Does anybody know of a decent hard or soft plastic cover for the Defy that would cover a little of the front (my current one only covers the sides) so that if it lies face down on a table, the screen would not touch the table (there is some protusion in my current one so this may in reality not happen very easily but a better solution would be appreciated for sure)?

what's the point on getting a case for a rugged device?
or maybe i should ask what's the point on getting a rugged device if you plan to buy a case anyway?

That looks very similar to the one I have. I was looking for one where the case would come a few millimeters over the front, not just protude from the side... Due to silly no outside links for new users, I sadly cannot provide an example..

i didnt buy it for the rugged claims all though I quite liked the looks of it. I got it on a bargain contract too.
i always case my phones so i can get better money for them when i sell them simple as that, also if it got scratched up it would pee me off.

but the case won´t make it undestructable neither. and i think the cost of the case overcomes the extra price you get from selling it "better looking".
To each his own...if someone wants a case they should get one
And I do get the point...I'd rather scratch a case I can replace for $10 than a $100 phone.

personally, i use a case because in certain situations i want the phone to be more visible in case i put it down (i use my phone for navigation whilst out geocaching) and for that reason i only have the bright orange case on the phone whilst indulging in outdoor pursuits.
regardless of costs i like the increased reliability - if i drop the phone and it breaks i would be without a phone for x amount of time. the case can prevent that happening.

The case I have is the amzer tpu. It looks just like higgsy's. It has a lip on the front that would prevent the screen from contacting a flat surface, but just barely.
Picked up the same case as Higgsy if I'm not mistaken. Happy with the purchase.. I bought the set that came with a screen protector which was an utter pain to put on. After about half an hour I gave up and settled for that one bubble by the side - at least it wasn't on the screen
My one gripe is that the case covers the volume rocker so it can be tough to press it without digging your nail in.
Not sure why people keep claiming this phone is rugged. More than that the Droids and iPhone maybe, but nowhere near 810F mil spec (see Motorola i1 for that).
As far a a case...I'm a big fan of the Otterbox Commuter case, as it is a soft gel case which then fits into a harder outer shell.
Very sleek and lifts the front up as OP requested.
Only issue I have with it is that it does not have a belt clip. Nite Ize solved that problem fairly well though.
Looks good but 35USD before shipping is excessive for a case, IMHO
Agreed, they are very proud of their product.
One note, for those interested...T-Mobile also sells the Otterbox. They are in T-Mobile boxes, and not advertised as such, but the case itself still has the Otterbox branding on the back of the case.
I say this, as they occasionally go on sale through T-Mobile & T-Mobile stores and because you can often find them on E-Bay for quite a bit less.
Ever tried the case from otterbox.com? Looks nice and stable.

I prefer the smooth lines of the cover case in gel
I have the cover gel like Higgsy
is fantastic
dropped on the floor, with some bounce but not a scratch
Could someone post a link to ebay to a case that fits good? I would love to order one for my defy but it's hard to know what cases fit the defy good.

T-mobile has a leather case that'll hold the phone vertically for those of you that hate having the phone in a horizontal position. Just ask for the leather case for the T-mobile Wing.
I've been using it for a few weeks now and have no issues with it.

That's funny - same case I've used for my last 3 phones (Tytn, Trinity, and now Mogul)
i have the same bb case, but i dont want to carry around the added weight of that (nice) magnet used to turn off the bb screen in the case..
I shelled out the cash for the Seido. I think it's pretty decent. The Mogul can be in there with LCD out or in, depending on your preference. But, it needs to face in if you have it charging.
Does anybody here use the extended battery recommended on the sprintpcs website? I need a new holster for it because it's too big. Somebody outside the forum told me I could use the PPC-6700 case?

I just got the Seidio. I am returning it. the clips from the bottom part push the top of the phone away from the bottom, I am afraid this wioll damage the slider clips in the phone, not worth the risk. Stinks cause I really like the rubberized feel.
Edit: Sorry, I was talking about the case that surrounds the phone, not the holster.

http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=797
I was thinkin' about buying one, but may not if it is as you say.
I looked at the Seido cases and I really like them... just like a lot of other really cool cases I've found. BUT... There's a problem with most every cool case I've found so far. All of them seem to be made to fit the Mogul form factor. They have a cut out to fit the round Dpad and the curve of the buttons at the top. I've got the XV6800 and I hate seeing a really cool case, but then I look at the photo closely and even though the 6800 is in the picture, it's made to really fit the Mogul. Are there any cases made specifically for the XV6800's form factor?
I just got this holster in the mail a couple of days ago and can I just say man!!!! It's very nice. Padded, very strong top clip keeps phone in place, and the whole thing is kinda rubberized. Unlike the Treo holsters I've had. Worth the $30 imho.
@teknixxx - I have an XV6800 as well and this case fits VERY well. I believe Sedio offers two versions - one for the Verizon XV6800 and a different one for the Mogul. Just make sure and order the one for your phone. You will be happy with it.
Todd
I have the Verizon XV6800.
Has anyone with the Verizon version have this case?
Does it fit OK??
The cutouts seem to still be shaped towards the Mogul.
I bought a cheapo ($1.00 + shipping) one that is similar to this on ebay, and I had to modify the cutouts around the 4 corner buttons on the front. The case was partly over them so I cut it out with my dremel. Still a crappy fit though. keep having to press it back on in the corners all the time. I am hoping the seideo one fits better because it costs like 30 times more!

So what shell/cases are available for the HTC Droid Incredible? I pre-ordered the phone last night from Verizon, but the cases were sold out. I'm looking for a slim-fit shell/case that doesn't add any bulk to the phone, but protects the screen and casing. I will buy two separate accessories if need be. I want to be able to buy this before the phone arrives so any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Uhm... Not being rude but.. The only cases sold out on verizon are the lame pouches and the rubber skins. The "Slim Fit Shell/Case" you want is... well... still there. Do a search on their site for Incredible and its called the Shell Holster Combo.
Where do you recommend getting a case from then? I would want a snap on cover like this one: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12061

Yeah I bought that and I bought the clear case rkaplins posted. Zagg is taking forever to ship my screen protector though. I'm going to receive my incredible today via fedex and I would have liked to have put the screen protector on before I started abusing the phone, but oh well.
received my shell holster combo and screen protectors yesterday from verizon and my incredible will be here tomorrow. I should just drive to memphis and get it early at the fedex distribution center. but that would be kinda crazy.
Shell/holster screen protector

I picked up the red/black shell from Verizon as a temp solution. Once the extd battery comes out it won't fit so off it goes.
I got this case from HandHeldItems.com It was only $5.99 (normally $15.99) It really fits well and will definitely help if I ever drop this thing.
And as you can see, the camera is well protected when setting the phone on its back. Hope this helps!

actually it should, you can use the red/black gradient case without the actual battery back for the incredible snapped on, you can have it removed entirely, which frees up more than enough room to fit the extended battery (this could be why the back was designed in this manner, besides the fact that because of this design we can have snap on cases, that fit snug and make the phone feel more solid

I just tried this with the red/black gradient case, and I'd be worried about gunk getting in there. It's a bit loose (can feel it bounce around), and you also lose one of the metal rings around the stereo jack, which may cause some issues as well (not too sure what this does, but it's attached to the back part of the cover. Maybe I misunderstood, but that's my .02.
those vertical snap 2gether cases in my experience r crap they nvr stay on very well that one kinda looks like that type to me
I have my eyes on the Seidio combo shown here too(sometimes you just can't put it in your pocket):
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hlcsr3hddn-rd.htm
I ordered that case from seidio as well as some screen protectors. I must say that, though kind of expensive, they are great quality. I like the feel the case gives to the phone and the case is very thin not adding much bulk at all.

Those are pouches, the case he is talking about is always on his phone.
There are a few cases on the AT&T website now. There is the Body Glove case that doesn't have cutouts for the buttons. It's ashame since I have the Body Glove case on my Capitivate and it's perfect.

The incipio looks nice. Wonder if the local AT&T store has it yet so if I don't like it I can return it.
the incipio case is the one i have... its ok, if the sides came up over the top edge a little more it would protect the screen but i suppose it would also change the feel of the phone substantially. Additionally the camera button is awkward to use with the case on. That said, it removes easily (but wont fall off) and appears to do an adequate job of protecting the back.
For people with the Incipio cases, does it cover the front at all? I'm looking to get the InvisibleShield too an am worried it may cause issues with how it fits.
The Incipio case is nice, but it does not cover the display at all. From past experience with InvisibleShield, assuming it only covers the glass on the display, the two should work fine together.
Excellent. That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

Im returning mine. The fitment is sub par... you can see the gap by just looking into the opening for the power button.
I'm gonna hold out for a good case. I'm waiting on Speck, Otterbox, or a Case Mate Tough case to provide a good quality and protective case.
focus case
Im having the same problem finding a good focus case. I'm currently waiting on my replacement phone to come in because my first one already got dropped and busted. It fell flat on its face no more that two feet off the side of my couch and the glass screen cracked in half. I was leaning towards the incipio case but im thinking it really needs to protect the screen, and i dont think a screen shield would do anything to help break the impact of a fall.
It just blows that of the few cases that are out there, most are out of stock / not available yet, and even more are just crappy cases.
I just got my Incipio Feather case. I like it, though I am also ordering a screen protector.
Honestly, i would like to know who makes some of these ridiculous decisions. Who decided to go to market with these 3 cases for a new phone, which is one of ATT's flag ships for a brand new OS. One is pretty much just cosmetic and as many have said, fits poorly. The second is practically a joke, which causes nothing but problems with the hardware keys. And the third is actually pretty nice, except for the fact that it's red! and not even a true red, but a "verges on the edge of pink" red. not that there aren't people who like red or whatever shade of red the case happens to be - i'm sure there are; however, if the case had been black or dark gray, it would've sold far more units instead of still being on the shelf in every store (at least where i live, anyways.)
I have put together a video review of the Otterbox Commuter Series Case for the Motorola Milestone XT720.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with this case:
http://www.otterbox.com/Motorola-Milestone-XT720-Commuter-Series-Case/MOT4-XT720-20-E4OTR_A,default,pd.html
It can also be purchased from Amazon.com for a bit cheaper:

Here is my video review:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrEc_0CNPag
Excellent. I have bought one through Amazon, though the price is astronomical (because of unusual shape), it is worth the money. In initial days I did a lot of SD card swap, SIM swap so the rubber loosened up a little bit, but it is keeping my phone like new in spite of a few bumps.
I have the otterbox case and I think it changes the angle at which the usb/charge cable is attached.
I think over time it is going to cause damage to the micro usb slot.
Otterbox is way too thick and bulky. I prefer SGP Ultra Capsule Case

It already did. At least I managed to break the little cover in a few weeks. And yes there is a high potential that even the contacts will get damaged if not handled carefully through the slot.
I was actually thinking about taking a dremmel tool to mine and sand it down a bit. It's the top of the bevel that causes the problem. I have to agree that there is a huge potential for damage in the long term.
SGP is way better!
I've had the Zagg & the SGP.
My buddy has the Otterbox.
The Zagg doesn't look great & tends to 'smear'.
The SGP is slim fitting, firm & cushy. The screen protector is very good.
The otterbox is a big & puffy, looks like a retard's helmet.
You have to be a douche bag to use the otterbox IMHO.

I know. I'm just goofing around.
I actually only use my otterbox when I know that I'm going to be outside for a long time. I don't want to drop the phone and break it now that I have it just the way I like it!
Even though the SGP case is nice, nothing beats the look of the phone without anything on... Only use the case when I have to since I just love the look of the XT720 natural. The screen protector for SGP XT720 feels good, but I just noticed the other day a small hole in the screen protector - no idea how it happened. Fortunately it's at the bottom by the buttons and not by the actual screen so no big deal but I can't figure out how it could have gotten such a hole... wonder if that would have happened with otterbox.

I live in Panamà, so i order it from Ebay ...
I've had this Otterbox since I got my phone last September and have been pretty satisfied with it. I had a similar one on my Blackberry that had the hard case on the inside of the rubber case and the rubber loosened up. Not on this version....even after the numerous battery & SD card pulls during the ROM flashing fun. I do a fair amount of outside work so I feel the need to protect my phone as much as I can.
Also, I used the screen protector that came with the Otterbox, but when I had to replace my phone, it got boogered up. When the new one came, I simply left the temporary shipping screen protector on and it's done quite well.
Accidents happen (Accident After-Action Report) XD
Well I have even more love for this case. Recently I was in a bicycle accident that ripped my chin open and required many stitches. My phone/music player is always in the front synch pouch of my slingbag when I'm riding. When I flew over my handlebars and landed on my chin, I also landed right on the phone and I slid a good 3-4 feet before I stopped. While my chin was pretty messy by this time, my phone came out intact and with a lot less scratches and gauges then I thought. On the plus side, it even has a bit of soaked-in blood on the scratches that makes it look badass .
Overall, I've gotten quite a bit of value out of my initial 34.99 that I payed for it and I'm still using the case since. Hope my future replacement for my XT720 will have as good of a case as my Otterbox.
EDIT: Pics for proof.

I have got my otterbox case last week from ebay India. I am completely satisfied with the item.
It looks sturdy and gripping in hand. I like the look of the phone with this case.
Hi!
I have seen these two leather cases:
Noreve tradition: http://www.noreve.com/brand/HTC/product/Housse_cuir_HTC_Leo_-_HTC_Touch_HD2_Tradition.html
Piel Frama imagnum: http://www.pielframa.com/fundas-htc-touch-hd-2-imagnum-cuero.htm
I am looking for a leather case that really protects my HD2 of falls and knocks. I do not use the compass, so I have no problems with a magnetic clasp.
Has anybody used them and can help me choosing one? The safer, the best. I got the fright of my life when my HD2 fall and the screen went black. It has been repaired and I don't want it to happen again.
Thank you in advance Any suggestion is wellcome

I realize you said leather, but I really recommend the Otterbox Defender case. It provides maximum protection for the HD2.
I agree...
if you going for the leather one take Noreve tradition
but Otterbox Defender case its 100% protection... not to elegant but...

Thank you both, stevedebi and Ti_L for your answers. I do not mind if it is not elegant if it is safe

Make sure you get the International Otterbox case. The HD2 is different in the US (T-Mobile).

Well I say don't use any cases
I think it makes my lovely HD2 look ugly so I prefer not to use any protective cases.
I know people want it for the protection of phone but people have different ideas.. right??!

Actually, I prefer my Otterbox Defender simply because I find it easier to hold and use. Without some kind of case I found the HD2 to be TOO easy to drop. Matter of personal choice, of course.

I can confirm that
I think I will try the otterbox. I do not want my HD2 just for show but to work with. Better ugly than broken.
And the more important reason: I do not like W7, android or iOS, for different reasons. So now there is no cell in the market that suits me. So I hope my HD2 will last.
Thank you for your help
I just ordered myself a Defender case form Amazon. They have a little sale now, $28 and free shipping (but I guess free shipping is only in US).

With otterbox it doesnt look that ugly. Only bigger.
Since you said you don't use compass, I suggest you buy Noreve case. This case has sheet metal in it and really protective. Looks elegant too. Only downside is when the corners wear, the metal starts to daylight. I use it in pretty tough conditions tough.

I had been used the Noreve for more than 7 months, it was OK but expensive and made the phone bigger (the back of the case doesn't fit the phone completely). Until I found this flip leather case costs USD29.- It fits the phone perfectly with excellent protection as well.
With high grade real leather:

I am using the otterbox Commuter for my phone... Not as bulky as the Defender but still works very well... I was using a cheap ebay case and after one drop cracked my screen. $100 to repair and now I am using the Otterbox... I have dropped a few times and no issue...
Thank you for your help. After reading you, I think I will buy the otterbox defender instead the leather case.
Just a question: is the screen really protected? Is enough the plastic of the otterbox? This is the only thing that is making me doubt

I think so. The plastic cover is integrated into the polycarbonate front casing. It seems secure, and on Amazon there was a complaint by one person that his Defender case fell down and the plastic broke. He was complaining that one cannot order a replacement plastic glass protector part; one has to order the entire case if the plastic breaks because it fell. But his story indicates to me that the case will break before the screen breaks.
I think he is being foolish - the case functioned correctly, and he avoided a broken LCD.
Then, this is what I'm looking for. Thank you for your time and advice, stevedebi
Should be use leather case open from the top.

I use this case.
i personally think otterboxes are overpriced. i prefer the flexible plastic/gel cases that are sold on ebay or amazon, but not the cheap ones.
