Question - otterbox commuter or speck case? - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Want to know if anyone has tried both and which one they picked?
I need to get a case but can't find a local store to test the speck case. My main concern is the size and if I will be able to easily get it out if my jeans pocket?

I originally bought the commuter, the day I got my phone(launch day) but after 2 days of use I got so fed up with it that I pulled it off and went with no case for about a week before I picked up the Speck, which has been on ever since.
The Speck is FAR thinner than the Commuter... however, it is still very sturdy and feels like it is protecting my vivid.
The Commuter was simply too bulky and I found the cover over the charging port to be difficult to open. in addition it was hard to put on, which makes popping the battery out a problem(something you will have to do if you buy backup batteries Or do much with custom roms).

Thanks for the info I will look for a speck case then!

Otterbox all the way.

Just bought the speck case for my white HTC vivid and by far the best case for the money. Love the case so much and trust me when i say it. I have over 5 cases and if you are looking for a thinner case go with the Tpu style.

I use an otterbox defender. I work in a warehouse environment and have to have a good rugged case. Also like having a beltclip instead of carrying it in my pocket. Would love to see a few different options that offer the same or similar protection though so I can change the look of my phone from time to time and not sacrifice durability.

I have tried these 3: otterbox commuter (grey/blk), speck and incipio (SILICRYLIC). After 2 weeks of try out, I went with otterbox for the reason of protection. I just feel the quality of otterbox provides a lil more protection that the other 2.
At first, I found putting the case on was a hazzle but now it doesn't bother me anymore. I kinda master the skill and able to put on in 5 sec. hehe
As for style or design, I like the speck case.

In my experience with various phones and cases as well, no case protects like the otterbox. It adds a considerable amount of bulk, but it's well worth it. One of my friends will confidently throw his blackberry across the room (not saying it's a good idea for us, but just demonstrating) into a concrete wall without hesitation. It also gives the phone a better feel in my opinion. The silicone they use grips, yet is still pocket friendly in that it won't grip like cheap flimsy cases.
I, personally, plan on getting the Defender series.
As stated above the quality of their cases is fantastic. A lot of sales have to be built on confidence of past buyers because the price isn't always cheap but the product is worth it.
I've used their cases in the past and I'm glad to see they'll be supplying the Incredible as well.
I'll most likely be going with the Commuter because as much as I like protection I don't want to add to much bulk.

I have been waiting for this case since phone dropped. I ended up going with seidio rugged case and if you look on Amazon you can find it for $30
Had an Otterbox for my Eris, liked it...got the Incredible last week and got my Seidio rugged case (w/innocase II combo) this week and absolutely love it. Regular and rugged case, all part of the same!

Now we just need to wait another 3 months for them to actually go on sale.

I'm between the commuter and the defender. Can't decide.
is commuter easy to come off.. only had a defender prior
Check the pdf on the webpage. It shows the parts of the commuter. Looks like a silicone wrap and a hard polycarbonate shell. Should be much easier to remove than the defender.

Just ordered the commuter. I like that the commuter has the silicone between the hard shell and the phone. The defender is backwards. The hard plastic and the the silicone wraps over it.
Got the commuter.

Heavy Duty Cases

Has anyone seen any heavy duty cases other than the Otterbox Defender? I take classes in a machine shop and have a job doing maintenance at a gas station, so I need a case with plenty of protection. I've heard talk of the seidio convert but have yet to see one pop up. Also watching Trident closely. Anyone have any suggestions of places to look? i would get a Defender, but I haven't seen one in store yet and want to get my hands on one before buying.

+1 Bulky, but pretty much bomb proof.
The screen protector membrane on the Defender seems to be a worse grease and fingerprint magnet than the naked Vivid screen. It's a real mess and difficult to keep clean. I'm giving serious thought to cutting it out of the case and using it without any screen protection.
i have the otterbox commuter with an aftermarket screen protector.. and its great.. however if you are doing maintenance and such you probably want to try to find something that has a hard cover over the screen.
I, for one, am not keen on dropping upwards of $10 on a case...
I'm waiting for the Otterbox Impact to hit Amazon, hopefully at the same price as the iPhone one.
Does anyone conclusively know if our phone's screen is Gorilla Glass or not?

If you're gonna do that, I'd just save a few bucks and get an OB Commuter case. They offer similar protection minus a built in screen protector. They do have an adhesive one you can apply that comes with it. They also aren't as bulky. The only drawback is no belt clip.

I cant seem to find anything definitive actually from HTC on this one, but a user on a different site said he sent an email to HTC about his Raider (same thing as the Vivid on a different network) and recieved this response:
"Thank you for contacting HTC Technical support about if your Raider device has Gorilla Glass for the screen of your device. In our commitment to quality, HTC pioneered the use of shatterproof glass in smartphones. At the time, Corning was the only manufacturer and we used their product, Gorilla Glass. Since then, many manufactures have developed and advanced shatter-proof glass technology, allowing HTC to use the highest quality cutting edge shatterproof glass in our smartphones while keeping costs low for our customers."
Meaning, not Gorilla Glass but something thats supposed to be just as good.
Otterbox if you want REALLY GOOD protection against drops

I'm using the Ballistic case. Had one on my atrix4g and liked it so much I ordered one 5 minutes after buying the vivid. It has thick rubber on the corners and a hard plastic backing. It doesn't block any ports, cameras, mics , or speakers. Best of all it makes pressing g the power and volume buttons infinitely easier.

All otterbox cases are made in China. There very cheap materials. And the price is just insanely expensive. That's probably why they can afford $600,000 shipping fedex every night. If your responsible you shouldn't need an tough case if you just use it in everyday normal situations. And if your worried insurance is cheap.

I'm gonna +1 on the commuter. its not nearly as expensive as people try to make out. You can get a relatively inexpensive one on amazon or ebay...

+1 without the screen, wouldn't it be pretty much a commuter?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
I have/had a defender. The case itself is fine. Protects the phone well. The issue I have and have always had with any phone is the carry case clip breaks too easily. I haven't had my case but maybe two months and the clip that holds the phone in place when you decide to wear it broke. Third time for the clip on case to break. The case for the phone is great but the carry case design is real cheap.
I'm using an otterbox commuter. I really like the way the case feels, though I often swap batteries mid day, and this thing can be a pain to take off and put back on. I had the impact on my captivate, it was a bit loose for my tastes, which is why I got the commuter. Really wish they made an otterbox with a battery door.
I wouldn't sweat no gorilla glass. From what I read the glass it has is equivalent to it. I threw away the included screen protector with my otterbox, and I don't plan on getting one. 1 week in and no scratches so far.
BTW my commuter was only like $15 shipped. I don't consider that a high price at all. I got it off amazon, sold by a company called "smart overstock". I love otterbox cases and will probably continue to buy them.
I use the otterbox commuter with a Moshi White iVisor Screen Protector on mine and it is well protected and the best thing is that the Moshi can be taken off and washed and reused, and there are no bubbles because it only sticks to the area around the screen and they are a great protector. As for otterbox I drive up to their offices in Fort Collins and got my comuter for $10.00 and a defender for $15.00 so they are not that expensive.
I had a Seidio Active case on my Inspire and I LOVED it. I've had the OtterBox defender before and I just find Seidio to be a more solid case. I have one ordered for my Vivid and it should be here Monday. If you want, I'll post pics so you can see.

Here is what I went with.

Diztronic, love it!

I bought directly from the site of the seller.
I've been a user of this case since my last phone (HTC Evo LTE). The case did me really well on that phone and it was slim on form factor. Protector was also very good on the previous phone as I've dropped it couple times with the phone in the case. No damage were shown on the case or on the phone. Because of this, I decided that I would choose the same company again if I were to change phones.
This time around, I went with the Samsung Note 2 as an upgrade to my previous phone. The case wasn't announced when I got the phone, but soon after they decided to make the case. I bought it the second day it was announced through the owners site. Case arrived quickly and the quality is still superb. If you check this listing, there's a few photos that I posted which represented the case. When you lay the case flat with the phone inserted, it's basically the same thickness as the Evo LTE with the phone in a diztronic case. Adds very very minimal bulk which doesn't affect the usability.
The back of the case is a matte finish. This matte finish actually allows the user to grip the phone better. That's not just it, the finish also reduces all fingerprints and dust particles.
Phone cutouts are all perfect and aligned to the spot. Power button and volume buttons use a soft silicon touch. It's covered, but in no way does it affect the touch. I can still easily press those buttons and the phone would respond to my action.
Overall, great case! Price is right! Go for it!
Im pretty pleased with mine too even though I normally dont use tpu protectors. It has a really nice feel and the sides seem like they provide substantial protection. No real complaints from me. I know diztronic has a great reputation and this was my first case from them so im happy.

Im on the same boat!! I detest silicone and TPU cases as they are flimsy and stretchy, causing plenty of dusts to get trapped inside and scratch the device. But when I saw this case on Diztronic site I was very amazed so I ordered one. It arrived fairly fast despite the holiday seasons for US to Australia. Been using for 2 days and have to say, the best TPU case I've ever seen. The texture is very very nice, matte and really nice to touch and hold, raised lips to protect the screen, cover all the buttons (my favourite features), compact and thin enough but still have a decent protection from it. I'm very happy with this case, by far the best case I've got for Note 2 yet.
The only thing they should improve is to stick with matte texture all the way rather than having the raised lips/edges in glossy texture. And the seams could use some clean up.
Perhaps. I kinda like the edges with the smooth finish. Feels good when I need to stretch fingers across the whole phone.
One other plus I noticed is it seems to not get stretched easy. As I said this is my first Diztronic case so I'm sure others already know, but I've taken it on and off about 5 times and it still fits tight.

I think it's pretty firm on my end. I don't seem to loose control of it when it's in my hand.
I just want to pipe in and say I really like the Diztronic tpu case on my note 2. I used their cases on my Galaxy Nexus and was very happy. They add very little weight and size to the phone, yet I feel like my phone has pretty decent protection. My Galaxy Nexus still looks brand new, even though I dropped it a few times. I've dropped my note 2 one time and it still looks perfect.

Can't wait to get mine. I been thru quite a few cases hope this is the last one, it seems to fit all the criteria.
Diztronic is my preferred case-maker. Good quality, decent prices, great fit and feel. Can't ask for more than that.
Quick question on people who has it, I checked out the bodyglove case from sprint, and while it fits nice the sides were flimsy, does the diztronic fit nice and tight on the sides?

Best rugged case for note 2

Looking for opinions on most protective case. Defender seems like the best but the screen protector....and hearing about dust getting in between it and the screen is a little disconcerning. I used a seidio active case on my thunderbolt and loved it, dropped on concrete several times and faired very well. But after recently breaking few months ago and seidio not wanting to replace it like they used to...kind of left a bad taste in my mouth and I dont know if I want to go back to them. That's what she said. Please let me know your opinion. Thanks!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Although I don't have the note2. I have an s3 and I have the otter box defender. I couldn't get the oil slick look to go away so I just took the built in screen protector out. It just pops right out. I have my full screen protector on there anyway to its still fully protected.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Ya that's what im thinking. Just thinking... should I buy it then immediately break the case by ripping out the built in protector. It just feels weird to break something so expensive on purpose lol. Then, does the adhesive that was holding it on cause an issue or removing the protector cause the case rigidinity to be compromised?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
If you can wait 3-4 weeks the uag http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/black-note-ii-case
But if you need it now then go for the otter defender or commuter.
Also, if removing screen protector from defender is there still benefit(s) to using that case versus an otterbox commuter? Being that there is an included screen protector versus built in already.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Rigidity shouldn't be compromised, and from what I read people use hair dryer to heat up the edge of the screen for a glue to soften, thus doing a clean removal of the screen. Glue supposed to roll off easily when its hot.. But you have to keep in mind, Otterbox gives you 1yr warranty if something happens to the case. If something breaks or gets damaged and you need to replace it, they will ask your original case back (I called them up to verify it) and even if you going to glue the screen back - there is a chance they will see it and might use it against you. I personally didn't want to take my chance, so I'm returning my Defender back.
Ya I was worried about breaking/enhancing this case for this reason. What did you end up going with?

Yes I have been watching this closely. Wasnt sure about how tough this case was. Looked more about design from what I could see, but I could be very wrong. I actually voted so they would make that case lol. But....not sure whats up with the holes on the back.

I have two cases for my Note 2: a Seidio Active case, and, as of this morning, an Otterbox Defender. Both have their pros and cons. The Seidio is more comfortable in the hand, and quite a bit slimmer, but the soft rubber inner case peels away from the phone too easily and all sorts of nasty scratchy stuff can get underneath it. It also has a handy little kickstand. The Defender is bloody huge, and for me at least, not as comfortable to hold. But it really does feel bombproof. The inbuilt screen protector isn't wonderful, but it works ok. Just needs an oleophobic coating.
As for which is best, I guess it depends how much you think you're going to throw your phone around

Throw? Never, unless onto the bed across the room. Its more of, late night out drinking and drop it from like 5 feet high on to concrete... that kind of scenario. Siedio for tbolt held up well for that did break the case eventually but phone still doesnt have a scratch. But yes, thank you for mentioning comfort, because if it never slips out of your hand... you never drop it. Looking for something grippy if possible, but that is second on my list to overall protection of course.

They are both grippy. The Defender is just a bit too big to hold comfortably. I guess that's the joy of better protection. Ironically, the Defender is possibly more likely to be dropped, not because it slips from your hand, but because it's likely to snag when you try to take it out of your pocket.
I'm going to stick to the Defender for now, although I will remove the screen protector. I use Liquid Armour on the screen and this pretty much negates the need for a plastic cover on the screen.

Whag was your reasoning for choosing the defender over the commuter? I hear it doesnt snag on pockets and has a regular screen protector. I ask because this case is my backup for the time being

I had a commuter on my iphone, and it was dreadful. It didn't fit well, and really didn't feel like it would provide any degree of protection at all. And protection was rather important with all that glass! Binned it after a few days and ended up with a Taktik case (kickstarter thing). But I digress.
Apart from my iphone experience, I would say the Seidio case is better than the Commuter. It will give as much protection, and look and fit better.

[Q] Cases you are using

I am curious to what cases people are using and recommend. I am currently uaing otterbox case I bought when I got my phone and the corners are starting to peel back a bit, so I feel like I need a new case. In my area they don't have much for good protection cases that aren't to expensive.
I'm using the poetic atmosphere case. It has a little lip that lifts the screen off a table when face down, decent grip, and full back coverage. All while being really slim. I had a problem with my first one coming apart, but poetic sent me a brand new case that was "improved". And I don't think they were lying, the new case holds tight to the phone and is staying together nicely. Plus, they are cheap on Amazon.

I've got the Cimo Grip back in frosted clear, and my wife has the amCase with bumper(because it is pink ) I like the Cimo and have heard good things about the Poetics, I will say though that the amCase one doesn't have the power cut out so you cannot use the IR blaster. Altough it is easy to cut out with an exacto knife or the like.

I use Seidio surface cases on any phone I get. Mainly because they don't add much bulk, offer good protection and come with a belt clip. My phones always look brand new when I sell them a year or 2 later.

Switch between incipio dual pro and incipio tpu, depending on the day

That looks like the defender.
This is the one I use http://www.otterbox.com/HTC-One-Com...ne,default,pd.html?start=3&cgid=htc-one-cases
I use the urban armor gear for my daily and the poetic flipbook every now and then.

Seidio Surface with kickstand. Love it
I'm using the body glove case that I got at the sprint store. Its nice and thin.
poetic atmosphere during the weekends and an otterbox commuter or defender during the work week if im out on jobs with my employees.
Just some cheap case for 3.99 from ebay, works well enough that screen does not touch when facing down and as well as the camera. IR blaster works and volumes buttons are easy to press.
I'm using the two tone original HTC case. Sexy as hell. Protects the phone nicely.

I have a commuter, and this happens to all of them, I had 3 different ones for my iPhone and the corners always look like that after a while, specially if you take the phone out of the case too often

I use the cimo s grip and ditztronic tpu , both great cases
I'm using the Incipio Dual Pro and I love it. The only thing is I got the aluminum brushed one, and the back scratches REALLY easily. Oh well.
Thanks all for the feedback. I will look into all these cases and see if any spark my liking. the corners on my case are kinda starting to bug me, I don't know why, but it does.
I just got this case about a week ago. Pretty solid so far.
