Does anyone know of a case that fits both the nav dock and desktop dock without the need to remove the case? I see the docks come with an adaptor plate that is used with cases, but which cases work? Want a good case that doesn't add too much bulk to carry in pocket and maybe on belt but also goes in docks.
Thanks
You would need either a thin, silicone case, one of the invisible shield-type skins, or a case that doesn't have anything near the ports on top of the phone.
I tried the Otterbox commuter case (the thinner of the two) with an HD station in the Verizon store here. Removing the insert on the dock allowed the ports to line up properly, but the male connectors were not long enough to make proper contact. Removing the plastic, outer case may have helped here, but not by much.
Have you tested it with one of the silicone cases?
I have both the Mobi hard shell and the Otterbox commuter cases. The otterbox fit really snug in the travel dock and charges fine. The 2piece mobi hard shell case fits the travel dock a little loose but works fine also.
My friend has the otterbox commuter case working with the home dock. He said he had to remove a very little amount of plastic from the dock with a hand file.
I have the incipio two-piece case (hard/soft shell combo) that fits very well.

/me is happy now and it has been my experience trying out phone protectors at the Sprint store that none of the cases fit into it.
Are there any nice cases that will fit in the car mount?
P.s. I know that the insert pulls out.
the two piece snap together cases fit, the bodyglove cases are slightely too big and they wont stay in the charge position.
the igrip car dock dash mount sucks it wobbles too much and doesn't have an adjustment knob at the neck like the pictures show.
I have had good luck with the hard plastic cases as well as the TPU cases. I even got my OB commuter to work with some mods.

I just got mine in today and I have the tpu hybrid case. can't get it to fit! I feel screwed by buying this. I would hate to have to take my case off each time to use the igrip
Edit: nm I removed a piece that allowed my case to fit
I have the igrip car dock and use a tpu-cases.com case and it fits perfectly. IMO, the tpu-cases brand fit great with fast free shipping. The tpu hybrid that you have is not the same as the tpu-cases. Hope this helps.

Love the tpu-cases. And they fit perfectly after removing the igrip insert. Love the combo!
The Body Glove Vibe kickstand case works perfectly with the iGrip. Great combo. I have gotten over the purple color. Chicks seem to dig it.
Works great with all 6 of my tpu cases

The fit is incredible on the Platinum or Seidio case with the kickstand. I can confirm that this combo will be what I stay with on this phone for sure.
I had the iGrip PerfectFit charging dock. I tried to fit it with my Seidio Surface case with no avail, neither fits not close to touch the microUSB attachment. It's going back to the online store for a refund. Bummer.
I guess I have to wait for Seidio to come out an equivalent car mount as for the EVO 4G with Surface case. That mount from Germany is sick!
Barely There fits great.

Yup, I tried all the cases my Sprint store had and it didn't fit despite removing the insert.

Can someone confirm the Seidio Surface case does work with the iGrip? I think I saw both a yes and a no in this thread.
Is the Platinum case at BestBuy just a rebranded Seidio Surface? Looks like it.
TIA!
I've got an evo 3d with a tpu case and am looking for a dock that it would fit in so I can dock it while I'm at work.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
Already a few threads on this. With that said I have the exomount universal mount and its great 20$ on Amazon and it sticks really well the grip is strong and sized well enough I can miss both the volume and camera buttons I've used it with no case ballistic soft gel and the platinum cases all with no problem.

So you use a car mount at work? It sticks to your desk pretty good? The desks in my office would not allow a suction cup to stick. I'm about ready to make my own to work with a tpu.
I have the Ebay dock with a spot in the back for an extra better. Queue great with many thin cases. Tpu, Otterbox commuter, Seidio Surface, Otterbox Impact, etc. I have 0 complaints and I've had it since just after the Evo 3D launch

igrip works with tpu and hard case. i have it and its awesome.
I'm using a spider podium at work. I wanted a dock that I could use in portrait mode - and the spider podium works great once I got it shaped the right way. It's sturdy enough that I can use my phone and swipe as usual.
I'm surprised no one's made a dock that could be used in both portrait and landscape mode. It would just need L-shaped material - with the phone dropped in in landscape, then rotated as needed. It would seem an easy enough feature to add.

I prefer belt clips that have a J type of design so that if anything hits the case from underneath, the case cannot slip off the belt. The bottom of the clip catches the belt on the way up. Most tight metal belt clips will slide up if for example, you sit in a tight movie seat and the seat arm pushes up on the bottom of the case and knocks the case off your belt.
Does the PDAir clip on this case have a way of stopping this scenario?
Hmm... I have always liked belt clips/cases but I think the Note is too big to be dangling from my waist. I'd like to order one just to try it out though.
I bought a Nite Ize xlarge belt case with a clip off amazon. It should be here today. The note should fit and may be a snug fit. I has on of these for my Inspire and liked it.
Still waiting for the Nutshell/Tough-as-Nuts case to be released but I'm definitely getting one. They'll even make it oversized for a small upcharge if you want it to fit an add-on shell.

I just bought the Mobo Carrera slim Horizontal case (for the Galaxy Nexus) and I have to say that I'm very happy with it. It fits the LTEvo nice and snug. The phone doesn't budge at all, especially when shaken vigorously. Also magnet doesn't come off when turned upside and shaken hard. The case is nice and slim to complement the slimness of the LTEvo. The interior is outlined in red leather (sort of complements the phone as well). The belt clip is made of metal (but covered in leather) and swivels but the swivel is rigid and doesn't move with little force with is good to me; stays in the position it is set to. Has the opening at the bottom to allow you to push the phone up to easily remove it.
If you are interested in a horizontal case, then this might be the one for you. Just google Mobo Carrera Horizontal case Galaxy Nexus; amazon has it here Mobo Carrera Horizontal Carrying Case. Other site sell it as well.
I bought 2 more slim cases and I'll write about them here as well when they come in this coming week.

Well I didn't keep the other two cases. One was too big for the LTEvo that the phone flopped around in the case. That was a killer for me, so I didn't even bother to give it another thought.
The other one is the one pictured below. It was a case for the Galaxy Nexus so it didn't really fit all that well. Don't get me wrong the case was well designed but the dimensions were just short of fitting the LTEvo. The LTEvo was hanging out of the case. If they make one specifically for the LTEvo, it would be worth investing in it.

If you don't mind my asking, what cases were the ones that were too big? Also do you think they'd fit the Evo with a silicone or TPU case on? Thanks!
Ditto to the above I like a gorm fitting holster but I never go out without a case. For work I use the Otterbox commuter with the seido active holster but for regular use, I use a thin TPU case. I have yet to find a holster that is thin and long enough to fit the phone with a TPU case.
Any suggestions?

I bought my dad a side clip holster from siedioonline and he was ecstatic with it.
Even I loved it, and I really dislike holsters in general.
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 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

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...

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.
---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------
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.
