Otterbox Commuter case for non-US HD2 now available! - HD2 Accessories

Otterbox are now listing a Commuter case for Euro spec HD2 on their website
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-cases/htc-hd2-cases/htc-hd2-commuter-series-case-international/
Been waiting for months for this, just ordered one at $48 incl priority international shipping. I'll let you know what it's like when it arrives!
Updated 27/5 10.42GMT
Well, ordered it on Tuesday and it arrived by FedEx this morning in Yorkshire - that is bloody quick! It is now fitted and looks every bit as good as the pictures.
Basically it is a three piece kit:
Part 1 - Excellent quality screen protector (but why oh why can I never get one on without one piece of dust stuck under it!)
Part 2 - Heavy duty silicone inner skin - this has the nice hard key cover, volume key cover and usb/jack cover and fits beautifully
Part 3 - High impact outer cover - clips in place over the silicone skin in the same way as your HD2 battery cover clips on to the phone.
To answer any concers about how easy it would be to do a soft reset if your phone has completely frozen I have just timed how long it takes to remove the case and it took under 7 seconds! Basically you just press the case backwards off the phone using your thumbs on the top wraparound section of the outer case and the phone pops straight out of outer and inner skins in one go. It took nearly as long to push it out of the Krussell case I had it in before!
The hardware keys all function perfectly through the silicone over-buttons, although it takes a few presses to get used to the different feel of using the buttons and you may have to press very slightly harder (although I may just be imagining that!).
The camera lense, speaker and flash are very well protected by the ridge feature on the hard skin.
My only concern is how much screen protection it will offer. The case does sit about 1.5mm proud of the screen all round so as far as falling on flat surfaces go it will be fine, but if anything protrudes into the screen area it won't really help. That said I am very happy with it.
Overall this is by far the best quality protection I have seen for the HD2 and well worth the $34. The design, finish and functionality is superb and the materials are top quality (it feels great in your hand). Now if only they did a belt clip for it like their iPhone cases...
AND NOW THEY DO! Having only had my Commuter case for a couple of weeks, and only having bought it because their customer service guy told me they had no info on a forthcoming Defender case for the HD2 they have now released it (for non-US for now) - AAAARGH! So I've just spent another $65 including shipping to get one. With any luck it will be here by the weekend and I'll post a review of it too!
DEFENDER CASE REVIEW IN THIS POST - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6772033&postcount=46

Oh crap... you just put my hopes up. I thought it would be an otterbox case I could use on the motorcycle, but it's not waterproof.
Does such a thing even exist?

Looks nice waiting for your review

I'd imagine you'd just remove the case and do it as normal or once it's on is it difficult to get back off? It's hard to tell from the pictures.
I'm waiting for the review before I get one though.
Would be interesting to know how hot the phone gets when charging with this thing on too.

it's an option when phone is not totally dead, but what if it's not responding to anything?
I'm afraid there is a possibility to scratch the corners when putting on and taking off this case

I can confirm, because I have this issue with my Capdase Alumor on my HD2. If I need to reboot, I have to remove the case, and it's not a pleasure party....
Fortunately, I never scratch the screen, but the silicone case corner did suffer a little.

you know you guys can search these forums and find a soft reset shortcut.
All I do is swipe up on my home tab and select the icon (it is installed automatically and all you have to do is make it a quicklink). It's in cab form so you can uninstall. I got it recently, but I do not know where.

we know that, but what if the phone is not responding to any of your actions? and this happens somtimes and the only way to reset is to push the red button.

Review now in first post

Great review Dunc001!
I just have one question. Do you notice if the phone gets excessively hot while charging with the case on? I have mine on charge throughout the day a lot as I use it as my mp3 player in the office and I've noticed that the phone plays up when it gets too hot and often requires a soft reset.

looks damn good. nice find. could You tell us what was total price in pounds? (including postage)

Real photos, please

Real photos, please [+1]
I just ordered mine! It is expected to arrive may 28.
As soon I put my hands on it I will write something and maybe take some pictures

Updated: AT&T Gel Case, Body Glove Pattern Soft Shell Case

This isn't the case for someone who doesn't want to modify it...
Problem:
The case covers the power, shutter and volume buttons. The case does not allow enough room between the button and case.
Result:
Power button and shutter buttons are pressed under the case and often results in powering off.
Solution:
Different case or Dremel your gel case to open up holes This will make it so your finger has to actually work a tiny amount into the case. Accidental presses are gone for me now.
Mod for yourself if you have the tools:
Dremel with a pointy sanding bit.

Dremel with a pointy sanding bit. Without piercing the case, grind off excess case material to allow for more headroom.

Confirmed! Total POS.
I saw the cases at the store and didn't like them. Hopefully some good ones come out.
Agreed! Totally useless. Looks awesome but too tight on my phone and powers it off. Returning mine now. Going to get the silver hard one. Will let you know.
Yeah they almost talked me into it but I was strong. Thanks for the info; glad I didn't get it.
Yeah I made the mistake of buying one of the gel cases... It's HORRIBLE!
I'm going to return it later and buy a amzer case on amazon when I buy my microsd card.

I was going to return mine but a different problem popped up and it made me realize this case could help me.
Lots of people are reporting accidental power button and camera button presses. This case makes it worse. Thus my awful review.
I am a bit lazy though and refused to look online or return the gel case.
I had previously taken a dremel to the inside of the gel case to allow for more clearance. Well it helped but I still was hitting the power button accidentally...
So it made me think of other cases I have had, why not just cut out those button holes?
So here it is, the modified gel case and it is awesome. No more accidental presses and no need to return anything or buy anything extra.
Check out the pic...
I picked up the grey incipio shell case. I like it. I only got it because my gf works at the att store so only got it for $10.
Nice job! I got the same case and already took it off
I simply returned mine
I went back and got the casemate red and black one. Muche better buttons that this POS

I don't understand why they aren't shipping until 12/1. This whole WP7 venture just gets more ridiculous everyday...
i got the red and black case mate...i love how it makes the phone feel sturdier. Added grip comes in handy and the gain in thickness makes me feel like im using a handheld gaming device when playing games.

I had one of those cases and although it was nice, try getting your phone out of it. You almost have to cut the damn thing out.
Weird. I must be the only one who has the case on my phone and it works perfectly. I must be lucky and got one of the Body Glove cases that was made right.
Never had a problem with any of the buttons and I use my phone a lot. I guess if it starts giving me problems, I will have to modify it.
I have the Case Mate Pop, and its an awesome case. Its built like a tank and will have no worries about dropping the phone knowing my phone is well protected. Highly recommended. The Incipio feather case, does not protect it all if you dropped it on its top or bottom, because those areas are not protected it will break or severely scratched up. The Body glove Mirage case is an odd case because you need to mod it, unlike the case for the Captivate. This one does not have the cut outs for the buttons.

whoever is very good on handling with care a dremel, you probably want to just "sand/reduce some of the interal space around the buttons, without creating a whole.
I am not that good, but I was able to do the internal "reduction" in the power button and it works... I messed with the Camera Shutter (My reduction ends in a whole for the shooter). You may like to try reduction first, as te external look of the cover remains.

Would an xacto knife work?
For cutting the hole, yes; but, for reducing from inside, you may like to try better with Sandpaper if you don't have a dremel

I bought the body glove gel case after seeing it on my sister's captivate but didnt expect the buttons to not be cut out. They designed the captivate's so much better.
Thanks for the tip!

Rearth Ringke - Silicone Case for Motorola Motoroi XT720
I just noticed this one while looking at the SGP (Also available in bright purple). It seems to crawl further over the screen and covers/protects some buttons. Anyone know what the big button next to the volume buttons does on the Motoroi?

very nice find
However.... according to the pictures, and my SGP case
it seems to point out the 4 touch buttons will be under the plastic
but never the less, it's a very good alternative, specially the purple colour one

It looks like a voice command button. Whatever it is, it is definitely missing from the XT720

I think that's not too big a problem since the case is silicone, so I suspect you can press the buttons. They seem to thin the case out there so that the lights show through. They do something similar with all the other buttons, too (volume etc). They're covered with a thiner region of silicone. The only holes are the proximity sensors, and where jacks go in (headphones, USB, HDMI, speaker, microphone, strap) and whatever that big button-looking thing is that isn't on our phone. The korean text says "DMB" there which based on some quick googling refers to the Motoroi's TV tuner--it's strange that everything else is covered, so perhaps that's a place you attach an antenna or something. It's interesting. I sort of feel like the silicone coming so close to the edge of the screen might interfere with using the scrollbar depending on how "sticky" the silicone is.
Got mine from Ebay. Very fast Delivery. 7 days from Korea to Singapore.
hey guys,
there's a new case design from SGP, it looks really interesting. have a look here.

how abt org a bulk purchase for SG users...
@Spiderx_mm: look nice
@hermes76: good idea, i can safely say that non of the HP shops here sell case for our phone. The should know that not everyone using I'crap'Phone.
1. count me in
the gap thats ontop of the volume buttons is for the DMB button
aka Digital media broadcast button aka tv button
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Multimedia_Broadcasting
yeap, most Japanese phones and Korean phones have build in TVs
for times cases exactly like what is happening right now in Japan
the TV does not require 3G, it is over the air like good old antennae TV, but it's Digital
Count me in too,if u guys are serious abt ordering the sgp case altogether.
How much did u pay in total?(Including every single cost) in Sing dollars?
For those who wants to order the SGP ultra capsule for Motoroi, better buy the new black leather case also from SGP. The rubber capsule doesn't look and feel as premier as the phone, so you decide.

Total i pay US$39.99 (Case = 19.99 + EMS shipping =20.00) = S$59+ .
Better buy when US$ rate drop.

+1 recommendation
Just thought I would put my 2 cents in, the case is great and fits very well, I got one from korea through ebay and it came with a screen protector which is also really good. Very sturdy best case I have ever had for a phone.
One thing to keep in mind, the extra distance that the usb flap has to travel caused mine to fall off, not really an issue for me as I found it a little annoying but I would still like it to be on my phone if given a choice. Also the phone "feels" a little plasticy once you install it, it is a totally psychological thing but the phone does not feel as elegant once its on.
All in all tops
Oh, so I got this a little bit ago finally after about 5 weeks shipping. The case itself was a good fit for the most part, except for on the side where one part was popping out and not fitting tightly on like the rest of the case. Whether this was something to do with the way the case was packaged/stored or some other reason I don't know. After working with and trying to squeeze that part to fit, it's not as bad -though it still sticks out a bit. Probably will be fully gone once I wrap something around it and leave it on for a good little while (like an elastic wound tightly would probably do it).
Other than that, the case fits well. But the places around openings (i.e. camera button, power button, etc...) seem roughly cut and unpolished, though it isn't a very big deal, just slight quibble (and may just be mine).
The screen protector which comes with it is not as special as advertised I think, but it does the job and has a good smooth feel to it - and cleans more easily, so I like it.
The thing is, while the case looks nice, fits nice etc... the phone just looks and feels so much better without it on (slimmer, sleeker, nicer to hold etc...), so when I don't need the protection I take it off. But definitely a worthwhile purchase nonetheless.
I am getting my xt720 this week and am now looking for a case. i would really like to get a sgp capsule in black, though it seems like they discontinued this colour and now only sell blue and red.
any news on that front?
thx

Wasted cash on Otterbox

I spent 30 bucks on the otterbox for Xperia play
I want my money back now.
It's the biggest load of crap I've seen the company make
Main FLAW
When the phone is close the case actually pushes the screen off the keypad portion of the device.
The reason is because the case has 5 clips on the bottom holding the lower portion on
The clips are so big that when you close the phone it actually causes them to touch each other (the bezel one and lower one)
causing a huge gap inbetween the two parts. Almost enough its scaring me
I took the case off. Not using it now.
The second problem. The L and R buttons do not work
The otterbox company assures you they will work but trust me they dont.
The silicone is very thick and it is not responsive or ductile at all
You cant get it to manipulate to push the buttons unless you have a death grip on the phone.
The volume rocker is EVEN WORSE.
All in all I would rate this case a 2 of 5.
Very dissapointed in Otterbox and probably wont buy any more of their overpriced crap
Especially after my Droid X Otterbox defender broke (holster snapped in half)
I would email them your complaint. I have had 2 otterbox cases before one for Droid 2 and the other my Cperia play. Mine didnt have any issues with pushing the screen, a,thought one of the clips did break. I email them about the broken case and they replied asking me for my name and address and 3 days later I had a free replacement. If you really dont like the case email them and ask for your money back. It doesnt hurt. But to be honest about otterbox their customer service is really good. Not just from me but 2 of my family members.
I did email them today
We will see what happens
I would take a replacement or I would take money back
either way. Aslong as I can use the dang thing
why would you need one when you have the Xperia Play's gamepad?

Trident is the way to go. I bought one and no complaints with the case at all. Gives the power and volume buttons a nice feel to them. I find it easier to use them now with the case.
otterbox is poor
trident aegis the best
bought a £3 gel case from ebay also did the job probably best vfm
I also bought an Otterbox for my Play last year hearing glowing recommendations from here and some other forum.
Used it for a day, did not like it at all. My problem was that it wouldn't stay on - it would pop right off if I put pressure on certain spots (which together cover probably 80% of the case).
I replaced it with some no-name crystal clear hard case from eBay which only cost me something like $6 shipping included. Fits perfectly and stays on, and all the buttons are more accessible than they were on the Otterbox, and does not interfere with the slider or any buttons or the speaker/mic. It is slimmer than the Otterbox and has a smooth finish which helps get it into and out of my pocket more easily. I am very much pleased with this case which was only 1/5th the cost of an Otterbox.
I wanted the otterbox for ny play, but been hearing bad news with r&l buttons.. so i went and got the one from verizon and it loooks sick. It shows off the ericson logo and xperia. Im not downing otter my, friend dropped his iphone 4th floor. The case didnt make it but the iphone like nothing ever happend. I really recomend the verrizon case sleekest case for the play.

You forgot to mention that it's almost impossible to use the face buttons without inadvertently making touch screen selections because they raised the bottom edge and it's too close to the buttons.
Anyway, I filed off some of the clips that weren't needed so I doubt I'm eligible for a refund.
I've just received my otterbox and the back clips just doesn't 'clip'..
I can push at hard as I want and even push them in, they always come back..
Is there any way I can get a refund while I've bought it on ebay (new - sealed)?

M8's case from the package, where to buy?

I got mine from Tmobile, there is no case included in the package, i saw this video and there was a case included. I like it 'coz it has a plug / cover for the usb. Or is there any variant of that?
pretty sure that this case only comes with the international htc ones, so if you are in the United States you will not get it, which is ridiculous
I think it's because we don't the replacement screen in first six months over here, so they give us a free case instead...
Guys, the case delivered with the international version sucks big time. I am using it since release 04.04.14
- It is not close to perfect fit. The handset could come out anytime easily.
- The part for micro-usb and phone jack doesn't close all the way after 3-4 days. I decided to cut that piece to avoid hassle.
- The ruber looks already worn just from putting in my jeans pocket.
Not recommended by any means

Yeah it's not great, definitely not worth paying money for but I'm still glad they included it. I'm still using mine until I can figure out which third party case I want.
Just sold mine on Ebay. Offered to someone on here but the postage to US was around $15 - obviously you can buy a case for that.
On the flip side, had mine since release day and used as a daily driver and not a mark on it.
Aww! I'll pass then

seriously dude, did you have rocks in your pocket or something, or drop it a million times, or leave it on the roof of your car? i find it extremely hard for that to happen to your case from your "jean pockets." not trying to be mean or anything but i think your story about this case is a little farfetched. all the research i've done on this case has been nothing but positive

I dont know, but looks like that one has no port covers
Have to say mine is a week old and hasn't shown any sort of wear as yet, and this is in jeans and my work trousers. Not sure what the hell happened to the other guys case!
anyway, it was free so even if it does start to show wear I'm not that bothered

I have other friends/colleagues, who have the same problem. It is up to you, if you believe or not. I just wanted to warn other users, who wants to pay for this crap.

I'm sorry to disappoint but my case starts wearing off on the edges too. I only wear jeans and not the tightest ones at that. I never dropped my Phone and i do not have a car. Hence i didn't even leave the phone and case in bright sunlight to heat up or something.
Made a picture if mine few days ago. Here it is.
The case was included in the box for me, as a temporary case, it's fine, but I'd strongly suggest buying a different case if you're going to order one.
I, myself, have ordered a Dot View case, but I'd suggest getting a Spigen or something if you're ordering one.
Here's mine, been in use for a since 27/4, I usually take care of my devices so I'm not sure how it was scratched this much, but that shows how scratch prone it is:

Guys, the case delivered with the international version sucks big time. I am using it since release 04.04.14
- It is not close to perfect fit. The handset could come out anytime easily.
- The part for micro-usb and phone jack doesn't close all the way after 3-4 days. I decided to cut that piece to avoid hassle.
- The ruber looks already worn just from putting in my jeans pocket.
Not recommended by any means

I've had mine as long as you have and... what the heck do you do with your device? Either your jeans are too tight and caused all that scuffing or you're doing something else with it because mine looks pretty much the same as it did the day I got it -- and the flap still closes properly.
I've got it on my M8, and its scratched, port covers doesn't close properly, and doesn't slide in and out of pockets very well. Good for a case that comes with the phone but wouldn't recommend buying it if you didn't get it with your phone.

I was rubbing the case against a rock, the only thing i had in mind was to make HTC look bad. You got me, dude! wow...
Anyway, i am using dot view cover now. THAT is indeed something, i can recommend to protect your device. It is a little uncomortable to write with 2 hands though...

Thanks :good: it was 7.99, so I decided to give it a try.
Let's see once it gets home.
I might leave the volume covered and just use software.

It is very loose so watch out with that and the volume button isn't really right on it's place when you put it in the case so watch out with that and don't damage it .
I thought the best solution was to put a peace out of it like I posted.

Yes, I did see the picture you posted, I was thinking about using the dremel and taking out part of it as you did.
I'm really surprised it's loose on the case, I didn't expect a few fractions of a millimeter to make a difference between the Z and Z2!
So It's easy to drop out of case?

Yes it is really loose and if you accidentally flip it a little bit and the downside where it is laying on doesn't hold it it can flip out off it, if you are the only one that uses the tablet then no problem. But also it is a little bit annoying because it slides also to the right and left because it is loose.
I have 2 kids and one wife in house, sometimes the kids brings it to me and my wife when see cleans around see picks it up so I could not take the change to leave it a little bit loose ).
But I like the case in general, the case for tablet Z2 is definitely a nice upgrade but I will wait for it if I can buy for around €15,-

Thanks so much for the information!!!
I'll take all this information into consideration while handling the tablet.
I just might sell covers on eBay if I find them uncomfortable to deal with.
Arrived really good fit
Hello,
Just wanted to report that the cover arrived today.
As indicated by user whatwhatster one of the plastic tabs holding the tablet needs to be shaved down.
However I didn't find the case to be loose, maybe because I only shaved away the smallest portion possible as to not obstruct the volume control, I also left in place the portion that didn't make contact with the volume control underneath it.
I will take some pictures of the case and upload, and in a few days with the tablet in it, I'm waiting for the Skinomi back and front protector to cure, I have many bubbles specially on the back side, and the plastic skin needs to breathe in order to evaporate the water bubules.
Big thanks to whatwhatster for sharing his experience!!!

You know, now that I think about it could be that the Skinomi on the back of the tablet is giving it much more grip than without it.
This might be another reason why is not loose.
Saddly to say, I didn't test without it.
