What are some of the better cases for the Photon? I'm sure the question has been asked but I'm trying to get my ten posts to ask my real question.

I have an otter box commuter and can't complain. Case works well and they have good customer service.
I've owned an otterbox commuter and its just too bulky. I refuse to take off my TPU case I got from amazon for 8 bucks. The best form fitting case I've found and when combined with a screen protector its amazing. Search Amazon for TPU case if you're a pocket man.
I use this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Black-H...ccessories&hash=item4cfc066df4#ht_1368wt_1135
good enough for me
I like the TPU cases but I find myself always taking off my cases no matter which phone I had.
I have the defender but I stopped using it but now I want the commuter but I doubt I'd use it for long lol
I use the commuter and it fits in my pocket just fine.

Thanks for some of the ideas. I have used the TPU case for my Atrix and was happy with that. Need to find the Commuter case and check that one out.

Amazon sells it for 17 bucks. Its OK but as with otter the skin typically gets saggy after a while.
My concern with the otterbox cases has been the amount of lint they attract. They are like magnets for the stuff.

I was just wondering if there were any cases that you guys recommend for the X2. I bought one recently and it added too much bulk for my liking -.-. Do you guys know of any cases that are nice and super slim?? Maximum protection is not necessary, just enough to get by. Thanks!
I have the Rocketfish case from BestBuy. It's pretty light, and adds hardly any bulk. It's made out of study plastic. The thing I like about it, is that it's fairly cheap and comes in flat black. Can't stand glossy black cases, they look tacky/cheap to me.
Here some pics: http://imgur.com/a/jeMkw#DoLMG Sorry for bad quality, but had to use my Transformer's camera, since my point-and-shoot is dead.
I like the feel of the boby glove case on my x2. Its $10.50 at amazon. Verizon twice that.

I'm thinking about dropping my otterbox defender case for the ghost armor.
I use the OtterBox Commuter case for my X2 and ended up cutting off the flaps that cover the ports because they were just annoying. Other than that, it's an excellent case and fits perfectly! You can find them for $20 on the internet if you look around.
Thanks guys you've given me a lot of choices lol. I think I'm going to check out the Rocketfish and Body Glove cases. I also had a question about the ghost armor case; is it anything like the invisishield? Because I don't like the way that feels...
Check out the Incipio Step. Its a hybrid TPU/hardshell designed for the X2. Pretty much everything else I've found is an X hand-me-down.

Anyone have a recommendation for a case that comes with or has an available holster? And no to the Otterbox Defender... the holster is very poorly designed. Had one for the Charge, dropped it several times trying to reholster the phone.
sorry about that. My experience with the Otterbox has been excellent, I think the trident has something, but id look at the reviews on it before i pulled the trigger
Also have u guys seen this?

I have one and am quite happy with it. I did cut off the flaps covering the USB and headphone jacks as they drove me nuts.
just got mine, they have a new version with the flaps and holes in the right place. its perfect for me- not too much extra bulk, but lots of protection
Cool. Plan to order one. Thanks for your insights.

no problem. also nice that it comes with an OK screen protector, although I'll probably put a Zagg on mine anyway
Does anyone know of a holster that would work with this? I'm really a big fan of the protective covers over the ports as I work in a pretty dusty environment. I have a Seidio surface case and holsterthat I'm currently using, but it has no protection for the ports whatsoever.

I got my Commuter in today and I really like it. It's much sleeker than the Casemate Pop I bought when I got the phone (although I like the Pop, don't get me wrong).
I had Commuters on my 3GS and have one on my 4S as well, so I'm not new to this case, only new to the SGSII version. I like how it flows with the back of the phone (makes pulling it out of my pocket easier since the "hump" at the bottom is still there). I also like how it covers the top of the face...the iPhone version doesn't have that and I like the protection. And it works great with my cheap screen protector (although I'll probably put the Otterbox screen protector that came with it on).
This is definitely a great case for the SGSII since it's highly protective and doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all. The one reason I always go with the Commuter for my phones is the built-in port covers and these don't disappoint.
Highly recommended!
Got my Otterbox Commuter today in the mail as well. Loved it on my Captivate and love in on my SGSII. My favorite case by far.
Getting a ZAGG today as well. Love them too.

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
Got mine from:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120823457759?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Got it in 4 days.
I'm liking mine. The only gripe I have is that the rubber makes it not slide in and out of a front jeans pocket as easy, kinda sticks to the pocket material.
I just got mine. Seems nice except for the top rubber part doesn't lie flush on the phone. It's like the case is ever slightly too tall or too wide, and it could have been avoided if it were designed be symmetrical instead of having the extra material on the top of the phone.
For clarity, this is what I'm talking about: youtube.com/watch?v=KwNISYXJ3QI&t=3m49s
Kind of a bummer, but I doubt most people will care.
I just wish it had a holster like the defenders do. I love otterbox cases.
Looking for a slim case. I basically only want protection for scratches when laying on desks. I don't worry about dropping it.
My phone came with an otterbox defender series. It looked massive in the box and i'm sure it works well, but i hate cases to begin with and it never left the box.
So what is the slimmest case anyone has heard of?
I picked up one for $12 at those mall stands. Its super slim hard plastic snap on with a good feel to it. Its the thinnest one I've found.

I've had a lot of phone cases over the years, and I've only ever been a repeat customer of Seidio. Their Active case kept my Eco safe until I got my Razr, which looks rather dashing in a black and red Active case.
About $27 dollars on Amazon.

I bought the Incipio direct from their site. It is a great case, I bought it from day 1 with my Razr. Till now I had about 5-6 very bad hits as I dropped my phone and let me tell you guys nothing just nothing happened to my phone or even to the case. It came with a screen protector and its build is really strong and good.
this one slimmest ，i am currently using.

Razr Maxx?
Can anyone verify that these cases also work with a Razr Maxx? I know it's a bit thicker so I figured I'd ask the experts before I tried to order.
Thank you!

Not sure, but doubt it. The maxx is thicker so I would assume you would not get a solid fit.

I have this case and I've got to say that I feel it makes the note too bulky. It certainly adds as much protection as you would ever need although. And maybe I'm doing something wrong but when i take it off, I feel like I am going to break my phone in half. Its very hard to take off which I do often for battery pulls. Ya know?
Anyways. Just ordered some "slim" case off amazon one of the top rated ones. Should be here in a bit and I'll try that one out.

Ballistic cases in my opinion are the BEST out there! Period. The have a bit of bulkiness due to the amount of protection they provide, but still feel nice in your hand. Coming soon I hope!

If you want a case close to otterbox quality, then get a Reiko case off Ebay. It 10 buck cheaper, but feel like 35.

Check the Amazon website. They have a lot of cases and/or holsters for good prices.
I would recommend the Otter box commuter case, not to bulky has a nice feel and most important protects the phone just fine!!
Sounds like you want minimalistic. Go get a Cruzerlite TPU case on Amazon. Like $10, and way less bulky than the Otterbox cases. Trust me on this one, you'll love it. There's a thread on it in the Accessories Forum with pics.

I just recently compared my phone with this case with someone who has the same phone in a Commuter case, and he was quite impressed by the much less bulky case I had, and is likely going to buy one to replace his Commuter. Cheaper, thinner, lighter, more stylish.

I'd say this is the case judging by the OP. Commuter wouldn't necessarily be as good for grip.
As always, I'll put in a plug for the Diztronics Matte Back TPU case.

I used the casemate barely there case on my OG EVO for a while, and while I liked the case, it scratched the **** out of the sides of my phone. If the design is similar, I would stay away.

My wife and I bought the $1.99 (black) & $2.99 (pink) cases from Amazon. They're just as good as the $25 HTC cases we had for our OG EVOs.
Even if you're super tough on the phone and case, you could still buy a few of them for less than most other cases.
