The ballistic corners on it while nice for grip, make getting it in/out of a pocket a pain. The hard shell on the ballistic has a much nicer feel though and is not slippery. The ballistic also does not come with a screen protector.
awesome, thanks for the answers guys!
guys it's my turn!
1) I use TPU black case from Verizon only when going on and I think I may need the extra protection.
I really like the fit of the TPU case it fits very snug, and the cut-outs for the power and the volume buttons make it a perfectly made cse + cheap. :good:
2) Un-characteristuic of me, but YES, I currently do have one on, my dad got the phone the same day and got a package, so I tossed one on.
but I took it off tonight.
don't need it TBH.
gorilla glass will scratch yes, but I'm very OCD lol.
I'm using the Incipio Feather, very nice on this phone. Seems better quality than the one I had on my Inc2.
Using some Verizon screen protectors because they were 10 bucks. Not too bad but they have camera and proximity sensor cutouts which I don't like, so I'll find some that cover the entire front.
Actually saw a very small scratch in the top right corner of the screen the first few days - decided it was worth peice of mind to spend $10 on a screen protector rather than find out gorrilla glass could scratch somewhere more irritating later. Picked up the verizon screen covers and the one on there seems to be holding up against scratches too. They don't cover the sensors/cam spots on the front as mentioned above but since those are over black areas scratches may not too bad (??)
I also tend to drop my phone every once in a while so I grabbed a cheap black/white TPU case off amazon (I think it was $15 with shipping) but the cut outs are too narrow and the volume rocker is really hard to push to activate. I'm waiting on Seidio to release an active case option and if they don't (or its not what I'm looking for) I'll probably go to incipio duo pro sycrillic's line.
I've just order the S-Curve TPU case and the Cruzerlite Androidified TPU case. Gotta see which one feels/fits better. Since the Inc4G isn't as wide as my Inc2, I think the added bulk won't be a problem. One question I have is about the TPU material sliding in and out of jeans pockets. Does it get stuck and pick up lint like the silicon case or is it fairly slick? Is it gonna be a battle royal every time I want to pull this thing out of my pocket?

I got the cruzerlite case and it is quite nice feeling. It has a mostly matte back and ribbed sides (bumpy).
It is easy to take out of pocket.

I've been liking my cheap TPU case, but completely agree about a Seidio case. I had one on my OG Droid and loved it... until it broke. Went case free after that.

No case yet but I do have an anti glare screen protector that also doenst really pick up fingerprints. I had an otterbox for my inc2 but stopped using it after a week or so. I'm not terribly rough on it at work and that made it way to big. I usually keep it in my pocket but will probably get one of those seido case/clip combo thing eventually

I've been looking around online for really low profile cases and noticed that the case mate barely there and the Incipio Feather light are almost the same case (both 6oz, minimal protection, etc.) I want to order one but I'm wondering which one (if either) protects the corners of the device. From the pictures it seems that the top and bottom are not covered. I was just wondering from people who have had experience with these cases, which protects the corners better? And do either of them have a lip over the screen? If you have both then comparison pictures would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance

I'm in the same boat as you - I'd like to see a comparison between these two (or a review of either, really).
Best I can tell from their websites/descriptions, neither really covers the top/bottom or corners. From the images, it looks like the Feather kind of tapers flush with the phone at the edges a little better (a little more sleek). The Barely There has holes for a wrist strap/tether/charm thing, if you're looking for that.
The Feather has a few more colors available (black, pink, blue, and grey), but I was able to find the Barely There in three colors (black, white, and pink).
I don't see a whole lot of difference, although you can get the Feather for a bit cheaper from Incipio's website for the remainder of the month with a coupon code (SUM2012 - gives you 20% off, I believe).
I had been fond of the Incipio Feather cases since my Blackberry days... I had bad luck with case mate barely there cases breaking on me. Then I found the Amzer Shellster case and holster combo and I will never go back. more durable and a better feel.
I just got the Incipio feather case in the mail today...I had the diztronic before that. Probably post a review/some pics tomorrow. I really like the feather, brings out the beautiful design of the evo and looks much better than the diztronic. Can't say about the case mate

i've had the spigen snap case, and loved it. design and looks just fit perfectly with the phone. only problem was it not sturdy. i think i had it for a week before taking it off to install a new sd card and the case broke. hopefully the feather or the barely there are stronger in quality. these snap cases are awesome though.
nope, never could put this little protection on my evo, I take my LTEVO through too much **** lol
i was looking for a white case like this and bought this, type "White Rubberized Hard Snap-On Case Cover FOR HTC EVO 4G LTE Sprint Accessory" in ebay (sorry cant post links). The case sticks out more than the phone on the bottom but doesnt protect the front corners. The case does not cover the top nor does it stick out more and does not protect the corners. The case sticks out very slightly along the sides of the phone giving it a reallllly slight lip. Does not provide lip for the camera, so the camera stick outs verry little. Its matte white so its a bit slippery.
Black barely there case arrived today. Its great. Slim profile, premium feel. Definitely gets my recommendation.

Can anyone give me some insight on feather/snap on cases. Do they scratch or smudge the chrome/paint on the side or outer edges of the phone from simple every day use. I ordered an incipio feather case for my Samsung galaxy note 3 and I am kinda worried that it will mess up the edges of the phone by having it on.
So I'm gonna upgrade to the HTC droid DNA in two weeks and have been trying to look for cases to buy for it. I saw a couple good ones that I'll most likely get but I'm a little bit bummed that there's not that many cases out there for the DNA.I've looked at amazon and eBay and both of them are selling about the same cases as the other kinda wish there was more selection cases for this phone..
But..all in all I'm excited to upgrade to this phone
I got the one they sell at the Verizon store its pretty nice got a kickstand. I don't use the holster.

I'm really, really happy with my seido surface. It's pretty thin and doesn't hide the sleek shape of the phone, but it still protects the screen somewhat and I feel like my phone is safe using it.
I'm thinking if getting the incipio feather case http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AMAJCTS/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1361761617&sr=8-1&pi=SL75 trynna look for the cheapest place I can get it though either that or the diztronic case http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A9YJ48Q/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1361761751&sr=8-1&pi=SL75
Or maybe this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A7HYB3S/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1361762044&sr=8-3&pi=SL75 its an aluminum sticker like that covers the whole phone I'd figure this can act as my case at the same time keep the full feel of the slim design of the phone

Free if anyone in the Bay Area wants to teach me how to root the DNA.
I got the Seidio surface case too, I dont like the form factor as much as the Feather, the feather is more stylish IMO, the color on the Seidio is clearly superior but the case is thicker so it adds more bulk. I wish the feather came in red.
One thing to make sure on DNA when purchasing a case is that it has a hole on back so you can see the rear notification light....a lot of cases on the market don't have the extra hole...

Does anyone wirelessly charge their DNA with the case on? I have an otterbox commuter case and have zero issues other then the charging. I noticed the DNA gets hot but then I noticed the rubber inner liner of the case. Anyone else have this issue?
just got the poetic palette slim case. nice fit, all the right holes (lol), very sleek. not much for protection if you drop the phone, but thats not going to happen (knock on wood)

I realize this case is two pieces, a silicone piece and an outer hard shell. Is this hard shell metal or plastic? This case looks amazing, I've been eyeballing the red and black one to match the phones aesthetics, but the price is kinda steep. Thanks
Also one last thing, how much space is left around the headphone jack? My headphone jack has a wide plastic surrounding that doesn't allow me to insert the headphones all the way into the port while the case is on.

The first case I got was the Diztronic. This was an excellent case, very very snug, it looks great and provides great protection. I also use a screen protector and I found out that the Diztronic fit so snug that it pushed up the edges of the screen protector. If you cut the corners of the screen protector this can remedy this problem. Another issue I found with the Diztronic was the headphone jack. I use Shure SE215 headphones, the jack input is very wide. With the case on the headphones wouldn't stay fully inserted. I did however find it very easy to cut the case around the headphone jack to allow the input to stay seated properly.
I've moved on to the Body Glove Dropsuit, this case is awesome. Like the Diztronic, it looks great, provides superior protection, allows access to the power and volume keys very easily (almost too easy), microphone and speaker cutouts and allows me to use an edge to edge screen protector. I've been using this case for several weeks now.
Note that both the Diztronic and the Body Glove DO NOT have a cut out for the notification light on the back of the phone.
Hope this helps!
Seidio Surface
I got the Seidio Surface case in black (not gonna worry about photos, I'm sure several exist on here or the web), and I am overall happy with it. It fits very nicely, doesn't add a lot of bulk, and all features are visible (lights and stuff).
One thing I am very happy about is the fact that it makes the power and volume buttons a little harder(?) to press. This makes me less likely to inadvertently run the ringtone volume down to silent just by picking up the phone, and I can put it into my backpack or lunch bag without pressing the power button and turning the screen on.
One slight irritation is that it caused the screen protector - which completely covers the screen - to bubble up on the edges where the case touches the screen edge, but that is minor - I could just trim the screen protector a little, if I was so inclined...
I like this case.

I have the Otterbox defender. No worries about the safety of my phone. It also feels thin because it's way thinner than my old bionic case.
