I'm going to be getting the HD7S, and I was looking for a good case for the HD7 as they're the same phone. My problem with a lot of cases is that dust and other things get inside the case and scratch the phone. So I was wondering if anyone could help me out and let me know which cases don't do that, the Otterbox Commuter in particular.

if anyone has the case from tmobile that has black edges and a clear back but also want a belt clip get the one from Seidio. I already had that case and ordered the $50 one from Seidio that has case and clip and noticed the tmobile case fits perfectly in the Seidio clip.
The case i received with my hd7 was a cheap $5 one off eBay. The guy told me he paid $20 for it, however i paid $2.50 off Amazon for the same quality case for my last phone. I bought an Otterbox commuter case and for $25 off Amazon it is a great buy. The inner part of the case is rubber and seals all the contact points on the phone and case.

I want the Candyshell from Speck...
That is a pretty nice one.. But the price is way too expensive than I wanted. T.T
What I really like is the PowerSkin for the HD7 - I use with a screen protector I bought separately. Only shortcoming is Powerskin doesn't have a belt clip/holster and is way too big for most phone holsters - I ordered a horizontal case for a GPS off eBay - if it works I'll update with the model number here..

Never heard of it - looked it up and man, what a gorgeous case!! I'd get one right now if I didn't have the powerskin..
I use on my HD7 a Momax iCase Pro. 10 bucks only and it's very good.
Otterbox off Ebay is amazing. Came just the other day and it fits snug inside.
It costed around 40 bucks but is well worth it
Otterbox for sure!!!! I used all three cases they sell at TMO:
-Body Glove was second best IMO (pretty, but cheap feeling, it creaks when you squeeze the chrome borders)
-Hard rubber with the grid back (decent but bland)
-Black bumper with clear back (tight fit *good* but volume keeps pressing with the slightest touch due to the tight buttons covers, plus back scratches easily)
Otterbox, no contest. Tight fit, covers up my decaying buttons (seriously HTC?) and soooo sexy with the brushed metal styling on the back, and feels so much slimmer than the Body Glove
I just got the 2 smoke argyle tpu case on ebay for the price of $0.00 (got a refund and replacement). The cases however are only mediocre. Its a tight fit so I don't have to worry about it coming off or anything like that and it gives you a pretty good grip of the phone. However, it does get slippery if you have sweaty palms like myself and the buttons are now harder to press because of the cover. The TPU case is sturdy and I believe it will protect my phone but it surely is not the best case out there. Price right now on ebay is $3.95 for 1.
I have looked at more premium cases like the momax icase pro and the speck candyshell. The candyshell looks to be a great case and I will probably buy one eventually.
Got the Otterbox case a couple days ago. Works wonders! It has an awesome feel, isn't bulky at all and provides good protection, not to mention the buttons are easier to push. Recommend it for sure! 10/10.
(TWSS also applies to much of what I said.)
I'm thinking of getting the Otter Box myself as I cannot find any Speck cases in the UK.
Only problem I see is that the phone won't fit on a dock/cradle with the Otter Box!?
Why do you need a dock when you have a kickstand?

Good point lol - never thought of that. I suppose I thought it would be handy to charge etc although I still haven't seen a dock I like yet as they don't seem to have supports on the ones with the audio jacks built in. I don't like the thought of my phone free standing with the USB and audio jack inside it in case it breaks somehow.
I would vote ooterbox as #1 but the case dosnt have a belt clip or holster like the defender series. ANd the fact that they dont plan on making one make me lean in favor for the body glove. I got Zaggg's invisible shield max all over the phone with the body glove case. It gives it a really tight feel and stiffens up the bodyglove case from squeaking and making cracking sounds when you hold it.
My vote is for either CaseMate "Barley There" or, Incipio Feather Light case.
Nice protection with hardly any additional bulk added.
i found otterbox is a very good case
skin-it
personally I don't like a big case, so otterbox is out for me. I got a skin-it custom skin I am very pleased with. Easy install, fits perfect, holds tight.

I am buying a case tomorrow, and I was wondering, should I get the BodyGlove case or the Speck Candyshell
I have never seen a bodyglove case I liked. So I guess the other.
I had that Body Glove case and it was garbage. I've never seen that Speck case, but I wouldn't think it could be any WORSE than the BG one.
i have the speck candyshell and the plastic on the back scratches SO easily. there are scuff marks all over mine just by leaving it on a table. it's also pretty bulky
I have the Speck CandyShell, I like it, but then again I've always liked Speck cases. Have one on my MacBook, iPod touch, iPad, and Droid Inc.
+1 on the bodyglove being garbage. It has six tiny tabs on the corners and left and right sides and one drop is almost guaranteed to break at least ONE tab off and then it's all down hill from there. I reccomend going with a Seidio Surface or Active Case
I have the rugged which is basically like an Active case. It's an older model and it's STILL holding together with no problems and I drop it quite frequently. Not too much thickness added either. Actually fleshes the phone out quite nicely if you ask me.
I also recommend Seidio. I love mine, I have the surface.
Their cases are high quality, very protective, and shockingly secure. They are also extremely form fitting, only adding a few mm to the width of the phone. They are by no means bulky.
I have been contemplating getting an active instead, simply because I like the extra shock absorbance it gives. I believe both the active and the surface have holster options as well.
The Otterbox is garbage durability-wise, and extremely bulky. The Candshell is also fairly cheap quality.
Body glove is a waste of money. If you drop it once the whole case is broken

Ok. Im probably gonna order the SpeckCandy Shell on monday. Its a hard case right?
Look at one of these. They're all one piece, and it fits like a glove. I've had bad experiences with Seidio cases, having had 3, all scratched grooves into my devices I had them on (iPod Classic, iPod nano, iPod Touch) I recommend against them.
I also had the Body glove and I hated it. I bought it because the one I had on my Blackberry Curve was good. The Incredible one was garbage.
I had the Seidio Innocase II on mine and like it but wanted a belt clip. So I moved on to the Otter Box Defender. I love the defender. It is a 3 piece case with belt clip. It does attract dust but overall I think it does a great job and Otter Box customer service is top notch.
Just some food for thought
I can vouch for the Body Glove being a sacrificial case, unfortunately I myself prefer the screen-out belt holster style cases and this is the only one I've found. I stocked up on a sale and bought a couple right at $3 a pop.
One drop and one of the required 6 minuscule clips will almost certainly break.

Yes it's a hard case.
As stupid as this is, I just went into the Verizon store and bought this, and another case (the other case is a leather one). I didn't feel like waiting lol.
OMG this thing is huge. Probably the worst purchase of my life. it makes my pockets and bulge and looks like i have a freaking tank inside. I'm sorry, but going from an iphone defender to this is like going from a phone to a ****ing TV. Who in their right mind would use something so hideous and large. I'm sorry for ranting but this item sucks.

Yeah i have the commuter case from Otterbox and its also fairly large .
On the plus side every time someone sees my phone like at a checkout counter or where ever all i hear is "OMG that is one huge phone" so i guess if your looking for a conversation piece then buy an Otterbox case and your all set .
I love the protection it offers even if it starts approaching the size of a 7 inch tablet with the case on ..
I had the commutter and then got the defender so that I could have a belt clip. It is huge. I hate how it makes it 3 times thicker than the actual phone.
I'm thinking of switching back to the commuter or getting some other case/folio or something.
I think the phone itself is amazingly thin considering what it is and does.
I am glad to read about someone who has had both because i was also tempted to upgrade/downgrade to the defender after seeing my brothers Defender case for the Samsung Captivate..
Now that i know it makes it ridiculously huge i wont even bother.
I wanted a belt clip for the phone because i am always just carrying my phone in my hand since i hate things in my pockets .

Actually, I thought the Commuter added the right amount of thickness to the Streak. It feels more like a phone to me now than a tablet. The Defender, at 70% of the weight of the Streak itself, was way too much.
I don't use a belt clip, but simply slip the phone into my front pocket and go.

exactly, if we could have protection without adding bulk or size on this phone it would be perfect. alas we have to settle for **** like otterbox that takes away the beauty of the phone. people already say hoe big the phone is without the case. I almost feel shameful for putting such an atrocity on this phone.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
what about the impact? does it make the Streak look bulky to the degree some of you guys are mentioning as well?
The Commuter and Impact add 1.9 and 2.1 ounces of weight to the phone. Having an Otterbox adds a little bit to the thickness of the phone but you can very easily slip a phone with a Commuter or Impact case into your pocket.
The best of the three Otterbox cases is the Commuter. Less heavy than the Impact and easier to slip into a pocket than the Defender, it also suffers less from the "silicon dust magnet" problem that affects all silicon rubber cases by having the polycarbonate back panel and sides.
I bought one generic from eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300500734438&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT and it's much thinner than my Otterbox Impact case
I also bought tpu case from ebay. I have 2 different outterbox cases and I like how tpu case is cheap and slim. Hoever, I find it very hard to press the power button. I ave to press it 4-5 times in order to turn the screen on with tpu case.
Can anyone give me some feedback on this if they are using it?
http://tiny.cc/qtc7j
I am thinking about purchasing it. yes I know its cheap but I dont want to buy 4th case and wait a month to get it only to be disappointed.
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protec...-back-case-for-dell-streak-mini-5-black-80791
I have one of the cheaper otterbox cases, maybe the impact? Got it for 7 bux shipped. It's just silicon and a screen plastic. It does make the phone thicker and weighty, but it has protected the thing from multiple bumps and scratches I would have had otherwise.
That, and the silicon gives me piece of mind it's in my pocket and didn't slip out since it sticks to cotton almost.
i love otterbox products, have owned several, and was mightily impressed with the quality of the defender on my gtab 7
so i opted initially for the impact for my streak 5, i was pretty disapointed actually, although the silicone is of very high quality and nice thickness, the two side parts that run down the length of the phone, is far too flexible and virtually flaps about, it needs to be far more rigid somehow
so with that, i purchased the commuter, and boy is this thing quality, a bit lighter to the feel than the impact, using lighter/thinner silicon for first layer
but when you snap the plastic shell over the silicone, its transformed into a solid, rigid, very smart looking shell. highly impressed with the commuter, easy to slip into and out of pockets
the commuter is probably the best case for the streak that exists.
it has restored my faith in otterbox, but they have fallen short with the impact on those side 'struts' imho, looks sloppy
After trying all three Otterbox cases and a TPU case I settled on the Commuter as the best. All of the Otterbox cases work very well with the buttons on the Streak. The Defender was too bulky and the Impact collected too much lint and did not fit as snugly as the TPU or Commuter.
My case rankings:
1) Otterbox Commuter
2) TPU case
3) Otterbox Defender
4) Otterbox Impact
If you watch eBay you can find a Commuter at a decent price - I got mine for about $15.

Yup - I got my commuter case for about 20 bucks - I'm not very fond of the screen protector that comes with the commuter, but you can change that up pretty easy. I like the hard outside shell on the commuter, it makes it feel strong, and slides into your pocket pretty easy, turn the phone screen down and set it on a table or wherever, and now the rubber holds it in place.. very nice design, works well, keeps it safe.
Cheers!
I bought the commuter for myself and then I bought the Defender for my son's Streak. I switched them around to see if I liked the defender better, but it is so damn HUGE...
I believe that it will do what it says... a cheap case may only provide cheap protection. (Buyer beware)
The belt clip portion of the defender doesn't fill me with awe... it feels cheap and while secure enough while on your belt, it is VERY bulky and just for that reason it may cause more issues than it saves.
I think I'm going to revert back to the Commuter for my phone and the Defender for my son... at least the belt clip provides some screen protection...
I have the defender case for mine and you're right...it's huge. The holster doesn't feel very secure for me so I took a heat gun and heated up the tabs and bent them in just a little. Way better now. I have had to do this with every otterbox defender case I've ever purchased, which is one for the Dell Streak and 3 for iPhones for the rest of the family. I wish they would make the holster a tighter fit. On the other hand, their customer service is out of this world. I have ripped the rubber portion on an iphone and broken two holsters (one iphone, one dell streak) and each time, they have sent me replacement pieces no questions asked and no charge.
I agree with strick242, otterbox customer service is best of the best. I had them replace torn rubber on iphone defender and then follow up to make sure I was satisfied.
The commuter is the otterbox i settled on. it doesn't add too much size and offers good protection. I don't like the rubber tab over the charge/sync port though.
There two different Cases, the Active case & Surface case.
Does anyone have any of the two? I'd like some thoughts about the cases
because I'm most likely to jump into one of these cases, since I think ballistic
cases are too big & bulky but I had the infuse 4g so that had something to
do with it too =P
-Edit-
Seido Holster case
Here's an even better case, it's almost the same price, and it comes with a kickstand.. i wish i saw this before i purchased the pt holster case ):
I got the Seidio Surface.
Very beautiful case. Its very thin, believe its just 1mm thick.
Feels very nice to the touch, easy to put on... easy to take out.
Nice access to all buttons.
However, since its so thin and all that stuff, not sure its good for protection. Probably just minor? I got it more for aesthetics reasons because I love that sapphire blue.
However, still offers some protection over not having a case, but obviously less than a more bulky case like my old Case-Mate Pop.
Basically, everything about the surface feels and looks nice.
Thank you! I want to get the Surface one too because I mainly just want the holster.. the case is just an added bonus lol.. the fact that it looks very simple and doesn't add too much bulk is a plus to me too
Just an FYI, but Best Buy sells the exact same case as the Surface Combo. It is branded for Best Buy but it is the same. It is an excellent case IMO.
Hey thanks for the heads up.. i did check into it and saw how similar they both are.. i might just end up buying it since shipping might take a while. Thank you

Just got the platinum series with holster from bestbuy. Its a great case, does not add too much bulk. The front edges are slim so it does not interfere when you slide your fingers. And I got it for 30 dollars it was initially 35 but if you get a best buy rewards card they will do a 20% discount
I agree its a really nice case

I have the surface case with kickstand and holster combo like the one in the ebay link above. Just two nights ago i dropped my thrill out of my truck window doing 55mph and it only scratched the corners of the whole case and around the kickstand. i had just got the phone replaced due a manufacturing defect so i thought i was screwed and just destroyed my phone. thankfully it is still in mint condition because of the case.
I'm looking for a fairly durable case (just for me clumsily dropping it... I work a computer job so it doesn't need to be bulletproof) with some sort of kickstand and a belt clip. The only 2 I've seen by reputable brands I've seen for this has been the OtterBox Defender (with the holster being the kickstand) and the Seidio Active (with the case having it's own kickstand).
The Otterbox Defender seems overkill for my needs, but my wife has an Otterbox Commuter for her iPhone 5 and I'm super impressed with the build quality. But the Commuter has no kickstand or belt clip. I was curious if anyone has experience with the Seidio Active and how it compares to the OB Commuter and if the kickstand being way off center is an issue in day to day use? Or if there are any other suggestions?
The Active for the Note 2 is getting somewhat dubious reviews based on the inner layer being very loose around the edges. I personally won't use an Otter Box Defender because the interior plastic case, in a perfect display of why hard plastic should never be in direct contact with your phone, scratches up the phone case itself, the built-in screen protector actually traps dust and sand under it (leading to scratches), and the whole thing caused overheating problems with my Skyrocket.
I'm awaiting a Seidio Surface case, but if you look on eBay or Amazon, you'll find cases that are essentially identical to the Seidio active, but $10-12 instead of $40+. On eBay, they're called Rugged cases. On Amazon, they're called Rhino cases.
I looked at the Surface as it also has a kickstand but I'm a little hesitant as it just doesn't seem to provide enough protection. Maybe I'm a little "gun shy" because I dropped my last phone and cracked the screen. That's also the reason I'm hesitant about any of the $10 cases on Amazon or Ebay. Does their protection really compare with something like an Otterbox or Seidio?
i actually ordered an Active that just arrived, but im going to send it back without even trying it. too many reviews about the rubber bring loose has turned me off from it. i have an Ionic case on it now and it seems that it might due until the Trident Aegis comes out. I'm wondering if the Aegis can fit in the Seidio holster? Otherwise I'll continue to pocket it and wait for something else.
I'm not going with the Defender because of the rubber inner peace loosing it's form over time with previous purchases. Ottorbox has had excellent customer service with replacements, but I don't want to go through the hassle.
I have the rugged/rhino case for my note 2.
It's ok, I personally don't like the feel of the rubber, especially compared to otterbox or casemate.
Also the bottom part of it is pretty loose.
It's ok for $8 but I'll be replacing it soon when something else shows I like.

I too have the Rugged (from eBay) while I wait for Seidio to process my refund of the Active. The holster for the Rugged is mega cheap, and the clip popped off on the first day that I had it last week. I contacted the seller, who actually sent me a whole new case and holster, which is nice, but it is the same POS holster that will break soon. It will do while I wait it out.
Just and FYI, I received and email from Ballistic that their case is now out for order.

The HTC M8 was the first phone I decided not to get a case for, just a belt-clipped holster...... I am glad for HTC Advantage.
Anyway, not taking that chance again (especially with how slippery and thin the M8 is). My go-to for cases used to be Otterbox, especially since the defender series has a belt clip. Problem is, I saw nothing but complaints about the defender model for the M8 on Amazon's reviews. Even the guy at the Sprint store told me the defender model wasn't very good and that I should get the commuter. (Not a fan of the built-in screen protector of the defender anyway, I would have probably taken it off, I hated it even on my old EVO 3D, much less a phone that has a 1080p screen).
So now I am at an impasse, due to the fact that I have not really used any other cases, and especially not knowing which ones are good. Add to that fact that I want to be able to carry it on my belt and I am very low on options. Most of the top case recommendations for the M8 had no options that came with a belt clip, and I didn't trust most of them as they recommended the Otterbox Defender.
Browsing retail stores so I could get a good idea was also fruitless, RadioShack, Best Buy, etc carry very little in terms of the M8, even the Sprint Store I mentioned only had Otterbox and a few Speck cases (which didn't seem that protective)
I care very little about looks, I want to get a case primary for protection (reasonably.... not going to get a $100-300 waterproof, bulletproof, etc case that is 5 inches thick). Currently, the UAV Navigator looks interesting, though I couldn't find a store that had it so I could tell how thick it actually is, plus, no belt clip option.
I suppose my best bet is getting a case and a seeprate belt holster that is big enough to hold the phone with the case on it.... but pretty much all belt holsters just simply tell you which phone they fit, none would take the millions of options of cases into consideration, so I am not sure where I would even find a holster that fits whatever case I get.
Any ideas?

I'm in the same boat as you. Ordered a Tech21 case for now, but I need a belt holster and relatively rugged case!
Pretty sure Seidio's Convert case comes with a belt holster. I've had good luck with Seidio Surface cases on the past--my Note II survived a fall from four feet off the ground thanks to one--and IIRC the heart of the Convert is a Surface.

I had this one recommended to me from another forum:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IGUUKRY/
I won't lie, it IS kinda cheaply put together, but it's pretty decent for it's price. Rubber casing with a hard shell, kickstand, and belt holster. It's a little hard to get it in/out of the holster at first, but it gets broken in after a bit. Still not as easy as just clipping it out of an Otterbox holster, but even the Sprint store rep told me the Otterbox Defender cases for the M8 are terrible. And it's far less likely to fall out if you are running or otherwise shaking the holster somehow.
I have this one and like it a lot.

They must have more than one type of Defender. I've had Otterbox Defenders on all my iPhones (3, 3GS, 4 and 5) and loved them, but I looked at the one for the HTC One M8 and it was really flimsy and cheaply made. It was so horrible, I'm surprised they would even put their branding on it.
I just got my phone on the 1st of the month and went with this case because it came with a holster: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pt-kick...lack/5096589.p?id=1219107945030&skuId=5096589

How is the kickstand? Can you use it while holding the phone to help stabilize it more in your hand?
The Spigen Ultra Hybrid fits in the Seidio Surface holster. That's the combination I use. You can actually get the Platinum case combo from Best Buy since it's a rebranded Seidio Surface case and holster, and it's cheaper than buying it from Seidio. The holster also works well with the Supcase Unicorn Beetle cases.
Aaaaaand if you wanted more protection, the Seidio Dilex holster is a perfect fit with the Spigen Slim Armor case. I think someone mention this in this thread already as well.

I had a similar one at one point for my droid. It's alright. This type of case though while pretty slim, your phone will bounce out of it if it drops from more than a couple feet onto a hard surface. Usually the phone is fine (the case absorbs) but on the upbounce the phone will pop out,

Can you link to that? I can't find it? I've liked Seido in the past (expensive though). I got the clear unicorn beetle supcase, and think for looks that I would prefer that...but nice to have a holster.
I got this one as well as the supcase:

My friend has the Supcase and it fits perfectly in that holster. Fits better than my Spigen Ultra Hybrid!

Thanks but that link seems to be just for the case, not a holster/case combo. Am I misunderstanding?
I guess it's not a huge deal anyway as I refuse to buy anything from best buy...just wanted to see the item to see if it was available anywhere else.

That's with the holster as well. If you look thru the pictures it's pictured there. That's the exact one I bought.
