I have been ordering Seidio cases for all my last several phones. My S3, S4, Galaxy Nexus. Decided to go with HTC One M8 since my last 3 phones were Samsung. I get a new phone every year. Easier to sell a phone while it maintains value at a year old or so.
The Dilex case has been showing in production up to the last time I checked 2 days ago, but I checked this morning and now available.
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSK3HTM8K-BK
I am ordering today.
They also have a 20% off code CS20, guess shipping kind of kills the coupon but you get a warranty when you buy from Seidio or an authorized dealer of their products.
With one of my last cases, I dropped my phone but no damage to the phone but the corner of the hard plastic broke off. I contacted Seidio since I had purchased direct from them and they sent me a whole new case for free and no need to ship back my old one. Just had to take a picture and email it to them.
And just after I ordered my Surface with kickstand on Sunday. Figures. Maybe Seidio can push their products out on a decent time next time.

Maybe you could exchange.
Eh, maybe, but I don't want to waste even more time getting a case on my beautiful phone. It should be delivered today. Unless it's not a good looking case, then I'll probably keep it. Love Seidio's kickstand feature.

Yea I bought that clear Spigen case, but the buttons are kind of hard to press. Nice case and was cheap solution until Seidio released the Dilex.
Looks like the plastic shell finally goes over the top of the device, which means it should slide into and out of the holster without the silicone getting caught on it. Finally!
Can't tell if it blocks the IR from functioning though. The M7 version did.

Can you do a quick review of the Surface when you get it?
I've been thinking about ordering it, as I liked the Surface on my One m7 and One XL.

Ah I didn't catch that... I don't think that was there this morning. Yea the IR is under the power button.
I was disappointed that they chose to block the IR blaster again. I thought on the m8 it was in the whole top, and I figured that that would make it easier for them. I had their case for my m7, and while I love the case, I might at least try out one of the other kickstand cases first, largely because of this.

I am gonna drill a little hole in the power button and hope it works. I tested and covered only the power button with my thumb and it would not control anything so I think a small hole or two should be enough. I just got shipping confirmation. I will post a pic after I drill the power button and post if it works.

Got the surface with kickstand and holster today. Very nice as always. The kickstand sits further down towards the bottom and does blend in better than on the m7. On the m7 the kickstand was an eyesore, not so on the m8. Feels high quality overall. Very happy with it. Does not add too much bulk.

The Otterbox commuter also "blocks" the IR blaster, but the remote functionality still works.
Can someone with the case comment on if it works or not? And can anyone compare it to the commuter? The kickstand is tempting.

Assuming this and the commuter are similar to the m7 versions (and I think for the most part, at least in terms of thickness and style they are), the dilex is thinner than the otterbox by a good bit. Even with the hump in the middle (which is much less pronounced, and now at the bottom), it was better feeling in the hand, and the soft touch plastic on the dilex is a lot nicer IMO than the otterbox. Seidio is also great about replacing if you have a problem and mine has survived several fairly severe drops and kept the phone perfectly safe. The kickstand has also spoiled me for all other cases that don't have one.
got case today
Got my case today. Its pretty nice. Adds some weight but not too bad.
I cut a little bit out of the power button just using a safety pin and some small snips.
I was able to use the IR blaster, seems I have to be pretty direct so I will probably just widen the hole a little more or make another one. It works just fine though.
Nice =) can you take a picture where the ports are?

I've searched but I couldn't seem to find a thread, I'm wondering what cases do all you guys have? I just got the hero and I want to protect it, especially the screen. So who has what and who likes what?
Here is some good reviews of the most popular cases.
http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/49725-bodyglove-vs-otterbox-vs-seido-innocase.html
I use the bodyglove case. I like the way it looks and feels, but do have 2 complaints:
1. When typing in portrait mode, it is hard for my to hit the keys at the edges of the screen (so i normally type in landscape mode, lol!)
2. If you DO happen to drop your phone, sometimes this case pops open. That being said, I've not had my phone damaged when this has happened, but you still should be aware.
I plan on trying the otterbox myself, just to see if it is better, but for the most part I am completely happy with the bodyglove.
I have thew rubber case they sell in the sprint store. i cut the edge's of on the screen part due to not being able to hit the edge of the screen like tejasrichard mentioned with his case
anybody try one of those TPU (thermo plastic) cases they are like silicone ones but i guess way more sturdy and repel dust im interested only one place has em for our heros so im assuming they are pretty new to the market
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030C4IXK/ref=oss_product
A little pricey for a case but I love it. Great fit and function. Fits perfectly, no complaints.

A buddy of mine has one for his blackberry. I dont think he liked it.
I have the body glove case, and absolutely love it. i switched from the HTC silicon rubber case to it, and have not looked back. love the integrated belt clip. gives full body protection to the Hero, except it does not protect the screen from scratches... but you should have no worries there since it is glass. hth

Has anyone compared the otterbox impact and commuter series? Is the commuter series suppose to be more rugged? I can get the commuter series from newegg for the same price as the impact normally is. Reading their descriptions on the otterbox website aren't very helpful in differentiating the series. The commuter is a hard shell where the impact is a soft one right?
Seidio Innocase II combo. Absolutely love it. Adds almost no bulk to the phone at all.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hl3csr3hhrs-bk.htm
It comes in other colors too.
Otterbox
It's a little bulky, yeah, but it has a good feel to it. Also, Hero took a trip into the hot tub again (survived once with no case) with the Otterbox on and there was almost no water inside the battery area when I pulled it out. Phone still works!
i dont know if to get the outterbox one or the Seidio Innocase II combo

I'm using a swiveling mount from Proclip.
The pricing is absurd, $45 just for the swivel part, you need to have a base mount to attach it to. I already had a custom base in my Honda S2000 I bought for my Garmin ($15) with the standard mounting holes. The Garmin is going to Ebay with these great new 2.1 ROMs and built in NAV.
The Proclip is well built, very functional and sturdy as hell. It works great vertically and horizontally. It DOES NOT work with a case on your Hero. I am using a no-name hard plastic clear case ($5 from the interwebs) that I snap on and off each time I get in my car.
The whole setup works so well that I am using Home++ so that I can utilize horizontal home screens while driving... Can't wait for Darch's stock build and I will switch to this.
Droid Live is my new car radio, tethered to a Sony deck with A2DP bluetooth.
Waterproof and Fully Functional Case!!!
I will be getting a new case in a couple of weeks that has yet to hit the market. It is 100% waterproof and very functional for those of you that are boaters, beach goers and pool sitters. See pic below. I will have them on eBay for $39.95 but for all of you here on XDA, it will be $30.00 + $3.00 shipping. I can invoice you via paypal or we can do the cashier check and mail thing. My eBay user name is "goulpher36" if you would like to check my feedback. You can reserve one if you send me an email and mention "XDA".
Opppsie! I read the rules after my post. Sorry...
When I got home this case was waiting for me at my door.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IMBU8C4/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I think the case looks great on the M8, but who cares what I think, have a look for yourself!
All the proper cutouts are there, as far as I can tell. Only the power button has an actual cutout, the volume button is covered but still gives nice feedback.
I've had previous experiences where the clear back material gets scratched up easily, I will update this post accordingly once I rock the case for a few days.
I bought the same case, hoping I'll have it by Monday or Tuesday.

I purchased mine on announcment day and received it earlier than expected!
Mine showed up yesterday, and I really like it. It doesn't add a lot of bulk and you can still see the gun metal gray through the back. I do foresee the need to polish the clear plastic every so often to keep it looking nice tho.
I just received mine yesterday. Probably the best case I have owned for my one. Going to bestbuy later to return the speck candy shell I bought.
I got this case to hold me over until the dot case arrived because it was so cheap. I am actually very happy with it. For $5 you cannot beat this. Decent drop protection and looks nice.

Better than I expected.
Light scratches on the back of the case. Every thing else is solid.
I really like this case. The black border looks great. The only issue I have with it is the bottom of the case with the bigger cut out for the power and headphone jack, the plastic is not strong enough there and the plastic sticks away slightly. The black border adds a good amount of extra grip. For the price I might just get another as backup.

Hard clear plastic will scratch and look and feel worst overtime, I suggest putting a wet install back protector.

Looks great! I got a case that looks very similar, I bet it's a identical generic version, for a couple of bucks cheaper than the SUPCASE. I'll post some pictures later to give a comparison.

Posted pictures and a review over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713161
I received mine in the mail today. Little slippery, but grips enough for me (I'm not much of a dropper.) The cut out for the microphone on the back is a little off, but not enough to cover the microphone at all. Finally, the cut out for the headphone jack and the USB port is kind of sharp around the edges, I might consider filing those down.
Overall, it's not bad for $10!
I ordered one of these as well. I wound up ordering three cases from Amazon on Friday night. Delivery estimate is between 4/18 - 5/5!

Best case I have found for this phone.
It's slim, light and doesn't add bulk to the phone. Plus it's not made from silicone, so it actually comes out of the holster with very little effort.
Definitely worth the money.
Mind sharing pics of it? I recently bought a Verizon kickstand case but it's a weird texture that feels uncomfortable. I think this is the same exact case but cheaper and better texture.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Here you go..
It's a very comfortable texture, in my opinion. I like this one a lot more than the silicon one I got first.
All around it's just a much better design.
This one is a 2 layer, adds a bit more protection imo. I've been using it for some time. At first it is snug in the holster, but after using it a bit it slides in and out easily, without any worrying of it falling out on accident. It WAS only $7 but guess it's since gone up in price. I use one of their cases for my Nexus 7 also, its held up for a long time now!

I like how a kickstand can double as a way to easy hold the phone with one hand. You can use your fingers to secure it. anyone else do this? I have the verizon version of this but don't use it because I don't like the texture. How is the texture on this one?

That's what I had on the phone before. I hate that thing. If anyone wants it, pay me for the shipping and you can have it.
I find it too difficult to remove the phone from the holster. It takes both hands and most times I have to remove the holster from my belt. Not ideal.
Its also way more bulky than the new one.

Sure it's more bulky - it actually adds some protection to the phone Not sure something so thin is going to guard it from much more than a scratch. Where as a plastic / rubber 2 piece will actually provide some form of coverage / give in a drop scenario.
It was more difficult to remove, at first, sure. But if you use it for a few days and slide it in and out, it loosens up ... yet still holds it plenty firm to be active and not be concerned of it slipping out. Just my $.02 cheers!

I'm pretty careful with my phones.. so the extra protection isn't a huge concern.
I only used the other case from the day I got the phone until I got this one, so only about a month and a half and it never got easier to take out, if anything it got more difficult. I don't need a holster that I have to remove from my belt and use both hands to remove the phone from it.
I need one that I can remove the phone one handed. I like to be able to have my phone out so I can answer it before it stops ringing. Great that you like your's I didn't like it.
So, again, if anyone wants this case, I'll be happy to give it to you for the cost of shipping.

Hey guy, I'll gladly take your offer.
Trident really disappointed me that they aren't making a Kraken AMS for the M8, and i've been hardpressed for a Kickstand, 2-layer protection style case with belt holster. I have a Kraken case on my HTC Ville.
Anyhow mind shooting me a PM about the I-Blason?

I was looking for a good transparent case for my M8. First I ordered the Atmosphere case from Poetic and it was very HARD material and I was not comfortable using it. While looking for alternatives, i founds this.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271510383352?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&var=570343293349&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I am very satisfied with this. It is only 7$. Also comes in variety of colors. I went for the conservative Black. All cutouts are quite precise. Only bad thing I found was that it did not have a cutout for the IR blaster. Since I did not use this functionality, it was fine with me. The back is crystal clear and shows off the beauty of the phone. It is a minimal case and wont protect the phone much from drops I believe (am yet to drop it, nope I never do!!). Installing this without any dust in the case is a bit painstaking, but once installed, it does not let further dust in. I have been using this for 5 days now and am impressed. If anyone wants any more details/pics please let me know.

For this price, will try out, want to see how it compares to the Kaycase.

It is smooth but has a slight sticky grip to it. I am not sure how I can convey it through words. Its definitely better that Atmosphere case from poetic and also better than using it naked (I nearly dropped it twice using it naked and with atmosphere case).
Looks like thunder and lightning. Bring a umbrella.

Thanks for posting this. Just purchased this and the tempered glass screen protector, cannot wait to receive them .
just wish there was one like this with a cutout for the IR blaster. anyone know of any? i use the IR blaster often, to control various devices in my home.

From nearly 2 weeks of usage, I can say that it DOES get a few scratches. Not bead enough for me to abandon ship yet. But from the way it is going, I ,may have to get rid of this after a month or 2.

Havent received it yet .
I've had this case for a couple months. A lot of versions of this case all over eBay/Amazon. I LOVE it. Provides just the right amount of protection, while still allowing me to show off the beauty of the phone. I just took a Xacto/Utility knife and cut out the little piece covering the power button so that I could use the IR blaster. Easy. Took 20 seconds tops and looks no different. You cant even tell it was there. Its a little harder to depress the power button without the raised section on the case, but I use double tap to wake and sleep so that isnt much of an issue. I rarely have to use the power button anyway. I definitely recommend this case. Got it for about $6 shipped on eBay.
I got my Green version friday and used it over the weekend.
I really nice the feel and fit and really like the colour combination.
BUT there is a MAJOR downside to it: it has TERRIBLE flash bleed!
I got my black case and I absolutely love it! I love the rubber feel on the side and the transparent back; I feel as if its the only case I have seen that still shows the beauty of the phone off. I also got a tempered glass screen protector from the same buyer and I am very happy .
I don't understand why these case company keep interfering with the flash, if they just made the camera/flash cutout bigger then there would be no problem.

I have a very similar case and my only complaint is that the clear back scratches easily and quickly, as opposed to - say - the Spiggen clear one that lasted much longer before inevitably scratching.
Anyone find a good one?
Wow, I have the same question. This thing is super slippery. All I want is a rubber bumper, no back, no front. Can't seem to find one.
Same boat here guys. This is the closest thing I could find:

I preordered last week and it ships next Tuesday, but apparently they are now backordered until october, I guess. You can always write and ask if they plan to have anything sooner though, I suppose.
If anyone has a 3d printer I guess you can try making your own, too....or even with just a box cutter and a cheap-o tpu case off ebay.

best I could find. Should have it Monday to see if it comes close to the gen1 grip shell I loved so much.

Ordered the same thing earlier this morning as it's all I could find. Didn't want a case but the phone is slick.

That isn't really a bumper case, it has a clear back piece and is therefore a shell case... there are several cases like that available, one example is the one I have, the Tudia Lucion.
I have not seen a true bumper case for the Moto G yet.

Uh.. yeah.. like I said it's the closest option I could find.. I know it's not a true bumper. I saw that Tudia but looked thicker than what I listed. Still wish they would make grip shells for this model like they did for the older models.
The poetic case has grips on the edges...just sayin'
My Orzly bumper case was delivered today. It's .... eh, I'd give it a solid 4 out of 10. Does it cover the phone, yes. Does it add a bit of grip, yes. Is it attractive, no. The search for a case continues...
I was able to remove the clear piece from the case. It's now a bumper! Not great, but a bumper none the less.

Yeah, tbh I'm probably going to get one... The Tudia case is developing an annoying spot by the buttons where it lifts the screen protector when i press the power button sometimes. I liked the case initially, but after having it a bit, it just doesn't fit as well as it should, especially around the buttons.

I bought this 12 days ago and it arrived today. It's got an awesome look and feels and feels soooo premium. Cut outs are also excellent and USB and audio jacks plug in perfectly.

Be careful with metal bumpers. They're known to interfere with reception.
Thx for bringing that up, for me I doesn't have much of an affect as I live in a urban area, but I've heard that for some people it could reduce the signal a lot (not specifically for this case though)
