I got the trident aegis series case and its pretty awesome. Not too bulky and feels really nice in your hand. Definitely high quality and really sturdy. It even comes with a screen protector.

I'm personally going for the SView case. It doesn't offer any other protection besides covering the screen since it's a flip cover. I'm usually good with my devices so I don't see it being a issue.
One thing that has sold me on it is the ability to check notifications while the cover is closed. If anyone hasn't seen this case I'd definitely recommend it if your careful with your devices.

Be careful, reviews for it were terrible.

Yeah they haven't been the greatest but it's worth a try for me. If I dislike it I'll probably end up getting a Otterbox commuter case.

Anyone have a simple way to prevent the sides of the battery door from squeaking? Mostly on the left side. Anyone else have this issue? Happens on my oem extended and oem standard door. Thanks in advance.

I had the same case and holster for the stock battery from verizon and quit using it after my phone slid out and hit the floor 5 times...
Went back to a leather case that you put the phone in (with belt clip).
perhaps a tad of electrical grease?...

If its the same thing that's happening to me then its not so much a squeak as it is feeling like its not completely on right.

I had that case and mine has always been tight. Had to really try and get it out to answer. I have 3 extras back from cpo they sent.
Well, my first drop on my week old phone was apparently enough to "almost" completely kill it.
Anyway, i'm looking for a new glass screen for it. I found some on eBay but they only have the international Galaxy Note glass panel. Does anyone know where i could get the glass for the i717?

No, I prefer to run my phones bare. Never had a drop quite this bad.
It was from a good 3-4 feet right onto its screen
I suggest waiting a bit more. The phone just got launched so there are not many accessories for it now.
Btw it's good to know that the note really has gorilla glass. Your screen would have died completely if it was a traditional LCD.

I totally agree about the gorilla glass. However I feel that the size of the note leads to more flex in its chassis.
The glass is only 15 bucks for the international note, hopefully they get one for ours.
Sorry to hear about your disaster . Hope a screen shows up soon.

Makes me glad I ordered a case even more now.

I wish that was a wallpaper with dark marks making it look like broken glass, but alas it's not... It's real sad, but that could easily been prevented by putting a case. But i don't blame you at the same time because it his a lot more nicer without a case...

Just did a quick search for a new case. This caught my attention and thought I'd share. Going to order this when I get back from Hawaii.

Sickest case I've seen for this phone yet
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
I have a case very similar to this one, and am very happy with it. The only difference I can see between mine and this one is around the camera and flash, mine is more open showing the trim around them where this one is just open around the lens and flash. the back is a hard plastic, and the sides are the TPU material. It fits VERY well.
Is it a BoxWave? Early BoxWave Amaze Cases didn't appeal to me. This one is well built/molded. Can't wait to get back from vacation so I can get this.
Plus I think this case would look really nice with my white cover.

What case do you have and where did you get it? I just got a good deal on a d30 band for my amaze, but it is literally the worst case I've ever used. NONE of the buttons on the case work and it slips off the edge of the phone.

This is the one I have. There are a couple of different colors on eBay from the same seller as well, including one with a smoke colored back with the black TPU sides.

Ok... after having a tpu cover for several months i finally took it off and gone nekked.. it's my day 2 and boy it sure does feel pretty good in the hand and i'm loving the fact that i can always glance at it and admire its build quality and the overall looks of it. Although don't get me wrong...even though covers serves your cell extra protection from slippage, nicks etc it still won't prevent it from damages like scratchess and i'm just not a fan of slight bulkiness. what's your take on this???

this is what i have on full body cover http://www.ebay.com/itm/180800325521?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
cheap , one of the best in market , easy to install
I have a tpu case myself and as much of a keep it bare kind of guy HTC did a stupid thing with making the touch screen higher than the body itself. But the tpu case I'm a fan.
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!
I have a TPU cover with translucent back that shows the rear and HTC logo. I mostly have it on for work and when working out. I go naked whenever I go to restaurants or out in public and just slip it in its Nexus One like "Andy" pouch.

Just wanted to throw out there that this case fits well and seems to be pretty high quality. I like the extra grip on the sides and it isn't bulky. It's a thin cases about like a tpu or silicone, but made from stiffer material, snaps on pretty snuggly. Anyway, with the very small selection out there, just wanted to mention that this case is decent if you want something small and it does still work on the wireless charger.
I got mine at Amazon because it was cheaper $15-$16 and had free shipping. But their picture doesn't offer much detail.

Thanks for the quick review. I just hesitantly ordered one off ebay, but after this and a quick YT video about it, I feel a little better about it.

It does leave a mark. The button on top makes it very easy press the power/lock key, but on the whole makes it easier to press all the external buttons.
This case is excellent. Makes buttons EASY and has nice lip for screen. Very good protection and doesn't add much mass . Seriously I'm very happy....and surprised

case fits and feels great. Only two gripes are as mentioned above the case does leave marks and when texting in landscape mode I tend to hit the power button accidently pretty often. May be just how I place my hands but I find myself hitting it alot
