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.

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?

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.

Yes that is the exact case I have it has been great so far, also if you turn the phone facing the other way the audio jack is mostly uncovered. I think you would still need to cut it out just a little but not near as much.

I've actually found that with this holster if I push the phone up a little bit from the bottom I can use the headphone jack.
The phone would be in the holster WITH the cover closed and basically just not touching the bottom of the holster.
But I don't know if the only reason that works is because I have a bulky (d3o) case.
Other cases or just the bare phone might cause the phone to slide down and sit on the bottom anyway.
Also was just on T-mobiles site and I noticed a D3o pouch as well

Just checked it out after you mentioned it, looks like that holster has d3o technology built in.
However I don't think it would hold the phone with a case on it.

That style is the way I like. I don't like the flap covering up the whole phone.
I recently got the Otterbox Commuter case for my SGS2 and like the fit and feel of it but the rubber attracts alot of lint and dust. It collects around the earpiece and front camera and around all the exposed rubber; it's annoying quite frankly.
Does anyone else have a recommendation for an alternative case. I like how the size isn't crazy thick but that it still gives me good protection. I am outside alot and have 2 young boys. I kind of considered the thicker Wrapsol skin as well, anyone used it? Any help would be great.

hmm those look interesting, have you tried them?
I may have to try out an Aegis, I do like how it doesn't have the part covering the top front of the screen like the Otterbox; I see where they were coming from but I've considered trimming it off. I've been dealing with the lint and such lately, I don't like it but maybe I can convince the wifey to let me try the Trident one out
aside from the lint on the aegis, how does it grip the inside of your pocket when you take it out? is it really grippy like the otterbox is?

I had the Otterbox on my cappy and liked it ok but didn't realy want to spend that much again when I know I will be upgrading every year or so. I did some searching here on XDA when I got the SGS2 and found a link to "Acase" on Amazon. I have no complaints and it was under $10.00 when on sale.

Just finished searching for the Acase on Amazon and I get nothing but iPhone results. Added the SG2 in the search and it returns nothing but battery stuff or some ballistic style case that is just gawd awful.
Would you mind sending or posting a link, I have been looking for a light case for my Sg2 but cannot find anything that I like that will keep it close to its original thinness - dont want to bulk it up by adding a thick case
Thanks in advance

It doesn't, but you can't tell
If he can tell there is no cut out just by looking at some pics, I'm sure staring at your phone w/ this case on it will be very much noticeable.

+1 for the Aegis, I have been using for about 10 days, love it! It does collect some lint in my pocket, and since I am a landscaper, some grass too! Not a big deal to just rinse it off and let air dry and put back on. The reason I went with the Aegis, is because it has a screen over the speaker phone, unlike the otter box, I did just order the otter box to compare, Ill let you know, but now I am looking at the Acase. The screen protector that comes with the Aegis is pretty weak though, not sure what to do about that, I hate the orange peel, Invisashield.
-nevermind the Acase, doesn't cover port and plugs a must have for me!
You are right no covers for phone jack or usb and the mic hole is off a bit but I just made a new hole with a drill bit. works great

Cool, just when I thought I was gonna buy a case, I see this I had actually been looking at some metallic brushed alum or diamond plate look, but it was overwhelming on the whole phone (didnt buy it just mocked one up). Even on just half it didnt look right, but I like this Just wondering, it says this is a snap on. Everyone seems to have less positive things to say about plastic cases scratching corners etc. Curious if theres any lining or anything, gonna email them. Thanks to u both

I really like the case, its about the same thickness of my platinum series or "seido" case. It's very lightweight with the phone in the case. I like the design a lot and it fits nice in my hand. It doesn't really feel like rubber but more like plastic, although it IS in fact rubber. The leather and stitching is on point, it gives it a nice look and feel. The side treads? Gives the user a good grip. Ive seen a lot of reviews saying it is hard to put the case on, but for me it wasn't even close to.being difficult. For $5 its a steal. High quality case seems like it'll be able to go through many drops without any problems. One more thing it hugs the phone very snug so you can rest assure that the phone won't pop out and it will stay protected. Here's pictures:
The buttons on the sides arent bad btw. The case does not affect my screen protector (rise along the edges or corner). Heres the inside of the case:
