Currently have xperia x10(hence the forum =), but my case is bothering me greatly. I have a stupid silicon one i bought online, it offers great protection, but makes the phone unattractive and comes off wayyyy to easily. Anybody have any suggestions on a new one? I'm thinking of the otterbox or the incipio one. I'm looking for an attractive case that has somewhat decent protection. Any suggestions?
I have a smoke clear case made of TPU that I got on eBay for just a few dollars (U.S.D.). It's not bulky like the hard plastic or rubberized plastic cases are and it's not sticky like the silicone cases can be. The case itself is bendable and 'rubbery,' but smooth. I think it offers great protection for the price. I've been using it since last year with no problems.
I got mine from an eBay seller named 'dcmugen88.' There are other cases for the X10 that are made of TPU, but the smoke clear one he sells has no designs on it and I like that.
He's selling one now for $3.49 (U.S.D.) and free shipping:

Oh...my girlfriend has an HTC EVO 4G with a TPU case too. She recently dropped the phone into water accidentally, and the TPU case kept almost all the water out of the protected areas. Her phone still works perfectly.
I did not like the silicone case, I wonder anyone took his leather case?
I am looking to get the otterbox commuter case but they want $50+ for shipping also... which is too much IMO.... if anybody knows of any sites please let me know....

i use krusell leather case for the x10 and i would recommend it greatly ... the clip system is just great ...especially if you use your x10 as navigation device in your car or for sports on your arm/bike ...
it offers great protection too for normalday use ..

Hi
I purchased a Capdase Alumor Metal Case from mobilefun.co.uk, its a really good fit and feels sturdy, I am very happy with it.
I got one of the silicone cases of of amazon and it is muck, terrible fit.
there arent good cases for x10 out there....
I have used many cases. I am still searching for "thee" case.
So far I have used the silicon, and gel/cases and they are bleh.
I did try a leather case, the Melkco Jacka type case.
http://www.melkco.com/scripts/main/viewitem-SESE10LCJT1BKIT-SE10.html
I really like this case, BUT, and this is a bit BUT, it's poor design.l The phone fits/snaps into place perfectly, however, its a "from the bottom" flip case. The cover, when you flip it over, at the bottom presses the home button. This turns your phone screen on. At this point the cover is now pressing on the home button the entire time the cover is closed. The screen does time out in 5 seconds, however, while in your pocket, it constantly bumps and activate the screen with he slightest touch. Draining battery.
I am about to order this case. So far I have been told it's probably the best case there is for an x10. It's an Incipio case. http://www.myincipio.com/Sony-Erics...on-Xperia-X10-EDGE-Hard-Shell-Slider-Case.asp
What I really want is a Seidio case. Too bad they don't make them for the x10. I have one for my atrix and it;s the best case I have ever had.

So I wanted to start out this review by saying, that when I originally bought my Evo 3D, I had purchased an Otterbox case which they sell at Sprint for it as well. I am a bit neurotic when it comes to my phones and always have to have them protected. I had the Otterbox on till the day I received my Seidio Active case from the great people of Seidio to try out. To be honest, I was actually going to use the Seidio case for a week and then go back to the Otterbox, but actually I just got back from Sprint, I just returned the Otterbox.
I have to say that in my opinion this Seidio case has the Otterbox beat hands down. The grooves that the Active case has for your fingers and the material they use for the silicone underlay just feel better. I compared the Otterbox to the Active case and when it comes to size, the Otterbox in my views is bigger and bulkier, but it seems that the Seidio case more protection. The silicone on the Otterbox feels like its half the amount used on the Active case, it’s a flimsier feel then Seidio’s. Now you would think because the Seidio case is smaller, it would give you less protection, but I feel that my phone is much more protected.
Another benefit with the size of the Seidio Active case, is that it feels much better in the pocket, however with both phones there is a bit of resistance when taking it from the pocket due to the silicone, but it happens with all silicone based cases. The only real downside I have seen with the Active case when using it for the past couple of days is that the silicone attracts lent from your pocket, but can easily removed with a wipe of a cloth.
The main thing that I am happy about, and have read in other reviews of the case is the protection the case provides to the camera. I had recently bought a TPU case from online and returned it immediately after seeing that the case lined perfectly with the camera casing, leaving it open to scratches and marks.
Another big thing that is a benefit with this case, compared to the Otterbox, is that all the cut outs for the power button and charging ports line up perfectly. I noticed that on the headphone jack on my Otterbox it was cut out incorrectly leaving me to have to jam the headphone jack into place. Not with the Active case, everything lines up perfectly. The silicone is cut to an exact precision. I know that the ports don’t have a cover like the Otterbox, but I actually prefer this, its an easy access and most of the time, I am prepared for those covers to break off in time, giving the phone a cheap look.
I know that some are disappointed that the case doesn’t come with a built in screen protector like the Otterbox but not I. I love that it doesn’t, I feel that the built in protectors have a more rubbery feel to them then other protectors. I would personally recommend the Screen Guards from Seidio; they are smooth like glass and fit to a tee.
In an overall judgment I give the phone a 10/10. There is not one thing I would change about this case, I love it more then anything. It looks great and feels even better. I would highly recommend this case to anyone who is in the market for a new case. Not only are you buying a great case, you are buying it from a great company that is willing to go that extra mile and help you out when it is needed, whether it is a return or replacement, and this type of customer service just gives me that little extra push to buy Seidio then any other company.
Looks just like the Innocase Rugged( minus the inner 2-piece hard shell) that I used on my Evo 4G before going to the Ballistic HC. How much is this case and who all sells it? Hope to be getting my 3D in the next couple weeks and may just get this case to go on it. My Innocase Rugged held up great, just replaced it with the Ballistic HC based on looks....
Still torn though honestly, I like the fact that the Otterbox covers the camera area better

Looks nice man love the otter box defender keeps the ports covered . I was thinking about the convert combo looks cool tho heard bad things about the rebrand from breast buy folks said it was cheap feel and broke at times for folks camera flap was kinda gay folks were sayin it had a bad feel .
If u test the convert combo out let me know to me the otter box defender looks way and feels better then what breast buy has out sexy and smooth.
When trident and ballistic come out with the kraken and aegis from trident will be sweet and the tank from ballistic will be sweet .
Yeah, i like the port covers but on the otterbox case i had for less then a week, the port covers already started to rip before returning it which is a downside... thats why i like having no port covers, its in preparation of when it does fall off!
and just so you know, this is the Active Case, made by Seidio.
Agree 100% with OP. Returned Otterbox Defender (too bulky, hard to type) returned Otterbox Commuter (felt thin, cheap, low quality, rubber not tight)
Bought Seido rebranded as Platinum from Bestbuy same as OP (except mine is black rubber with white back.) Rubber is almost TWICE as thick as Otterbox, way tighter on phone and just feels much much better. Better grip, better weight (and +1 on appearance)
it was $37.88 at bestbuy, same price as my Otterbox commuter refund.
Totally satisfied, would recommend 100%, would buy this PT/Seido again tomorrow if I had to.
Edit...and no power slot cover which is a +1 since it eliminates the extra step pain in the a.. and seemed unnecessary anyway. Can of aerosol air blast removes and dust or lint from that port in 2 seconds
...nice upgrade from hero
I'm a Seidio fan.
The only problem I ever saw personally with the active case was the corner pieces breaking easily. I had a couple of them and experienced the same problem. Otherwise...nice case.
Ok, I finally got my Otterbox Defender today. First impression is that it isn't exactly the way I thought it would be. I am not sure exactly what I was expecting but I know it wasn't quite what I got.
Pro: plastic shell feels pretty solid around phone and I really like the way the solid clear protector covers the whole screen it makes me feel a lot less worried about messing up my phone. The silicon/rubber outer sleeve holds the two halves of the hard shell together and gives a good grip. There is no way for it to fall out of the holster.
Con: my biggest complaint would be the silicone/rubber outer sleeve feels a bit sloppy. I would have expected it to be tighter, more exactly form fitting. The outer sleeve also picks up every piece of lint that comes it's way and because it is a black case white pocket lint shows very well. It is very difficult/awkward to remove from the holster, that may get better over time as out gets worn in a bit.
Conclusion: pretty good case that should do it's job but over priced at this time, at $10 it would be a deal, at $15 it would still be a good value, at $20 it's something I would consider and at the $30 I paid after shipping and handling well I feel like I over paid but I don't feel like I was robbed. I will be keeping it.....for a while at least.
***EDIT***
Ok after playing with it, the fact that the soft outer case is not super tight is not as annoying as the lint sticking to the outside of it.

I have one and have to say the biggest issue is the bulk.
It pops into and out of the holster so simply it's disgusting....dunno why you had problems there ?
If you spend a few moments and make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the soft rubber/silicone outer shell is on properly it is not loose in the slightest. It is in fact quite snug. It's a bit trying to get it on perfect, but it's time well spent..
My complaint about it is when you use the holster as a vertical stand and have the phone facing outwards with the charger cable plugged in...the little flap that covers the charge port is not quite in the correct spot (you'd have to try it and see it for yourself, very difficult to explain).
The holster snap/clasp thing is in the way of that formentioned flap.
Not a deal breaker....I will be keeping the otterpop.
editater>
BTW, it's a holster made to go on your belt or the waist of your trousers....why are you concerned with lint sticking to it when it should never see any lint if used in the fashion it's intended for ?
Well after a little time I figured out why it WAS loose and had went on WAY too easy.......you see I live in a desert.....and it's summer AND my case had gotten stuffed in my mail box for oh at least a few hours before I got home and went to put it on. Now after both it and I have cooled off and had a kick a$$ nap, it fits quite well. Since it's little baking in the desert episode it may never be as tight as it would have been but it is very snug over all and no longer has any gaps or bulges.
As for the holster.....maybe it is because I am left handed or maybe mine it's just extra tight in the holster, but it is a chore to get outso I put it in my pocket.I may try to work with the holster some but together with case and holster it's pretty dang big. I will use the holster on a limited basis more then likely.
***EDIT***
Since I don't really care for the holster I still feel I over paid, but since the soft cover fits better now I don't feel I over paid quite as much.

Personally speaking, I wouldn't use the Defender for day-to-day protection. There are many other options available which offer less bulk and less lint-grabbing.
The Defender is perfect for rough users such as construction workers, farmers, soldiers, truck drivers, etc. The Defender has protected my MoPho twice already while on duty. Both were scenarios where I feel a 'lesser' case may have allowed damage to the device.
$30 is nearly a third of the cost of replacement under insurance. It is a tad on the expensive side. However, I think this is the very best level of personal device protection short of encasing it in a brick of silicon gel.
Compared to the defender I had on my evo the photon defender is perfectly tight. I went straight to radio shack and bought the defender after I bought my photon at sprint 3 days ago and I've only taken it off once to install my new sd card yesterday. As far as it sitting in the holster just make sure you push the rubber in all around the mounting clips on the sides. If they stick up a little it won't secure correctly. I've used defender cases before so I knew what I was getting but I must say this one is very well built.
The only thing that I don't like about the defender cases is that the screen protector just seems to take away from the beauty of device screens. I had my evo in a defender case for a week. I took it out one day and once I saw the screen again I was floored to how much I was missing by having the defender plastic over it!
And boom goes the Shooter
I've had the defender for 3 weeks now and I love it but it isn't for everyone. If you want a somewhat rugged smartphone that can take a few drops there are plenty of cases for you to choose from. If you want a case that protect your phone from falling out of a speeding vehicle then you want the defender, I should know i accidentally left my phone on top of my vehicle when driving away one late night.
It is bulky but that is fine, I don't want a sleek phone that breaks. This thing is like a brick. If you are playing around with the software and usually bork your phone you may want an easier to remove case. I hate doing battery pulls because it takes too long to remove this case and you end up with too many parts in your hands. This case is my insurance policy. Its a great case for people who play hard with their phones. The commuter case is a great case too but you have to match the case to your lifestyle. For me, I wont buy a phone that doesn't have a defender case.
In my experience the phone does not move around inside this case. It stays locked tight in its plastic shell. The rubber can be stretched easily but it is form fitting to the plastic shell and has just enough play to make it comfortable to remove. You have to tuck the rubber in all around the phone, as well as on the sides and on the back near the kickstand. Failure to do so will cause it to shift around but if you properly put this case together it shouldn't move at all. If it does then you may want to call Otterbox.
Now the defender series comes with the adjustable holster. If you do not use a holster then you may want a commuter series case. This thing isn't too easy to get in and out of your pocket since the rubber does grip well to cotton pockets. I use the holster about half the time and keep this thing in my pocket the other half. I'm okay with this but if you wear really tight skinny jeans you'll probably hate this case. So if you don't use holsters or you wear skin tight pants then you should get something else.
The screen protector causes glare and degrades the visual quality of the screen. The camera lens also has a protector over it which I find does degrade the camera quality if it is not properly cleaned. I don't find this to be a deal breaker because I could easily remove that piece of protective plastic. If anything I wish it was removable and replaceable out of the box.
Its a great case that can take a ton of abuse and leave your phone looking brand new.

I cringe at your use of this term!
Car Dock & case.
Is the Defender series compatible with the Car dock? If not how easy is it to remove.
I never tested it on the car dock but I can guarantee you it does not work with the HD Dock. While it is not too difficult, you don't want to disassemble this case on the regular. Reassembly is a *****.

No, I can tell you it's not compatible....I have the Commuter and it doesn't even work in the Car Dock.
I was hoping that by taking off the outer rubber shell of the defender series, that maybe the hard cover would still fit in the car dock. I'll let you know in a few weeks when everything finally arrives in the mail.
Yeah, let us know.....I even bought a cheapo $5 case (the thin plastic ones) just to try it.....nope!! Wouldn't work.
Yeah this case is still a lint magnet even without putting in my pocket and now I have some dust between protective screen and the actual screen.....of course some compressed air took care of it but I had to open it for that. I also worry a bit about heat while tethering. Not that it gets anywhere near as hot as my htc hero did (could fry an egg on it) but if it got warm enough to feel trough hard case AND the soft rubber it must have been pretty warm inside (does it get hotter doing wifi tether as opposed to usb & which uses more battery).

Does anyone know what the difference is between the $50 Defender (Revision A) and the first revision that other sites (other than otterbox.com) sell? The difference in the model # is the letter A at the end.
Can someone post pictures of this case on their phone? I have always bought otterbox defenders but im debating if i should buy another after a bad experience with the one for the Evo 4g.

I don't think a picture will do it any justice. It is one of those things you are really going to want to see and touch in person to decide if you like it or not. I like mine, lint magnet and all because it makes me feel my Photon its safe and for that I am willing to live with the trade off of some lint and a little extra bulk. Of course every time I take off the case to clean it I remember just how sexy a naked Photon is and I consider slapping on an invisashield screen protector and going naked.

I just received my otter box defender in the mail today. I bought mine at amazon for $27 + $5 S&H. The case appears to be genuinely an otter box. The box it came in was damaged and opened, but the case itself is fine. My guess is that the amazon ones are cheaper because they are in damaged boxes.
As far as I'm concerned though I'll take the damaged packaging for the $20 savings.
Bought the Defender last month and was enamored by the fact that i can throw, kick, slam the phone anywhere and it wouldn't get damaged. The only problem was (and this was a big one) that the case is so f***ing huge for regular use! I got fed up of that and exchanged the case for the commuter. SOOO much better for everyday, common hazards.

The question is which otterbox case is the best for the atrix? I want a case and wanna know which is the best before I buy it. I've seen alot of posts on this but I have never seen a poll so I made one. If you dont like otterbox then please post what case you prefer and why? Thanks!
Wtf? Q&A section my boy.
Defender is bulky as hell but I'll throw it at the wall if you ask me too.

I know I'm a dip**** and definetly know better! I am now going to kick my own ass! Mod please move this to q and a or accessories section. thanks!As soon as I seen this post in development I was like wtf I seriously thought I was in accessories section! I can't believe I just did this! Sorry folks!
First off wrong section.
Right now I have the defender and I love it for the most part. I have had the commuter (I hope I am using the right names) and it was good but the silicone got too loose and they sent me the next one up which happens to be the best one they offer. Unfortunately im going to have to get them to send me another silicone part because this one is getting very bad as well. Great case but will need to get used to the warranty process unfortunately.
Oh and fyi I got the first otterbox in July.
Of course you know this is in the wrong section but I think I have to say that before I can reply lol. I am very happy with my Commuter case + Skinomi Techskin screen protector. Yes the rubber section does stretch a bit over time, but nothing too bad, not bad enough to make me want a dif one. And I believe this stretching is due to me removing the case now and then (battery pull or whatever).. I have a buddy with the Defender on his Atrix and he likes it as well. The defender has the hard plastic screen cover/ beltclip that can also be used as a kickstand. The defender is substantially bigger than the Commuter so do not plan on carrying the Defender in your pocket like I do with my Commuter, you will have to clip it hold it or bag it.
I started with the defender, and although I enjoyed tossing it around without worrying about damage, it was wayyy to big for my pocket. After a month I exchanged it for the commuter and I do not regret me decision. The case is fairly slim but sturdy, the back is pretty stylish and it gives the phone a nice weight when holding it.
I had the Defender, I returned it. I had a defender case for my iphone 3gs many moons ago and loved it, but on the atrix there are a few things that annoy me.
1. The screen protector is a nice idea, but as with the 3gs version, it can be annoying if you dislike screen bubbles like many do. I've tried a lot of different things to get rid of them, most work well for a few days, then a bubble appears.
2. Bulky. When the screen is 3.5", a little extra bulk doesn't bother me. When it's a 4.0" screen, it's a little more bothersome.
3. Soft edge of case is loose around the front, often creating a gap.
4. One of the things that annoys me the most is: there's a cover over the hdmi/usb port. It wouldn't be a problem if I had nails, but I tend to keep mine trimmed making it very annoying to open the cover and gain access to the ports.
All of that said, it is still the most protective case I've seen. If you're someone who regularly abuses it, it could be a good choice. On the other hand, if you're someone like me who never drops their phone onto a hard surface, it's a bit much.
Durability...survivability..hands down...the defender is the best..
I don't carry my phone in my pocket..I carry it on my belt and with my job of being in a large hospital's facilities maintenance job...I need something that can stand up to abuse..
What it's not is something that fits in a shirt pocket..suit pants..or suit coat well...
The case is a rugged as what you can get and still be small enough to hold and use properly...The screen protector works well with it..and allows good touch capabilities with the phone...The access ports are good..and the controls are easily worked..
The holder is adjustable and holds the phone well against your side..It locks the phone in well enough you don't have to worry about accidentally having it pop out with jumping hard..or banging it against something..
Which is best...for you...will entirely depend on what you want and need a protective case for..
I for one would rather be not as stylish and not worry about my investment getting damaged...I can't say how you are about these things...
I got mine at the At&T store the day I bought my phone...

I had the Defender, but like naxir I didn't like the lose silicone around the edges. Got the Ballistic HC case and so far love it. You can also use it without the outer silicone bumper to make it slightly more pocket friendly. Without the outer bumper you don't have to worry about the port covers as they are part of it. I've never even seen the other Otterbox cases for the Atrix, so I can't comment on them.
I have the Commuter. Great case, great quality, a bit less bulky than the Defender, but offers more than enough protection. I suggest you buy a screen shield, too.
You can't go wrong with a TPU case.
I usually never had a problem with them, its usually what I buy when I upgrade. But now after taking it off. I really dislike it. That soft shock absorber thing that the phone rests on apparently melts to the phone if it gets too hot. Which it does frequently. I had to peel my phone out of the case and on the back was all the stickey residue covering the back of the phone. A pain to clean. Any recommendations for a case that protects, looks better, and doesn't melt?

Spigen slim armour is a decent case. It's not too big in your pocket, doesn't stick, and has 2 piece construction for decent shock absorption.
Ah, I've seen it. Looks pretty nice. Might just say screw it and go with zerolemon lol
Great case, but too dang bulky, i love my spigen case

I have always wondered why I dont see more people using body glove cases, I have been using them for years, they are slim, look good, good quality, protect the phone well and the price is good, there are alot of other good cases out there but I found the body glove case is just as good and runs about $15, alot less then most other good cases....otter boxes suck, they are bulky as hell and never liked them, I had one a few years ago on a phone and got rid of it, my work gives me an I-phone to use and aside from the phone being a piece of s**t they make me keep an otter box on it, it makes the phone even more of a piece of s**t, LOL.....
Hahaha yeah I feel it. I took mine off my of DNA cause it just felt ****ty and I ended up shattering that phone but I have it on the g3 only because I don't wanna destroy this. I rarely drop my phones too but it only takes that one unlucky time. I shall buy dis new case
I had this case for a while and liked it...http://www.bestbuy.com/site/platinu...lack/7251018.p?id=1219260610755&skuId=7251018
I've now got the spigen slim armor and overall I like it....however the slicker back makes it not sit still when laid flat on a table or something, and the volume cutout sucks imho. But other than that a solid choice.
I picked up the Body Glove Rise case today at Walmart. I had a Body Glove on my last phone (RAZR HD) and it worked well. Dropped the phone (RAZR that is) once or twice and no damage or anything to the phone. One drop was face down and the bezel protection really did it's job. Overall, I like this case as it doesn't add much bulk at all so it still fits in my pocket comfortably. Haven't dropped the G3 yet and hopefully, never will, but this case gives me a sense of protection that I didn't have when the phone was naked. Doesn't mean I'll be less careful with it. On the contrary, I'll still continue to be cognizant of maintaining a firm grip on the phone at all times, but at least I have a better chance of the phone surviving a drop with the case than without it.
It looks nice too and now I feel like I have a better grip on the phone.
Which case did you get, the defender or the symmetry? I got the defender, and yeah, great protection, but makes the phone way too big. I was wondering if the symmetry was a little less cumbersome.
I've used otterbox commuter cases in the past and loved them, but this phone is so damn big already, I'm looking for recommendations myself.

I usually never had a problem with them, its usually what I buy when I upgrade. But now after taking it off. I really dislike it. That soft shock absorber thing that the phone rests on apparently melts to the phone if it gets too hot. Which it does frequently. I had to peel my phone out of the case and on the back was all the stickey residue covering the back of the phone. A pain to clean. Any recommendations for a case that protects, looks better, and doesn't melt?

I went from the defender to the Seidio Dilex case/holster combo. Great made case!
Sent from my LG G3
My son had his LG g3 in the OtterBox for some time, I took it out of the OtterBox to put a QI receiver on the back to surprise him for Christmas by having his phone on a QI charger when he woke up. The edges all the way around the phone or severely scuffed for the inside of that case. Not the front or the back, just the edges. He's not using that case anymore.
This is the one I'm using, similar to the OtterBox, but much nicer.

I have had many cases on the g3, from Incipo, spigen, off brand cheapos and now the Defender from Otterbox. It definitely adds bulk, but by far the most protection. I feel better now, peace of mind I suppose.
Loved the slim armor spigen, but it scratches like crazy!
The Spigen Slim Armor is nice, but mine has issues with popping out of the corners sometimes. Theres a case called the Hyperion thats nice too. Dual layer but just not as protective
Anybody have anything to report on the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro cases?

Well I just bought the blue Otterbox Defender for my new G3 and I like it so far. I just wish the rubber outer layer was the soft silicone rubber instead of the harder rubber but it'll do.
